So, those who sought to form a martial alliance might have ulterior motives. What if they targeted the wrong individuals and deceived them into making promises? This could potentially bring trouble to Qi and Taotao in the future, putting the entire family at risk.

Ms. Fang was determined not to let this happen. The family was thriving, and her sons and daughters-in-law were all doing well. The peace and harmony within the family were invaluable.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan wholeheartedly agreed to assist in the matter.

“Mom, don’t worry. My wife and 1 will ensure that everything goes smoothly. When it comes to Qi and Taotao’s marriages, we won’t focus solely on family background. What truly matters is the character of the individuals,” Shao

Yunduan reassured.

Ms. Fang smiled and sighed with relief. “You’re absolutely right! Just look at your Third Sister-in-law. Her family may not have been well-off, but she has thrived after marrying into our family. That’s what truly counts. Qi and Taotao don’t need partners who are highly successful, but they must be reliable and not cause any trouble.”

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan felt a hint of embarrassment.

Qiao Xuan chuckled. “Niom, it’s not that simple. We can’t just settle for anyone for Qi and Taotao! We will handle this matter carefully and make sure to find the best matches for them.”

“If someone proposes a marriage now, we will decline. What do you think about waiting until after my husband’s spring examination? That way, we’ll have enough time to thoroughly evaluate and gather information,” suggested

Qiao Xuan.

Ms. Fang was pleased to hear this proposal and nodded in agreement.

They shouldn’t rush to find suitors now. What if Shao Yunduan becomes the Advanced Scholar and starts working in the governmental office? Qi and Taotao would have a much broader selection of potential partners then. Qu Shan arrived with a group of people from the province.

Yuezheng Xiao’s letter informed them that they had obtained many dragon fruits and papaya seeds. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were invited to visit them and collaborate on this project.

Qiao Xuan was delighted by the news and made up her mind to visit them. She intended to use her superpower to ensure the safekeeping of the seeds throughout the winter.

Concerned for her safety, Shao Yunduan decided to accompany her on the journey.

Qiao Xuan carefully selected some distinctive fruits from the garden. Although they no longer had pineapples or sugarcanes, she gathered a few bananas, dragon fruits, and papayas.

The bergamot trees were thriving, producing large and fragrant fruits. They collected a total of twelve bergamots.

Six of them would go to the Xie Family, and the remaining six to the Yuezheng

Family.

They also obtained fresh ginseng.

Coincidentally, Qi had returned from hunting with two roe deer and several pheasants. They decided to bring both roe deer and selected eight pheasants and eight hares each.

They also packed four bottles of homemade mushroom sauce, tomato sauce, sesame oil, red oil pickles, and chili sauce. However, they decided to leave behind the unfinished smoked meat.

The wagons were now filled with these provisions.

Qiao Xuan also successfully saved the silver ink orchids from the Yuezheng Family.

She placed two seeds in her special space and planned to bring the original one to the Xie Family.

Once everything was arranged, they set off with Qu Shan.

As good friends, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan didn’t hide anything from Qu

Shan. They openly discussed their concerns.

Qiao Xuan inquired about the situation with Yuezheng Ting.

It was an event that couldn’t be concealed. Numerous people had witnessed or heard about it, and no one could erase that memory..
