Chapter 1125: Back to Shaoding Village
Editor: Henyee Translations
With two additional wagons, four servants, two maids, and six escorts, they formed a large and imposing group of people as they arrived at Shaoding Village.
Qiao Xuan’s generous and kind nature was apparent, contrasting with her mother-in-law’s mother. The six escorts, who had been prepared for any troubles on the way, found themselves dealing with a very friendly and polite client.
Although they had never dealt with the Yuezheng Family before, they could sense that it was not a family to be underestimated. Madame Shao’s numerous contacts further emphasized the importance of showing politeness.
By the time they arrived at Shaoding Village, it was already dark. Even in the darkness, Qiao Xuan felt a sense of familiarity as she gazed at her surroundings. Though she had no emotional attachment to the Qiao Family, she couldn’t help but consider Shaoding Village as her true hometown, especially since she had developed strong bonds with the Shao Family and Shao Yunduan.
After dinner, Lixia and Liqiu knocked on the door of the Shao Family’s first section. Yang Xiaoni’s voice called out from inside, asking who it was.
Lixia and Liqiu responded, “Third Madame, it’s us, Lixia and Liqiu! Third Madame, please open the door, our Madame has returned!”
Something fell onto the floor, causing a loud clang sound!
The door creaked open, and Qiao Xuan stood there, looking up at Yang Xiaoni with bright eyes. She exclaimed, “Third Sister-in-law, I’m home!”
Yang Xiaoni was taken aback and immediately burst into tears. She threw herself into Qiao Xuan’s arms, crying out, “Fifth Sister-in-law, it’s really you! Mom, Dad, Sanlang, Elder Brother, sister-in-law, Taotao, Fifth Sister-in-law is back! Fifth Sister-in-law is back!”
“Third Sister-in-law…”
Qiao Xuan smiled and patted Yang Xiaoni’s back. Third Sister-in-law was as open-minded as ever! It seemed that everything was going well at home!
Ms. Fang and Taotao all screamed when they heard what Yang Xiaoni said.
“What did you say? Ms. Qiao, it is you!”
Ms. Fang had not yet finished the complaint about the excitement as she went forward happily.
Ms. Xu, Taotao and the others all came forward happily.
The commotion at the gate of the first section of the Shao Family attracted the attention of all the neighbors, and they gathered to watch and greet Qiao Xuan. The sight of numerous bags coming out of the wagon made them feel both envious and respectful, as they realized how wealthy the first section of the Shao Family truly was.
As Qiao Xuan entered the house, the neighbors followed suit, eager to chat and see what was happening. News of her return quickly spread throughout the village, and even the Land Officer and others arrived to greet her. Qiao Xuan’s status as the wife of an officer and Shao Yunduan’s position as the village manager made them highly respected figures, and their return was a cause for celebration.
Unaware that so many guests would come to greet her, Qiao Xuan and her family had to receive them well. They asked the servants to unpack some snacks and refreshments for the guests to enjoy.
Ms. Fang instructed her sons to take care of the escorts and servants from the Yuezheng Family and provide them with a place to rest. Meanwhile, Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni sought the help of their two Sister-in-laws and busied themselves in the kitchen, preparing food for the guests.
