Chapter 1927: Plotting for a Long Time Chapter 1927: Plotting for a Long Time Editor: Henyee Translations Zhao Shu talked non-stop, explaining the series of arrangements.
It could be seen that this person had been plotting for a long time and had a plan!
Shao Yunduan found himself at a loss for words.
He teetered between laughter and tears, though he couldnât deny the touch of sentimentality that Zhao Shuâs words evoked.
Deep down, Shao Yunduan acknowledged Zhao Shuâs genuine affection for Taotao, even if he wouldnât openly admit it.
Shao Yunduanâs lack of objection to Zhao Shuâs plans signified his tacit approval.
However, the distance between Jiangnan and Heshan County posed a logistical challenge.
While it would be relatively easy for Taotao to visit Qiao Xuan and himself in the future, returning to Shaoding Village would prove more cumbersome.
This realization left Shao Yunduan feeling a tinge of sadness.
Similarly, Yang Xiaoni was reluctant to part ways with Qiao Xuan.
She continually reminded her friend to bring Anan home as soon as the weather warmed after the new year.
The longing for their presence at home, especially for Anan, was palpable.
Moreover, the prospect of returning to the mountains ignited Qiao Xuanâs excitement.
The mountains held a special allure, promising joy and adventure.
Yet, amidst the anticipation, thoughts of Qi lingered, casting a melancholic shadow over her spirits.
Yang Xiaoniâs emotional outburst, verging on tears, both saddened and amused Qiao Xuan.
With a gentle smile, she acquiesced and gently urged them to depart.
As they bid farewell, the realization dawned that the capital lay thousands of kilometers away from Anze Province, underscoring the vast distance separating them.
Under ordinary circumstances, the authorities in the capital wouldnât bother with a remote and seemingly inconsequential region like Anze Province.
The banditry issue in Anze Province was severe, yet it largely went unnoticed by the capitalâs elite.
Given the considerable distance between them, the question remained: could the bandits of Anze Prefecture truly pose a threat to the capital?
As long as rebellion wasnât raised, and casualties remained minimal, the Imperial Court showed little interest.
However, Anze Province held significance due to Shao Yunduanâs involvement, drawing attention from various quarters.
Shao Yunduanâs eradication of all bandits in An Zezhou sent shockwaves to the capital upon its dissemination.
The court was astounded by Lord Shaoâs multifaceted capabilitiesââŹâhe demonstrated not only academic prowess but also adeptness in combating banditry.
His mastery of both scholarly and martial arts disciplines was unparalleled.
For over a decade, the banditry issue had plagued Anze Province.
Yet, in a short span, Lord Shao managed to resolve it.
The news left many incredulous.
Who would have dared to doubt Lord Shaoâs abilities now?
Those who anticipated Lord Shaoâs failure, waiting for him to falter and seek refuge back in the capital, found themselves deeply embarrassed by his remarkable achievements.
Upon learning of these developments, Tian Shanshan was overcome with excitement, unable to sleep the entire night.
Her mind raced, her heart ablaze with fervor.
Clutching her chest, her flushed face and shining eyes betrayed her exhilaration.
Lost in a daze, she wore a blissful, intoxicated smile.
Her instincts had proven correct.
She had never doubted his capabilitiesââŹÂŚ Even in the remoteness of exile, he remained resolute and formidable.
His unwavering confidence and tenacity yielded remarkable results.
No one else could compare.
The more Tian Shanshan dwelled on it, the more impassioned she became.
The peculiar sense of pride and admiration nearly overwhelmed her, engulfing her in happiness.
Yet, thoughts of Qiao Xuan tempered Tian Shanshanâs fervor, gradually chilling her once heated heart.
Anger and resentment surged within her, fueling a desire to rid herself of Qiao Xuan as quickly as possible.
Why was he accompanied by a mere concubineâs daughter and not her?
If there was any blemish in his life, it undoubtedly stemmed from that concubineâs daughter.
Such a person was unworthy of him, yet he remained oblivious or chose to ignore it.
