Chapter 1919: Understanding Person Chapter 1919: Understanding Person Editor: Henyee Translations However, Qiao Xuan made it clear that participation was entirely voluntary.

Despite her position as the Prefect’s wife and Shao Yunduan’s status as the Prefect, they refrained from coercing civilians into joining her endeavors.

While she initially anticipated skepticism from many, she knew that once a few families experienced success, others would likely follow suit.

With Anze Province secured, Shao Yunduan sent letters to both his family and Yuezheng Xiao.

Yuezheng Xiao intended to extend his congratulations but was preoccupied with year-end matters and couldn’t make it.

Meanwhile, Zhao Shu returned to Shaoding Village.

With no elders in his family to answer to, he could stay in Shaoding Village for as long as he pleased.

Though engaged to Taotao, staying in her house was now deemed inappropriate.

Instead, arrangements were made for him to stay with the Land Officer’s family at night.

Recognizing the potential for gossip and the importance of safeguarding Taotao’s reputation, it was decided that they would not reside together under the same roof, despite their innocence.

There was no need for explanation.

Zhao Shu’s arrangement to reside in the Land Officer’s house proved highly convenient and spared him from potential trouble.

The Land Officer’s family, esteemed and respected in the community, readily welcomed Zhao Shu into their home.

Delighted by the unexpected good fortune, they treated him with warmth and hospitality, assigning him the best room in the house.

Grateful for their hospitality, Zhao Shu took it upon himself to refurbish his living quarters, investing in new furniture and even enhancing the courtyard with flat green bricks to alleviate mud issues during rainy weather.

Not stopping there, he also upgraded the house’s interior, replacing old curtains and rejuvenating the overall appearance.

With his generosity extending beyond mere lodging, Zhao Shu frequently treated the Land Officer’s family to various delicacies, further solidifying their bond and earning their admiration.

His gracious demeanor, combined with his wealth and humility, endeared him even more to the Land Officer’s family.

They considered themselves fortunate to host such a noble and benevolent Young Master, remarking on Taotao’s good fortune.

However, as news of Zhao Shu’s generosity reached the ears of other family members, discontent began to brew among the second and third sections of the Shao Family.

The third branch, particularly, felt that Zhao Shu should stay with them instead.

After all, their Liulang was a scholar, knowledgeable and capable of engaging Zhao Shu in meaningful conversations.

Moreover, they emphasized their familial connection, expecting him to choose their household over the Land Officer’s.

However, Ms.

Fang, Zhao Shu’s mother-in-law, dismissed their suggestion, expressing concern about potential gossip if Zhao Shu were to move in before marriage.

She pointed out that their grandson, Xiaozhi, was still unmarried, and having Zhao Shu reside with them could lead to unwarranted rumors.

Ms.

Ma, from the third branch, was incensed by Ms.

Fang’s response.

Meanwhile, the second section of the family distanced themselves from the situation, showing little interest or concern.

As for the Land Officer’s family, while they had no unmarried daughters, the wife and eldest daughter-in-law’s relatives seemed eager to send a girl to stay with them, likely with matchmaking intentions in mind.
