Chapter 1226: Prepared

Editor: Henyee Translations

They hesitated to make the decision, but ultimately, Shao Yunduan accompanied Qiao Xuan to purchase the ornaments.

The entire set of ruby and sapphire jewelry came at a hefty price of 80,000 liang.

In addition to that, she acquired several other ornate pieces worth over 5,000 liang. The selection ranged from an array of brocades, satins, silk garments, to various exquisite ornaments. Money seemed to have no limit when it came to satisfying one’s desires.

Even Qiao Xuan, who had limited interest in such things, couldn’t resist making some purchases.

With everything in place, there was only one thing left to do.

The next day, Lixia and Liqiu assisted Qiao Xuan in getting ready. The transformation left them both stunned, as she radiated an aura of elegance and nobility.

“Fifth Madame, you look absolutely stunning! Why the solemn expression? You’re positively regal!”

“Yeah, you look incredibly chic!”

“That’s the epitome of elegance!”

The absence of mirrors in the hotel limited Qiao Xuan’s view, allowing her only to catch glimpses of her makeup and upper body. The dimly lit mirror didn’t do justice to her appearance.

Nevertheless, Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy, adorned in vibrant brocade and an abundance of pearls. She was truly a sight to behold.

Lixia chimed in, “Fifth Mrs. Yuezheng, you look splendid like this. We should dress you like this all the time!”

Qiao Xuan almost stumbled, torn between laughter and tears. “Let’s not overdo it; it’s not very practical to dress like this!”

This attire was more suitable for formal occasions.

All three maids shared a hearty laugh.

With everything prepared, Uncle Qing and Sun Bai led her, accompanied by more than ten servants.

Shao Yunduan, being a court official, couldn’t openly participate in business matters today, so he wouldn’t be joining them. He had initially planned to see her off, but a request from the prefectural office required his immediate presence. Before he departed, he offered Qiao Xuan a word of caution, which added to her nervousness.

However, upon observing the presence of Uncle Qing and Sun Bai, Qiao Xuan felt assured of her safety.

Four opulent carriages set out toward the expansive 100,000 mu mulberry fields situated outside the city.

This vast expanse of mulberry fields was no small domain. There were accompanying farms where both farmers and tenants resided, along with several overseers.

Uncle Qing had arrived with his trusted team of managers, although this visit was primarily ceremonial.

Qiao Xuan and her entourage made their entrance into the farm with an air of pride, attracting the curiosity of onlookers.

“What’s happening here?”

“Who are these people?”

“It’s rather unusual, isn’t it?”

“Could Young Master be back?”

“That might be the case!”

“…”

Whispers filled the air as people conversed among themselves, with some bold individuals even following to witness the spectacle. A few individuals concealed their true intentions as they joined the procession.

When Uncle Qing descended from the fourth carriage, gasps of recognition resounded through the crowd.

“Uncle Qing!”

“It’s Uncle Qing!”

“So, it’s the return of the Young Master, then?”

“Indeed!”

Everyone was well aware of Uncle Qing’s close association with Madame Zheng. Following Madame Zheng’s passing, Uncle Qing and his wife remained devoted servants to the Third Young Master.

Years had passed since they last saw the Third Young Master, and considering the deep friendship between Madame Zheng and the Third Young Master, his arrival typically warranted joyful celebrations. However, this time, there were only exchanged glances laden with complexity, and nobody dared to display their happiness openly.
