Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2012: The Fall of the Mei Family

At this juncture, only one of the three prominent clans remained in Anze Prefecture City.

The Bai Family and Wen Family, now aligned with Shao Yunduan, began to assert their presence.

Historically, the Huo Family, the sole remaining clan of the three, maintained a low profile, appearing weak and uncompetitive. They shunned ostentation, preferring a tranquil existence. Their family members were known for their amiable demeanor.

Many sighed in disbelief.

Who would have imagined that the once understated Huo Family would emerge triumphant? They now stood as the most illustrious among the three.

It became evident that maintaining a low profile was the path to true success!

With the fall of the Mei Family, the local power dynamics in Anze Prefecture City underwent a significant shift.

All assets under the Mei Family’s ownership were redistributed.

To everyone’s surprise, the Prefect’s wife declined any claims this time.

Qiao Xuan deemed it unnecessary. With Liuhe Manor’s expansive holdings, absorbing too many additional properties would prove burdensome.

In the future, when she had the time, expanding her holdings wouldn’t pose a challenge. Exploration was well within her capabilities.

Furthermore, with the vast expanse of land at Liuhe Manor, it was more than sufficient for dealing with the hidden valley in Mili Town they had previously discovered.

Shortly after Qiao Xuan and Anan returned to their hometown, Shao Yunduan arranged for the construction of the hot spring villa.

Utilizing local materials to construct a wooden house and utilizing natural water sources to create hot spring pools didn’t require intricate designs. Everything was kept simple and straightforward, making the process relatively easy.

Ah-Ye proposed the idea of establishing a pasture and raising cattle, sheep, and horses.

While acquiring cattle and sheep was straightforward, obtaining horses posed a challenge. However, since wild horses roamed the area, arrangements could be made to capture and domesticate them.

Shao Yunduan found the idea intriguing but decided to discuss it with Qiao Xuan first before making any commitments.

Qiao Xuan and her son had only returned home a few days prior, but upon hearing Shao Yunduan’s proposal, she readily lent her support.

She believed that even if they couldn’t capture the entire herd of wild horses, they could still manage to secure a significant portion alive. With her presence, success was assured.

Accessing that area for leisure was effortless for her, and her presence would deflect any suspicions.

The vastness of the land made establishing a ranch a lucrative venture.

Qiao Xuan had little interest in involving herself in the Mei Family’s affairs.

Her reluctance to participate meant the other family clans in Anze City faced no opposition. Following a round of competition and behind-the-scenes negotiations, they swiftly divided up the Mei Family’s assets, tacitly excluding the Fan Clan and the Lu Clan from the proceedings.

Needless to say, Lord Shao harbored no desire to witness the further development of the Fan Family. Moreover, the third daughter of the Lu Family had incurred Lord Shao’s wrath, ensuring they wouldn’t be allowed to capitalize on the situation.

These two families seemed oblivious to their standing.

While Lord Shao had shown magnanimity in letting them off, it didn’t imply a willingness to tolerate their resurgence.

During such tumultuous times, shouldn’t those with sense remain low-key and lead a discreet existence?

The Lu Family, in particular, trembled in fear at the collapse of the Mei Family, dreading the possibility of being implicated themselves.
