The number of farmers and tenants at Liuhe Manor had increased, lending the place a lively atmosphere.
For three days, they enjoyed outdoor activities, including hunting in the nearby mountains. Upon receiving news from the province, Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan, and Anan prepared to return the following day.
With a reassuring smile, Ms. Fang said, "I know you're busy. Just go ahead. I'll keep an eye on things here. Don't worry, if I miss you, I'll come visit…"
The distance between Anze Province and the provincial capital wasn't considerable, especially with the improved roads. They departed at dawn, expecting to arrive in the evening after a day's journey.
Geographically, the distance between them had diminished. This parting didn't feel too sorrowful.
With Ms. Fang, Taotao, Uncle Qing, and Aunt Qing present, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan felt reassured. Even if an issue arose, they were confident they could handle it.
