Chapter 2337: Adopted DaughterHenyee Translations

Lord Shao was a loyal and honorable man. Although the marriage alliance hadn’t achieved its intended goals, there was a sense of security and reassurance in his presence. His integrity made others feel more at ease following him.

As for the future, there was hope that patience might bring new opportunities.

Qiao Xuan, however, was indifferent to others’ opinions. She informed Shao Yunduan that she would handle the sea trade, including the port construction and fleet management.

Shao Yunduan, who trusted and cherished her, had no reason to refuse her request. He instructed the relevant personnel to cooperate with her and assigned two experienced officers to assist her.

The prominent families of Jiangnan were dismayed. They privately complained that Lord Shao had been bewitched by Madam Shao, questioning how she could be entrusted with such an important matter as sea trade. Despite Lord Shao’s public interest in the sea trade, they felt he was no better than the imperial court.

He had no idea how significant this situation was.

However, as time went on, they would see whether Lord Shao was indeed making a mistake or if their judgment had been wrong.

Only then would they understand what kind of woman Madam Shao was. Regardless of her family’s support, she had become a force in her own right.

Lord Shao treated her like a treasure. Who could possibly undermine her position?

By then, Madam Shao would have built her own powerful network.

After Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan publicly announced that Qiao Xuan had severed ties with the Qiao family, the First Madame came to Hangzhou to visit Qiao Xuan and relax. She also wanted to take Qiao Xuan as her goddaughter.

The First Madame had always liked Qiao Xuan, and she was even more annoyed after hearing about the Qiao family’s situation.

The Qiao family was indeed as unreliable as County Magistrate Qiao had been, and the family clan was no better!

They didn’t want such a wonderful girl, but Qiao Xuan couldn’t ask for more.

Touched by the First Madame’s words, Qiao Xuan agreed without much hesitation.

The First Madame was not one to flatter for the sake of appearances. Her intentions were genuine, and she truly cared for Qiao Xuan.

Although Qiao Xuan felt she didn’t need a family, having one was certainly more convenient than not. It would help her manage many troubles.

Both she and Shao Yunduan disliked dealing with such issues.

Shao Yunduan agreed with her sentiment. He organized a grand ceremony in Hangzhou City and arranged for a guard of honor to escort Qiao Xuan and the First Madame back to the Yuezheng Family in Yuzhang province. Since he couldn’t leave Hangzhou City at the moment, he asked Anan, Zhao Shu, and Taotao to accompany them.

He also informed Ms. Fang of Shaoding Village and invited her family to join the journey.

The event was lively and extravagant, leaving onlookers envious. Lord Shao clearly valued Madam Shao deeply!

With the support of the Yuezheng Family, Madam Shao was like a tiger with wings, and no one dared to underestimate her anymore.
