Secretly Going

Unable to sway Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan resigned herself to taking action first and informing him later.

With Shao Yunduan preoccupied by the ongoing efforts to capture the remaining bandits and maintain order in Anze City, the government office buzzed with tension and urgency. Countless discussions and meetings filled the days.

Despite having meticulously prepared and even hosted a banquet to extend their apologies to Qiao Xuan, they remained vigilant, lest any oversight sour her mood once more.
