Ms. Fang, Eldest Uncle, and the others finally arrived in Hangzhou City after the minor Chinese New Year.
The magistrate's office in Hangzhou was much larger than the one in Huaixi province, providing ample space for the entire family to live comfortably.
Though Ms. Fang and the others were not used to city life, they spent most of their time in a nearby village, engaging in farm work. Taotao and Zhao Shu would visit them occasionally or arrange meetings at the magistrate's office, making them feel much more at ease than before.
Ms. Fang had more servants around her, and Qiao Xuan had selected some experienced maids and stewards to ensure they weren't taken advantage of during any banquets or parties.
After what happened in Anze Province, Eldest Uncle did not dare to cause trouble anymore. He just hoped someone reliable would accompany him whenever he went out. He was worried about losing face again if something similar occurred.
