Qiao Xuan firmly decided to keep her distance from them, as she would never involve herself with such people.
However, considering Shao Yunduan's affiliation with the Crown Prince's gang and the need to adhere to Emperor Xuan's stance, she realized that she couldn't remain idle. Perhaps, despite the odds, the Crown Prince could persevere until the end.
Determined not to be passive observers, they had to be proactive in their endeavors. Qiao Xuan saw this as an opportunity to make a substantial amount of money, which might prove useful in the future. With the support of the East Palace, they had some protection, regardless of the size of their properties.
Although Qiao Xuan initially planned to consider her options after the New Year, she knew that if she failed to find suitable collaborators, she might have to venture into the business herself. The only setback was the lack of manpower and connections, making it more convenient to collaborate with others.
