She would conduct her rounds once every three to five years, diligently fortifying and refining her efforts each time. It was an achievable task.
In the correspondence, they discussed Shao Liulang's examination results. Despite ranking third from the bottom, it was still a commendable achievement.
Qiao Xuan beamed. "Impressive that Shao Liulang managed to secure a rank! The third branch must be bursting with pride! Third Aunt-in-law must be positively beaming!"
Shao Yunduan echoed her sentiment. "Indeed, the third branch is elated, but with our mother here, they dare not overstep."
Qiao Xuan nodded in agreement. Without Ms. Fang's presence, Eldest Uncle might have been so overjoyed that he'd consider bequeathing more than half of the family's estate to the third branch.
The conversation lingered on. Shao Yunduan mentioned Shao Liulang's lack of ambition to advance to the rank of Intermediate Advanced Scholar, a sentiment Qiao Xuan shared.
