With nothing to do, the two girls would ride horses and stroll around the small town, becoming a beautiful scenery in Tianshui Town.
The Yuan, Qiao, and Tian families would fall silent for a long time when they learned that Qiao Mai had returned to her hometown.
Regret was no use. Fortunately, Qiao Mai did not report them to the authorities. Before leaving, Yuan Jiaqi arranged jobs for the men of both families, providing decent pay.
In these years, they behaved well, fearing to lose their jobs. They watched their elderly family members and refrained from causing trouble in the town.
They couldn't afford to stir trouble as Qiao Mai and her family had moved to the capital.
Every year, news about Qiao Mai's family would reach them. When they heard it, they regretted it deeply. If only they had treated the couple better, would they now live in Lucky Garden, being addressed as Old Master and Old Mistress by the servants?
