When Qi Younian inquired about Lady Zhao, Wong Qiao's expression was somewhat inexplicable, unable to tell whether it was relief or disappointment.
"My mother bought more than three hundred acres of land and a few houses with servants in Clear Water Village and its surrounding areas, and has stayed in Clear Water Village."
Lady Zhao experienced major changes in the capital, and then was pressured by the Zhou family to return to the Qi family to make a living. To Lady Zhao's delight, life in Clear Water Village with the Qi family was far more comfortable and smooth than following under Prince Fu's command.
This realization made Lady Zhao feel uneasy, yet she couldn't bear to give up this enjoyment and comfort.
In Clear Water Village, Wong Qiao remained Steward Wong. Whether at the Mechanical Workshop or in Cheung Wusi's management of the Qi Family Construction Business, Wong Qiao received respect from the craftsmen.
