They continued their conversation as they entered the room, and Qiao Xuan's spirits were lifted by the news. With a smile, she remarked, "Excellent! We can apprehend as many of those troublemakers as we please, and they're likely to be quite significant individuals."
Returning her smile, Shao Yunduan expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your assistance today, my dear wife."
Qiao Xuan playfully quipped, "Will there be a grand reward for the best assistant?"
"Indeed, a first-class reward!" Shao Yunduan affirmed with a grin.
Intrigued, Qiao Xuan's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she asked, "Really? What might that be?"
Shao Yunduan's smile deepened as he pulled her close, whispering into her ear, "Isn't the greatest reward to offer you the title of Lady of the Prefecture?"
"You—" Qiao Xuan burst into laughter, giving him a playful pinch. "Can I eat or sell this 'Lord of the Prefecture'? What value does it hold?"
