Qiao Xuan's smile was warm as she replied, "Indeed, we're family. As long as you continue to treat Taotao well, that's all that matters to us."
Shao Yunduan nodded in agreement. "Absolutely."
Zhao Shu's response was immediate and earnest. "I'll always cherish Taotao and never let her down. If I ever do, you both have every right to hold me accountable!"
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but chuckle at his earnestness.
Taotao, feeling a bit embarrassed by the attention, whispered, "Please, don't say things like that!"
If only he could rein in his tendency to speak so freely!
With Zhao Shu and Taotao present, Shao Yunduan promptly dispatched men to summon Yuezheng Xiao from Yuzhang province to discuss matters regarding food supplies.
Yuezheng Xiao's arrival was swift, and the three parties engaged in discussions. Zhao Shu readily agreed to any decisions made by Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, demonstrating his trust and support without hesitation.
