Chapter 1745: Zhao Shu Is Here Chapter 1745: Zhao Shu Is Here Editor: Henyee Translations In reality, they likely lacked the courage to do so.
Crossing the Prefect Lord would undoubtedly lead to unfavorable consequences.
Deputy Prefect Guan remained silent, not uttering a word on their behalf.
It wasn’t that he had no desire to speak up; rather, he found himself incapable of doing so.
What words could he offer?
Shao Yunduan had no intention of granting him any reprieve, only seizing the chance to taunt him.
To onlookers, Deputy Prefect Guan appeared heartless and cold-hearted.
Despite the personal motivations of Scribe Hu and the others, many had earnestly supported Deputy Prefect Guan.
Now, facing punishnt, he didn’t lift a finger in their defense.
The scribes who initially sought favor with Deputy Prefect Guan recalibrated their plans upon witnessing this unfolding drama.
The spectacle that had spanned several days finally reached its conclusion, promising a newfound quietness.
This was Shao Yunduan’s primary concern.
As his wife’s pregnancy progressed, Shao Yunduan wished for a serene period before the birth.
A few days post-Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Shu, accompanied by Uncle Qing, Aunt Qing, and others, arrived in Anze Province.
Coming from Shaoding Village, Zhao Shu exuded confidence as he knocked on the back office’s door in Anze Province.
While Shao Yunduan maintained an outward calm, he could sense his brother-in-law’s deep concern for the Shao Family.
The urgency to glean information about the family lingered palpably.
Qiao Xuan, devoid of any pretense, warmly welcod Zhao Shu, treating him not only as family but also as a cherished friend.
Zhao Shu was elated, going out of his way to be attentive and pleasing towards Qiao Xuan.
While not inherently scheming, he recognized that winning Madam Shao’s favor would pave an easier path to communicate with Lord Shao.
Preemptively, before any inquiries, Zhao Shu shared updates on the Shao Family’s situation and handed over a letter from the family’s first section.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, after reading the letter, found reassurance in the knowledge that all was well back ho.
Ms.
Fang’s joy upon learning of Qiao Xuan’s pregnancy prompted her to seek blessings at the temple.
The letter emphasized Shao Yunduan’s responsibility in caring for Qiao Xuan during her pregnancy.
Expressing familial concern, the letter urged them to prioritize their well-being, emphasizing that nothing outweighed the importance of their lives.
In case of any adversity, they were instructed to prioritize their safety.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged perplexed glances.
The letter Yuezheng Xiao brought back made no ntion of Anze Province.
Given the distance, it seed implausible that their families could be aware of the situation there.
Yuezheng Xiao was known for his reserved nature.
Shao Yunduan turned to Zhao Shu, questioning, “How does our family know about Anze Province?
How did they find out?” Annoyance crept into Zhao Shu’s tone, “Elder Brother Shao, Sister-in-law, it wasn’t .
I swear, Uncle Qing, Aunt Qing, and Brother Yuezheng, none of them spilled a word.
It’s all Shao Liulang!
Only he has a loose tongue, only he understands…” Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan shared their frustration, muttering, “Him again!” As a Cultivated Talent, Shao Liulang’s expanded social circle likely contributed to his newfound connections.
Being cousins, he and Shao Yunduan were perceived as amicable, making him a likely source of information for outsiders.
