Chapter 1804: They Are Done Chapter 1804: They Are Done Editor: Henyee Translations This was a common occurrence.
As the saying goes, “a new emperor brings new ministers.” Who could fault Lord Shao for strategically placing his own allies within the governnt office?
Such tactics were par for the course.
However… what caught them off guard was the outco of the clashes between Lord Shao and Deputy Prefect Guan.
Despite Deputy Prefect Guan’s efforts to assert his authority, both openly and covertly, he found himself outmaneuvered ti and again by Lord Shao, suffering significant setbacks in the process.
The bitterness welled up within the two brothers.
Would seeking assistance from Deputy Prefect Guan truly yield any results?
They couldn’t afford to risk everything and co back empty-handed!
Reflecting on the rumors they had heard about Shao Yunduan’s imnse wealth and his victories over the Tiger Head Tribe, the Fan brothers decided to reassess their approach.
Their astute business instincts warned them that this venture held little promise.
If this trend persisted, it could spell the end… Truly, Lord Shao defied the mold of any previous Prefect Lord… While they were not yet won over by him, why did the Fan family feel compelled to stand out?
Wouldn’t it be wiser to bide their ti, waiting for an opportune mont to capitalize on the situation?
After deliberation, the brothers briefed Old Lady Fan on their conclusions.
But Old Lady Fan dismissed their findings, berating them once more.
She even suggested that if they were unwilling to exert themselves for the sake of the Fan family, they should personally compensate for the losses each year from their own pockets!
Incensed, the two elder Fan masters grappled with conflicting emotions.
Why should they foot the bill while benefiting another family?
Feeling a mix of disappointnt and indignation, they resolved to reach out to Deputy Prefect Guan themselves.
What harm could a few attempts do?
Why not take the chance!
Old Lady Fan seethed with fury.
Coincidentally, Jia Heming made his third visit of the day, requesting the Fan family’s cooperation with the field and land investigation.
Jia Heming’s deanor this ti was notably stern.
Ard with docunts from Shao Yunduan, he handed them over to the Fan Family’s Butler.
His resolute stance made it clear that he intended to comnce comparing docunts the following morning, scrutinizing discrepancies.
Should the Fan family refuse to cooperate, he warned, bailiffs would be compelled to enter the premises.
Old Lady Fan’s anger surged.
She ordered the gatekeeper to eject Jia Heming from the premises.
After all, Lord Shao held the position of Prefect.
While she might be powerless against him, she couldn’t tolerate such insolence from a re underling!
The Fan Clan hadn’t sunk so low as to endure such disrespect!
Fan Ruyin shared in her grandmother’s indignation.
With a disdainful smirk, she remarked, “Using a chicken feather as an arrow, indeed.
Just a lowly scribe.
In the days of the previous Lord Prefect, even such a minor functionary would bow respectfully in our presence.
This is utterly preposterous!
If he wishes to play the ga of arrogance, let him revel in it for a lifeti!
Those who lack foresight will inevitably et their downfall!” Old Lady Fan’s disgust only grew.
“Who does this Jia think he is?
How dare he flaunt his authority before the Fan Family!
If we fail to reprimand him, he’ll remain oblivious to the boundaries of respect.
He must learn the consequences of his impertinence!” “Mother always knows best!” Fan Ruyin’s eyes glead with determination.
“I’ll handle it imdiately!” “See to it discreetly, and ensure our family’s hands remain clean.” “You can count on , Mom!”
