Chapter 1871: Apologize and Treatnt Chapter 1871: Apologize and Treatnt Editor: Henyee Translations Now was the ti for strict vigilance, raising their guard to the utmost level.
They couldn’t afford to let their defenses waver in the slightest.
Shao Yunduan was adamant about safeguarding his wife.
Having tasted the anguish of almost losing her once, he refused to endure it again.
“I don’t trust the Fan Family’s intentions.
Let’s not be swayed.
Bright Moon Villa can wait.
We’ll go wherever you wish after we’ve dealt with the bandits,” he declared, a smile on his lips.
Inwardly, Qiao Xuan sighed.
She yearned to accept the invitation!
Even her husband’s caution couldn’t deter this opportunity that had presented itself… On the day of the Giant Rock Gorge incident, she had fervently wished to go.
Disguised, who would recognize her as the Prefect’s wife?
With her presence, victory would have been assured, and none of the enemy would have escaped.
No one would slip through her grasp!
But she couldn’t risk it.
As the Prefect’s wife, venturing to such places was out of the question.
Thus, she could only await news anxiously in the governnt office alongside Shao Yunduan, who shared her apprehension.
Thankfully, her hopes weren’t dashed… Yet, this ti, an opportunity had presented itself directly to Shao Yunduan’s doorstep.
Naturally, he felt compelled to seize it!
Qiao Xuan tugged at Shao Yunduan’s sleeves, pleading, “Husband, please let go!
I can have Ah-Ye accompany us with so n.
Those mountain bandits won’t stand a chance if they dare to show themselves!
And with prisoners in the state office’s jail, they wouldn’t dare to make a move!” “Co on, let’s see if the Fan family is human or ghost…” Shao Yunduan’s brow furrowed.
“No!
It’s too perilous!
There’s undoubtedly sothing amiss with the Fan Family’s invitation.
Stop insisting.
I won’t allow you to take such a risk.” Shao Yunduan couldn’t shake the feeling that the Fan Family’s invitation harbored ulterior motives.
Shao Yunduan couldn’t afford to believe that the Fan Family’s intentions were purely benevolent.
In a place like Anze Province, trusting all the prominent families was a risk he couldn’t take.
Anyone could have been in league with the mountain bandits, driven by coercion or fear of past grievances resurfacing… Qiao Xuan longed to confide in him about her unique abilities, but she held back.
The prospect was too daunting.
She didn’t want her husband to view her differently from now on.
Despite Qiao Xuan’s pleading and various attempts to sway him, Shao Yunduan remained steadfast in his refusal to let her go.
Disappointnt and discontent clouded Qiao Xuan’s expression… Shao Yunduan, torn between amusent and frustration, embraced her tenderly, attempting to console her.
“Darling, I promise to accompany you on a trip next spring, when the Centaurea blossoms and the landscapes are resplendent.
Isn’t that scenery more enticing?
I’ve already devised a plan to apprehend the remaining mountain bandits before the new year.
They won’t linger until then!
Just be patient…” Qiao Xuan was at a loss for words.
Was her disappointnt solely due to missing out on the scenery?
It wasn’t rely about that, though she did enjoy venturing into the mountains in search of treasures and ga.
It was sothing more profound… She yearned to share his burdens and actively contribute to significant endeavors… It felt like an imnse waste to sideline her talents!
Shao Yunduan had confidence in Ah-Ye’s prowess.
With a handful of skilled followers and in the Fan family’s territory, he doubted the Fan family would openly collude with the mountain bandits.
With proper precautions, he believed nothing would go amiss.
