Chapter 1908: Chaos Chapter 1908: Chaos Editor: Henyee Translations “The true culprit has never been Elder Brother!
Both Elder Brother and I have forgiven you, yet you still insist on blaming him!” “And if those nefarious individuals remain in our midst, can you guarantee they won’t cause trouble?
Can you assure us you can handle them?
I fear you wouldn’t even survive the current ordeal, let alone any future ones!” “Furthermore, if it weren’t for the noble act of exposing our wrongdoing, our future would have been bleak indeed.
We’d be dood beyond redemption!
Those mountain bandits wouldn’t spare us even if they escaped.
They’d cling to us like a malignant growth, tornting our Fan family endlessly!” “No secret can remain hidden forever.
Sooner or later, the authorities will uncover the truth.
And when they do, neither the mountain bandits nor the Fan family will escape unscathed.” “Since you invited the danger into our ho, the only path to peace and salvation for our Fan family is through repentance.
Do you grasp that?” “Even if we face consequences from the governnt, at worst, we’ll have to leave our hotown and abandon Anze Province!
We still possess so assets.
We won’t perish, but we could lead comfortable lives!
But if we continue associating with those mountain bandits and seeking their aid, they’ll surely be our undoing sooner or later!” “And who brought all of this upon us?
Yet you still have the audacity to bla Elder Brother!” Fan Ruyin found herself unable to prevail against him.
Frustrated and angry, she burst into tears, feeling unfairly criticized and unappreciated.
She insisted that she acted in the best interests of the Fan family.
As her tears flowed, she recounted how she had been mistreated by her brothers when their mother was ill.
Determined to confide in her mother, Fan Ruyin’s resolve wavered montarily.
However, First Old Master Fan erupted in fury, warning her sternly, “Mother is already ill.
If you have any conscience left, do not upset her further.
If you dare to provoke her again, I will not spare you!
You can try !” Fan Ruyin trembled with anger but ultimately relented under First Old Master Fan’s stern gaze, refraining from any rash actions.
The Fan family, like a timid and fearful chicken, withdrew into themselves, living in perpetual anxiety.
Scribe Guan and Mrs.
Guan also suffered, haunted by the fear of retaliation from the Min Family Tribe or Liuhe Fort.
While Shao Yunduan was aware of their transgressions, he chose not to address them yet, biding his ti.
With the evidence he possessed, Shao Yunduan could apprehend Scribe Guan at any mont.
He had kept him under surveillance, waiting to see if any bandits would co looking for him, providing an opportunity to apprehend them as well.
If Scribe Guan displayed the sa decisiveness as First Old Master Fan and confessed to Shao Yunduan, he might secure a chance to evade imprisonnt.
However, he would still face fines and be barred from serving as a scribe, but at least he wouldn’t be incarcerated.
Regrettably, Scribe Guan lacked such resolve.
He clung to a glimr of hope and instructed Mrs.
Guan to frequent Qiao Xuan’s presence, hoping to glean information.
If anyone approached the mountain, he could relay the news.
However, Mrs.
Guan found herself unable to maintain her air of superiority.
She wished to forge a friendship with Qiao Xuan, foreseeing potential benefits in tis of trouble.
Despite their well-laid plans, Qiao Xuan was uncooperative.
Mrs.
Guan couldn’t even gain access to the back office.
