Chapter 1965: Three i Brothers Chapter 1965: Three i Brothers Editor: Henyee Translations “Lord, I implore you to grant my request!” Second Old Master Lu pleaded earnestly.
He subtly hinted at Lu Xianyun’s upbringing, emphasizing her education in etiquette, painting, and calligraphy since childhood.
Should she beco part of the Lu family, they would spare no expense on her dowry… Shao Yunduan found Second Old Master Lu’s words repugnant.
Maintaining his composure, he instructed soone to escort Second Old Master Lu out of the room.
The atmosphere within the Prefectural Governnt Office had changed.
Such brazenness and shalessness were no longer tolerated.
Despite his indignation, Second Old Master Lu refrained from causing a scene, his deanor darkening as he departed in disappointnt.
His resilience was noteworthy.
Though he left Shao Yunduan’s presence crestfallen, he regained his composure and dignity upon reaching the court’s entrance, appearing calm and refined once more.
It was as if he was having a great conversation with Lord Shao.
Those who didn’t know better would think that he was satisfied!
Second Old Master Lu did not go ho directly.
The carriage circled the streets and found a secluded alley with few people.
After making many turns, he quietly entered through the corner door at the back of the i residence.
The three Old Masters of the i Family were all at ho.
It seed like they were still waiting for him.
“How’s that?” “How is it?” Second Old Master Lu smiled bitterly… “What did you say?” Under the interrogation of the three brothers of the i Family, Second Old Master Lu recounted the process of eting Shao Yunduan in detail.
The more the three brothers of the i Family listened, the worse their expressions beca.
Second Old Master Lu, the serious second brother-in-law of the i Family, had always been a little afraid.
Moreover, the i Family was much stronger than the Lu Family.
Seeing this scene, they could not help but feel anxious and puzzled.
However, he did not dare to say anything, let alone ask.
“Lord Shao doesn’t like anything.
What does he want?” “Heh, you want soone like Madam Shao, right?
But I don’t think that Madam Shao is anything good.” “What do we do now?” The three brothers of the i Family were extrely depressed.
Second Old Master Lu observed the exchange, attempting a smile as he spoke, “Perhaps it’s best to put this matter behind us.
With Lord Shao’s clarification, I doubt anyone will dare to speak out.
Besides, there’s talk of compensation—” “What do you understand!” Third Old Master i interjected furiously.
Clarification?
Who needed clarification when they were eager for the rumors to gain traction!
And compensation?
What good would it do?
It wasn’t that they doubted Shao Yunduan’s sincerity, but they knew it wasn’t what they desired.
Second Old Master Lu remained silent, inwardly lanting.
Even before the Fan Family’s demise, the i Family stood at the forefront of the three prominent families in Anze Prefecture City.
Their prosperity in recent years had made them a towering presence akin to the sun in the sky.
What cause did they have for fear?
For Shao Yunduan to effectively govern Anze Prefecture and foster economic growth, he relied on the support of these prominent families.
With the Fan Family already eliminated, if Shao Yunduan were to unjustly harm the i Family, wouldn’t he worry about the repercussions from other influential families?
If the region were to destabilize, he, as the governing official, could forget about maintaining stability!
Surely, he wasn’t so foolish?
He struggled to comprehend their intentions.
