Chapter 1799: The Fan Family Wonât Go Chapter 1799: The Fan Family Wonât Go Editor: Henyee Translations This wouldnât suffice.
With the birth of Lord Shaoâs son, the Mei Family and the Huo Family had already paid their respects.
Numerous other esteemed families had followed suit.
It would be deemed improper for the Fan Family to abstain.
Refusing to attend would invite ridicule, painting them as petty and small-minded.
Both madams of the Fan family were irked by Mother-in-lawâs obstinacy and lack of decorum.
Yet, attempting to sway her would only result in further conflict, ensuring their own reluctance to attend.
Should they relent and attend, they would undoubtedly face reprimand.
As seasoned grandmothers, they harbored no inclination to endure such admonishment.
The two Old Masters of the Fan family found themselves powerless to influence their wives in this matter.
Laden with guilt and devoid of recourse, they resolved to act independently.
Their efforts, however, were swiftly met with their motherâs scathing reproach.
âWhat are you thinking?!
That Shao character harbors ill will toward our Fan family.
Despite our strained relations, he deigns to offer congratulations?
You two disappointments!
Will you present your other cheek after being slapped?â âYou two are utterly insufferable.
Even Yinâer shows more spine than you!
You bring disgrace upon our family!â âYou are forbidden from attending!
The Fan Family shall not stoop to such servility!â The two Old Masters endured the barrage of scolding, their chests tight, vision dimming.
Shame and resentment coursed through them, but they gritted their teeth and endured.
Such was the burden of filial obligation; were she not their mother by blood, fisticuffs might have ensued long agoĂąâŹÂŠ Yet, Fan Ruyinâs incendiary words only served to stoke the flames.
âElder Brother, Second Brother, itâs plain to see that Lord Shao is exploiting our familyâs position.
If we extend further courtesies, we only diminish our dignity and embolden his arrogance.
Donât blame me for my ire.â âIf you have the time to dwell on this, why not devise a strategy to address Lord Shao and curb his arrogance?
That would be in the best interest of the Fan family!â These words held undeniable truth.
Resolving this matter amicably was imperative to mitigate the Fan familyâs losses.
Yet, upon hearing Fan Ruyinâs admonition, the two Old Masters of the Fan family felt an overwhelming sense of revulsion.
For the 108th time, they lamented their decision to allow this woman into their family.
Why hadnât they married her off instead?
Regret consumed them!
Consequently, the entire city became aware that the Fan family abstained from presenting gifts to Lord Shao.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan remained indifferent.
The absence of the Fan Family was a relief, sparing them any concern.
On the day of the babyâs birth, Shao Yunduan dispatched messengers to spread the joyful news to Yuzhang.
The Yuezheng Family expressed their happiness upon hearing the news and relayed it to Shaoding Village.
Despite her son, daughter-in-law, and grandsonâs absence, Ms.
Fang radiated joy in the village.
She paid respects to their ancestors and planned several small banquets to honor the Land Officer, village elders, and those close to them.
Furthermore, she requested the Yuezheng Family to deliver clothing, shoes, socks, swaddling clothes, longevity locks, gold bracelets, red dates, and cubilose for the expectant mother.
Ms.
Fang also gifted Qiao Xuan five hundred taels of silver, a gesture of respect despite knowing she lacked nothing.
Ms.
Yan and Mei Qing, considerate as ever, prepared gifts for each family member, entrusting the Fan family to deliver them accordingly.
