Chapter 1805

Chapter 1805: Plot Chapter 1805: Plot Editor: Henyee Translations Jia Heming was not surprised that he was rejected again.

Upon his return to the government office, Jia Heming informed Zheng Sangge that if the Fan family persisted in their refusal to cooperate, he would enlist Sangge’s assistance along with a few others for official matters the following day.

He lamented that without their cooperation, resolving the matter seemed as improbable as a cold day in hell.

The Fan family’s obstinate attitude proved to be a formidable obstacle, hindering progress at every turn.

Deputy Prefect Guan remained indifferent, content to engage in fruitless discussions and endless dialogue without taking decisive action.

Yet, Jia Heming remained undeterred, resolved to adhere to Lord Shao’s directives.

However, he never anticipated the ambush awaiting him on his journey back from the government office.

As he gradually regained consciousness, the moon hung high in the sky, its pale glow casting an eerie light.

The stifling humidity of midsummer lingered, suffocating and oppressive in the still night air.

Every movement sent waves of agony coursing through his body, from his head to his arms and legs.

As he gingerly touched a tender spot at the corner of his mouth, the broken and scabbed skin elicited a sharp pain.

Surveying the desolate alley where he lay, a sense of foreboding washed over him.

Despite the pain wracking his body, he struggled to his feet and staggered back towards the Prefect’s office… Meanwhile, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, new parents adjusting to the demands of their infant, sought much-needed rest.

Even with the assistance of nannies and maids, the newborn’s cries demanded Qiao Xuan’s maternal attention.

Anan proved to be quite proficient in crying and throwing tantrums, demonstrating a remarkable clinginess that saw her bursting into tears the moment she woke, seeking solace only from Qiao Xuan.

Despite the efforts of the nanny, she adamantly refused to drink milk from anyone but her mother and required feeding three times throughout the night.

As a result, the nanny and maids primarily assisted with basic tasks such as changing diapers, adjusting bedding, and entertaining Anan when she was awake.

Qiao Xuan briefly contemplated allowing Anan to cry it out and rely on the servants for comfort, but her maternal instincts won out each time, unable to bear her child’s distress.

Ultimately, Qiao Xuan resigned herself to the situation, recognizing that Anan’s preference for her was due to their biological bond.

Despite the challenges, she found solace in the assistance of household staff and occasional support from her husband.

It wasn’t that Qiao Xuan hadn’t considered letting Anan cry and allowing the nanny and maids to tend to him.

Perhaps he would grow accustomed to it with time.

But she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Anan would start crying pitifully, and within moments, Qiao Xuan’s heart would melt with sympathy once more.

In the end, she decided to let things be.

Her baby was drawn to her because she was his biological mother.

Why should she force herself to appear as a distant stepmother?

With a servant to assist her, she was spared the burden of household chores.

Her husband’s occasional help and companionship were enough for her to manage.

That was sufficient for Qiao Xuan.

The first stretch of Anan’s nightly slumber was typically the most peaceful and longest, offering Qiao Xuan a precious window for rest after her demanding days.

However, even in her exhausted state, Qiao Xuan often found herself roused from sleep, unable to fully indulge in intimacy with her husband as fatigue overtook her.

Now, just as she had managed to drift off, Lixia’s hesitant voice pierced the silence of the tent.

“…Constable Sun Bai mentioned that Scribe Jia is here.

He’s badly injured, Lord.

You…” Shao Yunduan’s demeanor shifted immediately.

“I’ll go see him.” Upon hearing this, Qiao Xuan’s mind snapped back to awareness.

“Could the Fan Family be behind Jia’s attack?” she inquired, her concern evident.
