Chapter 1830: Letâs Go Together Chapter 1830: Letâs Go Together Editor: Henyee Translations âIf youâre unwilling to retrieve them, then so be it.
Why donât we all go to the government office and stay together with them!
Sister-in-law, Iâll have to rely on you to manage the household!â Both families harbored resentment towards this woman who married into the family, yet received preferential treatment from the old lady.
She seemed more like a true member of the Fan Family than they did.
Fan Ruyin felt slighted by the implication but chose to remain silent, attributing it to envy.
She offered only a cold smile in response.
First Madam Fan said nothing further, leading her family to depart.
Second Mrs.
Fan swiftly followed suit, declaring, âSister-in-law, weâll accompany you.
Letâs go together!â âVery well!â âHow dare you!â Old Lady Fan erupted in fury, slamming her hand on the tea table.
âAre you both plotting rebellion?â Second Mrs.
Fan defended, âMother, why canât we stand together as a family in times of trouble?
It may alleviate some of Old Masterâs embarrassment.
At the very least, we can share in the burden.â First Madam Fan remained silent, though she silently concurred with the sentiment.
Old Lady Fan glared at them, her gaze sharp with indignation.
She sensed their determination.
Furious, Old Lady Fan staggered backward.
They were all in open rebellion!
But she couldnât possibly allow them to proceed.
It would be a complete loss of face for the Fan family.
âIf youâre so concerned about losing face, then leave!â Old Lady Fan barked furiously.
With a scornful sneer, she declared, âIâll go myself.
Letâs see if that Lord Prefect dares to detain me too!â First Madam Fan and Second Mrs.
Fan exchanged a knowing glance and nodded in agreement.
They didnât want to relinquish the silver without a fight, but the humiliation was unbearable!
Would Lord Shao even deign to speak reasonably?
Would he negotiate with them?
He had already subjected them to such humiliation; it was intolerable!
If Old Lady Fan personally intervened, Lord Shao wouldnât dare risk the responsibility if she fell ill or suffered any discomfort while in the office.
He wouldnât dare allow such a scenario to unfold.
Old Lady Fanâs heart skipped a beat as she considered the proposal.
It struck her as a brilliant idea.
Of course, she wanted to accompany her two daughters-in-law.
If she didnât assert her authority now, when would she?!
âPrepare the carriage.
Iâll leave immediately!â However, she deemed it unnecessary for her daughters-in-law to accompany her.
As the matriarch of the Fan family, she needed to retain some semblance of dignity.
Unlike them, she couldnât afford to compromise her standing.
Before they could act, the housekeeper rushed in.
âOld Lady Fan, First Madam, Second Mrs.
Fan, Mrs.
Bai, Madam Shao has arrivedĂąâŹÂŠâ âWhat?!â Everyone was taken aback.
Fan Ruyin sneered.
âWhat audacity!
What is she doing here!â When the Prefectâs wife paid a visit, none dared to refuse her.
Old Lady Fan instructed the juniors to depart, leaving only her two daughters-in-law and Fan Ruyin.
She sneered, âVery well, letâs see what she has to say.
Bring her in!â The women of the Fan family awaited her arrival with simmering resentment.
Qiao Xuan ushered Lixia and Caiyue into the room, while Ah-Ye stood guard outside the door.
Typically, male servants werenât permitted in the backyard.
But Ah-Yeâs intimidating glare dared anyone to challenge him.
First Madam Fan and Second Mrs.
Fan rose to greet Qiao Xuan, mindful that their husbands were still detained.
Fan Ruyin shot a disdainful glance at Qiao Xuan, her lips curling into a sneer.
Old Lady Fan, asserting her seniority, remained seated, unwilling to welcome her.
