Chapter 1845: Madam Shao’s Offer Chapter 1845: Madam Shao’s Offer Editor: Henyee Translations She raised her hand threateningly towards Mrs.

Jia, who instinctively recoiled.

Amused by Mrs.

Jia’s reaction, Mrs.

Guan chuckled derisively.

“You’re unworthy of being the Deputy Prefect’s wife!

What significance do you hold?

You’re nothing in my eyes!” Mrs.

Jia retorted, her voice trembling, “I may be insignificant, I’m aware of that, but I am still the Deputy Prefect’s wife.

You should show me some respect, or else—” “Or else what!” Mrs.

Guan’s fury boiled over as she fixed Mrs.

Jia with a steely glare.

“What can you possibly do?

Are you threatening me?” Mrs.

Guan found the situation ludicrous and demeaning.

How dare Mrs.

Jia assert dominance in her presence?

Drawing courage from Madam Shao’s support, Mrs.

Guan remained undeterred.

Mrs.

Jia’s heart raced, her legs feeling like jelly.

“M-my… My husband is now the Deputy Prefect.

If you continue like this, I will report your behavior to him!” “Why wouldn’t you?

Heh, I have every confidence in your loyalty!” Mrs.

Guan sneered contemptuously.

“I won’t forget how your husband climbed the ranks, even if you choose to overlook it!

Heh, a man who betrays and schemes for his own advancement is nothing but a tool!

Do you truly believe Lord Shao would condone such treachery?

He’s merely a pawn in Lord Shao’s game!

Mark my words, when he’s no longer useful, he’ll be discarded like trash by those he once served!” “What else do you expect?

What authority does that haughty Prefect’s wife possess to shield you?

Ha!

Do you truly believe she acts out of benevolence and affection towards you?

How naive!” Mrs.

Jia, unable to stomach such slander, felt her face flush with anger.

“Cease your baseless accusations!

Madam Shao is not the person you portray her to be!

Anyone with eyes can see that since their arrival in Anze Province, Madam Shao and Lord Shao have conducted themselves with transparency and integrity.

It’s those accustomed to exploiting others who now resent their loss of opportunity.

This is not the fault of Lord Shao and Madam Shao!

They’re working to rectify the situation!” “You!” “…Furthermore, my husband did not betray or frame Old Master Guan.

Unless Mrs.

Guan can provide evidence, it would be wise to refrain from spreading unfounded rumors.

What will you do if an investigation is launched?” Mrs.

Jia believed she was offering a gentle reminder, but Mrs.

Guan interpreted it as a threat!

The former meek woman, who once cowered in his presence, now revealed a sharp and resolute side.

She dared to insult her.

Mrs.

Guan felt herself on the verge of losing control!

Indeed, power wielded its influence, emboldening individuals to act more assertively.

Mrs.

Guan couldn’t stand the sight of Mrs.

Jia’s countenance.

She yearned to deliver a resounding slap, reducing her to her knees, begging for clemency.

Yet, she retained a semblance of rationality.

While she entertained such thoughts, she knew better than to act upon them.

Today’s gathering boasted a sizable audience.

If she, the wife of a mere scribe, were to strike the Deputy Prefect’s wife, she’d become a laughingstock, perceived as a sore loser.

As for Madam Shao, she possessed leverage, undoubtedly poised to exploit it for maximum effect…
