Chapter 1851: Reprimand Chapter 1851: Reprimand Editor: Henyee Translations “Aiya, please reconsider!” First Madam Fan and Second Mrs.

Fan couldn’t bear to see Qiao Xuan walk away like this.

With so many eyes upon them, Fan Ruyin’s refusal to apologize only worsened matters.

If Madam Shao sought retribution, it could spell trouble for their family.

“Sister, a sincere apology is in order.” “We acknowledge our mistake.

Madam Shao, we implore you to grant the Fan family a chance to make amends.” “Please, show mercy, Madam Shao.” The two madams of the Fan family were visibly distressed.

With every plea for leniency, they cast pleading glances at Fan Ruyin, silently urging her to make amends swiftly.

Fan Ruyin clenched her fists, her face flushing with embarrassment and frustration.

She’d never felt so humiliated.

Apologizing was not in her nature, especially not in front of such a crowd.

But she understood the necessity of swallowing her pride in this moment to spare her family from further disgrace.

Madam Shao was notoriously vindictive, and provoking her further would only invite disaster.

As she prepared to swallow her pride and issue an apology, Mrs.

Guan, who had remained silent until now, interjected, “Madam Shao, let’s not escalate this any further.

You’re well aware of your influence; there’s no need to assert dominance at every turn.

This is about a bracelet, isn’t it?

Dragging innocent parties like Mrs.

Bai into this only complicates matters.

Are you attempting to manipulate the situation to your advantage, perhaps implicating Mrs.

Jia?

It’s a cunning move, I must admit.

Your strategic acumen is truly remarkable!” Fan Ruyin adamantly refused to apologize to Qiao Xuan.

Instead, her eyes flashed with defiance as she retorted, “I agree!

We’ve yet to unravel the mystery of the bracelet!

Are you just going to ignore it?” “Enough!” Qiao Xuan’s voice cut through the tension.

“Your disrespect towards me won’t go unnoticed.

With all these witnesses, are you attempting to deceive or manipulate the truth?

I may not hold much sway, but I won’t be bullied so easily.

Today’s events demand seriousness; my position as the Prefect’s wife is at stake.” Turning his gaze to Mrs.

Guan, Qiao Xuan’s tone turned icy.

“And you!

Your peculiar manner of speaking betrays your arrogance.

I find Mrs.

Jia far more reliable than you.

Why the rush?

We must delve deeper into your intentions.

If you doubt our Lord’s judgment, feel free to appeal to the higher court, unimpeded.” “Why the hesitation?

It’s intriguing.

You seem eager to dismiss this without evidence or witnesses.

Your status should remind you to act with restraint.

If you dare to display such rudeness and arrogance again, you’ll find it insufficient.” Mrs.

Guan flushed with indignation.

“You—” “It’s not your place to speak in my presence.

Keep silent and step aside!

Your time will come,” Qiao Xuan interjected sharply.

“Any further utterance from you will result in the same treatment!” Furious, ashamed, and seething with anger, Mrs.

Guan trembled slightly.

But she dared not voice another word.

If even Fan Ruyin could be struck, she stood no chance.

To face such humiliation would be futile.

A sudden realization struck her—hadn’t she once wielded arrogance and dominance just as flagrantly?
