Chapter 1853

Chapter 1853: Berating Chapter 1853: Berating Editor: Henyee Translations It remained unchanged.

Realizing she couldn’t gain an upper hand and would only face humiliation, Fan Ruyin promptly resigned, shirking her responsibilities.

“…Madam Shao, if you’re dissatisfied, feel free to take it up with our family!

As the wife of the Prefect, who could dare to oppose you?

Moreover, your eloquence is unmatched.” With those words, Fan Ruyin turned on her heels and stormed off.

The two madams of the Fan family exchanged glances, their faces draining of color, their expressions contorting into a mixture of rage and disgust.

Their sister-in-law’s penchant for stirring up trouble had resurfaced once more, leaving them to deal with the aftermath.

Dealing with other matters was one thing; after all, there was hardly anything in Anze Province that the Fan family couldn’t handle.

But tangling with the Prefect’s wife?

That was an entirely different matter.

“Madam Shao—” “The Fan family undeniably holds great influence in Anze Province.

Their power is unquestionable!

As the wife of the Prefect, I am but a mere outsider in your esteemed family.” With a disdainful sneer, Qiao Xuan rose from her seat and exited alongside Mrs.

Jia.

Mrs.

Jia’s expression mirrored her dissatisfaction.

The Fan Family had overstepped their bounds.

While it was common knowledge that the three major families were domineering, Mrs.

Jia had never experienced it firsthand until now, leaving her thoroughly disheartened.

“Madam Shao, please, wait,” First Madam Fan interjected, attempting to defuse the tension with a smile.

But Qiao Xuan cut her off sharply, pointing an accusatory finger.

“Silence!

How dare you impede me?

You think I’m easy prey?

Your family’s insolence towards me is intolerable.

You can’t manage your own kin, yet you seek to control me?

First Madam Fan, your motives are transparent!” “I-I didn’t mean—” “Then step aside!

Or face the consequences!” Qiao Xuan’s threat hung in the air as she and Mrs.

Jia departed, leaving First Madam Fan and her sister-in-law stunned.

A heavy silence enveloped the room as everyone exchanged uneasy glances.

They had learned their lesson.

The Prefect and his wife were not to be trifled with.

The atmosphere in Anze Prefecture had shifted, and everyone realized they needed to tread carefully to avoid trouble.

At least until the Prefect’s tenure came to an end… Meanwhile, Mrs.

Guan couldn’t contain her delight.

The gleam in her eyes and the curve of her lips betrayed her satisfaction.

She secretly hoped for discord between the Fan Family and Qiao Xuan, envisioning potential alliances in her favor.

They might even succeed in enlisting the Mei Family and the Huo Family, leveraging their connections and familial ties.

Unless Lord Shao wished to stir up trouble in Anze Province, he would surely reconsider his stance.

As Mrs.

Guan entertained these thoughts, she felt a surge of satisfaction.

She even entertained the possibility of her Old Master reclaiming the position of Deputy Prefect… But when First Madam Fan caught sight of the smug expression on Mrs.

Guan’s face, she felt a twinge of irritation, as though she had swallowed a fly.

She clenched her teeth, cursing silently.

If only she hadn’t caused such a commotion, things wouldn’t have spiraled out of control like this.

First Madam Fan couldn’t tolerate Mrs.

Guan’s gloating any longer, so she sighed and addressed her.

“I didn’t anticipate things unfolding like this.

You’ll need to take care of your bracelet.” Mrs.

Guan’s smile faltered, her heart sinking.

400 taels of silver!

That was no small sum!

Forced to maintain her composure, she responded, “Thank you for the reminder, First Madam Fan.

I cannot bear this loss alone.

I must seek compensation from someone!”
