Chapter 1889: First-class Reward Chapter 1889: First-class Reward Editor: Henyee Translations They continued their conversation as they entered the room, and Qiao Xuan’s spirits were lifted by the news.

With a smile, she remarked, “Excellent!

We can apprehend as many of those troublemakers as we please, and they’re likely to be quite significant individuals.” Returning her smile, Shao Yunduan expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you for your assistance today, my dear wife.” Qiao Xuan playfully quipped, “Will there be a grand reward for the best assistant?” “Indeed, a first-class reward!” Shao Yunduan affirmed with a grin.

Intrigued, Qiao Xuan’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as she asked, “Really?

What might that be?” Shao Yunduan’s smile deepened as he pulled her close, whispering into her ear, “Isn’t the greatest reward to offer you the title of Lady of the Prefecture?” “You—” Qiao Xuan burst into laughter, giving him a playful pinch.

“Can I eat or sell this ‘Lord of the Prefecture’?

What value does it hold?” Shao Yunduan chuckled, replying, “It’s for consumption, not trade!” Qiao Xuan’s excitement grew.

“You… I refuse to converse with you further!” Playfully pushing him away, she declared, “I’m off to see Anan!” The audacity of that man was truly astounding, becoming increasingly shameless by the day.

Fan Ruyin couldn’t bear it any longer.

She decided it was time to see her son, whom she had missed dearly throughout the day.

Shao Yunduan followed her, accompanying her to their son’s side.

Their little boy had grown remarkably since birth, his chubby cheeks flushed, and his bright eyes twinkling with joy upon seeing his parents.

He kicked his tiny feet enthusiastically, waved his delicate hands, and babbled happily.

His innocence and charm were utterly irresistible.

In comparison to dealing with a certain man, her son was undoubtedly a much more delightful companion… As Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan enjoyed their time together, Fan Ruyin’s anxiety only grew, her thoughts consumed by the situation at the Fan Family.

Feeling a sense of unease creeping over her, she glanced up to see the sky darkening.

Her expression shifted, and she abruptly rose from her seat, intending to visit Old Lady Fan’s courtyard.

That night, she couldn’t bear the thought of sleeping alone.

She yearned for the company of her mother and decided to seek solace in her presence.

However, after taking only a few steps, she halted abruptly.

Fan Ruyin realized that seeking refuge with her mother was merely a temporary solution, not a permanent one.

Even if she managed to escape for one night, it wouldn’t solve the underlying problem.

It was impractical to rely on her mother’s company every single night.

Moreover, aggravating the situation further would only lead to more harm than good.

Her frustration boiled over, and she slammed her palm down on the table in frustration.

Anger and resentment surged within her, fueled by a sense of helplessness.

Madam Shao’s refusal to venture to the back of the mountain only intensified Fan Ruyin’s feelings of injustice.

If only she had insisted on bringing her there, perhaps the outcome would have been different.

However, dwelling on what could have been was futile now.

Throughout the night, Fan Ruyin was plagued by anxiety.

She couldn’t bring herself to close her eyes, fearing any sign of movement outside might signal danger.

Every rustle made her heart race with apprehension, only to find it was a false alarm.

Eventually, exhaustion overcame her, and she drifted into a fitful sleep, her troubled mind finally finding some respite.

Fan Ruyin’s night was plagued by restlessness.

Every little noise made her alert, preventing her from getting any decent sleep.

Just as she felt herself drifting off, she would jolt awake, her senses on high alert.

Upon waking up, she felt a surge of nervousness, expecting something to have happened during the night.

Yet, to her surprise, everything seemed normal.

As the dawn broke, Fan Ruyin couldn’t help but feel incredulous.

Had the night truly passed without incident?

It felt surreal, like a dream.

However, amidst her relief, a deeper sense of anxiety gnawed at her.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that the mountain bandits wouldn’t simply let her off the hook.

Just because nothing happened last night didn’t mean she was in the clear.

The looming threat remained, tormenting her with the knowledge that as long as she refused to comply, the danger would persist.
