Guan In Chapter 1892: Bringing Mrs.
Guan In Editor: Henyee Translations Not only was she suspicious now, but she had been suspicious all along!
Wasnât the incident at Qingsong Monastery evidence enough?
Ha, that wife of the dog official was certainly audacious.
Despite knowing the risk, she dared to venture forthââŹÂŚ Perhaps her standing in the officialâs esteem wasnât as high as assumed.
The second-in-command declared, âSeek out Deputy Prefect Guanâs wife and devise a plan to ensnare her alongside you!â Fan Ruyin was caught off guard.
With a sneer, the second-in-command taunted, âUnwilling?
If not, then swiftly concoct a scheme to lure the dog officialâs wife out of the city!â âI am willing, truly!â Fan Ruyin desired to avoid further entanglement with Qiao Xuan.
She asserted without hesitation, âMrs.
Guan harbors immense disdain for that foolish couple; sheâll undoubtedly assist us.â The second-in-command remained silent.
Whether she was willing or not might not be within her control.
âYouâll meet with her tomorrow.â âUnderstoodââŹÂŚâ âRemember, you must go!
You must convince her, or else, hmph!â With a sneer, the second-in-command forcibly led away the scowling leader of the Tiger Head Tribe.
Fan Ruyin slumped against the headboard, her body trembling as she struggled to catch her breath.
After some time, she regained her composure, though her spirit remained drained.
The weight of regret fueled her anger, intensifying her desire for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan to face consequences.
Their failure to do so would only deepen her disappointment.
Every passing day felt interminable, pushing her to the brink of collapseââŹÂŚ It was yet another night of sleeplessness.
The following morning, Fan Ruyin awoke with dark circles under her eyes, her mind clouded and energy depleted.
Reluctant to present herself in such a state, she adorned her hair with Life Pinglan, the golden hairpins and colorful silk flowers adding a semblance of vitality.
Her face was concealed beneath a heavy layer of makeup.
Surveying her appearance, she found solace in her semblance of beauty, resigning herself to the task at hand.
Mrs.
Guan harbored resentment, her disdain for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan palpable.
To Fan Ruyinâs surprise, her attempts at persuasion yielded unexpected success.
The government had officially declared war on the mountain bandits.
Despite their victory in the initial skirmish, Mrs.
Guan and even Scribe Guan remained skeptical of the governmentâs purported strength.
As Scribe Guan put it, âHow capable is the government, truly?
They may deceive others, but not me!â Both harbored doubts, believing the governmentâs claims to be exaggerated and suspecting Shao Yunduan of merely indulging in self-aggrandizement.
They anticipated his imminent downfall.
The resilience of the three bandit strongholds, impervious to previous government attempts at destruction, only bolstered their skepticism.
Shao Yunduanâs recent arrival only served to heighten their doubts.
Who was he to triumph over the entrenched mountain bandits?
Convinced of Shao Yunduanâs impending failure, Mrs.
Guan readily agreed to collaborate without hesitation, mobilizing the bandits for action.
Facing financial constraints, Fan Ruyin offered to cover the expenses herself.
She wagered that with Shao Yunduanâs downfall, Scribe Guan would emerge triumphant, possibly even ascending to the role of Prefect.
At that point, financial worries would become a thing of the past.
When the time came, Mrs.
Guan vowed to repay her debt.
Yet, there was a matter to settle first.
Wouldnât it be ideal if he were absolved of guilt?
With receipt in hand, Fan Ruyin approached Mrs.
Guan, charming her with a smile and prompting her to sign.
Overwhelmed with delight, Mrs.
Guan, unable to read and trusting in Fan Ruyinâs integrity, pressed her thumbprint without hesitationââŹÂŚ
