Chapter 1900

Chapter 1900: Caught In Hobble Chapter 1900: Caught In Hobble Editor: Henyee Translations Old Lady Fan’s eyebrows shot up, a wave of anger rippling across her features.

“Did your brother and sister-in-law do something?” she demanded.

“No, no!” Fan Ruyin shook her head, gesturing for the maids to leave.

She then threw herself into her mother’s arms, tears streaming down her face.

“Mother, please save me, please…” Old Lady Fan was taken aback by her daughter’s distress.

“How could you be so careless!

Leaving evidence behind so easily!

This won’t end well, not at all!” She harbored no qualms about Fan Ruyin’s attempt to eliminate Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan.

They had crossed a line and deserved their fate.

But Fan Ruyin’s lack of caution had put them all in jeopardy.

At her mother’s reprimand, Fan Ruyin felt a measure of relief, though her guilt lingered.

“But Mother, what do we do now?

Those four people are still in our house…” “You!” Old Lady Fan’s gaze bore into her.

What to do now?

It was a dilemma indeed.

With the city under martial law, extracting them wouldn’t be simple.

It might be feasible for one person, but with four involved, it posed a significant challenge.

“That won’t do at all!” It was simply impossible to keep this matter hidden from everyone.

At the very least, they would need assistance from the Guan family, their trusted maidservants, and other servants.

But with their involvement, the secret could easily slip out, spelling disaster for the Fan family.

Yet, they couldn’t abandon them… As Old Lady Fan pondered, frustration bubbled within her, leading to another scolding directed at Fan Ruyin.

Tears welled up in Fan Ruyin’s eyes.

Seeing her daughter, once vibrant and full of life, now reduced to trembling fear, Old Lady Fan’s heart softened.

She couldn’t bear to continue scolding her.

It was Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan who deserved the scolding.

If they hadn’t interfered, none of this would have happened.

Hadn’t Anze Prefecture City been peaceful all these years?

Why did they have to meddle… Summoning her two sons, Old Lady Fan grilled them for answers.

Had the government truly obliterated the Tiger Head Tribe, or was it exaggerated?

What was the current status of the tribe?

Had the stronghold truly fallen?

And what about the bandits?

Had most fled to the Min Family Tribe and Liuhe Fort?

And so it continued.

Second Old Master Fan seemed unusually knowledgeable.

Old Lady Fan pressed for answers, growing impatient with his evasiveness.

“I’m neither a mountain bandit from Tiger Head Tribe nor a constable from the government.

How would I know!” Angrily, Old Lady Fan retorted, “If you know nothing, then what good are you?

If you’re so useless, why bother being here?” Second Old Master Fan snapped back, frustration evident.

“If you’re so bored, why not hire storytellers?

Why bother with this?

It’s unrelated to us.

Why would I bother knowing?

It’s nothing but bad luck!” “What nonsense!

Keep quiet!” The exchange escalated into a heated argument between mother and son.

Fan Ruyin, burdened with guilt, found her brother’s words grating and joined in, further infuriating Second Old Master Fan.

First Old Master Fan, silent until now, felt an odd sensation creeping over him.

Suddenly, he interjected, “Mother, are we somehow connected to Tiger Head Tribe?”
