Chapter 1901: Reporting to the Official Chapter 1901: Reporting to the Official Editor: Henyee Translations Old Lady Fan was taken aback, her response sharp.
âWhat nonsense are you spouting!â Though her reaction was swift, First Old Master Fan had already grasped the truth.
A chill settled over his heart.
Under his stern interrogation, Fan Ruyin reluctantly admitted her mistake.
With Old Lady Fan unwilling to intervene, she found herself caught in a vicious cycle.
âSince youâve asked, weâre family after all.
I might as well tell you!
We need to find a solution to this.
Weâre in this together, for better or worse!â Old Lady Fan remained silent, leaving Fan Ruyin to explain.
Initially hesitant, Fan Ruyin stumbled over her words as she tried to deflect.
Facing First Old Master Fanâs relentless questioning, she had no choice but to come clean.
Second Old Master Fan was aghast, his emotions a mix of shock, anger, and fear.
Pointing an accusing finger at Fan Ruyin, he exclaimed, âYou, you, you dare to court disaster!
Those bandits are ruthless!
Even we steer clear of them.
But you?
You willingly walked into their den like a lamb to the slaughter!
If they spare you, who else would they spare?â âAnd yet you have the nerve to shed tears?
It seems youâre aiming to bring ruin upon us all!â Fan Ruyin was overwhelmed with a mix of aggrievement, embarrassment, fear, and terror.
Her brotherâs coldness pierced her heart, filling it with a chilling despair.
Tears streamed down her face as she cried out, âHow is this my fault?
Iâm acting in the best interests of the Fan family, trying to alleviate our worries!â âThat official wonât spare us.
Donât delude yourself!
Iâm just trying to take preemptive action!â âDonât be so full of yourself,â Second Old Master Fan snapped, his anger flaring.
âYou refuse to acknowledge your mistakes, yet somehow turn them into heroic deeds?
Itâs absurd!
And itâs all because Mother indulges you!â Old Lady Fan interjected sharply, âSecond son, have you lost your mind?
Criticizing your own mother?
I think Yinâer has a point.
If you werenât so useless, why would you rely on her?
That Shao has been targeting our family.
If we donât act, heâll never let us be!â âHow did youââŹââ âEnough, both of you!
Why are you arguing at a time like this?â First Old Master Fanâs head throbbed with frustration.
He admonished them sternly, âThis is not the time for squabbling!
We canât afford any more mistakes!â âWhat are you suggesting?â Old Lady Fan and Fan Ruyin spoke simultaneously.
First Old Master Fan glanced between his mother and sister before speaking with resolve, âWe need to confess to the authorities.
Second Brother and I will personally apologize to Lord Shao.â âWhat?!â âNo, absolutely not!â âNo, thatâs not an option.
Letâs split up.
We need to do it now.â First Old Master Fanâs tone brooked no argument.
âI wonât accept anything in between!
My wife and children will leave with me immediately.â Old Lady Fan shook with fury.
âYouââŹÂŚ you unfilial child!â First Old Master Fan remained composed.
âMother, youâre leading the family to ruin.
If I leave, at least there will still be descendants of the Fan family.
Whatâs wrong with that?
Youâre old, and if youâre sentenced, theyâll likely be lenient.
Iâll be there to take care of you when that time comes.â âSilence!â Old Lady Fan was on the brink of losing her mind.
She seized the teacup and struck her eldest son with it.
âYou traitor!
How dare you!â âThe Tiger Head Tribe has been wiped out.
The Min Family Tribe and Liuhe Fort wonât fare any better.
Lord Shao means business.
Do you truly believe heâll spare the Fan Family once this comes to light?â âAnd whoâs to say the officials are telling the truth?
Itâs possible the Tiger Head Tribe still stands!
Perhaps theyâve all sought refuge with the Min Family Tribe and Liuhe Fort?â
