Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1739

Chapter 1739: Let Him Do It Chapter 1739: Let Him Do It Editor: Henyee Translations Unlike in the past, when he gave an order, someone would immediately follow it.

It wasn’t like now, where they would reject him or use Lord Shao as an excuse, which made Deputy Prefect Guan furious.

Deputy Prefect Guan was unwilling to give up, so he started looking for trouble.

However, Jia Heming knew him well and had long been on guard.

It was not so easy for him to catch Jia Heming and the others.

After all, Jia Heming wasn’t targeting him on purpose.

He was doing everything according to the rules, or he would rebut everything by saying, “Lord Shao told me to!” Deputy Prefect Guan was furious.

In the past, Jia Heming and the others wouldn’t have had the guts to do this to him.

They were relying on Lord Shao!

Did they really think that he could not deal with them?

Unable to find legitimate faults, Deputy Prefect Guan resorted to targeted harassment against Jia Heming.

Exploiting his authority, Deputy Prefect Guan abused his position to control others and assigned Jia Heming a mission with the intention of making it impossible to complete.

He subtly instigated trouble through veiled hints, creating a situation where Jia Heming faced insurmountable challenges.

Seizing the opportunity, Deputy Prefect Guan publicly berated Jia Heming, accusing him of being careless, incompetent, and unworthy of his position.

Jia Heming, grappling with his anger, attempted to defend himself.

However, before he could articulate his points, Deputy Prefect Guan rudely interrupted him, levying accusations of rudeness, disrespect, and insubordination without providing any chance for explanation.

Though cursing inwardly, Jia Heming refrained from uttering a word, fearing that any response might lead to further name-calling and derogatory labels.

Witnessing Jia Heming’s silence, Deputy Prefect Guan took pleasure in his perceived victory.

Fueling his anger, he intensified the verbal assault, aiming to set an example and showcase the consequences of opposing him and disregarding his authority.

This targeted mistreatment persisted for three to four consecutive days, as Deputy Prefect Guan continued to subject Jia Heming to various forms of harassment.

Initially, there were individuals who covertly supported Jia Heming or spoke positively on his behalf.

Unfortunately, Deputy Prefect Guan implicated these sympathizers, intentionally subjecting them to difficulties.

Upon realizing that Lord Shao seemed unaware of the situation, the scribes who were initially aligned with Deputy Prefect Guan chose to remain relatively quiet.

However, as the perceived lack of awareness from Lord Shao continued, they grew bolder, exacerbating the challenges for Jia Heming and his associates.

During Deputy Prefect Guan’s recovery, Shao Yunduan visibly valued Jia Heming, eliciting long-standing envy from those who harbored resentment.

In Deputy Prefect Guan’s absence, they refrained from hasty actions.

With the opportunity presenting itself and no objection from Shao Yunduan, their discontent could no longer be contained.

Their actions escalated without restraint, further complicating the challenges faced by Jia Heming and his allies.

These individuals took great satisfaction in their actions and showered Deputy Prefect Guan with flattery behind his back.

They emphasized the Deputy Prefect’s indispensability, asserting that, regardless of Lord Shao’s capabilities, his success in governing Anze Province hinged on the Deputy Prefect’s unparalleled knowledge after years of residency.

In their view, Lord Shao’s perceived significance was merely temporary, a consequence of Deputy Prefect Guan’s absence due to recovery.

Upon Deputy Prefect Guan’s return, Jia Heming not only refused to step aside but also attempted to rival Deputy Prefect Guan.

This audacious move, using chicken feathers as arrows, reflected a clear overestimation of his own importance, bordering on the laughable.

In the inevitable choice between him and Deputy Prefect Guan, Lord Shao would undoubtedly favor the Deputy Prefect.

It went without saying, Self-awareness is a crucial trait.

Lacking it, one might unwittingly become a clown, blissfully unaware of their own folly.
