Chapter 1746

Chapter 1746: Discussion in the Village Chapter 1746: Discussion in the Village Editor: Henyee Translations It wasn’t surprising that Shao Liulang, being more well-connected, possessed additional information.

However, anything that escaped Shao Liulang’s lips was bound to be framed in a manner disadvantageous to the first section of the family.

Indeed, that turned out to be the case.

Upon receiving Shao Yunduan’s letter, announcing his appointment as the Prefect of Anze Province, the entire family and villagers celebrated.

Becoming officials in the capital and local areas was a cause for joy, especially when the role was as prestigious as a Prefect, surpassing even that of a County Magistrate.

Yet, Shao Liulang created a commotion, asserting that Shao Yunduan must have offended someone within 500 meters of the capital, leading to his exile to Anze Province.

In official terms, this was labeled as exile!

Upon reflection, the capital was directly under the emperor’s purview.

Every official aspired to serve there, putting forth their best efforts to secure a position.

The idea of willingly leaving the capital seemed preposterous.

Moreover, Anze Province wasn’t just any placeaEUR”it was described by Shao Liulang as a den of devils, a remote village plagued by bandits.

Painting a grim picture, Shao Liulang, along with Third Uncle and Ms.

Ma, painted a vivid, though entirely fictional, portrayal.

According to them, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were enduring a wretched life in Anze Province, their heads in constant jeopardy.

Third Uncle compassionately suggested to Eldest Uncle that Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan should return.

He argued that Shao Yunduan, having offended the capital’s nobles, faced exile to a perilous location, signaling the end of his official career.

In their view, resignation and prompt return seemed the prudent course.

Why risk a terrible fate in a place like Anze Province?

Eldest Uncle found himself succumbing to internal panic, swayed by Third Uncle’s arguments.

The notion of family outweighing all else resonated with himaEUR”they lacked nothing at home, and even if Shao Yunduan relinquished his official position, it should matter little.

Life was the paramount concern!

Ms.

Fang, incensed, scolded Third Uncle and chided Eldest Uncle for his perceived foolishness.

“Is Yun Duan foolish?

Does he lack a plan?

He surely has reasons for his actions!

Do you possess greater insight than him?

Does the third branch know more than him?” She dismissed the notions of offending nobles, exile, and bandit nests as baseless, attributing them to Shao Liulang’s nonsensical ramblings.

She questioned his authority to speak on the capital, labeling him as foolish and spouting nonsense, highlighting her trust in her son.

Shao Liulang, recognizing Ms.

Fang’s displeasure, capitalized on the situation, fueling unfriendly rumors in neighboring villages.

The first section of the Shao Family had led Shaoding Village to prosperity, with the surrounding villages benefiting from the trade of potatoes, tea leaves, cassavas, and more.

While many expressed gratitude, envy and jealousy were inherent in human nature.

Certain individuals harbored ill will, eager to hear negative news about their prosperous neighbors.

Regardless of the veracity, they propagated it as truth, reveling in the misfortune of others.

The Shao Family’s first section, enraged, found themselves powerless against this tide of malicious gossip.

Zhao Shu arrived at this moment.

Furious, Zhao Shu stepped in to support Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan.

As a wealthy man from prosperous Jiangnan Hangzhou, his credibility far surpassed that of Shao Liulang.

His arrival in Shaoding Village brought assurance and credibility to counter the malicious rumors.
