Chapter 1817: One-Month-old Banquet Chapter 1817: One-Month-old Banquet Editor: Henyee Translations Some individuals found themselves genuinely intrigued by Madam Shao’s confident assertions, reasoning that she wouldn’t risk implicating Lord Shao unless she spoke the truth.

With plans to purchase the potatoes when they became available, they saw little harm in giving them a try or even cultivating some themselves.

On the day of Anan’s one-month-old banquet, the state government office buzzed with activity.

Dozens of tables adorned the backyard, where male guests congregated, while female guests occupied seats in the east courtyard.

Qiao Xuan summoned a cadre of trusted individualsaEUR”Ms.

Song, Ms.

Miao, Qiaoqiao, Songshi, Qingyan, Mianmian, Lixia, Liqiu, Caiyue, and CaiyunaEUR”to assist with the day’s preparations.

Each was assigned specific tasks, ensuring seamless coordination throughout the festivities.

While the garden affairs could be managed with the help of Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and other bailiffs, the east courtyard demanded unwavering attention to prevent any mishaps during the celebration.

It was imperative to maintain the utmost decorum, especially when attending to the guests.

As the guests arrived for the one-month-old celebration, all eyes naturally turned to the baby.

Nanny Caiming and her assistants, Caiyun and Caiyue, remained on high alert, steadfast in their duty to safeguard Anan’s well-being.

Throughout the day, Lixia and her counterparts remained vigilant, discreetly attending to the needs of both guests and maidservants.

However, notable absentees included the Fan Clan, who harbored a desire to attend but ultimately refrained.

Old Lady Fan’s previous misjudgment, influenced by Fan Ruyin’s slander, had strained relations.

Until formally invited by Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, they remained on the sidelines, unsure of their welcome.

Despite being one of the three prominent families in Anze Province, the Fan Clan anticipated deference from the Prefect Lord, given their stature.

Moreover, their recent cooperation in the investigation of land holdings had already demonstrated their willingness to cooperate, providing the Prefect Lord with sufficient face.

However, to their surprise, no representatives from the Shao Family arrived.

As time ticked on, it became increasingly apparent that no invitation would be forthcoming.

Old Lady Fan’s initial disappointment swiftly turned to indignation.

“This is outrageous!

Outrageous!

I won’t forget this!” Fueling her fire, Fan Ruyin speculated, “I suppose it’s because we showed leniency this time, making the Prefect Lord think we’re easy prey.

They’re taking advantage of our generosity.

But mark my words, when the Prefect Lord departs Anze Province, their true colors will showaEUR|” Frustrated, Old Lady Fan found herself yearning for the mountain bandits of yesteryear, once feared but now wished for to humble Lord Shao.

The Fan family’s elders hesitated to approach Old Lady Fan, foreseeing the inevitable ridicule that would follow their absence.

While other families eagerly attended the state office banquet, the absence of the Fan Clan was met with little surprise or disappointment.

Reflecting on the situation, the First Old Master and Madam lamented, “Mother’s temperament remains unchanged, but the current Prefect Lord is not like his predecessors.

How times have changed!” The First Madam Fan remained silent, well aware of past tensions between their families, particularly involving the Prefect’s daughter, who had suffered indignities at the hands of Berirui.
