Chapter 1818

Chapter 1818: Potatoes Chapter 1818: Potatoes Editor: Henyee Translations Such incidents were not isolated occurrences for the Fan Clan.

Accustomed to their privileged status, Old Lady Fan and her daughter had long held themselves above others.

Historically, the Prefect Lords lacked the confidence and authority to challenge the entrenched power of longstanding families like theirs, relying on their support for various matters.

However, the current Prefect Lord was a different breed.

Unfazed by the Fan Clan’s haughty demeanor, he represented a new eraaEUR”one where their arrogance was met with resistance.

Inwardly, First Madam Fan couldn’t help but feel that her mother’s arrogance had invited their current misfortune.

“Perhaps it’s fitting,” she mused to herself, “for her to face consequences for her perpetual arrogance.” Although she agreed with her husband’s assessment, First Madam Fan maintained a facade of gentility.

“Mother is of noble birth,” she offered diplomatically.

“I believe Lord Shao and Madam Shao have shown undue disrespect.

Regardless, our mother is an elder and deserves reverence.” Observing his wife’s tactful response, the First Old Master smiled knowingly, choosing not to press the matter further.

He understood the delicate balance required in navigating their family dynamics, especially concerning Old Lady Fan’s sensibilities.

“Perhaps I should speak with Mother and attempt to reason with her,” he suggested tentatively, acknowledging the need for diplomacy in managing familial conflicts.

First Madam Fan couldn’t help but sneer inwardly at her husband’s suggestion.

If you think you can persuade her, be prepared for a scolding in return.

“I’m not sure.

Perhaps we should consult with my sister-in-law first,” she suggested, masking her contempt with a veneer of diplomacy.

The First Old Master’s heart sank at the prospect.

Frowning, he sighed inwardly, realizing that he would need to tread carefully.

Perhaps it was best to keep certain matters hidden from his mother and sister going forward.

He found himself fervently wishing for the Prefect Lord’s transfer, hoping to alleviate the tensions within his family.

Meanwhile, in the state office’s backyard, guests were treated to a traditional banquet spread.

While the dishes were sumptuous, many of the women had previously sampled Qiao Xuan’s delectable cooking and were eager for something new.

Their anticipation peaked when stir-fried shredded potatoes were servedaEUR”a novel dish prepared from Madam Shao’s potatoes.

The golden strands, lightly sautA(c)ed with green peppers, exuded an enticing aroma, piquing everyone’s interest.

The arrival of potato pancakes further impressed the guests, who praised the unique fragrance and flavor.

Who knew potatoes could taste this good?” “Lord and Madam Shao have truly brought something special to Anze Province.
