Chapter 1861: Is the Fan Family That Shameless?

Editor: Henyee Translations “Is there no one who can rein him in?!” Old Lady Fan expressed her dissatisfaction.

Then, a sneer crossed her face.

“He’s just a disgraced official banished from the capital.

I’ve heard he’s clashed with the nobility there and holds a middling position.

Who doesn’t know his background, and who fears him?

Prepare a lavish gift and head to Huaixi province to meet the Lord.

Let’s see how he reacts when we bring Lord Shao down!

I’m curious to know!” The two Old Masters exchanged puzzled glances.

What was their mother thinking?

Anze Province was the most remote region in Huaixi Province, separated by rugged mountains and difficult terrain.

It had long been infested with bandits, earning a reputation as a lawless area.

The provincial capital rarely paid it any attention.

Even taxes were scarcely collected.

The local officials were hardly ever bothered unless something major happened.

Sending them to the provincial capital to confront the prefectural magistrate seemed like a fool’s errand.

The magistrate would likely be grateful as long as nothing went wrong in Anze Province.

Touching the affairs of Anze Province would be the last thing on his mind.

It seemed rather impractical and futile for the Fan family to try to assert themselves in this manner.

The Fan family held considerable influence in Anze Province, but their power didn’t extend as easily to the provincial capital.

Gaining access to the prefectural magistrate’s office, let alone influencing his decisions, would be no simple feataEUR| Had their mother lost her senses?

First Old Master Fan and Second Old Master Fan felt a heavy sense of dismay.

What was driving their mother to confront the Prefect Lord so boldly?

Was she prepared to engage in a battle of wills with such a powerful figure?

“Mother, we must consider this carefully,” First Old Master Fan began, attempting to reason with her.

“Our family lacks the necessary connections with the Prefect Lord.

It won’t be easy to sway his decisions.

We need to approach this situation with cautionaEUR|” Old Lady Fan’s tone turned icy.

“I understand your concerns.

You think I’m being meddlesome and rash.

But can’t you see that Prefect Shao is deliberately targeting our family?

First, he detained you, then he imposed a hefty fine.

Madam Shao is clearly stirring up trouble and using it as an excuse to interfere with our family’s business.

Do you truly believe that a mere apology will suffice?” “I agree,” Second Old Master Fan interjected.

“This Prefect seems incredibly vindictive.

He won’t be satisfied until he sees the downfall of our family.

And he can easily find any excuse to target us.

Why should we willingly subject ourselves to his bullying?

You need to rein in your temper!” Old Lady Fan bristled at her son’s retort.

“Don’t talk back to me!” “I mean no disrespect, Mother,” Second Old Master Fan responded, undeterred.

“But let’s be honest.

We tried to keep this matter low-key, but it got out somehow.

It’s not surprising that we faced consequences.

Besides, if Ruyin hadn’t impulsively intervened at yesterday’s banquet, things might not have escalated to this extent.” “Enough of your lectures!” Old Lady Fan snapped.

“I apologize, Mother.

I’ll stay out of this matter as well,” Second Old Master Fan conceded.

“But regarding your suggestion for Elder Brother to visit the provincial capital, I must dissent.

It’s not so simple to gain access to the magistrate’s office.

We risk only inviting further humiliation.”
