Chapter 1869

Chapter 1869: Method Chapter 1869: Method Editor: Henyee Translations Brother Qing spoke up, “That woman from the Fan Family reached out to us just two days ago.

Let’s seek her out once more!

And Deputy Prefect Guan is known to be approachableaEUR|” His words left everyone stunned, but gradually, their eyes sparkled with understandingaEUR| The news of the bloody skirmish at Giant Rock Gorge quickly permeated Anze Prefecture City.

While the common folk rejoiced, the various families trembled in fear, resigned to accepting the grim reality.

Among them, those who had once dallied with the Mountain Bandits in clandestine dealings felt a shiver of apprehension, like birds startled by the twang of a bowstring.

They were plagued by deep unease, fearing a resurgence of their past entanglements.

Previously, they hadn’t dared to underestimate the Lord of the Prefect, recognizing his capabilities and refraining from provoking him lightly.

Now, their reverence for him swelled from the depths of their souls.

Yet, the most rattled by these events were the members of the Fan Family.

First Old Master Fan and Second Old Master Fan possessed intimate knowledge of the situation and were gripped by intense fear.

Even Old Lady Fan, typically stubborn and eager to undermine Shao Yunduan, remained conspicuously silent on the matter.

Fan Ruyin never imagined that the Tiger Head Tribe would come knocking at her door.

They tasked her with arranging for Madam Shao to leave the city and notify them once the date was confirmed.

Fan Ruyin felt a twinge of fear.

While she wished ill upon Qiao Xuan, she balked at direct involvement in such matters.

She had already expended considerable sums when initially declining their proposition.

Having paid the Tiger Head Tribe, she expected them to fulfill their end of the bargain.

Why should she be dragged into this personally?

Yet, could she reason with the Tiger Head Tribe?

By willingly engaging with them, she had unwittingly entangled herself, akin to crossing the Rubicon and now seeking to backtrack.

But this wasn’t her decision to make.

The tribe employed both subtle persuasion and coercive tactics.

Refusal might invite dire consequences.

Even as a member of the prestigious Fan family, one of the region’s three major clans, she recognized the tribe’s ability to deal with an ordinary individual like herself.

Fan Ruyin was both shocked and incensed, yet she dared not defy the Tiger Head Tribe’s demands.

Only now did she grasp the formidable force she had provoked.

Initially, she had rationalized the bandits’ actions as born of necessity, believing them to possess innate goodness.

But now, faced with their coercion, she felt a pang of regret, wishing ill upon Qiao Xuan.

Forced by the tribe’s pressure, Fan Ruyin humbled herself, reaching out to reconcile with her sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law.

First Madam Fan and Second Mrs.

Fan were taken aback but soon recognized her newfound contrition.

Though her demeanor remained somewhat awkward, it marked a significant improvement.

Previously, she would never have initiated such gentle and polite conversation with them.

Feeling both relieved and moved, the two madams of the Fan family contemplated how they could have altered their approach years ago, realizing that persuasion, not confrontation, might have been more effective.

Their sister-in-law’s lack of repentance and escalating recklessness had dragged the Fan Clan towards an irreversible path of ruin.

Having made amends with her sister-in-laws, Fan Ruyin seized the opportunity to extend an invitation to Qiao Xuan.

“aEUR|I admit fault for the incident at the banquet.

It was a grave mistake, and I deeply regret its consequences.”
