Chapter 1903: Apology Chapter 1903: Apology Editor: Henyee Translations Tears streamed down Fan Ruyin’s cheeks.

“MotheraEUR|” The Second Old Master Fan cast a brief glance at Fan Ruyin, but remained silent.

Despite his dissatisfaction, he couldn’t bring himself to defy his mother, nor did he entertain the thought of sacrificing his sister.

The First Old Master Fan sighed heavily and nodded.

“Sister, let it be.

Do not involve yourself any further in this matter.” In essence, the burden of this issue would fall upon the First Old Master Fan.

Fan Ruyin, finally feeling a pang of guilt, murmured softly, “Thank you, Elder BrotheraEUR|” Though the situation seemed resolved, Fan Ruyin still felt a lingering unease.

With trepidation gripping her, she found herself unwilling to return to face the second-in-command and the others, and so she declared her intention to stay with her mother.

Old Lady Fan consented.

The First Old Master Fan pondered their predicament.

He promptly instructed Fan Ruyin to return and pacify the others with some strategic information.

Those individuals were inherently cunning and would undoubtedly be on high alert.

If Fan Ruyin failed to return, their suspicions would be aroused, possibly leading to rash actions.

Despite the presence of guards at home, they were no match for such cunning adversaries.

The consequences of injury or death would be dire, and if the culprits escaped, the Fan family would be left to bear the weight of their transgressions.

Fan Ruyin hesitated at the thought of returning.

Once, facing the situation head-on seemed manageable, but now, having vocalized her fear, she found herself devoid of courage.

She simply couldn’t muster the strength to face it again; fear gripped her tightly.

The First Old Master Fan’s frustration nearly reached its boiling point.

The Second Old Master Fan’s anger was palpable.

“Why did fear suddenly strike you now?

Were you not afraid when you first stumbled upon them?

You showed no fear after sheltering them in our residence for days.

Yet now, you claim to be afraid.

Your timing couldn’t be worse!

You must maintain your facade convincingly.

Failure to do so could spell disaster for our family!” Reluctantly, Fan Ruyin beseeched the First Old Master Fan to hasten to the government for assistance.

Despite her plea, she eventually found herself returning to the courtyard.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the First Old Master Fan wasted no time.

He understood that prompt action was paramount to demonstrating sincerity.

With his decision made, he promptly ordered the carriage prepared and set out without delay, heading straight for the government office.

Shao Yunduan found himself inundated with responsibilities, the court abuzz with activity.

Unable to meet with the First Old Master Fan immediately, Shao Yunduan received word, albeit at a considerable expense, that urgent matters required his attention.

Shao Yunduan didn’t meet him until he received notification.

Upon their encounter, the First Old Master Fan immediately dropped to his knees before Shao Yunduan, performing three deep kowtows.

As he lifted his head, a trickle of blood adorned his forehead, yet he seemed unaffected by the pain.

With a solemn expression, he implored, “Lord Shao, I beg for your mercyaEUR|” Tears streamed down the First Old Master Fan’s face as he confessed, shouldering full responsibility for the ordeal.

He admitted to succumbing to greed and foolishly harboring the mountain bandits in his home after being coerced by them.

The weight of his actions grew heavier with each passing day, especially after the complete obliteration of the Tiger Head Tribe, a testament to Lord Shao’s formidable power.

It was then that he realized the magnitude of his error.

In a bid to rectify his wrongdoing and prevent further harm, he mustered the courage to surrender himself.

He pleaded earnestly for Lord Shao’s forgiveness, hoping for clemency for the Fan family.

Shao Yunduan had harbored suspicions regarding the Fan Family, fueled by Qiao Xuan’s revelations.

However, lacking concrete evidence, he couldn’t justify ordering a search.

Instead, they could only wait for the Fan family’s exposure, anticipating the opportune moment to apprehend them.

Unexpectedly, the First Old Master Fan had taken the initiative to confess.

Despite this, Shao Yunduan remained skeptical of the veracity of the First Old Master Fan’s claims.
