Going to the Fan Family

If Old Lady Fan had refrained from touching Scribe Jia, perhaps there would have been a chance to negotiate with Lord Shao. They could have facilitated a few years of transition. But now, who could predict if Lord Shao would still be around after that time?

Yet, she couldn't risk causing trouble for Lord Shao herself. Instead, she resorted to paying hooligans to rough up Scribe Jia.

Now, her options for retreat were blocked. Despite Lord Shao's potential retaliation, no one dared to speak against him.

News of the interrogation results swiftly reached the Fan family. Old Lady Fan sneered, "He got off lightly!"

She harbored no regrets, nor did she feel any fear. Just a twinge of irritation at Shao Yunduan's unexpected swiftness.

Nanny Hang was privy to the events as well. Recalling the previous night sent shivers down her spine, her legs almost giving way from fear.
