Constable Yu were considered Deputy Prefect Guan’s trusted aides, along with a few other individuals who displayed notable competence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining bailiffs, skeptical of Lord Shao’s commitment to a lengthy tenure in the region, anticipated working under Deputy Prefect Guan in the future, leading them to naturally align with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it wouldn’t be accurate to claim they were truly loyal or shared a common adversary with Deputy Prefect Guan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To their surprise, Lord Shao appeared genuinely committed to the changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the job’s salary wasn’t exceptionally generous, it wasn’t meager either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, being associated with a public office brought social recognition, enhancing one’s prestige in the community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abrupt loss of this opportunity was disheartening, leaving them in a state of anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their desperation, other concerns took a backseat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their immediate focus was finding Deputy Prefect Guan and seeking an explanation for the unfolding situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not everyone sought Deputy Prefect Guan’s counsel, a group of over ten individuals bombarded him with questions, enough to test Deputy Prefect Guan’s endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous bailiffs, absent from their government office duties, converged on Deputy Prefect Guan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan was well aware of this orchestrated response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t feign ignorance about the mastermind behind this upheaval—Deputy Prefect Guan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Prefect Guan, caught in a web of embarrassment and anger, had to maintain a facade of innocence before Shao Yunduan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fear of Shao Yunduan’s perception gnawed at him, knowing that some observers would find his predicament amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression turned sinister, as he could only hope for divine intervention to navigate through this precarious game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise… Constable Ding and Constable Yu joined the gathering as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their longstanding amicable relationship with Deputy Prefect Guan was rooted in mutual benefits, although over time, it had developed into a somewhat genuine rapport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing their arrival, Deputy Prefect Guan, half-jokingly and half-seriously, expressed his dissatisfaction, “Others may be ignorant, but to jump to conclusions from insignificant evidence, panicking over a minor issue—why are you also causing trouble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t like you!” Constable Ding and Constable Yu felt a twinge of embarrassment and discontent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Deputy Prefect Guan’s influence, they wouldn’t have fallen out with the new Prefect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In private discussions, they lamented their involvement and regretted their actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conflict seemed more like a power struggle between Deputy Prefect Guan and the new Prefect, and they questioned why they were dragged into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite their previous camaraderie with Deputy Prefect Guan, the extent of their relationship did not warrant this level of involvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reflecting on the situation, they realized that Lord Shao was unlike the previous Prefects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he was genuinely committed to staying for an extended period?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regret sank in as they anticipated strained relations even if they reconciled later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would likely be under constant scrutiny, needing to tread carefully to avoid any missteps that could be used against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They concluded that getting involved in the matter initially was a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wanted to participate, they should have found a way to avoid directly opposing the Lord of the Prefect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was too late to backtrack, and they were committed to supporting Deputy Prefect Guan, hoping that Lord Shao would eventually relent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constable Ding forced a smile and addressed Deputy Prefect Guan, “Lord, considering Lord Shao’s assertiveness, we naturally harbor some doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please enlighten us, and let’s strategize to develop a countermeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a plan in place, we won’t be caught off guard, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>",593,"2026-06-03T12:01:10.139Z","2026-06-03T12:01:10.533Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c6ed2484c3e2542377c06b3323d20dd4e46cab263dfb705e1ff849425b6afd0","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1687","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1685",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
