Simultaneously, rumors circulated that Lord Shao had issued another decree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any oversights during the municipal investigations were to be reported to the government office for re-registration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surprise inspection was slated in a few days, and failure to comply would not be taken lightly… At the mention of this, countless households trembled with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overnight, they scrambled to gather the required funds and surreptitiously re-registered at the government office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally encountering acquaintances, they exchanged knowing nods, silently acknowledging the shared predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as though they were merely strolling through the government office, yet everyone was keenly aware of each other’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was a concern for another time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the missive from the two Old Masters of the Fan family landed in the hands of Old Lady Fan, igniting her ire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“9,100 taels!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph, 9,100 taels!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Shao must have a penchant for wealth!” “Those two sons of mine are utterly useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re in a panic over such a trifling matter!” Fan Ruyin’s distress deepened upon hearing the contents of the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart ached at the thought of parting with the silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, we can’t surrender the silver so readily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a disgrace to our Fan family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How will we ever hold our heads high in Anze Province?” Nearly 10,000 taels of silver was no trifling amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Fan’s lip curled in disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, it isn’t!” She was well-versed in the art of negotiation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the exorbitant demand, she intended to haggle

office?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To even consider subjecting their sons to imprisonment there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they weren’t subjected to hardship, the stigma of being incarcerated in the state office was unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accustomed to a life of luxury with plush beds and soft pillows, could they possibly sleep and eat well in such a place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that any place for people?” they lamented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they so oblivious to the impact on their reputation in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With tearful pleas, they agreed to bring their children, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren to Old Lady Fan, hoping to sway her with their collective anguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, they had to quickly bring them back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could not ignore them like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruyin couldn’t help but interject, “Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, let’s not stir up

our Fan family lose face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We must negotiate.” “Why not foot the bill yourselves, Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law?” Second Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan exploded in anger, retorting, “What nonsense are you spouting?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should we pay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this an issue that concerns us all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your own blood
