was frosty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qiao Xuan took her seat, Old Lady Fan fixed her with a sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam Shao, what brings you here to detain my two sons?” Qiao Xuan maintained a composed smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t Old Master Fan correspond with us, Old Lady?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He elucidated the situation thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our Lord has shown leniency by imposing a mere one thousand taels of silver as punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, anticipating any misconceptions, I’ve come to clarify matters.” She extended a small token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a gesture of our Lord’s goodwill.” Fan Ruyin couldn’t resist interjecting, “Madam Shao, you’re correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our family’s finances aren’t bottomless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t demanding nearly ten thousand taels a bit excessive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I speak plainly, Madam Shao, please don’t take offense.” “Indeed, Madam Shao,” Second Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s resolve this matter amicably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s nothing insurmountable, is there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fan family is renowned in Anze Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Shao’s leniency grants us face, and naturally, the Fan family reciprocates…” The implication was clear: in the future, the Fan family would collaborate with Lord Shao’s governance, ready to assist whenever he required their aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Madam Fan, wary of Fan Ruyin’s potential arrogance, intervened with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan quickly echoed her agreement, eager to avoid conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both women harbored a fear of the old lady and her daughter, especially Fan Ruyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her domineering nature had strained her relationship with her husband to the point where he seemed like a distant stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t bear to see others thrive, and her eccentric behavior extended even to her own family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Fan huffed in disapproval, shooting a cold glance at her daughters-in-law, but refrained from speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In public, she understood the importance of saving face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Qiao Xuan remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t there to negotiate but to deliver a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan, you seem to have misunderstood,” Qiao Xuan maintained her calm demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe there’s little to discuss, correct?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Lord has already displayed clemency!” Old Lady Fan seethed with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Detaining her isn’t letting her off!” Qiao Xuan met her gaze squarely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fan Family concealed the truth, and according to the law, you should face fines exceeding 2,000 taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, our Lord only demands 1,000 taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t that an act of mercy?” “But even if we’re required to pay, shouldn’t he release our people from the government office?” Old Lady Fan countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We cannot release them without the full payment, as dictated by the laws of Great Qin,” Qiao Xuan calmly stated, her smile unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First Madam Fan, if you doubt my words, feel free to verify them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve only detained two Old Masters today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Fan Family is truly reluctant to pay, our Lord deems it reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, we must thoroughly investigate this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone involved must report to the government office for questioning—farm stewards, mansion housekeepers, Old Master Fan’s trusted aides, Madame Fan’s household staff, and so forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one will be exempt!” “I believe a thorough inquiry will shed light on this matter!” The members of the Fan family were all speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>",526,"2026-06-03T12:01:13.656Z","2026-06-03T12:01:16.301Z",1,"novelbin.me","dad2a2296e57e46145a6f1d558847575cee0f84754f56b81f5f3444e88b741f9","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1832","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1830",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
