Shameless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Editor: Henyee Translations “Is there no one who can rein him in?!” Old Lady Fan expressed her dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a sneer crossed her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s just a disgraced official banished from the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve heard he’s clashed with the nobility there and holds a middling position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who doesn’t know his background, and who fears him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prepare a lavish gift and head to Huaixi province to meet the Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s see how he reacts when we bring Lord Shao down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m curious to know!” The two Old Masters exchanged puzzled glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was their mother thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anze Province was the most remote region in Huaixi Province, separated by rugged mountains and difficult terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had long been infested with bandits, earning a reputation as a lawless area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The provincial capital rarely paid it any attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even taxes were scarcely collected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The local officials were hardly ever bothered unless something major happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending them to the provincial capital to confront the prefectural magistrate seemed like a fool’s errand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magistrate would likely be grateful as long as nothing went wrong in Anze Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Touching the affairs of Anze Province would be the last thing on his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed rather impractical and futile for the Fan family to try to assert themselves in this manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fan family held considerable influence in Anze Province, but their power didn’t extend as easily to the provincial capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaining access to the prefectural magistrate’s office, let alone influencing his decisions, would be no simple featâ€¦ Had their mother lost her senses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Old Master Fan and Second Old Master Fan felt a heavy sense of dismay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was driving their mother to confront the Prefect Lord so boldly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she prepared to engage in a battle of wills with such a powerful figure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, we must consider this carefully,” First Old Master Fan began, attempting to reason with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our family lacks the necessary connections with the Prefect Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won’t be easy to sway his decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need to approach this situation with cautionâ€¦” Old Lady Fan’s tone turned icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand your concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You think I’m being meddlesome and rash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But can’t you see that Prefect Shao is deliberately targeting our family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he detained you, then he imposed a hefty fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Shao is clearly stirring up trouble and using it as an excuse to interfere with our family’s business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you truly believe that a mere apology will suffice?” “I agree,” Second Old Master Fan interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Prefect seems incredibly vindictive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He won’t be satisfied until he sees the downfall of our family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he can easily find any excuse to target us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should we willingly subject ourselves to his bullying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You need to rein in your temper!” Old Lady Fan bristled at her son’s retort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t talk back to me!” “I mean no disrespect, Mother,” Second Old Master Fan responded, undeterred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But let’s be honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We tried to keep this matter low-key, but it got out somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not surprising that we faced consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, if Ruyin hadn’t impulsively intervened at yesterday’s banquet, things might not have escalated to this extent.” “Enough of your lectures!” Old Lady Fan snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I apologize, Mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll stay out of this matter as well,” Second Old Master Fan conceded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But regarding your suggestion for Elder Brother to visit the provincial capital, I must dissent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not so simple to gain access to the magistrate’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We risk only inviting further humiliation.”\u003C\u002Fp>",594,"2026-06-03T12:01:14.208Z","2026-06-03T12:01:16.737Z",1,"novelbin.me","8b938649c09e58fdbcd22ebc130bd178512ad40ead1a5d802166cb9dd5ba0279","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1862","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1860",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
