With a sneer, he declared, “I must take the food with me, regardless of its location! It’s imperative that I deliver it to the provincial city first and let our general make the decision!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you insinuating? Are you using the Northwest Army as a threat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what did it matter if it was the Northwest Army? They were still subjects of the Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t it their duty as subjects to provide for the Emperor? Furthermore, this wasn’t merely a request; it was a form of tribute!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Emperor facing a shortage of food, it was only natural for his subjects to offer what they could. If the Northwest Army had any sense of decency, they would willingly provide tribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Emperor requested such a small amount of food, it would be disobedient not to comply! And disobedience would certainly invite punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan remained silent, his thoughts racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Heming, too, was lost in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t exchange glances, but they shared the same sentiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a deception! What a fraud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Meng was nothing short of a swindler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was precisely this single-minded fool who caused Shao Yunduan the most headaches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how patient Shao Yunduan tried to be, he found no desire to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just didn’t add up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Meng seemed a bit smug as he noticed this and let out a soft snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he really believe she thought he was so easily deceived? There was no way she could pull the wool over his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Consider it a deal! Lord Shao, seize this opportunity to demonstrate your loyalty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Sun Meng strode away proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of person is he?! Is General Sun out of his mind? Sending someone like that out on a task? Isn’t he worried about the trouble he might cause?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Sun Meng departed, Jia Heming couldn’t help but voice his frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan sighed inwardly. The Sun Family wielded considerable influence in the Second Prince’s domain, so what did they have to fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Pu must be well aware of Sun Meng’s capabilities, yet he dispatched him without hesitation. It seemed Magistrate Liu’s favoritism had paid off handsomely. Sun Pu must hold quite a grudge against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he used to be the Crown Prince’s subordinate. He was already enemies with the Second Prince and the Sun family…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan felt that the situation was worse than he had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord, what’s our course of action now? We can’t all head to the provincial city; that’d be too passive! Plus, giving them this food is out of the question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred thousand stones was no small amount. It would be gut-wrenching to surrender it for naught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And would the Sun family cease their demands after tasting victory? History suggested otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, should he yield or not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refusal would strain their relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But yielding was equally untenable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he capitulated now, he’d be setting a dangerous precedent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If conflict was inevitable, better to face it head-on. The Northwest Army could serve as a bulwark. It might prove invaluable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Anze Province wasn’t without defenses. Not everyone could act with impunity here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Heming’s mind seethed with indignation. He wasn’t one to swallow his frustrations easily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan spoke calmly, “I’ll depart for the city tomorrow morning with Ah-Ye and Zheng Sangge. Ah-Ye will accompany me inside, while Zheng Sangge and his men will await us outside. Rest assured, I won’t engage them directly. My wife will inform the public of my ‘illness,’ and I trust she can deter Sun Meng. You stay here and detain Sun Meng and his entourage for as long as possible. Keep them within Anze Province, no matter what.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dealing with this imbecile was exasperating. If reasoning failed, it was best to sidestep him. Shao Yunduan resolved to address Sun Pu directly.\u003C\u002Fp>",662,"2026-06-03T12:01:16.994Z","2026-06-03T12:01:18.961Z",1,"novelbin.me","7848b22c960cc0fd53421b0a314bca09221885592160249a8c18c9793592e89d","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-2114","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-2112",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
