Chapter 1832: Obvious Threat
This is going to turn the Fan family upside down!
Old Madam Fan was almost furious. She stood up and sneered, "In that case, why not ask me first? Madam Shao, why don't you take me back to the government office now!"
"That's not necessary," Qiao Xuan smiled generously and waved her hand, "Madam Fan, you are old, how can we let you go to the government? Your children will be punished on your behalf, but Madam Bai will have to go!"
"Why!" Fan Ruyin yelled angrily, "What does this have to do with me?"
Qiao Xuan was surprised: "Isn't Mrs. Bai a member of the Fan family?"
Fan Ruyin was embarrassed: "Of course I am a member of the Fan family, Madam Shao, please don't sow discord between us! But what does this have to do with this matter?"
"Of course it is related," Qiao Xuan said with a smile, "Since you Fan family members do not agree with this case, then we adults must conduct a thorough investigation. All members of the Fan family must be present to cooperate with the investigation! How can Madam Bai be an exception?"
"Of course, Madam Fan doesn't have to go. After all, she is an old lady, and we adults are very humane."
Fan Ruyin was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Madam Fan Da and Madam Fan Er exchanged glances. For some reason, they felt somewhat happy when they heard Madam Shao talking to Fan Ruyin like this.
Old Madam Fan, however, took advantage of her age and sneered aggressively: "After all, I am the head of the Fan family. I think it's better for me to go to this government office!"
"That won't work," Qiao Xuan said calmly, "Old Madam, just pay the money quickly! If you insist on going, what if you get hurt or feel uncomfortable? That would be a big deal. That would mean that Master Fan and Master Fan II are unfilial. They are bothering you to go to the government office in person for such a small matter."
"My Great Qin will not tolerate those who are unfilial. Our Lord will definitely punish them severely!"
"You!" Even though Old Lady Fan was already overbearing enough, she was still shocked by Qiao Xuan's shameless and overbearing words.
Fan Ruyin's eyes widened... so did she. She was also enlightened! How could one confuse right and wrong like this!
Qiao Xuan didn't care about their expressions. She just kept a leisurely attitude and talked slowly.
In a word, if you take the money, nothing will happen. Otherwise, you Fan family will have to wait and see if you can afford it. Master Shao will never back down.
She and Shao Yunduan both expected that Old Madam Fan would be difficult to deal with and might do something to take advantage of her age. If she went to the yamen and made a scene by claiming to be in pain here and there, Shao Yunduan would really be helpless to deal with her.
So, they had to block her at Fan’s house and not let her go out.
She is just an old woman, so even if the mayor, the clerks, or the captain of the police came, they would be useless to her. Who would dare to touch her?
Only Qiao Xuan can come.
Qiao Xuan was the wife of the prefect after all, so no matter how powerful Old Lady Fan was, she couldn't act arrogantly in front of her. They were both women, so how could Qiao Xuan dare to touch her?
If you explain it to her clearly using both soft and hard methods, she will find that she has no choice at all!
Old Mrs. Fan was so depressed that she almost vomited blood. She had never been threatened like this before.
Mr. Shao is so annoying, and his wife is nothing either! What her daughter said was indeed absolutely correct.
No matter how cruel Mrs. Fan was, she still loved her son.
I didn't realize that what Qiao Xuan said was a joke.
She stared at her for a moment with a gloomy look, "Wipe out the one thousand taels fine! We will make up for it. It's not that we don't want to pay it, it's your officials who are negligent, you can't blame us!"
