As a result, Old Lady Fan seethed with fury.

Despite Jia Heming’s repeated visits, she consistently taunted and ridiculed him, making him oblivious to the extent of her disdain.

The mere mention of the Prefect Lord would elicit Old Lady Fan’s fervent desire for Shao Yunduan’s misfortune.

She would then resort to tearful pleas, accompanied by generous offers of benefits to the Fan Family.

During such moments, she found some satisfaction in venting her anger.

Upon hearing Old Lady Fan’s sentiments, Old Master Mei displayed contentment and nodded.

“Let’s proceed with that plan.”

Old Master Huo chuckled, adding, “Since you’ve made up your mind, I naturally can’t lag behind.”

In response, Old Lady Fan snorted and rolled her eyes at him.

She harbored a strong dislike for the cunning and selfish old man from the Huo family, who always prioritized personal gain.

Despite being astute, he never took a step forward, always hiding behind others.

Regardless, the Fan family, with its strength, held no fear.

“Now that the decision’s made, let’s stand by our word.

Everyone, go back and inform your families, relatives, and friends.”

Old Master Mei and Old Master Huo nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Old Lady Fan’s tone shifted, and she remarked, “The government still owes us a considerable sum of money, not to mention the interest.

What’s your stance on reclaiming it?”

Old Master Huo and Old Master Mei’s hearts skipped a beat at this unexpected turn.

They thought to themselves, “How ruthless!”

When it came to being relentless, vengeful, and unyielding, no one dared to challenge Old Lady Fan for the top spot.

“Let’s proceed cautiously,” Old Master Mei advised slowly.

“Forcing the Lord of the Prefect into a corner may bring unforeseen changes.

We’re all seeking wealth; there’s no need to escalate matters to that extent at the moment.”

Old Master Huo nodded in agreement.

“The Mei Family’s eldest nephew is correct.

A cornered rabbit bites!

Moreover, Lord Shao is known for his temper.

Stirring up trouble might not be necessary.”

The idea of the government owing them money seemed appealing.

This way, regardless of who assumed the role of Prefect, they would have a favor owed to them.

Denying such a claim was practically impossible.

Since each family wasn’t lacking in funds, treating the owed sum like a deposit in the bank seemed reasonable.

Old Lady Fan, displeased by their opposition, sneered and remarked, “Repaying what you owe is the right thing to do.

How can you turn it into a problem?

Is having a temper an excuse not to settle debts?

What a joke!

If you won’t, the Fan family will reclaim the money, that’s for certain!”

Old Master Mei remained silent.

Old Master Huo smiled without offering further comments.

Even more displeased, Old Lady Fan took action the next day.

She instructed her two sons to visit the office and demand the return of the owed 80,000 taels of silver from Lord Shao.

The two Old Masters of the Fan family were baffled, unable to comprehend their mother’s sudden insistence on this matter.

Despite attempting to dissuade her, Old Lady Fan remained obstinate.

Helpless, the two elders sought an alternative solution and requested their daughter-in-law to approach Madam Shao first.

After some consideration, Old Lady Fan eventually agreed, stating, “Fine, I’ll save some face for Lord Shao!

If he has any sense, he’ll return the money.

Otherwise, don’t blame me for tarnishing the reputation of the Prefect’s office!”

Indeed, it was embarrassing for the dignified Prefect’s office to be unable to repay a debt.

Such a situation would undermine Shao Yunduan’s authority.

After all, he represented the Prefect’s office.
