Chapter 1964: Self-Recommendation Chapter 1964: Self-Recommendation Editor: Henyee Translations Simultaneously, Shao Yunduan gravely addressed the presence of an instigator working behind the scenes to sow discord between himself, the Lu Family, and the Mei Family.

Their aim was to disrupt the harmony and progress of Anze Prefecture.

Such a person was utterly despicable!

He pledged to launch a covert investigation to uncover the identity of this malicious individual.

Once found, they would face severe consequences for their sinister actions!

These words reverberated with shock among the onlookers.

Many were intimidated into silence, refraining from reckless discussions.

Even if the flames of discontent burned within, they dared only to confide in their families behind closed doors, avoiding any brazen remarks.

The citizens of Anze City were well aware of Lord Shao’s capabilities.

His stern warning quelled any further impudence.

Despite their influence, were they as formidable as the bandits from the three villages?

To Shao Yunduan’s surprise, Second Old Master Lu, the father of Third Miss Lu, visited the Prefect’s office the following day.

Reluctantly, Shao Yunduan appeared, understanding the gravity of the situation, despite his inner discontent.

Second Old Master Lu approached with genuine contrition.

He bowed deeply to Shao Yunduan, expressing profound apologies and acknowledging the fault of the Lu Family in the unfolding events.

He explained that the Lu Family had been caught off guard by the rumors, utterly bewildered by the situation.

Given the involvement of the Prefect Lord, they hesitated to make any hasty remarks, fearing inadvertent offense.

To do so would be a grave transgression.

Hence, they awaited the Prefect Lord’s declaration, hoping to gauge his stance first.

Little did they anticipate that the Prefect Lord, engrossed in his administrative duties, remained unaware of the situation until it had escalated to its current stateaEUR| The Lu Family’s shame was palpable.

Shao Yunduan clenched his jaw.

Devoid of the Mei Family’s support, Shao Yunduan found it difficult to believe that the Lu Family would feign ignorance and perform a charade before him!

As one of Anze Province’s two prominent family clans, the Mei Family managed to deceive everyone except him, displaying audacity bordering on arrogance by not even fearing his ire.

Shao Yunduan had little patience for Second Old Master Lu’s lengthy explanations.

Cutting him off, he declared the matter resolved.

As long as the Lu Family remained reasonable, all would be well.

His assurances stood firm.

If the Lu Family harbored any requests within his capacity to fulfill, he would not hesitate to oblige.

To his surprise, Second Old Master Lu made an immediate plea.

He implored Shao Yunduan to take Lu Xianyun as his concubine.

“aEUR|Lord Shao, you’ve met the girl.

She is suitable to serve both you and your wife.

The Lu family’s sincerity is genuine, and the girl herself is willing.

I earnestly hope that Lord Shao can grant my wish!” “Lord Shao, I understand your demanding schedule, and it might be challenging for Madam Shao to manage alone.

Despite my daughter’s delicate appearance, she has received a thorough education from her mother.

If she accompanies you and Madam, she will undoubtedly adhere to the rules and never overstep her bounds.

You can trust in her obedience, Lord.” “Furthermore, with your formidable capabilities, who would dare to flout the regulations under your watchful eye?” “aEUR|Given the circumstances, my daughter is, after all, a woman.

This situation is somewhataEUR| In addition, perhaps it is fate.

It seems too coincidental otherwise, don’t you think?”
