Chapter 1965: Three Mei Brothers Chapter 1965: Three Mei Brothers Editor: Henyee Translations “Lord, I implore you to grant my request!” Second Old Master Lu pleaded earnestly.

He subtly hinted at Lu Xianyun’s upbringing, emphasizing her education in etiquette, painting, and calligraphy since childhood.

Should she become part of the Lu family, they would spare no expense on her dowryaEUR| Shao Yunduan found Second Old Master Lu’s words repugnant.

Maintaining his composure, he instructed someone to escort Second Old Master Lu out of the room.

The atmosphere within the Prefectural Government Office had changed.

Such brazenness and shamelessness were no longer tolerated.

Despite his indignation, Second Old Master Lu refrained from causing a scene, his demeanor darkening as he departed in disappointment.

His resilience was noteworthy.

Though he left Shao Yunduan’s presence crestfallen, he regained his composure and dignity upon reaching the court’s entrance, appearing calm and refined once more.

It was as if he was having a great conversation with Lord Shao.

Those who didn’t know better would think that he was satisfied!

Second Old Master Lu did not go home directly.

The carriage circled the streets and found a secluded alley with few people.

After making many turns, he quietly entered through the corner door at the back of the Mei residence.

The three Old Masters of the Mei Family were all at home.

It seemed like they were still waiting for him.

“How’s that?” “How is it?” Second Old Master Lu smiled bitterlyaEUR| “What did you say?” Under the interrogation of the three brothers of the Mei Family, Second Old Master Lu recounted the process of meeting Shao Yunduan in detail.

The more the three brothers of the Mei Family listened, the worse their expressions became.

Second Old Master Lu, the serious second brother-in-law of the Mei Family, had always been a little afraid.

Moreover, the Mei Family was much stronger than the Lu Family.

Seeing this scene, they could not help but feel anxious and puzzled.

However, he did not dare to say anything, let alone ask.

“Lord Shao doesn’t like anything.

What does he want?” “Heh, you want someone like Madam Shao, right?

But I don’t think that Madam Shao is anything good.” “What do we do now?” The three brothers of the Mei Family were extremely depressed.

Second Old Master Lu observed the exchange, attempting a smile as he spoke, “Perhaps it’s best to put this matter behind us.

With Lord Shao’s clarification, I doubt anyone will dare to speak out.

Besides, there’s talk of compensationaEUR”” “What do you understand!” Third Old Master Mei interjected furiously.

Clarification?

Who needed clarification when they were eager for the rumors to gain traction!

And compensation?

What good would it do?

It wasn’t that they doubted Shao Yunduan’s sincerity, but they knew it wasn’t what they desired.

Second Old Master Lu remained silent, inwardly lamenting.

Even before the Fan Family’s demise, the Mei Family stood at the forefront of the three prominent families in Anze Prefecture City.

Their prosperity in recent years had made them a towering presence akin to the sun in the sky.

What cause did they have for fear?

For Shao Yunduan to effectively govern Anze Prefecture and foster economic growth, he relied on the support of these prominent families.

With the Fan Family already eliminated, if Shao Yunduan were to unjustly harm the Mei Family, wouldn’t he worry about the repercussions from other influential families?

If the region were to destabilize, he, as the governing official, could forget about maintaining stability!

Surely, he wasn’t so foolish?

He struggled to comprehend their intentions.
