What they desired now was for Shao Yunduan to concede defeat and lower his head.

If the three big families continued to act unchecked in Anze Province, they would solely target him and his wife.

Hearing his concerns, Qiao Xuan grew a bit anxious.

She repeatedly reminded him to be cautious when going out.

Shao Yunduan, caught between laughter and tears, reassured her, fearing she wouldn’t be able to tend to the baby in peace.

Shao Yunduan instructed Jia Heming to approach the three prominent families again and issue an ultimatum.

They wouldn’t be selling the seeds, so they needed to finalize the deal today without further delay.

If the families truly couldn’t provide assistance or resources, he would have to explore alternative solutions!

Despite Jia Heming’s expectation that the trip might be futile, he complied.

The outcome aligned with his predictions.

The three families weren’t reserved.

They genuinely had nothing to offer!

Shao Yunduan nodded and dismissed Jia Heming.

Jia Heming seemed hesitant to speak but chose to hold his tongue.

Though concerned, he left with a somber expression.

He sensed that Lord Shao was genuinely determined to take action but deemed him too hasty.

While he understood the impossibility of extracting anything from the formidable three big families, being too anxious posed its own challenges!

If the three families refused to assist, the other clans were unlikely to help either.

With no funds in the official account, Shao Yunduan faced a dilemma.

Unbeknownst to Jia Heming, Shao Yunduan had instructed Zheng Sangge to lead a group to Yuezheng Province.

There, he requested Yuezheng Xiao to secretly deliver the seeds.

Zheng Sangge brought individuals to provide discreet protection, just in case.

Given the three big families’ audacity to confront bandits, their methods differed from those of other family clans.

Shao Yunduan had to exercise caution.

As expected, First Madam Fan faced a scolding from her mother-in-law in the Fan family.

She had grown numb to it and merely listened.

Old Lady Fan had anticipated that Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan might soften their stance when asked to settle the debt.

To her displeasure, they not only held their ground but also presented the IOU the next day.

Feeling even more dissatisfied with the outcome, Old Lady Fan instructed, “Since Madam Shao has spoken, both you and your sister-in-law will go again tomorrow.

Take the butler and the IOU with you!

I want to see if Madam Shao is bluffing.”

“If she doesn’t give you the money tomorrow, don’t return empty-handed.

Make sure she promises something, understand?”

First Madam Fan nodded.

The following morning, the two of them, accompanied by the Guan family and the IOU, paid another visit.

Upon seeing them, Qiao Xuan greeted, “Welcome!”

Without a word, she had someone verify the authenticity of the IOU and gladly handed over the banknotes.

There were a total of eight cards, each worth ten thousand taels.

As she held the banknotes, Fan Ruyin remained in a daze.

Is this it?

They received the banknotes just like that?

Madam Shao didn’t even plead with the Fan family?

Regardless of Fan Ruyin’s thoughts, she could only return with the banknotes.

Despite successfully securing the repayment, Fan Ruyin found herself surprisingly dissatisfied.

Old Lady Fan shared the sentiment, feeling as though she had been slapped in the face.

She believed that other families might be ridiculing her behind her back, especially the old man from the Huo family.

Old Lady Fan promptly dispatched someone to seek out the other three smaller family clans holding the promissory note.

Their mission was to collect the debt at the designated location from the government office.
