Chapter 992: Revenge

Translator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations

No one was to blame; it was simply a regrettable mistake.

Emperor Xuans expression softened. Very well, lets put this behind us. Never speak of it again.

Yes, Your Majesty!

You may go now.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Officer Tian let out a sigh of relief as he exited the pavilion.

That was a close call! He had felt utterly humiliated.

For the time being, he would refrain from taking any actions against Shao Yunduan. He would ensure that nothing would happen to him and that everything would go smoothly within a year.

Otherwise, the blame would fall on his daughter, and that was simply exasperating!

Officer Tians annoyance grew, prompting him to change his plans. Instead of heading to the governmental office, he decided to go straight home to Madame Qiao.

Inside the residence, Tian Shanshan was engaged in conversation with her mother. Observing Officer Tians troubled expression, she offered a comforting smile. Who upset you? You must also take care of yourself. Dont let these matters get to you. If you show your anger, it will only invite sympathy from others and make us feel sorry for you.

Madame Tian joined in, her smile gentle. Shanshan is right, my dear husband. Look at how filial our daughter is!

Shanshan has always been a paragon of filial piety, and I am well aware of that! I am blessed to have such a wonderful daughter! Officer Tian chuckled, finding solace in Tian Shanshans words. He felt a sense of relief wash over him.

However, the weight of his daughters recent misstep lingered in his mind, causing him further distress. She was such a kind-hearted girl, so why did she have to encounter such unfairness?

He could no longer tolerate it.

There was no time like the present to seek vengeance!

After a brief exchange, Officer Tian escorted Tian Shanshan away and recounted the morning court incident to Madame Tian.

Madame Tian felt a sense of suffocation. What does this have to do with you, dear husband? Its not your fault! If that Shao person has offended someone, its only natural for others to seek revenge. If he lacks the ability to handle it, hell have to face the consequences. Why should you bear the blame?

The Emperors actions are completely unfair this time!

Are we expected to shoulder the responsibility for anything that befalls the Shao family?

Madame Tians words were fueled by her frustration, but Officer Tian could only offer a bitter smile and sigh. Youre right.

What do you mean?

From this point forward, I will make it known that no one should cause any trouble for Shao. Ill ensure that people pay attention to him and offer a.s.sistance if anything happens.

Dear husband, youre being unreasonable!

Madame Tians annoyance grew.

Dont worry, its never too late for revenge. We can discuss this after a year and a half. Once this matter subsides, we wont be held accountable for any misfortunes that befall him. The Emperor believes that someone is trying to gain favor with me. If I dont take action, the blame will fall on me.

Madame Tians frustration grew. Its just too much!

But thats what the Emperor has decided. What can we do?

Madame Tians eyes welled up with tears. She used a handkerchief to wipe them away. Poor Shanshan, she doesnt deserve this

Officer Tians heart ached. It wasnt just his daughter who had been wronged; he felt deeply humiliated as well. The Emperors scolding of Censor Liu in front of everyone had been unbearable.

He had never felt such shame in the court before!

Things will get better in the future. Our Shanshan is wonderful, and she will surely find a great partner.
