I wish to extend an invitation to Madam Shao and a few other madams to enjoy the scenery. It's also an opportunity for me to offer my sincere apologies to Madam Shao and mend any grievances between us. Sister-in-laws, I implore your assistance in this matter. It's for the betterment of our Fan family…"

Consider the events at Giant Rock Gorge. Hundreds of bandits fell to Lord Shao's forces. Their leader is either dead or incarcerated. Only a handful managed to flee!"
