“What? No way!’
“But that’s how it should be.”
“I’ll be so humiliated!”
Nir. Yu shouted in anger, “You talk about humiliation? Xiaomiao is right. We should inform Provincial Champion Shao about this. It’s their family matter, and we shouldn’t interfere. We can break off the engagement and demand compensation of no less than 10 liang. Not a penny less.”
They didn’t like the way things had turned out, but it was pointless to continue.
They could gain a new daughter-in-law with the compensation.
However, Yu Xiaomiao had his own plan.
“We’ll see…
Mr. Yu understood his child. He had his own ideas, so he didn’t press the matter further.
Besides, he didn’t want to discuss it any longer. His son could do as he pleased, as long as he didn’t blame his parents for it. It was good that he wasn’t as confused as his mother, so he didn’t go overboard.
As evening fell, Yu Xiaomiao went to the first section of the Shao Family.
Recognizing him, Ms. Fang put on a friendly expression and invited him inside.
Ms. Fang felt a twinge of guilt about the humiliation caused by the second section of the family.
Yu Xiaomiao mentioned that he had a few private words to speak with Provincial Champion Shao, which should remain between them. Ms. Fang was puzzled, but she still went to ask Shao Yunduan.
Shao Yunduan invited Yu Xiaomiao to join him in the study, where Qiao Xuan was already present.
As Ms. Fang was about to leave, Yu Xiaomiao smiled at her and gestured for her to stay.
It was an awkward and embarrassing situation, and Yu Xiaomiao stumbled over the story.
Ms. Fangs anger flared up as she snapped, “How dare she! Ah!! How dare she!
She intends to frame Taotao! She’s insane! I’ll make sure she pays for this!”
Qiao Xuan intervened, “Mom, don’t get worked up. She won’t succeed. She should be the one feeling angry, not us.”
“I knew it! How could she suddenly be so generous and invite us all to dinner?
She wants to carry out her plan when there are many people present!”
Qiao Xuan began to piece it all together. It had been confusing for them as well.
No wonder they say that when rules are broken, something is amiss.
Yu Xiaomiao soon finished explaining the story. “I apologize for my mother’s confusion. My father and I didn’t think it was a good idea at all. That’s why we decided to inform you about this. Perhaps it’s better this way. I’m sorry…”
Ms. Fangs gratitude towards Yu Xiaomiao grew. She said, “We a_re indebted to you! If not for your revelation, we would have been framed! I apologize and thank you!’
“That’s what we should do! Alright then… I should be on my way!’
As it was getting late, Ms. Fang and Shao Yunduan escorted Yu Xiaomiao out.
Upon returning to the study, Ms. Fang was seething with anger, wishing she could confront Ms. Niu right away.
“Yunduan, Qiao Xuan, what do you think?”
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged glances, and after a moment, Shao Yunduan spoke up, “We have only heard Yu Xiaomiao’s account, and we cannot be certain of the truth.’
Ms. Fang was taken aback, her brows furrowing. “I don’t believe he is lying.
It’s just like something your Second Aunt-in-law would do!”
Yu Xiaomiao!s story brought back so many memories for her.
Qiao Xuan explained with a smile, “Mom, my husband means that regardless of our intentions, we shouldn’t blindly trust the words of one person. We should investigate and gather more information, or we might easily fall victim to framing..”
