Qiao Xuan’s smile was fleeting. “We will repay you in the same way you hurt us.”
Nis. Niu was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
Qiao Xuan continued, “We will employ the same methods you used against us.”
Ms. Niu, Second Uncle, and Shao Erlang all turned pale. “That won’t work! It’s impossible! ”
Ms. Fang sneered. “You can frame us, but we can’t do the same to you? That doesn’t sound fair.’
Second Uncle and Ms. Niu were left dumbfounded.
Indeed, they could frame the first section of the family because they believed Eldest Uncle would always defend them, giving them the freedom to do as they pleased.
Their best course of action now was to offer an apology.
However, what if the first section of the family didn’t like them and wanted to frame them in return?
They would be incapable of defending themselves.
They had never considered this before. It had never occurred to them that while they devised various schemes to torment the first section of the family, the same tactics could be used against them. Second Uncle and Ms. Niu couldn’t help but tremble.
Qiao Xuan stopped looking at them.
Eldest Uncle felt a profound sense of despair but dared not utter a word.
He had no control over Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, Ms. Fang, or anyone else in his family. One wrong word, and his brother’s family would face even harsher consequences.
Inwardly, he sighed—what had caused all of this?
This incident would be accurately recorded in the clan’s records.
The Land Officer had tried to conceal the entire affair to prevent their reputations from being tarnished.
But Shao Yunduan rejected the proposal. He urged the Land Officer to make the truth public.
He wanted everyone to clearly understand the true relationship between the first and second sections of the family, ensuring that the latter wouldn’t carry out any unpleasant acts under the guise of the former.
Second Uncle and Ms. Niu were furious but lacked the courage to say anything after hearing Qiao Xuan’s threat.
News of the incident quickly spread, shocking the entire village.
Many people criticized Ms. Niu for her foolishness—what was she thinking? It was fortunate that Taotao was unharmed. If something had happened to her, there would be no evidence to prove that Ms. Niu was responsible. However, the first section of the family would never forgive them either.
To make matters even more absurd, they even attempted to find a better suitor for Shao Meiling through Shao Yunduan! It was utterly ridiculous!
Upon returning home, Ms. Niu was consumed by anger. She slapped and kicked Nis. Zhang, shouting at Shao Erlang and demanding that he divorce her once again.
Ms. Zhang crumpled to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably with her head lowered.
Shao Erlang found himself torn. He knelt down and pleaded with his mother to forgive Ms. Zhang. There was no proof implicating her, and her tears genuinely made him feel sorry for her. She was his wife, and he didn’t want her to suffer from a false accusation.
He wouldn’t agree to divorce his wife based solely on the words of others.
Ms. Niu was filled with frustration, her heart aching. She cursed Shao Erlang for being ungrateful and cruel.
However, Ms. Zhang chose to stay despite everything that had transpired.
Ms. Niu and Second Uncle became increasingly concerned about Shao Meilings marriage.
Since Shao Meiling and Yu Xiaomiao had been alone in a room together, they were compelled to get married.
Now, they were apprehensive that the Yu Family might cancel the engagement.
After discussing the situation, the couple gathered their courage and sought support from the first section of the family. They approached Shao Yunduan, hoping he could assist and stand up for Shao Meiling..
