Chapter 2168: Wait A Little More
Bai Ruirui assud that Shao Sanlang was clueless, unaware that a similar incident had occurred back in Shaoding Village. Shao Sanlang, however, wasn’t naive and could easily discern her thoughts.
Yang Xiaoni refrained from publicly confronting her, fearing Bai Ruirui’s persistence in seeking an explanation for allegedly tarnishing her reputation. Xiaoni’s adept handling of the situation hinted at her prior experiences.
Fan Ruyin found herself at a loss for words.
She believed that their predicant transcended re familial status or fate. The future success of the Shao Family seed assured, making them formidable adversaries despite their current status.
Was divine intervention at play, shielding and favoring them? Otherwise, why were circumstances so unfavorable?
Lord Shao’s rustic deanor posed an unexpected challenge. Was he truly so formidable?
Fan Ruyin’s complaints left Old Lady Fan feeling uneasy.
Even in private, the atmosphere grew tense…
Left with no alternative, Old Lady Fan voiced her frustration. “The Shao Family is utterly insufferable!”
How could they tolerate such a stubborn rustic?
Fan Ruyin concurred with the plan.
She suggested to Old Lady Fan that they et Mada Shao directly and propose the idea. Surely, Mada Shao wouldn’t decline such a favorable opportunity, right?
Old Lady Fan, however, expressed skepticism.
She had co to realize that the Shao Family operated differently from others.
Their nurous setbacks hinted that what might be advantageous for other families could prove otherwise for the Shaos.
If Mada Shao rejected their proposal, it would only bring further ridicule upon the Fan Family.
Moreover, Old Lady Fan found herself unable to muster the courage to approach Mada Shao.
Reflecting on the situation, it seed sowhat amusing.
Upon learning of Mada Shao’s presence in Anze Prefecture City, Old Lady Fan had sought to befriend her.
Believing herself to be sowhat of an elder in Mada Shao’s eyes, she had assud that a woman of Mada Shao’s background couldn’t possibly understand their predicant. Old Lady Fan had envisioned ingratiating herself with Mada Shao, hoping to influence Lord Shao through his mother’s approval.
When Qiao Xuan was still in Anze Province, Old Lady Fan refrained from acting impulsively, but she initiated her plan a few days after his departure.
To her surprise, her previously assured strategy was swiftly overturned.
Mada Shao displayed unexpected astuteness and refused to be manipulated. Old Lady Fan found herself unable to extract a single candid remark from her, let alone lead her astray.
Furthermore, Mada Shao seed to grasp Old Lady Fan’s intentions and responded to her indirectly, indicating a subtle but palpable confrontation between them.
Disinterested in engaging further, Old Lady Fan abandoned her sche.
What other recourse did she have? Demand a direct confrontation with Mada Shao? Even if Mada Shao were to engage, Old Lady Fan would find herself outmatched.
Mada Shao, with her keen intellect and unfavorable impression of Old Lady Fan, was unlikely to agree to send the girl to her household as a concubine.
Consulting her son Lord Shao’s opinion would only result in humiliation!
However, could the Fan Clan simply relinquish their efforts?
That was inconceivable!
Once this marriage was sealed, the Fan family would ascend to the status of imperial relatives in the future. The prospect of limitless wealth would be assured, and they would be elevated in the eyes of the small Anze Prefecture City community.
All they needed to do was to take this decisive step, to ensure its successful culmination!
