More importantly, she refused to live in the shadow of Shao Taotao for the rest of her life!
She might not have the advantage of having an official brother like Shao Taotao, which was beyond her control. However, she couldn’t accept being significantly inferior to Shao Taotao.
Couldn’t she at least enjoy the leftovers from Shao Taotao’s rich at soup?
She simply couldn’t settle for rough food when she had the chance for sothing better.
Seeing Shao ilings apparent interest, Ms. Zhang felt a sense of satisfaction. She continued to flatter Shao iling, who slowly began to believe that she truly deserved soone better.
However, Ms. Zhang soon urged Shao iling to keep their conversation a secret.
“…You know, I’ve made so foolish mistakes in the past, and my mother-in-law despises . If she finds out that I shared this solution with you, she would reject it no matter what. It wouldn’t be in your best interest, would it?”
Shao iling instantly gave Ms. Zhang a disdainful look upon hearing her confession. She snorted. “Of course not. I want nothing to do with you!’ Being associated with Ms. Zhang would only bring her misfortune!
Ms. Zhang felt a surge of annoyance, but she quickly forced an embarrassed smile. “You’re right, sister. That’s how it should be… I understand.”
Ms. Zhang sneered inwardly. The Yu Family would certainly not break off the engagent. Only fools did that. She eagerly anticipated the unfolding drama.
If they didn’t allow her to live a peaceful life, she wouldn’t let them have one either.
As expected, Shao iling went to Ms. Niu and tearfully announced that she no longer wanted to marry into the Yu Family. She cried and vented her grievances.
Then, Shao iling revealed to Ms. Niu what she had learned from Ms. Zhang, leaving Ms. Niu filled with regret and hesitation.
If only she had known that Shao Yunduan would beco the Provincial
Champion, she wouldn’t have rushed to find a suitor for Shao iling so soon.
Once Shao Yunduan achieved the title of Advanced Scholar and obtained an official position, there would surely be nurous better families for them to consider…
Nis. Niu felt a deep sense of regret as these thoughts consud her. She began to question whether the Yu Family was truly suitable for them.
She also expressed her grievances toward the first section of the family.
The first section of the family should have known about Shao Yunduan’s talent and potential to beco a recomnded candidate. Yet, Ms. Fang remained silent. How terrible!
And as for their Elder Brother, all he did was talk without taking any action. He failed to provide them with any updates or information, nearly jeopardizing ilings future…
Nis. Niu pondered over the situation repeatedly, feeling confused and troubled. Eventually, she sought out her Second Uncle and asked for his advice.
Second Uncle blad her, stating that the engagent had already been arranged and the wedding was scheduled to take place shortly after the New Year, or at the latest, by the end of the following year. Breaking off the engagent so easily would tarnish their daughter’s reputation.
However, Second Uncle fell silent after hearing Ms. Niu’s analysis. After so contemplation, he responded, “Breaking off the engagent doesn’t seem like an easy task. The Yu Family is eager to beco our in-laws, and they are unlikely to agree to it.”
Ms. Niu grew increasingly frustrated. “Yu Xiaomiao is no longer worthy of being our daughter’s spouse. It shouldn’t be up to them whether they want to continue or not. We can offer them so money to end the engagent.”
Although typically frugal with money, Ms. Niu believed that securing a better marital prospect for her daughter was worth the expense.
Convinced, Second Uncle agreed, saying, “Alright then, find a trustworthy person who can negotiate with the Yu Family regarding the cancellation of the engagent. Just state that the bride and groom’s horoscopes do not align, and it is best to call it off.”
“That sounds reasonable! And what about the money…”
“Mm…” Second Uncle hesitated when it ca to reimbursing the money they had received.. “How about five liang? Or perhaps ten? No, eight liang should suffice! “
