Chapter 850: Regretful
....Translator: Henyee Translations| Editor: Henyee Translations
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 meat soup?
She simply couldn’t settle for rough food when she had the chance for something better.
Seeing Shao Meilings apparent interest, Ms. Zhang felt a sense of satisfaction. She continued to flatter Shao Meiling, who slowly began to believe that she truly deserved someone better.
However, Ms. Zhang soon urged Shao Meiling to keep their conversation a secret.
“…You know, I’ve made some foolish mistakes in the past, and my mother-in-law despises me. 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 Meiling instantly gave Ms. Zhang a disdainful look upon hearing her confession. She snorted. “Of course not. I want nothing to do with you!’ Being a.s.sociated with Ms. Zhang would only bring her misfortune!
Ms. Zhang felt a surge of annoyance, but she quickly forced an embarra.s.sed 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 engagement. Only fools did that. She eagerly antic.i.p.ated 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 Meiling 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 Meiling 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 become the Provincial
Champion, she wouldn’t have rushed to find a suitor for Shao Meiling so soon.
Once Shao Yunduan achieved the t.i.tle of Advanced Scholar and obtained an official position, there would surely be numerous better families for them to consider…
Nis. Niu felt a deep sense of regret as these thoughts consumed 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 become a recommended 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 Meilings 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 blamed her, stating that the engagement 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 engagement so easily would tarnish their daughter’s reputation.
However, Second Uncle fell silent after hearing Ms. Niu’s a.n.a.lysis. After some contemplation, he responded, “Breaking off the engagement doesn’t seem like an easy task. The Yu Family is eager to become 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 some money to end the engagement.”
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 engagement. 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 came to reimbursing the money they had received.. “How about five liang? Or perhaps ten? No, eight liang should suffice! “
