Indeed, the intricacies of a marriage are often invisible to those outside of it. Only the couple themselves truly understand what goes on within their relationship.
Each person must live their own life, making choices that are best for them.
In light of these events, Ms. Fangs concern for Taotao grew.
Qiao Xuan reassured her with a smile. “Don’t worry, Mom. We come from different sections of the family. If anyone assumes we are the same, we don’t need to consider such a suitor. Trust me, Taotao will surely marry a good man!”
Ms. Fang found some solace in these words.
However, Ms. Niu did not anticipate that the Yu Family would spread the news, causing her immense anger. She vented her frustration through vehement curses at home.
Shao Meiling was consumed by anger, constantly shedding tears within the confines of her home.
Ms. Niu and Second Uncle sought help from Ms. Fang and Elder Uncle.
“Brother, Sister-in-law, you must help us…”
Ms. Niu’s tearful plea only fueled Ms. Fangs fury.
“What right do you have to cry? This is all your own fault! If you didn’t want to go through with the marriage, you shouldn’t have arranged it in the first place. No one forced you into this!”
“You exchanged birth dates and even set a wedding date. And now you break it off? It’s highly unethical! The Yu Family is a good family that has been humiliated. Of course, they are upset. Wouldn’t you be upset in their position?”
“l didn’t want to! But it’s all your fault!” Ms. Niu snapped at Ms. Fang. “If you had informed us that Yunduan would achieve such success, we wouldn’t have arranged a marriage for Meiling! But you purposely concealed the truth, and you don’t even want Taotao to find a suitor. You must have done that intentionally! ”
“You!” Ms. Fang was infuriated by these accusations.
“Whether Yunduan would become a Recommended man was uncertain for everyone. What nonsense are you spouting? It’s utterly ridiculous!”
“And I haven’t found a suitor for Taotao because I don’t think she should get married right now! How is that even relevant? Any more nonsense like this, and I’ll slap it right across your face!”
Ms. Niu’s eyes widened, clearly unconvinced, but she chose not to engage in further argument.
Times had changed. After Shao Yunduan became the Provincial Champion. The second branch of the family was no longer as confrontational as before. They might still be bothersome, but not as forceful.
However, Second Uncle chimed in. “Elder Sister-in-law, let it go. It’s already over. But you must help Meiling, or her life will be ruined!”
“Yes, that’s exactly what 1 mean! The Yu Family is nothing but bullies! They’re spreading these stories just to tarnish Meilings reputation. They were never a suitable match anyway!’
“Absolutely true! ”
Seeing the couple agree with each other in a reasonable manner, Ms. Fang was too exhausted to make any further complaints.
The room fell into a heavy silence.
Even Eldest Uncle, who had always held his brothers in high regard, was visibly flushed with anger.
Clearly, the blame rested with the second branch of the family.
Ms. Fang regarded them with disdain.
“So, your daughter is the only one with a reputation to protect? What about their son? You exchanged birth dates, and the wedding date was about to be finalized. And now, you want to break off the engagement? How can that be considered reasonable?”
Furthermore, they seemed to be expecting Shao Yunduan to come to their defense, as if he held some influence.
Ms. Fang retorted, “You initiated the engagement, so it’s your responsibility. You have to resolve the matter with the Yu Family yourselves. We can’t be of any assistance.. And neither can Yunduan! What do you expect from him? To use his position to bully the weak? He would never engage in such unethical behavior!’
