Ms. Niu and Second Uncle sighed repeatedly, feeling distressed and helpless.
Shao Meiling, on the other hand, was seething with anger and disappointment upon hearing the outcome. She cried incessantly and threw tantrums, declaring that she would rather die than marry into the Yu Family.
She couldn’t bear to see Shao Taotao living a better life than her!
Nis. Niu and Second Uncle were somewhat swayed by their daughter’s intense reaction. Their already negative opinion of the marriage worsened as they witnessed her emotional turmoil.
But if the first section of the family refused to offer any assistance, what options did they have?
The couple frowned, constantly mulling over the dire situation.
Meanwhile, Ms. Zhang couldn’t help but sneer inwardly, reveling in the chaos that had befallen the family, thanks to her cunning manipulation.
Feeling a surge of arrogance, she concluded that her mother-in-law’s family was utterly foolish, oblivious to being deceived.
Encouraged by her perceived superiority, Ms. Zhang grew bolder and conceived another idea.
“…The Yu Family doesn’t want to break off the engagement because they see our family as promising, hoping to gain benefits from us. But you are Fifth Cousin’s cousin, and Taotao is his real sister. If he could marry Taotao, I believe the Yu Family would gladly accept.”
“What are you implying? Do you think I’m inferior to Taotao?”
Shao Meiling snapped.
Ms.Zhang said, “Absolutely not! You’ve misunderstood me. 1 believe you are far superior to Taotao! What I meant was that the Yu Family would see marrying Taotao as a more advantageous arrangement for them, as they could benefit more from it.’
Shao Meiling snorted, clearly displeased with the situation.
However, she reluctantly admitted that Ms. Zhangs assessment had some truth to it.
“But don’t mock us any further. Elder Aunt would never allow Taotao to marry into the Yu Family. They aren’t that kind-hearted!” They would never allow Taotao to replace her as the bride.
She had never even entertained the thought.
A sinister smile crept across Ms. Zhangs face as she sneered, “But what if that man from the Yu Family forces something upon Taotao… and Taotao has no choice but to marry him?”
Shao Meiling was taken aback, her eyes widening with curiosity. “Tell me more! ”
Ms. Zhang spoke in a mysterious tone, “Yu Xiaomiao is coming here to bring us gifts, right? Let’s gather the first section of the family and the third section of the family for a dinner. And when they have some drinks…”
Shao Meiling was surprised, a newfound understanding dawning upon her. “l see! Enlighten me further!”
That seemed like a viable solution.
Since the first section of the family had refused to help them and had effectively ruined her life, Shao Meiling felt no remorse towards them. She warned Ms. Zhang, “Never speak a word about this to anyone, ever!”
Shao Meiling understood that it was not an honorable plan to be proud of, and it should remain a secret.
Ms. Zhang agreed, knowing that discretion was crucial.
Shao Meiling approached Ms. Niu with a sense of satisfaction, her confidence bolstered.
Ms. Niu was taken aback upon hearing Shao Meilings idea.
But as she contemplated the situation, she realized something profound— It was a brilliant idea!
Wasn’t it too harsh on Taotao? Well, Ms. Fang had been cruel to them first, and they were merely reciprocating. The first section of the family had started it, and now the second section of the family would return the favor.
Since Ms. Fang had believed that the Yu Family was a suitable match, why not have Taotao marry into the Yu Family? It would be a perfect fit, wouldn’t it?
Ms. Niu pondered over the idea, considering the best course of action. They needed a well-thought-out plan to ensure they wouldn’t be caught by the first section of the family. Every detail had to be carefully executed, leaving no traces behind.
Furthermore, they needed to establish a cooperative relationship with the Yu Family, ensuring that Yu Xiaomiao would be on board with their plan.
Ms. Niu had no doubts about the outcome.. The Yu Family would not be foolish enough to reject a marriage proposal for Shao Yunduan’s younger sister!
