Maybe Meiling could marry into an official’s family and become the wife of an official! This idea further fueled Ms. Niu’s determination. She was determined to make it happen, no matter what.
However, when Mrs. Yu shared the plan with her husband and Yu Xiaomiao, they exchanged a glance and immediately dismissed the idea.
Nir. Yu even criticized Mrs. Yu for entertaining such a ridiculous notion.
“…Ms. Niu’s idea is preposterous. Why are you even considering it? Provincial Champion Shao is a highly intelligent individual who can see through such schemes. Regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not, we would antagonize many people. The second section of the family is his own family, and he wouldn’t target them. But we are outsiders. Have you thought about the consequences?”
Mrs. Yu remained unconvinced. “But Shao Taotao will be our daughter-in-law, and we are family as well. The first section of the family wouldn’t harm their own daughter! We’re not greedy people; we just want to live a decent life, that’s all!”
Yu Xiaomiao sneered. “Mom, he is the Provincial Champion and possesses various means to deal with us. If they seek revenge by ruining our siblings… do you have any control over that?”
The Yu Family could never bear such consequences.
Mrs. Yu’s expression changed. “No, it’s impossible. We will be relatives by that time, and they would never stoop so low.”
“Of course they would. Have you not heard what happened to the Zhao Family?”
Mrs. Yu fell silent, her face turning pale.
Indeed, she was well aware of the circ.u.mstances surrounding the Zhao Family.
Not everyone was oblivious to the truth. Young Master Zhao had some inkling about the first section of the Shao family’s daughter-in-law, and soon after, they mysteriously vanished. People began to connect the dots and realized that there must have been some connection.
The downfall of the Zhao Family was evident. They deserved punishment, but the extent of the retribution seemed excessive.
No one dared to question the Shao Family’s actions. No one dared to voice
their approval either.
Mrs. Yu remained stubborn, speaking through gritted teeth. “But Taotao will be our daughter-in-law, and if they dare lay a finger on my son and daughter, I will make sure their daughter learns a lesson! It’s only fair, as 1 would be her mother-in-law!”
Yu Xiaomiao sneered even more, his anger evident in his voice. “You’re really willing to entertain that thought, Mom? If you retaliate against their daughter, they could take it out on me! They might even divorce us! Provincial Champion Shao is on the path to becoming an official, and even if he doesn’t, the Shao Family has many influential members who would never allow their sister to be mistreated!”
Mrs. Yu opened her mouth to respond but found herself at a loss for words. It was true…
In reality, she was merely playing with empty threats. She lacked the courage to actually confront anyone.
Mr. Yu’s glare intensified. “Now you realize how wrong you were, don’t you?
How could you agree to such a plan? I never knew you could be like this!”
Mrs. Yu felt her heart shatter but found herself unable to respond. She murmured, “But I already made a promise to Ms. Niu…”
Father and son continued to glare at her, their disappointment evident.
She gathered her courage and straightened her back. “Why are you glaring at me like that? I’m doing this for Xiaomiao and for the sake of our family…”
Mr. Yu furrowed his brow, contemplating that once Xiaomiao got married, they should live separately. The two sons should reside in different places. They would live with their eldest son, whose wife would be in charge. Mrs. Yu would have no authority and would simply take care of her grandson and do some household ch.o.r.es. That would be her role.
She couldn’t be in a position of authority, or it would lead to trouble.
Yu Xiaomiao interjected, “That’s your problem.. I’m going to the Shaoding Village to inform the first section of the family about this!”
