Third Uncle playfully teased Second Uncle. “Looks like your son-in-law has a low alcohol tolerance. He’s already drunk after just a little wine.”
“People have different drinking capacities. He’s drunk, so he needs some rest. We can continue celebrating,” Second Uncle replied with a smile.
He then turned to Shao Sanlang and said, “Shao Sanlang, help Yu Xiaomiao to the wing-room with Qi for some rest!”
Shao Sanlang and Qi were unaware of the situation but agreed to a.s.sist, helping Yu Xiaomiao up from his seat.
Ms. Niu stood up as well. “I’ll guide you in. Help him!”
Once Yu Xiaomiao was settled, Shao Sanlang and Qi returned to the hall, and Ms. Niu followed closely behind. She exchanged a few words in the kitchen, not to share any important information, but to provide Shao Meiling and Ms. Zhang with some subtle cues.
Ms. Niu walked briskly, feeling a sense of antic.i.p.ation. She was eager to witness the unfolding drama.
After completing her task, she planned to find an excellent match for her own daughter, making Taotao envious for the rest of her life.
Shao Meiling and Ms. Zhang exchanged a knowing glance and couldn’t help but feel pleased.
Soon, they finished their meal. Shao Meiling mentioned that she had something to discuss privately with Taotao. Shao Xiaozhi felt slightly displeased being left alone.
However, with Shao Meilings impending marriage, the cousins decided to set aside any grievances during this joyous occasion.
So Taotao followed Shao Meiling to another location.
Taotao’s heart sank, overcome by a chilling sense of unease.
If her mother hadn’t given her a warning beforehand, she would have been completely unprepared for this situation.
Shao Meiling glanced at Ms. Zhang as she led Taotao to the wing-room, wearing a smile. “l left my sewing needles and thread inside the room. Can you help me find them?”
Taotao gave her a complex look, a mixture of emotions swirling within her.
Deep down, she wished that Shao Meiling would feel remorse at this final moment.
Shao Meiling sensed the intensity of Taotao’s gaze, feeling a discomforting sensation. However, she quickly dismissed the feeling.
Taotao’s palms grew clammy with sweat.
Once inside the wing-room, Shao Meiling pretended to search for something and asked Taotao for a.s.sistance.
Soon, Ms. Zhang called Shao Meiling out of the room, and Shao Meiling instructed Taotao to continue searching while she stepped away momentarily.
The two women exchanged a conniving grin before parting ways.
Shao Meiling made her way back to the room, pretending to be oblivious to everything that was about to unfold.
Meanwhile, Ms. Zhang went to relay the message to Nis. Niu.
Once Ms. Niu received the message, she would know that everything had been set in motion.
Inside the wing-room, Yu Xiaomiao’s task was to embrace Taotao, unaware that she was not Shao Meiling. He wouldn’t be held accountable for his actions.
Ms. Niu’s face lit up with a bright smile upon seeing Ms. Zhang. She turned to Shao Sanlang and said, “Sanlang, could you please check on Xiaomiao? I’m feeling a little concerned!
Qi had already gone after the food was finished.
The first section of the family needed to witness this firsthand.
As soon as Shao Sanlang raised his voice, they would all rush in that direction.
Shao Sanlang agreed, setting his chopsticks down and leaving the table. Soon, a scream echoed through the air. “What’s happening here?”
“What’s going on? What happened to Sanlang? Let’s all go and see!”
Nis. Niu hurriedly dashed out of the hall.
Ms. Qiao, Shao Yunduan, and Ms. Fang, who were privy to the plan, could only shake their heads in disbelief.
Nis. Niu was certainly driven by her own motivation.
Ms. Fang sneered.. “Let’s all go and have a look!”
