Ms. Fang comprehended the message. “l understand. You’re advising me not to act impulsively!’

She knew Ms. Niu’s character, but what if someone else was involved? If she blindly believed that person and acted rashly, she could have made a grave mistake!

Things were different now!

She may have made mistakes in the past, but what if her son was implicated this time?

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Mom, you’re so perceptive! It’s just a gentle reminder.”

Ms. Fang sighed, a smile forming on her face. “Then remind me as much as you can. I’ll keep them all in mind.”

Shao Yunduan glanced at Qiao Xuan with a tender expression. Having a wife who understood him and stood by his side brought him a happiness he couldn’t find elsewhere.

After a moment, Ms. Fang clenched her teeth. “But I believe this is exactly what your Second Aunt-in-law would do!”

“Let’s catch her in the act,” suggested Shao Yunduan. “Confronting her now wouldn’t yield any admission. We have no evidence. She would likely accuse Yu Xiaomiao of harboring resentment over the broken engagement and attempting to frame her. It would only complicate matters further.” Ms. Fang felt a wave of enlightenment. “That’s absolutely true!”

Ms. Niu’s actions were indeed predictable.

“Alright… then let’s catch her in the act. Should we inform Taotao about this so she can be prepared?”

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan exchanged a glance, and Shao Yunduan nodded. “Yes, we should let her know. We’ll discuss the plan further tomorrow. But let’s keep this information from Dad for now.”

Shao Yunduan couldn’t rely on his father, who often seemed oblivious to such matters.

Ms. Fang chuckled. “Of course not! He would never believe us. He’d go console the second section of the family, fearing they might be wrongly accused.

Haha!”

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged a bemused look as Ms. Fang left the room.

Shao Yunduan’s expression turned serious as he sighed, massaging his forehead.

Things would have been much simpler if he hadn’t decided to pursue a career as an official. He now had to consider numerous factors, and it was hard to determine if his family might become the target of some conspiracy.

Thankfully, his mother possessed a clear mind.

Qiao Xuan sighed. “Yu Xiaomiao seems like a level-headed person. Shao

Meiling is fortunate to marry him, and it’s surprising that the Second

Aunt-in-law refuses to believe it!”

Shao Yunduan smiled. “I’m not sure what makes her so confident.’

Qiao Xuan pondered for a moment and smiled as he asked, “Yu Xiaomiao is quite intriguing. I believe he still wants to marry Meiling. What do you think?”

Shao Yunduan nodded, a grin forming on his face. “It would be ideal if he marries Shao Meiling. He seems capable of keeping her in check.”

As cousins from the second and first sections of the family, Shao Meiling was known for her strong-willed and outspoken nature. Once she was married, it would be challenging to rein her in. If someone were to try and manipulate her, she might even become a force to be reckoned with.

If her husband possessed the ability to manage her and handle situations wisely, it would make things much smoother. Otherwise, they could face considerable trouble in the future.

When that time came, it might not be possible for the first section of the family to remain uninvolved.

Shao Yunduan was delighted to assist Shao Meiling in marrying into the Yu Family, rather than allowing her to choose an uncertain partner.

The Second Aunt-in-law opposed this potential son-in-law, hoping that Taotao would take over instead. However, Shao Yunduan had no intention of allowing that to happen. He wanted to show her the consequences of her actions, to make her understand the meaning of “reaping what you sow.”

They engaged in a lengthy discussion about the plan before finally retiring for the night..
