Chapter 1769: End of Conversation Chapter 1769: End of Conversation Editor: Henyee Translations âYou intend to exploit Yunduanâs situation now?
What were your earlier sentiments?â Ms.
Fang sneered.
âYou canât equate the two!
Thereâs a vast disparity between a cousin and a close kin.
Moreover, if Young Master Zhao isnât inclined, he isnât inclined.
Yunduan lacks the authority to coerce him, so why intervene?
Iâm not disparaging Xiaozhi, but is she truly suitable for Young Master Zhao?
Comparing her to our Taotao is laughable!â âDo you believe Young Master Zhao is naive?
I once thought you had a sensible mind, but your judgment seems clouded!â Shao Liulang felt his temper flare.
One day, he vowed silentlyââŹÂŚ He collected himself with a deep breath, forcing a smile.
âElder Aunt, your eloquence surpasses mine.
I concede defeat.
Letâs refrain from discussing this further.
I beseech Elder Aunt and Uncle to attend to Xiaozhiâs welfare and arrange a suitable marriage for her.
Please, fulfill my request.â Regardless, Shao Xiaozhi had suffered humiliation due to this affair.
Her matrimonial prospects might face hurdles.
Naturally, she would marry eventually.
It was inconceivable for Shao family daughters not to wed.
Indeed, even the singles of Shaoding Village were sought after.
Shao Liulang aspired for Shao Xiaozhi to wed into a prestigious household.
Ms.
Fang nodded.
âCertainly, provided your parents consent, numerous suitable matches abound!â Indeed, it was the reality.
Shao Liulang, âââŹÂŚâ âIf Xiaozhiâs betrothal is arranged, Elder Aunt, ensure she stands proudly.
A generous dowry will ensure her esteem in societyââŹÂŚâ Shao Liulang, fearing misunderstanding, clarified his intentions to Ms.
Fang.
He extended his hand to request her dowry.
Ms.
Fang smiled and assented, âFear not, Xiaozhi is my niece, and she shall receive her dowry!
We can spare a few thousand taels of silver.â âHowever, convey to your parents the importance of avoiding further trouble and refraining from spreading rumors.
Otherwise, they may find my door shut to them.â Though the third branch of the family was somewhat deserving of repercussions, the engagement of Taotao and Young Master Zhao would subject Shao Xiaozhi to ridicule.
Ms.
Fang was inclined to extend her support to Shao Xiaozhi, even at the expense of the first branch of the family.
Ms.
Fang would feel remorseful if Shao Xiaozhi faced mockery and jeopardized her marriage.
For Ms.
Fang, it was a matter of karma, and she felt compelled to act.
She couldnât simply ignore the negative consequences.
Now that prosperity had visited the family, Qiao Xuan had generously shared the familyâs wealth.
Ms.
Fang could afford to provide Shao Xiaozhi with one or two thousand taels of silver, fine jewelry, and quality attire.
Shao Liulang finally achieved a modicum of success with his request, prompting a sigh of relief.
âOh, by the way, didnât Young Master Zhao mention he was already betrothed?
Why the sudden change?â âAunt Qing, the emissary from Zhao Shu, clarified that it was a misunderstanding, and his previous family hadnât arranged any marriage for him.
He was mistaken.
However, even if there were no misunderstanding, he wouldnât marry Xiaozhi.â With nothing further to add, Shao Liulang took his leave.
Upon learning of the first branchâs willingness to provide Shao Xiaozhi with a substantial dowry, Third Uncle and Madam Ma found some solace.
