Chapter 853: Unethical

Translator: Henyee Translations   Editor: Henyee Translations

Eldest Uncle felt a sense of pity for Shao Meiling, unaware that Ms. Zhang had influenced her with the idea.

He had intended to interject, but halted upon hearing Ms. Fangs words. It was clear that this couple had come to their doorstep not seeking the help of

ordinary people like him and Ms. Fang, but rather aiming for Yunduan’s assistance.

As he contemplated this, Eldest Uncle grew increasingly uneasy, realizing that they were trying to manipulate Yunduan into using his limited authority to retaliate against the other family. This deeply troubled him.

Such behavior was unquestionably unethical.

“That’s not what we mean!” Second Uncle and Ms. Niu didn’t dare to admit it. “This marriage isn’t a good match, and we have every right to call it off. We even offered to pay them back 10 liang, but they still refuse to let go! Now the whole situation has become public, and Meiling will suffer greatly if she marries into that family!”

“Elder Brother, Elder Sister-in-law, you’ve seen Meiling grow up. You can’t just abandon her like this, can you?”

Ms. Fang sneered. “But you are the ones who created this mess. It’s utterly unreasonable to expect us to take over and clean it up!”

Elder Uncle carefully pondered the situation before speaking up. “Ms. Fang, let’s calm ourselves down. There’s no use complaining when things have already reached this point. We need to come up with a solution to prevent Meilings life from being ruined!”

“True, Elder Brother is right!” Nis. Niu and Second Uncle nodded in agreement.

Ms. Fang sneered inwardly, convinced that Meilings life was already in ruins. If only Meiling had the capacity to comprehend it, she would have despised her parents for their actions.

Ms. Fang chimed in, “What if Ms. Qiao and I accompany you to the Yu Family and help you reconcile, so that the two families can reunite?”

“No, no, that wouldn’t work!”

“Why not?”

“Meiling will be subjected to bullying in such a situation.”

“Then let the Yu Family make a promise. Yunduan should be able to help you. We can all live in peace, and if anyone bullies Meiling and the news reaches us, we won’t forgive them for it.”

Elder Uncle’s eyes lit up, and he added, “I think it’s a good idea. Whenever you have the opportunity, ask Meiling how she feels about it. We will seek justice for any girls who are bullied, within our family, of course!”

“If Meiling faces any mistreatment, Yunduan can step in. What do you think, brother and sister-in-law? I believe it’s a reasonable solution. The Yu Family isn’t foolish enough to intentionally harm Meiling!’

Ms. Niu and Second Uncle exchanged a bewildered glance with each other.

This wasn’t what they had intended!

They had wanted to break off the engagement!

However, Ms. Fang had already spoken resolutely, and Elder Uncle had agreed. Shao Yunduan would likely heed his parents’ advice as well.

Ms. Niu and Second Uncle gritted their teeth in anger, their words failing them.

“Elder Brother and Elder Sister-in-law are so heartless. They must have deliberately orchestrated this. They don’t want a bright future for Meiling!’

“This is all your fault! Why did you rush into making a decision about Meilings engagement?”

“Damn you! Meiling is no longer a child. She’s old enough to have suitors. I had no idea that Yunduan would become a Provincial Champion or hold an official position! If I had known, 1 would have called off the engagement. It’s all because of Elder Sister-in-law concealing everything from us!”
