Chapter 866: Ms.Zhang’s Embarra.s.sment

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ms. Niu and Second Uncle felt a deep sense of embarra.s.sment.

They had allowed their prospective son-in-law to witness this chaotic situation, and it exposed their lack of self-esteem. They couldn’t find any words to undo what had already transpired.

Second Uncle composed himself, mustered a few kind words, and escorted Yu Xiaomiao out.

Soon, members from both the first and second sections of the family gathered in the hall. Ms. Niu directed her anger towards Ms. Zhang, using her as an outlet for her frustration. She raised her hand and delivered a harsh slap across Ms. Zhang’s face, causing her to stagger and fall.

“You wretched woman! I never should have kept you around! How despicable you are!”

Tears streamed down Ms. Zhang’s face as she covered her injured cheek.

Shao Erlang was taken aback by the scene and rushed forward to help Ms.

Zhang, but he was abruptly stopped by Ms. Niu’s stern command. “Stop! Don’t touch her!”

“Mom… What did she do? What are you doing? And what about you?” Shao Erlang questioned, bewildered by the situation.

Ms. Niu felt pain coursing through her body, both physically and emotionally. It was only because of Ms. Zhang’s actions that she found herself in this situation.

“Ask her yourself! You wicked woman. You’re a troublemaker!”

Shao Erlang was still grappling with confusion. “Mom, perhaps there’s been a misunderstanding?”

Ms. Fang let out a disdainful snort before slowly recounting the entire story. Only Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan, Qi, and Taotao were aware of it prior to this revelation. The rest of the family members were shocked by the revelation.

They all cast scornful glances at Ms. Zhang.

If the story was true, Ms. Zhang’s actions were incredibly malicious!

Ms. Yan felt a chill run down her spine. If Ms. Zhang were to remain in the family, she would insist on living separately, no matter what!

She refused to share a roof with such a woman…

For fear that she might be harmed in her sleep…

Shao Erlang was taken aback, his eyes widening as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. Turning pale, he staggered backward a few steps.

“You…”

“No, Erlang, no! You have to believe me! I never said those things! I never instigated Meiling. She’s lying!”

Ms. Zhang cursed inwardly at Shao Meiling, Ms. Niu, and Second Uncle. They were all utterly useless.

They had failed at such a simple task!

If only they had been a little more competent and successful, it would have been the first section of the family who would be in tears right now, not her!

Ms. Zhang refused to admit that she was the mastermind behind the idea.

Through tears, she pleaded, “I’ve returned, but none of you like me. You all despise me. I can’t defend myself, but why do you continue to heap accusations upon me? I don’t have the courage to say such things. Furthermore, if you force me to shoulder the blame, I would never be able to shake it off! Erlang, you have to believe me!”

“What are you saying! You taught me everything!” Shao Meiling was consumed with rage, lunging towards Ms. Zhang, attempting to strike her.

Shao Erlang intervened, stopping Shao Meiling. “Meiling, calm down! No violence!”

“Second Brother!” Shao Meiling angrily pushed his hand away, snapping back. “She did it! She taught me everything! If it weren’t for her, I would never have conceived of such an idea! But she refuses to confess! And now she’s making me take the blame! Step aside, I’m going to kill her!” Ms. Zhang sobbed, her voice filled with sorrow.

Shao Erlang found himself caught in the middle, his expression filled with bitterness. Yet, he still positioned himself between Shao Meiling and his wife. “Meiling, the Second Sister-in-law did make a mistake in the past, but you can’t solely hold her accountable.. You need… you need evidence!”
