Chapter 868: Not Family Any More

Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

Ms. Fang was adamant about obtaining a satisfactory resolution.

Ms. Niu and Second Uncle were shocked and couldn’t let the first section of the family handle the situation alone. They brought along Shao Meiling and had Nis. Zhang escorted while they ascended together with Shao Erlang.

When the Land Officer and the elderly men from the clan gathered and heard the story, they were all taken aback and began lecturing the second section of the family.

Naturally, they defended the first section of the family more, as their actions had been quite vicious and self-centered, impossible to ignore.

Ms. Niu and Second Uncle felt deeply embarra.s.sed by the situation.

They could have argued if it were something else, but Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle had overheard the conversation with Yu Xiaomiao as a witness—it was solid evidence.

Ms. Niu pushed Ms. Zhang to the ground, labeling her as the culprit.

She trusted her own daughter, and at this point, Ms. Zhang had to shoulder the blame regardless of the circ.u.mstances.

Considering Ms. Zhang had done something similar in the past, almost everyone present believed Shao Meiling and Ms. Niu.

Ms. Niu continued to shout that they would divorce Ms. Zhang once again.

She made a fierce vow, stating that they wouldn’t have treated the first section of the family in such a manner if it hadn’t been for Ms. Zhangs plan. None of this would have happened without her as the culprit.

Thus, they sincerely hoped that the first section of the family would forgive them.

Nis. Zhang continued to cry incessantly.

As someone who had done something similar before, and with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law accusing her directly, she had no argument to counter.

However, they were still a family, and Ms. Niu’s decision had nothing to do with the Land Officer and the elderly men from the clan.

But the second section of the family had almost caused harm to the first section of the family. Thankfully, Taotao was unharmed. The others offered a few consoling words, and while the two sections of the family wouldn’t completely sever their relationship, a lingering grudge remained between them. From that moment onward, the first section of the family would no longer consider the second section as part of their family, treating them instead as an ordinary family from the same clan.

Second Uncle and Ms. Niu pleaded for forgiveness.

“No, no! We are a family bound by blood! We’re not just an ordinary family from the clan!”

“Elder Brother, please say something! You won’t approve of this, right? You promised our parents that you would take care of us!”

“Why are you begging him? He’s the most vicious and cruel man!”

“If you hadn’t refused to help us break off the engagement, we wouldn’t have resorted to this! You’re heartless!”

Eldest Uncle let out a heavy sigh, and Ms. Fang, Shao Yunduan, Shao Sanlang, and even Shao Dalang looked at him expressionlessly.

Tears welling up in her eyes, Taotao spoke, “What do you have to say, Dad? In your eyes, you prioritize Second Uncle and Third Uncle’s families, and their children are treated so well. You protect and a.s.sist them all the time, but what about me? Why am I not your niece but just your daughter?”

Eldest Uncle turned pale and stumbled back.

“What are you saying?” Ms. Fang grabbed hold of Taotao, as she coldly addressed Eldest Uncle, “You are my beloved daughter, and I love you. Your brothers and sisters-in-law all love and protect you! We will never forgive anyone who tries to bully you!’

Qiao Xuan could no longer tolerate the situation. She calmly stated, “The second section of the family attempted to harm Taotao today, and if we don’t delve deeper into this, they may try to harm someone else tomorrow. If I can’t obtain a satisfactory answer from the resolution, I will have to take matters into my own hands to vent my anger. I love Taotao, and I will never allow her to suffer.’

Ms.. Niu screamed, “What do you mean?!”
