Ms. Fang and Elder Uncle departed, followed by Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, who exchanged a knowing glance before leaving as well.
Once they were gone, Ms. Niu snapped at Ms. Yan, “Go and join the first section of the family. Erlang and Silang, both of you, leave us!”
Ms. Yan was taken aback by her mother-in-law’s anger but understood that it was best to comply. She nodded and left the room.
“Mom…” Shao Erlang and Shao Silang hesitated, reluctant to leave. They were displeased with Yu Xiaomiao’s behavior and were curious about why Meiling was present and had fainted. It all seemed highly peculiar, and they wanted answers.
However, Second Uncle grew impatient. “Just get out of here! Stop murmuring! ”
The two brothers were startled but decided it was best to leave. They remained silent and exited the room, knowing that their parents would uncover the truth eventually. Their presence would be of little use at the moment.
Once the unrelated individuals had departed, Ms. Niu and Second Uncle turned to Yu Xiaomiao, their faces filled with anger.
“What are you doing here? What happened?”
“What did you just do? Why is Meiling here? Where is Taotao? She was supposed to be here,” Ms. Niu exclaimed, frustration evident in her voice.
Yu Xiaomiao had sobered up and spoke in a more composed manner. “How was I supposed to know? You instructed me to pretend to be drunk, and you would take care of the rest. You assured me that Taotao would be brought here so that 1 would be found in the same room with her, forcing her into marriage with me. But instead, it was Meiling who ended up here. I’m just as confused as you are!”
“Stop arguing!” Second Uncle interjected, raising his voice. “You were only pretending to be drunk. Meiling couldn’t have arrived here on her own!” “That’s right, you were just pretending!” Ms. Niu added.
Yu Xiaomiao shouted in frustration, “No, I wasn’t! I may not have been truly drunk, but my head was spinning. Someone opened the door, and I didn’t open my eyes immediately. When I finally did, I saw Meiling on the floor. It startled me, so I got off the bed to check on her. Then Shao Sanlang arrived, followed by all of you!
The room was filled with tension as they tried to make sense of the situation and understand how Meiling had ended up in that room instead of Taotao.
Second Uncle and Ms. Niu were filled with a mixture of anger and regret, unable to find the right words to express their emotions.
Realizing that Meiling was awake, Yu Xiaomiao sneered inwardly but decided to suggest, “Perhaps we can ask Meiling herself what happened.”
Shao Meiling was lying in the bed where Yu Xiaomiao had been pretending to sleep. Given their engagement, it was not inappropriate for them to be in the same room.
Ms. Niu glared at Yu Xiaomiao and shook Shao Meiling to wake her up. Shao Meiling slowly opened her eyes, looking confused. “What happened to me? Where am I? Mom, where is Taotao? What happened to her? I bet she’s crying, isn’t she? Haha!”
Her eyes sparkled with a mix of anxiety and cunningness..
