Ms. Fang pointed directly at them, her eyes filled with anger as she unleashed her curse. “From this moment on, we have nothing to do with you anymore! I’m far from finished with this. I will rally the entire clan to seek justice for what you’ve done! You are truly despicable, and mark my words, your actions will only worsen! ”
Both Ms. Niu and Second Uncle’s faces underwent a sudden change, visibly taken aback.
Ms. Niu’s face swelled up, displaying numerous blood traces and broken lips. She grimaced in pain but managed to speak through gritted teeth. “Didn’t you leave? How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation?”
Regret washed over Ms. Niu and Second Uncle at this critical juncture.
However, despite the accident, they were desperate for an explanation. That was why they had wanted to interrogate Yu Xiaomiao. Little did they expect that Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle would still be present.
Ms. Fang sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. “So what? I now have proof that will expose your secrets!”
Yet, there was no need for them to remain any longer.
“Let’s go, old man!” Ms. Fang exclaimed, urging Eldest Uncle to leave.
Second Uncle pleaded, his voice tinged with remorse. “Elder Brother, Elder Sister-in-law, we deeply regret our actions. We were misguided, but it was all for the sake of our child!”
Ms. Fang retorted, her words laced with venom. “You framed our child to protect yours. How utterly repulsive! ”
Caught off guard, Second Uncle stuttered, his voice lacking confidence. “We…
we are sorry! But Taotao is still alright, isn’t she? Elder Brother, Elder Sister-in-law, please let it go. We’re family!’
Ms. Fangs gaze intensified as she glared at Second Uncle, her wish to strike him becoming almost tangible. “Where was this notion of family when you plotted against Taotao?” she spat back, her words filled with seething anger. “That’s only because we are capable of taking care of her! It doesn’t make you good people!’
Ms. Niu muttered, her words filled with resentment. ‘You knocked out Meiling, didn’t you? Which one of you did it? Qi?” she questioned, her voice accusingly pointed at them.
Qi, along with Ms. Xu, Yang Xiaoni, and Qiao Xuan, had already left after finishing their meal. It seemed likely that Qi was the one who had incapacitated Shao Meiling. Being a boy, he possessed the strength to do so.
“So what?” Ms. Fang cursed vehemently, her anger evident. “You set us up, and we played our part!’
“You!” Ms. Niu exclaimed.
“Shut up! From this moment on, we are cutting off all ties with you! Old man, come, let’s go talk to the Land Officer and resolve this matter within the clan!” Ms. Fang declared firmly, ready to depart.
Ms. Niu trembled with anger, but her fear quickly overtook her. Hurriedly, she moved to stop Ms. Fang and Second Uncle joined her in their attempt. “No, you can’t go!” Ms. Niu pleaded desperately.
“Elder Sister-in-law, why be so cruel? Elder Brother, say something!” Second
Uncle implored.
“Save your breath,” Ms. Fang sneered, her voice filled with derision. “You won’t be able to stop me, so give it a try! And don’t even think you can confine me here!”
“Elder Brother, we’re truly sorry. After all, we are family, aren’t we? It would be an enormous scandal, wouldn’t it? It would tarnish Taotao’s reputation as well!”
Nis. Fangs response was swift and sharp. “Taotao has had nothing to do with this from the very beginning! She has her brother to care for her!”
Ms. Niu and Second Uncle continued to implore, their pleas filled with desperation.
Eldest Uncle sighed heavily, feeling overwhelmed by the situation.
The conversation he overheard outside had shocked, saddened, and deeply disappointed him. His own brother and sister-in-law had orchestrated a scheme against his own daughter.
They had plotted to break off the engagement and replace Taotao with their own child. How could they treat Taotao this way?
They didn’t regard him as an elder brother at all!
However, despite his inner turmoil, Taotao had remained unharmed. And now, seeing the couple beg before him like this, he found himself unable to utter any words of reproach..
