On that day, Ms. Zhang intercepted Shao Meiling when she was in a good mood and casually mentioned her fiancs upcoming visit before the New Year. Shao Meiling blushed upon hearing Yu Xiaomiaos name.
Ms. Zhang sneered inwardly but sighed dramatically, Ive heard about the Yu Family, such a pity!
Shao Meiling grew slightly furious, staring at Ms. Zhang. What do you mean?
Ms. Zhang responded, Its quite obvious. Shao Yunduan has become a Provincial Champion, soon to become an Advanced Scholar and an official. His father-in-law already holds a government position. Hes destined for a promising future. Youre his cousin, but you come from a different background. Now your two brothers are making money, and your life is going to improve. However, you got engaged too early. If you had started seeking a suitor now, you might have had many suitors vying for your attention!
Look at your Elder Aunt. Shes so clever that she hasnt even engaged Taotao yet. She wants to wait until Shao Yunduan becomes an Advanced Scholar and find her a suitor, perhaps someone from a wealthy family!
Shes quite calculating, isnt she? But shes Taotaos mother, after all. Its understandable that shes looking out for Taotaos best interests. However, youre also a daughter of the Shao Family, and she does nothing to help you.
She even allows your mother to get you engaged so early, because she has her
own motives, maybe even something sinister, I believe.
Shao Meiling bit her lip, growing pale, suddenly overwhelmed by jealousy.
She had never been fond of Taotao, yet she was going to marry someone of nobility because of her brother. Perhaps she would become the wife of a young master, leading a carefree life. But what about her?
She was marrying into an ordinary farmers family.
She would have to work for the household and labor in the fields. Despite her hard work, she would only receive meager income for the rest of her life. Why
Her Second Sister-in-law had a point. She deserved a better family.
Her cousin would become an official next year, while she would be the cousin of an official coming from such different circumstances. How could an ordinary farmers family be sufficient for her?
She had to admit that she wasnt as exceptional as Taotao, but couldnt she at least marry into a wealthy landlords family?
Shao Meiling sneered, Why didnt you say this earlier, Second Sister-in-law? Whats the point of mentioning it now? They were already engaged!
Shao Meiling felt even more miserable.
Nis. Zhang let out a slight sneer. She continued, Meiling, its never too late.
Youre not married yet, right? You can even break off the engagement. The Yu Family doesnt deserve you. You have to think about it and avoid ruining yourself.
Shao Meiling hesitated. Breaking off an engagement could tarnish a girls reputation, and she was well aware of that.
Nis. Zhang seemed to have sensed her concerns and wore a knowing smile. Once Shao Yunduan becomes an official, youll become the cousin of an official with a respectable family background. Youll stand out from other girls whose engagements are broken. When that time comes, no one will blame you for this stain. Theyll flock to your door, begging for the chance to court you! Shao Meilings spirits were lifted upon hearing this.
Yes, she would indeed be different from other girls whose engagements were broken.
The Yu Family didnt deserve her, and she was determined to break off the engagement with them!
Only foolish people would reject such a well-thought-out plan She refused to lead a life filled with humiliation and poverty..
