Chapter 1415: You’re Finally An Understanding Person

Editor: Henyee Translations

This behavior was truly reprehensible!

Shao Yunduan paid no heed to anything further that Zhao Shu had to say.

In any case, it was abundantly clear that Taotao had fallen for him, and his family seemed to be quite taken with him as well.

Thankfully, his family wasn’t hasty; they understood that decisions of this magnitude should be made by him and his wife.

Fortunately…

After a while, Zhao Shu completed his discourse and turned towards Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan.

Shao Yunduan fixed him with a withering glare that sent s.h.i.+vers down Zhao Shu’s spine. He averted his gaze, bowing his head as though he had committed an offense, appearing pitiable.

Qiao Xuan struggled to stifle a laugh, knowing that her husband was furious at that moment, and she didn’t want to disrespect him by laughing.

“I understand. Young Master Zhao, it’s growing late. Why don’t you return for now?”

“Madame Shao, but—”

“You may leave now,” Qiao Xuan said, her voice gentle but resolute, a smile gracing her face. “We’ll discuss this further later!”

Zhao Shu regarded her with a pleading expression.

Qiao Xuan, feeling a hint of remorse, explained, “Taotao is the sole daughter in our family, and she’s cherished by everyone, especially our Old Master, who holds her in high regard. But you sprang this on us so suddenly… We need some time to process this, don’t you think? Moreover, marriage is a momentous decision, and it wouldn’t be prudent to rely solely on your word, wouldn’t you agree?”

It was a valid point, but Zhao Shu couldn’t help but feel that Lord Shao was harboring ill feelings towards him. He was still agitated!

Aunt Qing chimed in with a warm smile. “Madame Shao is right. Young Master is at fault in this matter… How about we revisit this once Lord Shao returns from Qingdi? Young Master’s intentions toward Miss Shao are sincere, so please have faith in Lord Shao!”

His Young Master had formed a friends.h.i.+p with Lord Shao and Madame Shao, but venturing into their hometown and pursuing a romantic connection with a local girl raised suspicions. It was challenging to explain if his intentions weren’t genuine.

It was only natural for Lord Shao to be incensed.

In truth, when Aunt Qing and Uncle Qing learned that their Young Master had visited someone else’s home and proposed marriage, they foresaw that this situation could turn problematic.

However, Young Master genuinely appeared to have feelings for Miss Shao.

Over the years, numerous women had persistently pursued Young Master, and many families had expressed their desire for a matrimonial alliance. Yet, Young Master had steadfastly declined these offers.

To win over Miss Shao’s affections, he had taken the initiative to correspond with her from Yuzhang and purchased various gifts from Hangzhou that girls typically appreciated. Such efforts were clearly not mere capricious whims.

After all, Young Master had encountered countless charming young ladies before. If he had a genuine interest in impressing a girl, Yuzhang Province offered an array of splendid options.

Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but think, “You certainly comprehend!”

“Of course. You can head back for now.”

“Very well, Madame Shao!”

Without further explanation, Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing escorted Zhao Shu away.

Turning around, Zhao Shu noticed that Shao Yunduan hadn’t even spared him a glance. Frustration welled up within him, understanding that it was improbable to secure a definitive response. He departed unhappily.

As they settled into the carriage, Taotao sighed and pondered, “Uncle Qing, Aunt Qing, do you reckon Madame Shao might offer some clarity if I return tomorrow? Or perhaps after she gives birth?”

Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing exchanged a bemused look, torn between laughter and exasperation.
