Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Filled with anger and resentment, Shao Liulang heard that Zhao Ming, the Elder Miss from the Zhao Family, was visiting. Surprisingly, his fury turned into excitement.
He quickly put on a clean robe, tidied his hair, and confidently walked out to meet Zhao Ming, hoping to make a good impression.
“Greetings, Elder Miss Zhao!” he greeted her with feigned charm.
Zhao Ming had been waiting in the hall of the second section of the Shao Family, feeling irritated and resentful. She had been scrutinizing him and enduring his endless questions. She was growing increasingly annoyed.
If it weren’t for her family’s troubles, she wouldn’t have bothered to deal with Ms. Ma!
She despised her from the bottom of her heart.
Cursing silently, she started to question whether her decision to approach Shao Liulang was a mistake. His pretentious behavior only intensified her disgust.
“Young Master Shao, can we have a private conversation?” Zhao Ming asked, trying to suppress her disgust and maintain a soft demeanor.
“Of course!” Shao Liulang was taken aback by her request but delighted at the same time. He nodded eagerly and smiled, saying, “Please tell me anything! Mom, please give us some privacy.”
Ms. Ma wasn’t too pleased with the situation. She smiled and replied, “But we’re a family, aren’t we? Why can’t I be part of the conversation?”
Since they were the only ones present, Ms. Ma assumed that this girl must have developed feelings for her son.
“Mom, please just give us some space. Elder Miss Zhao might feel uncomfortable with you here,” Shao Liulang pleaded, giving his mother a meaningful look.
What was she doing here anyway? Acting as a third wheel?
With her presence, Zhao Ming wouldn’t be able to freely express her thoughts, and their conversation would be constrained.
Ms. Ma finally grasped the situation and understood Shao Liulangs intentions.
“Alright then,” she said, getting up from her seat. “l guess I’m just out of touch. I’ll leave you two to chat. Take your time.”
With a smile, Ms. Ma seemed to be aware of everything and left the room, giving her son a knowing look.
Zhao Ming felt humiliated and furious. She blushed with anger at the thought of being mistaken for someone interested in a rural woman like Ms. Ma. She was the Elder Niiss of the prestigious Zhao Family, and being associated with the Shao Family in this manner was deeply frustrating. She had to restrain herself from cursing Ms. Ma and Shao Liulang out of sheer anger.
Unaware of Zhao Mings true emotions, both Ms. Ma and Shao Liulang misinterpreted her blushing as shyness. They exchanged glances and smiled proudly.
Indeed, Ms. Ma felt a sense of pride. Her son appeared to be so capable that a wealthy young lady had come to his door personally!
Lady Zhao certainly had a knack for choosing the right man.
Shao Liulang felt a surge of pride as he looked at Zhao Ming with affection. He was about to express his feelings with sweet and romantic words when Zhao
Ming interrupted him abruptly.
She urged Shao Liulang to help her talk to Provincial Champion Shao, requesting his assistance in granting them mercy and allowing them to be left alone.
However, Shao Liulang was completely unaware of the situation. He hadn’t been to the county city in a while and had secluded himself at home, oblivious to what was happening around him. He was clueless about the troubles the Zhao Family was facing.
Similarly, Ms. Ma was in the dark as well. She only knew that Yang Xiaoni had nearly fallen victim to a womanizer, but she had never connected this incident to Lady Zhao or her current plea..
