When Wu Mingde saw Shao Yan, it was like he had seen his backbone, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.
He grabbed Shao Yan's hand and said happily: "My wife, you are here."
"You...how could you get married? Didn't Shao Yan marry a short-lived guy?" Xu Min's eyes were about to burst, and she couldn't believe what she saw.
She had been thinking about Wu Mingde for so long, but someone got there first, and that person was Shao Yan, the person she hated the most.
"Shao Yan, you're getting married. Do your grandparents know? Will they agree?" Xu Min said, "And my mother definitely won't agree."
Her mother loves her so much. If she knew that she liked Wu Mingde, she would definitely force Shao Yan to leave Wu Mingde.
Having made up her mind, Xu Min's heart began to boil, as if she had already seen her future married life with Wu Mingde.
Wu Mingde is just a fool and will definitely be taken advantage of by her.
By then, the entire Wu family will be under her control. Once she gets the fifty taels of silver, she will drive the whole family out, and only she and Wu Mingde will be left together, living a life of luxury with the fifty taels of silver.
When Shao Hong was mentioned, Shao Yan's expression changed, but when she thought of what Shao Hong had done to her, her heart was filled with hatred.
"Whether they agree or not has nothing to do with me. I have no relationship with your family at all." Shao Yan said gritting her teeth.
"Shao Yan, you are so heartless. Your grandparents raised you so much, and this is how you treat them?"
"I've done enough and don't owe them anything." Shao Yan said, "But you, you're lazy and always asking them for money. Now I don't know which wild man you're going out with to fool around and embarrass them. Just wait for your beating." Shao Yan said.
Xu Min couldn't help but smile smugly when he heard Shao Yan say this: "Shao Yan, do you think I am you? How could they bear to hit me."
Shao Yan looked at the smug look on Xu Min's face and felt a sinking feeling in her heart. Yes, they loved Xu Min so much that they really might not be willing to beat or scold her.
But what does this have to do with her?
"It's your good to do as you wish." Shao Yan said and left with Wu Mingde.
Xu Min wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by Xie Yunjiao. When she finally got rid of Xie Yunjiao, she could no longer see Wu Mingde and Shao Yan.
Xu Min returned home in a rage and told Shao Hong and the two elders of the Shao family about meeting Shao Yan and Shao Yan marrying Wu Mingde, but they reacted indifferently.
"We've already sold her for money, so let it go. Whether that beast is dead or alive has nothing to do with us anyway," said Shao Hong.
Shao Yan was like a thorn in her side. Now that Shao Yan had finally left, she felt comfortable and every day was like New Year's Day.
"That's not the case. The Wu family is so poor, she has to suffer. She would marry that kind of person if her life is worthless." said the old lady of the Shao family.
"Grandma, you are wrong. The Wu family is not poor, but very rich!" Xu Min told them everything she knew.
Anyway, she couldn't get Wu Mingde, and she wouldn't let him and Shao Yan have an easy life.
Sure enough, after she said these words, Shao Hong and others started beating drums and gongs to look for Shao Yan and Wu Mingde, and they actually found Wu Mingde's new home.
Seeing the half-dilapidated house, Shao Hong and his friends were naturally jealous. They made a lot of noise outside the door, causing the nearby neighbors to come out to watch the fun.
Shao Yan was so annoyed that she even lost her energy when working.
After Xie Yunjiao found out, she went straight to the police and reported them for disturbing the public. With Hai Jing's help, the Shao family suffered a great loss and did not dare to cause trouble at the Wu family anymore.
However, they did not let Shao Yan have an easy life. They spoke ill of Shao Yan everywhere and made up a story about her life in an exaggerated way, just to make Shao Yan have an easy life.
Later, Xie Yunjiao comforted her, saying that it was someone else's fault and she couldn't control it, but she was her own person and she just had to live her life.
Shao Yan later figured it out and didn't mind it so much anymore.
"What should we do? Mom is still at home, and so are my younger sister and brother." Shao Yan said nervously.
When Wu Mingde saw that she cared so much about her family, his heart was warmed and he couldn't help but smile.
He squeezed Shao Yan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I immediately sent them back home and locked the door. They will be fine."
Only then did Shao Yan feel her tense heart relax a little. Even if Xu Min was really so cold-blooded that he dared to kill his family members, she was just a little girl and couldn't climb walls or fly over rooftops. As long as she closed the door, Xu Min should not be able to get in.
The two men came to the Shao family, where there were soldiers guarding the house, but there were still many curious people hanging around and talking about things.
When they saw Shao Yan and Wu Mingde, people immediately gathered around them and talked non-stop.
Shao Yan was already feeling uncomfortable, and those gossipers made her even more angry. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Wu Mingde spoke first: "This is our family affair. No matter what, it's none of your business."
After saying that, he took Shao Yan to Shao's house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the officers and soldiers: "What are you doing? Didn't we say you are not allowed to come near?"
"Sir, I am the youngest daughter of the Shao family. I came back to help my parents with their funeral arrangements." Shao Yan said.
"What little daughter? She was originally the bastard child of a man that Shao Hong hooked up with somewhere. She claimed her as her little daughter out of fear of embarrassment.
I don't know what Wu Mingde wants from Shao Yan. He dares to marry her with such a background. Isn't he afraid that his ancestors will crawl out of the ground in the middle of the night to settle the score with him?
"You'd better stop talking. Wu Mingde is now a top scholar, not just an ordinary person."
"So what if he's just a scholar? He doesn't hold any official position, just like us ordinary people. Do you think I should be afraid of him?"
The words from the neighbors were like slaps in the face, making Shao Yan's face hurt.
She had always felt that she was not worthy of Wu Mingde and had avoided his love confessions. Now, after hearing these words, her inferiority complex began to take effect again, making her anxious and uneasy.
She suddenly looked up at Wu Mingde as she thought of something. She moved her lips and was about to speak when Wu Mingde interrupted her: "Don't let your imagination run wild. You are already a member of my Wu family. You are surrounded by many people who love and respect you. You are no longer alone."
Shao Yan felt warm in her heart. The dark clouds that blocked the sun dissipated, and she saw the sunshine again.
"My dear, I'm sorry. I've been letting my imagination run wild again."
She originally wanted to say that after she had dealt with the Shao family's affairs, she would leave and continue living somewhere where no one knew her, allowing Wu Mingde to marry another wife with a good family background. After all, he would become a pillar of the country in the future.
She didn't want her bad reputation to ruin his.
But Wu Mingde was so good to her that she didn't want to leave.
