"Putting aside other things, Madam Han's straightforwardness and temper are quite to my liking. She said what I was thinking, which was also what the ladies present dared to think but not say. For this reason alone, I admire her. Everyone thinks that I am arrogant and reckless, and they envy me for having a good family background, but in fact, it is just a superficial glory. How can it compare to the Su family."
After hearing what Shao said, the wet nurse and the maid stopped talking and showed some anger on their faces, obviously knowing why Shao said this.
"Madam, please think positively. The Second Young Master was just bewitched by that vixen for a while. After all, you are his legal wife. Besides, the Shao family is still here. If the Second Young Master goes too far, the Shao family will support you." The wet nurse and the maid tried their best to comfort Madam Shao.
After hearing this, Shao felt even more bitter. Everyone said she was so prosperous, and her family and husband's family were both powerful, so she was so arrogant that she didn't even take the city lord's wife seriously. Who knew how much pain she was in? She was just a pawn in the family's interests. If she had a choice, she would never choose Liu Xuan, such a sinister and vicious villain, as her husband. However, the family chose Liu Xuan, and she had to submit.
It would have been fine if she just married Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan was quite nice to her because of her family's influence. She lived freely. It is said that a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace after being married for a day. In fact, she had already accepted the fact in recent years and naturally regarded this man as her husband. How could she really not like him at all? What's more, Liu Xuan was best at sweet talk and had a good appearance, but he was a playboy. This time, regardless of whether she would be blamed or not, he asked her to do this at the banquet. In addition to official business, I'm afraid that the shadow of that woman was also involved.
Others did not know Zhou Yao's identity, but she knew it. The so-called cousin was just an insider planted by Liu Xuan in the City Lord's Mansion, and this insider and the vixen were sisters. She knew about the embarrassing incident of Zhou Yao being kicked out of the Han Mansion. The vixen instigated her mostly for Zhou Yao. Not to mention that Zhou Yao and Su Wenyue had a grudge, if Zhou Yao could really successfully bring down Su Wenyue and bring Han Yu to her side, and they sisters helped each other, I'm afraid her status would be greatly reduced.
Zhou Yao knew very well what kind of person her husband was. If her usefulness decreased, there could only be one outcome.
However, she had to do what the master told her to do, she had no choice. This was a matter of great cause. In order to achieve the goal, the family would not mind sacrificing a pawn like her. But that vixen probably did not expect Su to be so powerful. Now she had done what she should have done, and also what she should not have done. It was Su's problem. It was not her fault that she failed to achieve the goal. The master could not blame her. Instead, he should comfort her.
As Shao thought so, she suddenly started throwing things around, smashing everything in the room into pieces. The wet nurse and the maid watched their master smashing things calmly. Although they could not fully understand her thoughts, they guessed something and stood aside without worrying or persuading her as usual, until they saw a figure coming from a distance. It was Liu Xuan.
The nanny's expression suddenly changed, and she stepped forward quickly: "Young Madam, please don't be angry, or you might get yourself in trouble."
After so many years as master and servant, they still have this tacit understanding. Shao immediately understood why Nanny acted like this. Shao's face also showed an expression at this time. She was angry and a little self-blaming: "How can I not be angry? That Su dared to ignore me in front of so many people and said such words, which made me lose face. My mother-in-law also used it as a handle to scold me for a long time. Every word she said hurt my heart! That's fine, but that woman deliberately instigated discord in front of the master. Now that the task assigned to me by the master has not been completed, she thinks I deliberately didn't do it well."
"Madam, how can you be blamed for this? You have tried your best. It's that Madam Han is too powerful. This is the first time I have seen someone who is so reckless and doesn't care about her reputation at all. She is no better than that shrew in the market, and even more powerful. Not to mention Madam, even if there are a few more people, I am afraid they will not be a match for Madam Han. The second young master knows what happened and will not blame you, young madam." The wet nurse consoled her earnestly, but there was some uncertainty in her tone.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shao stopped throwing things and stood there with a look of loss: "No, he won't believe me. Even though I have tried my best, I still couldn't get things done. Now he only believes that woman's words. I feel so miserable! Even though I was reluctant to marry you, we have been married for so many years, how can we really have no feelings for each other? I always go against you and deliberately make him angry, but I just want him to pay more attention to me. I can't let it go in my heart, but I can't express this feeling. He doesn't know it all the time, woo woo..."
Shao cried and wailed in front of her most trusted nanny, revealing her most vulnerable and helpless side, as well as those unspeakable feelings.
The nanny's face was full of heartache. Seeing Shao Shi like this, she didn't know how to comfort the young lady: "Young Madam, don't be discouraged. You have the Second Young Master in your heart and you always think about him. Even though you knew that Madam would make things difficult for you, you did it without hesitation. The Second Young Master will definitely feel your kindness."
"Alas, my master's affection and trust for me are less than before. I don't expect any of these. I just hope that my master won't blame me for this." After hearing what the wet nurse said, Shao said in a somewhat mournful voice with a bit of sadness that made people feel sorry for her.
Liu Xuan had been listening outside and did not expect to hear what Shao said. He then realized that this was what he was thinking. His mind changed a lot, especially when he heard Shao's words of love for him, he felt happy and proud.
No matter how powerful or domineering she is, Shao is just an ordinary woman, but she was still conquered by his charm. Liu Xuan thought to himself that as a man, he had no reason to be unhappy when he was admired like this by someone, and this woman was his legitimate wife.
Originally, Liu Xuan had indeed heard that the task assigned to Shao was not done well. Although he had no intention of blaming him, he was very unhappy in his heart. However, considering that Shao had a good family, he had to forgive Shao. It did not prevent him from ignoring Shao for a period of time to let Shao reflect on himself and see his own identity clearly. Now he no longer has such thoughts at all.
"Madam, rest assured. I, Liu Xuan, am not someone who cannot tell right from wrong. This is not your fault. How can I blame you? I can only blame the Su family for being too cunning and sly, causing you, Madam, to suffer injustice."
