Chapter 1415: Youâre Finally An Understanding Person
Editor:Â 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 wasnât hasty; they understood that decisions of this magnitude should be made by him and his wife.
FortunatelyâŠ
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 shivers down Zhao Shuâs 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 didnât want to disrespect him by laughing.

âI understand. Young Master Zhao, itâs growing late. Why donât you return for now?â
âMadame Shao, butââ
âYou may leave now,â Qiao Xuan said, her voice gentle but resolute, a smile gracing her face. âWeâll discuss this further later!â
Zhao Shu regarded her with a pleading expression.
Qiao Xuan, feeling a hint of remorse, explained, âTaotao is the sole daughter in our family, and sheâs 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, donât you think? Moreover, marriage is a momentous decision, and it wouldnât be prudent to rely solely on your word, wouldnât you agree?â
It was a valid point, but Zhao Shu couldnât help but feel that Lord Shao was harboring ill feelings towards him. He was still agitated!
Aunt Qing chimed in with a warm smile. âMadame Shao is right. Young Master is at fault in this matter⊠How about we revisit this once Lord Shao returns from Qingdi? Young Masterâs intentions toward Miss Shao are sincere, so please have faith in Lord Shao!â
His Young Master had formed a friendship 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 werenât 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 elseâs 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 Shaoâs 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 couldnât help but think, âYou certainly comprehend!â
âOf course. You can head back for now.â
âVery well, Madame Shao!â
Without further explanation, Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing escorted Zhao Shu away.
Turning around, Zhao Shu noticed that Shao Yunduan hadnât 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, âUncle Qing, Aunt Qing, do you reckon Madame Shao might offer some clarity if I return tomorrow? Or perhaps after she gives birth?â
Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing exchanged a bemused look, torn between laughter and exasperation.
