Chapter 1419: A Familyâs Thoughts
Editor:Â Henyee Translations
His son was undeniably a good person, but the unspoken agreement between them left them hesitant to guarantee that their son would certainly pass the intermediate examinations next year.
What ifâŠ
If he didnât succeed, another three years of waiting would be necessary, a prospect Shao Xiaozhi couldnât afford.
Moreover, Young Master Zhao was undeniably wealthy. With no parents, elders, or siblings to share his wealth with, should their daughter marry into his family, she would become the mistress of the household!
As the sole elders of Young Master Zhao, they would enjoy considerable riches!
The prospect was undeniably appealing!
Ms. Ma even began to sympathize with Zhao Shu, saying, âYoung Master Zhao excels in many areas, but heâs overly generous and somewhat indolent. How can he spend so extravagantly? Treating all those unrelated people to meals and drinks constantly. If he were to become our son-in-law, Iâd have to teach him a thing or two! This extravagant generosity canât continue, with people taking advantage without offering anything in return!â
Third Uncle concurred, stating, âExactly! I was thinking the same thing. Heâs still young and inexperienced in the ways of the world. As his elders, we should guide him, so Iâll take it upon myself to do just that!â

âIâm on board too!â Ms. Ma didnât want to be left behind, adding with a chuckle, âThe ones whoâve been taken advantage of the most are Elder Brother and sister-in-law. Young Master Zhao has enjoyed their hospitality while staying at their home! Iâll make sure they return everything heâs benefited from!â
âThatâs right!â
ââŠ..â
The couple engaged in a spirited conversation.
Coincidentally, Shao Xiaozhi shared her feelings with Ms. Ma. She⊠she had developed feelings for Young Master ZhaoâŠ
Ms. Ma was absolutely thrilled to hear this!
âAh!â Third Uncle exclaimed, clapping his hands with delight. âThis is destiny at work! To meet unexpectedly from thousands of miles away, itâs true serendipity! Otherwise, how could things align so perfectly? Just as you were considering a proposal, Young Master Zhao arrived!â
Shao Xiaozhi blushed and turned away, feeling shy. âMotherâŠâ
Ms. Ma laughed heartily and exclaimed, âSilly girl, this is a wonderful opportunity, why are you so bashful? Iâll speak with him tomorrow, no, today!â
Shao Xiaozhi grew even more embarrassed.
She couldnât help but express her concern. âBut what if Elder Aunt disagrees? What if she⊠causes trouble?â
Ms. Ma sneered. âShe wouldnât dare! Oh my, sheâs quite the troublemaker, she just might have the audacity to do so. I wonât inform her yet; instead, Iâll tell your uncle. Weâll prepare a feast with food and wine, and have your uncle bring Young Master Zhao hereâŠâ
By sharing a meal together before discussing the matter, they were sure to be successful.
âWhen the time comes, dress up elegantly and put on your new attire. Adorn yourself with silk flowers and silver hairpins. You still have some cosmetics, donât you? Put those on as well.â
The familyâs situation had improved, and Shao Xiaozhi had acquired a few new outfits and silver accessories.
Shao Xiaozhi bashfully agreed, saying, âMother, do you think Elder Aunt will also like Young Master Zhao? After all, Taotao also needs to marry, right? What ifââ
âNo, she wonât,â Ms. Ma asserted, her expression stern as she snorted. âDonât even entertain such thoughts! Taotao? Taotao has your fifth cousin, doesnât she? Your fifth cousin will find a match for her. She wonât try to take Young Master Zhao from you, or Iâll have a confrontation with them!â
Shao Xiaozhiâs heart fluttered with relief.
Ms. Ma was eager to see her daughter marry Zhao Shu soon, so she instructed Third Uncle to bring Eldest Uncle home.
Having learned their lesson, they didnât want to inform Ms. Fang, who had Shao Yunduan as her protector, about their plans.
