Chapter 17

Not A Match With Ms. Fang

Ms.Niu and Ms. Mang threw an angry glare.

Ms. Fang smiled again. “There is some misunderstanding between the cousins. What are you doing here babbling at my door? Ms. Qiao, tell them what happened?”

The more they looked down at Qiao Xuan, the more Ms. Fang was going to raise her.

Ms. Fang had sharp eyes. She could tell that her daughter-in-law was capable of dealing with the situation. She had been on her own for years, and now with a helper next to her, she was not going to give up.

“Okay, Mom!” Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile and recounted the incident in just a few words.

Ms. Fang sneered in satisfaction. “Heard that? Just teach your children well. After all, it is never good to be so intimidating. They are girls, okay?”

Ms. Mang showed a terrible look on her face. “This is nonsense! Xiaozhi said it differently!”

Ms. Niu was more clever than Ms. Mang. She glared at Shao Taotao and said, “So it is Taotao’s fault, isn’t it? Taotao, you gave out presents and said that your cousins bullied you. That is unreasonable. You are not a little girl any more, don’t just lie!”

Taotao was angry. “That is not true!”

“Now you are countering the elder in the family! Just look at her, Elder Sister-in-law, you must teach her a good lesson!”

Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi followed Ms. Niu’s lead and kept saying that Shao Taotao gave them the gifts first before regretting it and calling them robbers.

Ms. Mang joined them and kept saying bad words about Shao Taotao. All of them combined forces at this moment.

Shao Taotao became so anxious that she almost cried. She did not know how to defend herself but kept insisting that it was not like how they were saying it. “No, I didn’t! It is not true!”

But her words were so weak that she was completely defeated.

Even Ms. Fang turned pale with anger.

Qiao Xuan said, “Taotao won’t give out those flowers as presents, because they are my gifts to Taotao who cherishes them. Also, she likes silk-flowers and she would not give them out to anyone else.”

Ms. Niu sorted, rolled her eyes and said, “The girls won’t have lied!”

Qiao Xuan retorted. “Taotao won’t lie either. You weren’t present there. Why do you think Taotao was lying?!”

Ms. Fang said coldly, “True, I believe my daughter!”

Qiao Xuan added further. “Meiling and Xiaozhi are not little girls any more, why don’t they understand that they should not accept the gifts from Taotao, when they know that those gifts are from me to her?”

Shao Meiling countered immediately. “Taotao did not say that it was a gift to her!”

Qiao Xuan asked her. “Why didn’t you ask?”

Shao Taotao said, “I did!”

Shao Meiling, “…”

Ms. Fang said coldly, “Anything else? Just leave if you don’t have anything more to say. You will get no dinner tonight if you keep pestering me. Eat at your own home instead!”

Both Ms. Niu and Ms. Mang were angry.

That was not a reasonable thing to say. Only those who knew how to insist and make a fuss of the matter would be the final winner.

But obviously, they could not override Ms. Fang.

They neither lost nor won.

It was impossible to get back whatever Ms. Fang had taken away.

And this Ms. Qiao was even more annoying! She was the daughter of the County Magistrate, sharp-tongued and not at all well-behaved. Bah!

Oh true, she heard from her son that this daughter was just a concubine’s daughter whose mother already died. She was not good at all!

But she did have 26 sets of dowries… Ms. Niu was really jealous…
