Chapter 17: 17

Niu Shi and Ma Shi were too stunned to speak.

Fang Shi smiled again and said, “It’s just a misunderstanding between the sisters. What’s with all of you coming to my doorstep angrily? Qiao Shi, you tell them just what’s going on.”

The more they belittled Qiao Xuan, the more Fang Shi would laud her.

Fang Shi was shrewd. She could clearly see that the youngest daughter-in-law was capable. Having fought alone for many years, she wouldn’t give up on a helper who had finally come.

“Yes, Mother.” Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile, her reply was crisp and clear.

Fang Shi sneered in satisfaction, “My two sisters, you heard her clearly, didn’t you? The two of you should also be more strict with Mei Ling and Xiao Zhi. It wouldn’t do good for little girls to be overbearing!”

Ma Shi’s face became ugly, “Qiao Shi, that’s nonsense! That isn’t what Xiao Zhi said!”

Niu Shi was smarter than Ma Shi. She glared at Shao Tao Tao and snarled, “So it’s Tao Tao’s fault then! Tao Tao, you are in the wrong here. You can’t just give something away to your sister then say that she’s bullying you. How can there be such a thing! You aren’t young anymore, and a girl shouldn’t be full of lies!”

Shao Tao Tao refuted angrily, “No I didn’t!”

“Oh, so you dare to talk back to your elders! Sister-in-law, see for yourself! You have to teach her a lesson!”

Shao Mei Ling and Shao Mei Zhi immediately followed Niu Shi’s words, and insisted that the ornaments were given to them by Shao Tao Tao. She must have regretted giving the ornaments to them, so she claimed that they were the ones who stole from her.

Ma Shi also joined in, and the four of them spoke badly about Shao Tao Tao.

Shao Tao Tao was so anxious that she nearly cried, but there was no way the scale was leaning towards her. The words “I didn’t!” and “No!” were so weak that she was not their opponent at all.

Even Fang Shi’s face turned pale with anger.

Qiao Xuan said, “Second Aunt, Third Aunt, there’s no way Taotao would give those ornaments to them. They were a meeting gift I gave to Taotao. Taotao will naturally cherish it, and she likes them a lot too. How could she bear to give them away in half a day??”

Niu Shi sneered, and rolled her eyes, “So, you’re saying Meiling and Xiaozhi are in the wrong?”

Qiao Xuan answered, “Well, the fault can’t be on Taotao! You weren’t even present, so why do you think Taotao lied?”

Fang Shi sneered, “That’s right! I believe in my daughter!”

Qiao Xuan continued, “Meiling and Xiaozhi aren’t young anymore, so surely they understand, right? Those were a meeting gift I gave Taotao. Even if Taotao said to give it away, they shouldn’t have taken it.”

Shao Mei Ling muttered, “Taotao didn’t say it was a meeting gift.”

Qiao Xuan simply shrugged, “Don’t you know how to ask?”

Shao Tao Tao anxiously said, “I did say it!”

Shao Mei Ling, “…”

Fang Shi sneered, “Is there any more to say? If not, let’s go. If this delays my cooking any further, there won’t be any dinner for tonight! You can all go back and cook for yourselves!”

Niu Shi and Ma Shi were seething with anger.

This was originally a matter where both parties claimed to be in the right. Whoever could make the most ruckus would be the final winner.

Obviously, they couldn’t handle Fang Shi.

Even if they don’t lose, they don’t win.

It was impossible to get anything from Fang Shi’s hands.

And this Qiao Shi made Niu Shi even more angry the more she thought about it. The daughter of the county magistrate with a sharp tongue, how ill-mannered, bah!

But it’s no wonder. I heard Shao Yun Jiang say that she’s a girl without a mother, what good can she be?

However, thinking about those 26 sets of dowries, Niu Shi felt very jealous.
