Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1773

Chapter 1773: She Would Not Give Up Chapter 1773: She Would Not Give Up Editor: Henyee Translations Zhao Shu seethed with anger.

True, he lacked parents, but his wealth and vast network of subordinates should have deterred any notion of bullying him.

What arrogance led these individuals to believe he was an easy target, free for exploitation?

Mrs.

Lu, the patriarch’s wife, and even a rural girl embodied this audacity!

Unexpectedly, Shao Xiaozhi’s words ignited Zhao Shu’s emotions.

“Let her speak,” Taotao gently intervened, tugging at Zhao Shu’s sleeve.

Though her tone was soft, it carried an icy edge.

“She’s here now.

She won’t relent until she’s made her intentions clear.” Observing Taotao’s understanding, Zhao Shu’s demeanor softened.

No longer rushed, he nodded, conceding, “Very well.” Yet, Shao Xiaozhi’s jealousy surged as she witnessed Zhao Shu’s compliance with Taotao, their closeness stoking her resentment.

Spewing her words with anger, she accused, “Young Master Zhao, don’t be deceived by Taotao.

Their family is deceitful!

During our marriage discussions, I pleaded for Taotao’s assistance, but she refused.

Yet, she clandestinely ensnared you behind my back.

What’s admirable about someone who steals her cousin’s beloved?

Even Elder Aunt orchestrated against us, concealing your family’s faults while scheming behind our backs.

Young Master Zhao, their cunning knows no bounds!” “Do not fear Fifth Cousin.

My brother surpasses him in power.

He’ll ascend to intermediate Primus and secure high office!

With him, there’s nothing to fear!” Zhao Shu erupted, “Are you bereft of reason?

Fantasies require treatment!

Your brother’s prowess demands examinationaEUR”perhaps a physician can discern your affliction!” “I reject any notion of discussing marriage with you.

My discernment isn’t that poor!

Numerous suitors seek my hand, yet I’ve solely considered Taotao.

From start to finish, she’s been the only one I’ve desired!” “Since there’s been a misunderstanding, allow me to clarify.

Our clan has never orchestrated a marriage agreement for me.

This was intentional, not an oversight.

I mentioned it to dispel any misguided notions.

My words were meant to preserve the dignity of my in-laws and Taotao.

After all, we’re kin, aren’t we?” “I hadn’t anticipated that my attempt to save face would be misconstrued!

Had I known, I would have rebutted your claims outright!” “Listen closely now.

I’ve never entertained the idea of marriage with your familyaEUR”never!

Refrain from tarnishing Taotao and my mother-in-law’s reputation.

Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to respond firmly!” Shao Xiaozhi appeared thunderstruck.

Her eyes widened, complexion paled.

She shook her head rigidly.

“No, that can’t be!

It’s impossibleaEUR| You, you treated me kindly, smiled at me, even shielded me from those unruly childrenaEUR| How could youaEUR| How could youaEUR| It must be Taotao, right?

She deliberately lured you away, enticed you.

You were interested in me initially!

I despise her, loathe her to the core!”
