Chapter 210 - 106 If He Could Write My Name Backwards
The aunt and nephew exchanged glances, in which they saw each other’s helplessness and wry smiles.
"What’s the matter?" Sang Hong looked around with some puzzlement and chuckled, "Don’t worry, this is great news. Uncle and Auntie will definitely be happy to hear it. They won’t make things difficult or mock us!" not being troublesome or scornful.
"Sit down!" Mrs. Fang pressed him down forcefully and glared at him, "Use your brain to think! Now that your younger brother has become Xie Yuan, he’s considered somebody in Yangliu Town. Who knows how many people will try to cozy up to him, offering fields and such! Knowing Uncle and Auntie’s temper, using your brother’s name, there’s nothing they wouldn’t dare to do! Do you want to get your brother killed?"
Sang Hong’s face changed, and he broke out in a cold sweat, "This, maybe—it won’t be like that..."
"Do you really believe that in your heart? Hmph, they dare to covet Miss Wan, let alone your brother!" Mrs. Fang sneered coldly.
Sang Hong’s heart sank, and his palms turned ice cold. He knew his wife was right; with Uncle and Auntie’s characters, it was entirely possible. Besides, they were elders, and we are the juniors, not even allowed to speak a word of dissent, otherwise, it would be considered "disrespectful and unfilial!" If father and mother were still here, they could suppress Uncle and Auntie a bit, as they couldn’t go against the principle of "filial piety and fraternal duty," but father and mother are gone!
"Sister-in-law is right. I hurried back before the messenger went to the government office to report the good news, precisely because of this issue." Sang Yufei sighed softly, "It’s not that I resent Uncle and Auntie, it’s just that their actions make it impossible to respect them!"
Mrs. Fang glanced at Sang Yufei and thought to herself that Xie Yuangong spoke with such elegance! Those things that couple did not just make it impossible for people to respect them; it made her want to slap them across their faces!
"But in at most a couple of days, the messenger reporting the good news will arrive. We can’t keep it from them at all!" Sang Hong couldn’t help but frown. For the sake of his brother’s future and reputation, he could disregard anything else, and the uncle and aunt had to step aside.
"I have an idea we might try; at least, it could shut them up..." Sang Yufei said, unfolding his plan in detail to his brother and sister-in-law.
