Shao Meiyun was dumbfounded when she heard this. True she was a greedy and ruthless woman but at the same time, Shao Meiyun was someone who cared for her life much more than anything. If not for this fact, she wouldn't have thrown her first husband out of the house after listening to Master Chu who said to her that the condition of her first husband might affect her as well. 

She was precautious and would not do anything that would harm her in any way. When Shao Hui ran away from home and took refuge with Mo Yan, Shao Meiyun was foolish enough to believe that she would be able to take Mo Yan down. 

But Mo Yan did not even need to go all out to deal with her and her gang of hunters. Only then did Shao Meiyun learn the difference between her and Mo Yan, this was the difference why she did not dare to go against Mo Yan even though she knew that Shao Hui was with her.
