A320 - link btn Maneuvering load limits and VFE

In Airbus 320, Maneuvering load limit with flaps down is 0 to +2g. It means that flaps can also take extra load if required. If this is the case, how exceeding VFE causes trouble?

The point I want to make is about the stress on the surfaces. Increase in stress due to increase in load factor or Increase in stress due to airspeed beyond VFE, how they are different? stress is stress after all. A surface experiencing stress [force] doesn't change its behavior as per the source of stress.
