Translator: Henyee Translations   Editor: Henyee Translations
County Magistrate Yang couldnât help but reminisce about the vibrant and beautiful girl, brimming with youthful energy. He forced himself to say, âMother, please refrain from mentioning her any further.â
Madame Tang failed to notice the change in her sonâs demeanor. She assumed he despised Qiao Xuan as much as she did. So she nodded with a smile.
âAlright, alright, I wonât mention her anymore. Sheâs not worth our attention!â As they departed, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan prepared to leave as well.
Madame Qiao, wearing a smile, suggested, âSince youâre already here, why not stay a few more days? Yunduan will soon be heading to the capital, and being part of the Qiao Family, Old Master can offer you some valuable advice!â
âThank you, Mrs. Gut I will make sure to visit you and bid farewell before we leave. We have many matters to attend to back home, and itâs best for us to return as soon as possible.â
When Shao Yunduan declined her invitation, Madame Qiaoâs expression stiffened. She exchanged a glance with Qiao Xuan and sighed. âYunduan, are you upset? Please donât misunderstand! Old Master and I invited County Niagistrate Yang and his mother as our guests, but itâs purely a social gathering, nothing more.â
âXuan has already called off the engagement with County Magistrate Yang, and they have no connection whatsoever. Old Master and I can vouch for that!â
âMadame Tang cares for Xuan and cares for Junior; thatâs the extent of it. Itâs all out of concern, nothing more. Please donât misunderstand her.â
âOtherwise, Xuan might feel unjustly treated.â
Officer Qiao didnât dwell on the matter for too long. Upon hearing Madame Qiaoâs words, he suddenly realized that it wasnât appropriate to reprimand Qiao Xuan while County Magistrate Yang and his mother were visiting.
However, no matter what he said, it wouldnât make a difference. So he nodded with a dignified expression. âYouâre absolutely right. We should never lend credence to baseless rumors and accusations.â
Qiao Xuan beamed brightly and sweetly.
The two of them played their parts perfectly, adding fuel to the fire. Their performance was quite professional.
Shao Yunduan remained composed but shot a glance at the pair. âYouâre exaggerating. Iâm not someone who canât differentiate between whatâs important and whatâs not. My wife and I are united, and I trust her completely. I have no interest in those who have no connection to me.â
âYes, Iâm not foolish either! I am the wife of the Provincial Champion, and my husbandâs future is promising. I wouldnât jeopardize my own prospects by getting entangled with someone Iâve never even met. Madame Qiao, youâre overthinking. Thereâs no need for you to explain yourself like this!â
Madame Qiao cursed inwardly, her smile faltering slightly. âIndeed! Itâs good that Yunduan doesnât entertain suspicions or indulge in baseless speculation.â
Shao Yunduan affirmed, âNo, I have full trust in my wife. Itâs not so easy for others to sow discord between us.â
Madame Qiaoâs smile turned rigid, her frustration growing.
Qiao Xuan chuckled. âSince you trust me this much, I wonât let you down!â Madame Qiao now realized that these two were conspiring to mock her!
She sneered inwardly. Fine then, what was the point of flattering them? Were they truly that devoted to each other? She would wait and see!
She simply couldnât believe that any man could endure such a situation without harboring resentment! No man could remain unaffected by such a thing!
The seed of doubt had been planted in their hearts, and it would inevitably sprout and grow, sooner or later..
