Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

County Magistrate Yang couldn’t help but reminisce about the vibrant and beautiful girl, brimming with youthful energy. He forced himself to say, “Mother, please refrain from mentioning her any further.”

Madame Tang failed to notice the change in her son’s demeanor. She assumed he despised Qiao Xuan as much as she did. So she nodded with a smile.

“Alright, alright, I won’t mention her anymore. She’s not worth our attention!” As they departed, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan prepared to leave as well.

Madame Qiao, wearing a smile, suggested, “Since you’re 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!”

“Thank 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 it’s best for us to return as soon as possible.”

When Shao Yunduan declined her invitation, Madame Qiao’s expression stiffened. She exchanged a glance with Qiao Xuan and sighed. ‘Yunduan, are you upset? Please don’t misunderstand! Old Master and I invited County Niagistrate Yang and his mother as our guests, but it’s purely a social gathering, nothing more.”

“Xuan has already called off the engagement with County Magistrate Yang, and they have no connection whatsoever. Old Master and I can vouch for that!”

“Madame Tang cares for Xuan and cares for Junior; that’s the extent of it. It’s all out of concern, nothing more. Please don’t misunderstand her.”

“Otherwise, Xuan might feel unjustly treated.”

Officer Qiao didn’t dwell on the matter for too long. Upon hearing Madame Qiao’s words, he suddenly realized that it wasn’t appropriate to reprimand Qiao Xuan while County Magistrate Yang and his mother were visiting.

However, no matter what he said, it wouldn’t make a difference. So he nodded with a dignified expression. “You’re absolutely right. We should never lend credence to baseless rumors and accusations.’

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. “You’re exaggerating. I’m not someone who can’t differentiate between what’s important and what’s not. My wife and I are united, and I trust her completely. I have no interest in those who have no connection to me.”

“Yes, I’m not foolish either! I am the wife of the Provincial Champion, and my husband’s future is promising. I wouldn’t jeopardize my own prospects by getting entangled with someone I’ve never even met. Madame Qiao, you’re overthinking. There’s no need for you to explain yourself like this!”

Madame Qiao cursed inwardly, her smile faltering slightly. “Indeed! It’s good that Yunduan doesn’t entertain suspicions or indulge in baseless speculation.”

Shao Yunduan affirmed, “No, I have full trust in my wife. It’s not so easy for others to sow discord between us.’

Madame Qiao’s smile turned rigid, her frustration growing.

Qiao Xuan chuckled. “Since you trust me this much, I won’t let you down!” 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 couldn’t 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..
