Qiao Xuan found amusement in the situation. “1 don’t mind being the subject of laughter. When people inquire why I address her that way, I can simply tell them the truth. It’s a fact, isn’t it? There’s no need to hide it!”

“Father, please don’t make things difficult for me. I cannot bring myself to call her mother. She has been too malicious for me to do so at this moment.’

“Enough!” County Magistrate Qiao’s anger surged as he snapped. “What are you talking about? Your mother has found you a good suitor, and you should express your gratitude to her! The past is in the past, and you are doing well now! What more do you want?”

“Are you blaming me as well, Father?”

Qiao Xuan was about to respond when Shao Yunduan interjected, “Whether my wife forgives you or not is inconsequential.”

County Magistrate Qiao was taken aback, suddenly realizing that he may have misspoke. If he were to ask for forgiveness, did that imply an admission of guilt?

He was her father, and he believed he had done nothing wrong! Parents held the utmost authority in a family.

He had given her life, raised her, and secured a good marriage for her.

Everything seemed perfectly reasonable. He saw no fault in his actions.

County Magistrate Qiao promptly aligned himself with the perception of reason, standing tall.

Shao Yunduan didn’t let the matter rest. “Father-in-law, if you genuinely seek my wife’s forgiveness, you should ask for it, shouldn’t you?”

Ask for forgiveness?

County Magistrate Qiao was far from pleased. Why must he ask Qiao Xuan for forgiveness?

“l am her father!”

Qiao Xuan sneered, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Indeed, and that’s why we need to put on a good show, at the very least.”

County Magistrate Qiao’s heart skipped a beat. “What do you mean by that?”

Shao Yunduan stood his ground. “That is precisely what we mean.”

“You!”

County Magistrate Qiao trembled, a mix of surprise and anger coursing through him.

A good show?

“Yunduan, do you even understand what you’re saying? You’re not even an official yet, and you’re trying to distance yourself from me? Do you realize how difficult it is to succeed in government without any connections?”

County Magistrate Qiao was both furious and scornful. He had expected this son-in-law of his to be of assistance, but here he was, slipping away before even joining their ranks.

This impractical man wouldn’t go far in life.

“l don’t care about being an official. I care about my wife.”

When Shao Yunduan uttered those words, County Magistrate Qiao instantly lost interest. His disappointment grew, and he began to look down on him.

How lacking in ambition! How narrow-minded!

Well, he was from the countryside, after all. His horizons were limited. He didn’t understand how to strive for progress and mistakenly believed he had reached the pinnacle by becoming a mere Recommended Man! County Magistrate Qiao sneered, feeling that he had misjudged Shao

Yunduan.

What a short-sighted and absurd man!

In that instant, County Magistrate Qiao gave up on Shao Yunduan. He had contemplated teaching him the ways of an official in the government office, even considering providing him with a recommendation letter to meet the Qiao Family in the capital or relying on their support. However, his interest waned completely.

Let this man encounter difficulties in the capital. Only then would he understand the challenges a real official must face!

At that time, he would come to realize the childishness and absurdity of his

current words and actions!
