Chapter 1962: Ridiculous Chapter 1962: Ridiculous Editor: Henyee Translations Why would Shao Yunduan suddenly fall for the third daughter of the Lu family?
After all, Shao Yunduan was just a Prefect in a remote area, recently erging from a perilous situation.
He hadn’t even reached a high rank yet, and their good days were just beginning.
It seed absurd for him to act so arrogantly.
Mrs.
Jia was equally surprised by Qiao Xuan’s reaction.
“Madam Shao, are you serious?
Don’t you know?” Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle.
“If I didn’t know my husband so well, I might have fallen for it too.
It’s clearly just baseless gossip!
What a ridiculous notion!” But her amusent quickly turned to anger.
“Who spread such malicious rumors?
If I find out, they’ll regret it!” She couldn’t fathom the malicious intent behind spreading such falsehoods.
“But…” Mrs.
Jia faltered, looking perplexed.
“This news has been circulating for days!
I heard that Lord Shao rescued a damsel in distress during the Lantern Festival…” Sensing that sothing was amiss, Qiao Xuan pressed Mrs.
Jia for more information.
True to her character, Mrs.
Jia divulged all she knew, unwilling to hide anything from Qiao Xuan.
The rumors sounded plausible and confident, and with so many witnesses, it was easy to believe.
Lord Shao had even requested Constable Sun to escort Miss Lu ho.
The fact that Lord Shao didn’t refute the rumors only fueled their spread… Mrs.
Jia couldn’t help but sympathize with Qiao Xuan when she saw the distress in her eyes.
Dealing with such widespread rumors would undoubtedly be challenging.
She feared that Madam Shao might eventually have to acquiesce to Lord Shao taking Miss Lu as a concubine.
If not, regardless of the justification Lord Shao provided for rejecting her, he would be seen as a heartless villain.
Fortunately, Third Miss Lu was the daughter of a concubine, and even the niece of the i Family’s First Mada couldn’t exert much influence… Qiao Xuan quickly grasped the situation.
Her husband had been frad.
It was possible that the i Family and the Lu Family were behind this sche.
However, neither Sun Bai nor her husband seed to take the matter seriously.
They had been preoccupied with other tasks in recent days, and even Songshi and the others were busy.
Consequently, while there was likely an uproar outside, their lack of response might be interpreted as either tacit approval or guilt.
This was becoming quite troubleso.
Although she was only a concubine’s daughter, she still had a reputation to uphold.
If the situation didn’t resolve favorably, it could tarnish her reputation irreparably.
This could even force a fabricated relationship to beco a reality!
Those schers!
Qiao Xuan seethed with anger.
Mrs.
Jia took her leave soon after.
The mont she departed, Qiao Xuan instructed Mianmian and Ah Ye to gather information.
In truth, if they didn’t gather information, they wouldn’t know the extent of the situation.
However, if they did, the need to ask would be unnecessary… Qiao Xuan summoned Shao Yunduan back.
Shao Yunduan was utterly perplexed, even more so than Qiao Xuan.
Initially, he had no clue what Qiao Xuan was talking about.
This only added to the confusion!
Who was this third daughter of the Lu family?
He didn’t know her, nor did he owe her anything.
Regarding the incident at the Lantern Festival, it was true that soone had accidentally bumped into him.
As the Prefect of the State, he had to compensate, regardless of whether he was at fault.
Little did he expect it would escalate into such a ss!
Shao Yunduan grew frustrated.
“What is the i Family plotting?” Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
“Now they all think that my husband is so lonely without anyone to look after him, so he should be showing concern for her!”
