And Qiao Xuan was concerned that this revelation would make Shao Yunduan uncomfortable.
Therefore, when Qiao Xuan confronted Mada Qiao, she deliberately omitted ntioning the previous marriage alliance or Mada Qiao’s attempt to have her killed, which Shao Yunduan had bravely foiled.
However, to Qiao Xuan’s astonishnt, Mada Qiao brought up the topic in a distasteful manner.
Qiao Xuan inwardly cursed her, considering her a despicable woman.
She was about to respond when Shao Yunduan interjected, “My wife chose to marry because it was our destiny to be together. We were ant to be together, and I consider myself fortunate to have her. Our family is blessed to have her.’
“l was nothing more than a low-ranking Cultivated Talent, while my wife’s previous fiancé held the esteed position of County Magistrate. There was a significant disparity between us. Mada Qiao, did you truly marry off my wife to for her own benefit?”
Mada Qiao’s eyes were widened.
She had a plethora of sches running through her mind, but she was left dumbfounded by this question.
Could Shao Yunduan be so foolish as to degrade himself just to defend Qiao
Xuan?
Qiao Xuan was deeply touched. She looked at Shao Yunduan with overwhelming emotions, and he responded with a gentle smile, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze.
Internally, Qiao Xuan was screaming with delight. She fought the urge to throw herself into his arms right then and there!
Her husband was incredibly kind! He was standing up for her and making her feel imnsely proud. She longed to flaunt this to the despicable couple before her!
Qiao Xuan felt that if she could boast in that mont, she would look down on the couple with her chin held high in the sky.
County Magistrate Qiao was also taken aback by Mada Qiao’s ntion of this embarrassing incident. Feeling displeased, he coughed and calmly interjected, “We… we need not discuss this matter right now…”
He aid to win Shao Yunduan over to his side, so he genuinely didn’t want to delve into the topic of Qiao Xuan’s previous engagent.
Qiao Xuan chid in, “Why not? Mada Qiao started it. My husband is absolutely right. We are destined to be together, according to the will of Heaven. Mada Qiao, you have no part in this. Or, why did my husband happen to rescue when I was pushed into the water and on the verge of death?”
She saw no reason to evade the truth when her husband was fine with it.
“What!
Both Shao Yunduan and County Magistrate Qiao’s faces changed simultaneously.
Evidently, neither of them had prior knowledge of this incident.
Mada Qiao was taken aback. She retorted, “Stop talking nonsense!” “Nonsense? I wasn’t a re child. Why would I suddenly fall into the water? I know very well whether I was pushed or not.”
“Moreover, I never explicitly accused Mada Qiao of being involved. Why are you getting so defensive now?”
Mada Qiao stuttered, “…l just… I just find it utterly ridiculous. But you’re insinuating that it was , aren’t you?”
“But it seems like you’re making a confession!”
Shao Yunduan’s anger and heartache grew stronger. He sneered, “Officer Father-in-law, do you really think my wife would falsely confess to sothing like this?”
County Magistrate Qiao forced himself to respond, “Wasn’t it just an accident?
Perhaps Xuan is mistaken…”
Ignoring his weak answer, Shao Yunduan pressed on. “Let take a guess.
During that ti, my wife’s previous fiancé and his family ca to discuss the marriage. Soone didn’t want her to marry into a respectable family, so they orchestrated an incident like this. Isn’t that right?”
“No, no, that’s impossible…,” County Magistrate Qiao stuttered, realizing that his own denial was feeble.
Shao Yunduan was correct. The Yang Family had indeed co to discuss the wedding at that ti.
