It may be challenging for our families to et again, which is why he believes it’s important to treat Mada Tang and Officer Yang well before we depart.

When Mada Qiao sent a letter stating that sothing had occurred, leading to the annulnt of the engagent between Obo Xuan and her family, Mada Tang was overjoyed. When she heard that Qiao Xuan had beco involved with a poor girl from the countryside and had her reputation tarnished, Mada Tang found even greater satisfaction, considering it as her revenge.
