County Magistrate Yang discreetly assessed Qiao Xuan. She noticed his gaze but chose not to respond.

He was a stranger to her.

As the men and women took their seats, County Magistrate Qiao exchanged greetings with County Magistrate Yang through the screen, while Madame Qiao greeted Madame Tang alongside Ojao Xuan.

Once the banquet began, Madame Qiao wore a bright smile and welcomed their guests warmly. Madame Tang reciprocated the greetings but avoided direct eye contact with Qiao Xuan. Occasionally, their eyes met briefly before Madame Tang looked away.

Suddenly, Madame Qiao let out a sigh and glanced at Qiao Xuan as she spoke to Madame Tang with a smile. “Our Old Master will be transferred back to the capital in a few months. It may be challenging for our families to meet again, which is why he believes it’s important to treat Madame Tang and Officer Yang well before we depart. After all, we could have become relatives!” “Unfortunately, it is Xuan who has not been fortunate enough to have a promising young man like Officer Yang and a kind mother-in-law like Madame Tang!

Upon hearing Madame Qiao’s words, Madame Tang felt a slight sense of relief. She smiled and replied, “That is all in the past, Madame Qiao. There is no need to mention it anymore.”

Madame Qiao continued with a smile, “You’re right, we should not dwell on the past. It was an unexpected turn of events, but I’m glad Old Master and I are reassured.’

“Even if we can’t become in-laws, we can still get to know each other. Perhaps when Officer Yang is promoted to the capital in the future, we can develop a closer relationship! ”

Having an additional friend meant having another connection within the court. No one would willingly offend their peers unless it was absolutely necessary. Madame Tang was well aware of this, so she quickly engaged in a friendly conversation with Madame Obo.

Initially, Madame Tang did not hold a high opinion of Qiao Xuan, her son’s former fiancée, after he passed the imperial examination. However, her son had performed exceptionally well and received a promotion the following year.

It was a promising future, a rare achievement.

He was still very young.

If it weren’t for this troublesome marriage alliance, her son could have been chosen by noble ladies in the capital and become the son-in-law of a prestigious family, propelling him to even greater heights in the capital.

Although becoming the head of a county at such a young age was already impressive, wouldn’t it be better for him to have an even brighter future?

Her son was a top student, young, and handsome!

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

She believed that it was Qiao Xuan who had ruined her son’s future, so she took pleasure in her misfortune.

Madame Tang had anticipated that Qiao Xuan would live a wretched life. However, to her surprise, upon Madame Qiao’s invitation, Qiao Xuan appeared remarkably beautiful and graceful.

Furthermore, her impoverished husband, who was a Cultivated Talent, was preparing for the intermediate examination.

Soon, they would be taking the examination in the capital.

Well…

Upon their first meeting, Madame Tang experienced a mix of complex and uneasy emotions.

However, Madame Tang had forgotten a crucial detail—when her son and Qiao Xuan were engaged, she had already lost her husband..
