Her husband’s accomplishments would indeed be impressive.

At that time, she would still be the proud “Heaven’s Daughter” and the most esteemed young lady in the capital, admired by all. Everyone would commend her excellent taste.

In due time, this incident would be forgotten, buried in the depths of people’s memories. No one would dare to bring it up to her.

Tian Shanshan wasn’t panicking; she was seething with anger. She couldn’t believe there was such a foolish man in the world who would abandon her, the Minister of Personnel’s daughter.

She was frustrated that Primus Shao had already married, and even if she managed to steal him away, he would still have belonged to another woman.

But then she realized, what difference would it make if she married someone who had never been married before? Before marriage, many princes, kings, and young noblemen from prestigious families boasted about their abstinence from concubines or courtesans. It was all a facade.

That thought somewhat comforted her.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were equally shocked by the news.

The couple found themselves contemplating the situation—what was happening?

Qiao Xuan chuckled to herself, acknowledging that she had wished for some challenges to test her in life, as everything had been going too smoothly. True gold feared no fire; only through trials and tribulations could true emotions be revealed and cherished, even if it meant sacrificing everything.

And now, they found themselves facing an unexpected ordeal.

Caught completely off guard.

“Absurd!” Shao Yunduan’s frustration was evident as he furrowed his brow, voicing his thoughts. “Darling, it’s just a mishap. It will blow over in a few days. We shouldn’t worry about it!”

Qiao Xuan regarded him, then spoke after a brief pause, “But what if it doesn’t blow over?”

A sinking feeling gripped the couple’s hearts.

They were not naive; they understood that this matter wouldn’t simply fade away.

The Tian Family lacked noble status, and they had committed a significant blunder. The entire capital was ridiculing them. How could they simply endure it?

While Shao Yunduan was not at fault, the noble families wouldn’t care about such details.

Qiao Xuan didn’t expect the Tian Family to be reasonable or seek a resolution. Instead, they would likely vent their anger.

As Shao Yunduan’s wife, she and Shao Yunduan would become targets of blame.

Qiao Xuan didn’t fear death because she knew the Tian Family wouldn’t have the audacity to go that far. However, they might resort to more clandestine actions.

“I will,” Shao Yunduan declared resolutely, gripping Qiao Xuan’s hands firmly. He appeared determined and serious. “Darling, Xuan, don’t worry. I will honor my promise. I won’t pursue an official career anymore!”

Shao Yunduan felt a sense of relief as he spoke those words.

He had already achieved his aspirations: recommended man, Advanced Scholar, and Primus. He was on the path to becoming a scholar!

He had no regrets in this lifetime.

If the realm of officialdom was shrouded in darkness, where those in power could act with impunity, then he would distance himself from it.

He would rather retreat to the county and spend the rest of his life peacefully with his wife.

Qiao Xuan was taken aback, her eyes widening in astonishment. “Are you certain? But I don’t want that to happen!”
