The County Magistrate sneered inwardly, quietly remarking, "Your mother is unwell, so we won't keep you for lunch. Qiao Xuan, go visit your mother and then you may leave."
"Okay!"
Qiao Xuan smiled, stood up, and paid no attention to his sudden coldness, causing County Magistrate Qiao to feel a sense of futility in his actions.
Shao Yunduan chimed in, "Sweetheart, hurry up. I'm waiting for you here. Let's go home as soon as possible; it's getting cold."
"Okay!"
The two exchanged a glance and smiled, completely disregarding County Magistrate Qiao.
County Magistrate Qiao couldn't help but feel an urge to curse; very well, he would witness their failure!
When Qiao Xuan arrived at the courtyard, the maid passed on the message to Madame Qiao. After waiting for a while without her appearing, Qiao Xuan couldn't help but grin.
This lineal mother of hers was playing the same tricks she always did.
