Shao Yunduan promptly stood up and spoke with a smile, "Father-in-law, Officer Yang, my wife is here to fetch me. I'll take my leave now."
County Magistrate Qiao frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Xuan, you're so foolish! A woman should be gentle and virtuous, not casually and indifferently meddling in her husband's affairs."
Shao Yunduan responded, "Father-in-law, my wife cares about me, and I appreciate that. Please don't blame her; she hasn't done anything wrong."
Officer Qiao remained silent.
He had such good intentions! He was trying to guide his daughter-in-law, but now he was undermining his own reputation!
They were not a harmonious couple in his eyes.
"In that case, you may depart now."
"I bid you farewell."
Shao Yunduan respectfully cupped his hands and left alongside Qiao Xuan.
County Magistrate Yang couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache as he witnessed the two departing hand in hand.
