Chapter 901: How Could That Be

He couldn’t find any traces of the meanness, pride, or stupidity his mother had described in Qiao Xuan.

On the contrary, she captivated his attention.

She exuded a calm, natural, and elegant aura that made his eyes light up.

Despite the obvious ostracization and isolation from Madame Qiao, her mother, and the Qiao Family servants, Qiao Xuan walked among them without a trace of timidity, embarrassment, or anger.

It was as if they were attempting to suppress and ridicule her, but she stood tall and strong, emanating confidence that seemed to disregard Madame Qiao’s existence.

To Qiao Xuan, those people were nothing more than insignificant clowns.

County Magistrate Yangs heart skipped a beat. He couldn’t accept this.

What troubled him even more was that she had noticed him too, yet her gaze held no emotions.

It was as if he, like everyone else, was merely a stranger in her eyes.

But how could that be?

He was her former fiancé, and their engagement had been broken off due to her own mistake. As a concubine’s daughter, it should have been an honor for her to marry him. Yet, she showed no reaction upon seeing him.

She glanced at him briefly and then averted her gaze.

He felt so insignificant in Qiao Xuan!s eyes.

This realization left County Magistrate Yang, who had always been arrogant and believed that Qiao Xuan would deeply regret losing their engagement, feeling deeply displeased.

He appeared visibly humiliated.

The feeling of being disregarded only intensified his displeasure and discomfort. Eventually, he reached a breaking point. When he spotted her in the intermediate temple, he unconsciously made his way towards her.

He felt the need to engage in a conversation with her, even though he had no clear idea of what he wanted to discuss.

What he hadn’t anticipated was Qiao Xuan’s frank and composed demeanor, to the point where she even called upon a young master to act as a witness. County Magistrate Yang was both taken aback and further humiliated.

Who did Second Miss think he was?

Did she believe that he would pursue her relentlessly, harboring ulterior motives towards her?

How absurd!

County Magistrate Yang suppressed the bitterness in his heart, forcing a neutral smile as he observed Qiao Xuan. “Second Miss seems to be faring well lately.”

Qiao Xuan replied with a smile, “Thank you, the bitterness has indeed subsided.’

Qiao Xuan spoke the truth. Although she wasn’t the original host, she was aware of the numerous hardships the original host had endured.

Qiao Xuan had no intention of taking advantage of Madame Qiao. She aimed to reveal the truth.

However, County Magistrate Yang, who had been feeling displeased, couldn’t help but show a slight change in his expression.

He felt exposed.

So Qiao Xuan was implying that her suffering had been a result of the marriage alliance, but now that she was going to marry Cultivated Talent Shao, all her grievances would vanish?

How confident she was to utter such words in his presence!

County Magistrate Yang responded with a harsh tone, “Second Miss, aren’t you afraid of being misunderstood? People might think you’re complaining about your mother’s family!’

Qiao Xuan calmly replied, “Officer Yang, as a daughter born from a concubine without a mother, do you believe I would have a better life without my birth mother around?”
