Capítulo 885: Unimportant

Qiao Xuan found amusement in the situation. "I don't mind being the subject of laughter. When people inquire why I address her that way, I can simply tell them the truth. It's a fact, isn't it? There's no need to hide it!"

"Father, please don't make things difficult for me. I cannot bring myself to call her mother. She has been too malicious for me to do so at this moment."

"Enough!" County Magistrate Qiao's anger surged as he snapped. "What are you talking about? Your mother has found you a good suitor, and you should express your gratitude to her! The past is in the past, and you are doing well now! What more do you want?"

"Are you blaming me as well, Father?"

Qiao Xuan was about to respond when Shao Yunduan interjected, "Whether my wife forgives you or not is inconsequential."

County Magistrate Qiao was taken aback, suddenly realizing that he may have misspoke. If he were to ask for forgiveness, did that imply an admission of guilt?
