章節 714: What If

What if Shao Yunduan had the dumb luck and made it to Advanced Scholar and ranked high again?

What if he became recognized by some important figure in the capital?

What if… well… you never knew…

What if…

He couldn't help feeling uncertain about his past treatment of Shao Yunduan. He had never been kind to him.

Now he could understand why Shao Yunduan might have kept his talents hidden from him. It seemed perfectly reasonable that he would conceal such a secret.

Thinking about these, County Magistrate Qiao suddenly felt less saddened.

He spoke up, "Let's not dwell on the past. Instead, we should focus on the future and treat our family well. When they come to visit, we should welcome them with open arms. As for Xuan, she calls you mother and you should guide her properly, so that she knows I am her father and can work for me. This would benefit her and her family in the long run…"

Madame Qiao felt a wave of disgust wash over her.
