Chapter 900: A bit embarrassed and a bit ashamed
Qiao Xuan sometimes admired Qiao Kou's character, she was flexible and adaptable. After being slapped in the face by Qiao Wei, she was able to follow and act as a lackey as if nothing had happened once her injury healed.
The temple was not big, and there was no scenery in the back hills, so Qiao Xuan was bored and just stood under the eaves to kill time.
County Magistrate Yang happened to appear at the other end of the corridor. Seeing Qiao Xuan under the eaves in front of the hall, County Magistrate Yang seemed a little hesitant, then he raised his foot and slowly walked towards Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan seemed to sense something, and when she looked up, she saw him.
Qiao Xuan thought about it, went down the stairs, stood in the empty space in front of the main hall, and called a young monk who was passing by.
"Master Yang, do you have something to ask me?"
County Magistrate Yang paused for a moment and forced a smile: "I, I do have a few words to say to the Second Miss."
"Then go ahead." Qiao Xuan nodded, "Please wait here for a moment, young master, and be our witness. After all, men and women should not touch each other. It would be bad if someone spreads rumors."
"County Magistrate Yang, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
County Magistrate Yang and the young master were both stunned.
The smile on the young master's face was uglier than crying. He couldn't refuse the pilgrim's request, but he felt that it was not appropriate for him to be here.
County Magistrate Yang was embarrassed, a little awkward and a little ashamed.
What did Qiao Xuan mean by this? As if she would take the opportunity to get involved with her. Why did she think so?
It's obvious that she can't get close to me, right?
It shouldn't be like this!
The Qiao Xuan he imagined shouldn't be like this.
When County Magistrate Qiao and Mrs. Qiao invited him and his son to visit, he refused.
He had never thought of canceling the engagement, although he felt regretful for getting engaged so early, but later the engagement was successfully canceled. He did not object and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of this relationship, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Qiao family from now on.
But my mother said that Magistrate Qiao would be transferred back to Beijing soon. If we couldn't become relatives, we could still be friends. What if? What if we meet again in the future?
In official circles, more friends mean more paths, and it is always better to make good friends than enemies.
Besides, his ex-fiancée, the second daughter of the Qiao family, had already married the scholar from a peasant family. There was no way she would bother him anymore, so he had nothing to be shy about.
He thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
More importantly, his mother only knew that the second daughter of the Qiao family married a scholar from a farming family, but he knew that the scholar was the top scorer in this autumn's imperial examination and would surely become a Jinshi next year unless something unexpected happened.
He felt inexplicably complicated in his heart, and subconsciously, he was vaguely curious and wanted to meet what kind of people his ex-fiancée and the scholar were.
So he came to Heshan County with his mother.
He didn't see Miss Qiao yesterday, but his mother did.
His mother had a bad impression of her. She said that she was mean and arrogant, disrespectful to her elders, ignorant but proud. Such a person had nothing to do with virtue. Fortunately, he did not marry her.
Hearing his mother say this, he secretly felt lucky!
But when he went out today, the Miss Qiao he saw seemed to be a little different from what his mother said.
