"It's possible that Shi Lingqiao bribed these bandits to ruin Miss Qiao's reputation, but the bandits failed. Fearing that she would be betrayed by these people, she rode her horse to rescue her."
"If the two hadn't argued on the road and fallen off their horses, they would have been far away by now."
She then asked, somewhat puzzled, "But if that's the case, how could that bandit leader have mistaken Shi Lingqiao for Miss Qiao?"
Suddenly, she felt it was all very complicated and she couldn't quite understand it.
The old woman stroked the sandalwood bracelet on her wrist. "Who knows? Anyway, it's none of our business, so there's no need to investigate further."
"I'm just a little curious, after what happened to Miss Shi, will Young Master Huo still marry her?"
Being touched and kissed by a bandit leader in front of so many people, Shi Lingqiao's reputation was ruined.
In the case of a poor family, there is a high chance that the engagement will be called off.

Lady Hou said, "Now that you mention it, I can't help but be curious too."
"Anyway, if it were my family, I would definitely use the excuse that she has lost her innocence to prevent her from entering the house."
She wouldn't dare to have a daughter-in-law like that.
She then changed the subject, saying, "But if it were Young Master Huo, it would be hard to say."
"He could make his own mother sick for Shi Lingqiao's sake, and he was even willing to give up his position as the heir apparent. He might not care about this little thing."
The old lady said, "If he still wants to marry her even after all this, then he's truly hopeless."
"The Duke's mansion will likely find it difficult to have peace in the future."
This Shi Lingqiao is a complete troublemaker.
Lady Hou couldn't help but worry about the eldest princess. "Indeed, if such a person is allowed into the family, who knows if the eldest princess will be constantly angered in the future."
The old lady smiled and said, "The Princess is no pushover; she's ruthless enough to strip her son of his title of heir."
Lady Hou thought it made sense. "Mother, when we return to the capital, I'd like to visit the Duke's mansion first."
She and the eldest princess were such good friends, she had to hurry up and tell the eldest princess about what happened today, to remind her.
The old lady nodded, "Go ahead, it's good to let the eldest princess prepare herself in advance."
