Province

No one found that it was strange, when Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan did not show up in front of people. They would be too embarrassed to do so, and people could totally understand that.
At the Qiao Family.
Officer Qiao understood that it was not a very reasonable thing he did to have borrowed this much money from others. So, he stayed quiet and tried to avoid meeting people during this time.
He even told Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei as well as the others to remain at home, rather than attend any banquets… at least for the next few months.
Madame Qiao stayed at home, saying that she was practicing Buddhism.
Even if County Magistrate Qiao did not tell her to, she would not have gone out by herself. She knew that she would not be well-received after she got so much money from others.
Qiao Wei did not step out either.
She hoped that some of her girlfriends could come to the door and visit her. But no one showed up.
