Not Part of the Qiao Family

But Qiao Xuan's innocence had been tarnished due to her connection with the man who rescued her from the water. County Magistrate Qiao grew furious and blamed Qiao Xuan for bringing trouble to the family.

As he reflected on the situation, even County Magistrate Qiao couldn't shake the feeling that it all seemed too coincidental. He even began to suspect that his wife might have been involved in orchestrating these events.

Furious, County Magistrate Qiao shot a cold glare at Madame Qiao.

Qiao Xuan spoke calmly, "Madame Qiao accuses me of being unfilial. But I would like to ask, what have I done to deserve such a label? Did I break any contracts? Did I steal from my in-laws' family to benefit my own family?"

County Magistrate Qiao and Madame Qiao were both taken aback by her words.
