"Your relatives!"
"…"
Shao Yunduan found himself torn between amusement and concern. Though he didn't fully grasp his wife's words, her unhappiness was evident.
Drawing Qiao Xuan into his embrace, he gently patted her back. "I wouldn't even know how to mistreat my wife, let alone any relatives—no relatives, absolutely none! Please don't be upset, my dear."
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but chuckle as she lifted her head from his chest. "But she insisted she was your relative."
Shao Yunduan: "…"
"My dear…"
He felt even more bewildered.
Qiao Xuan ceased her teasing and recounted the day's events, her anger and distress evident in her voice.
Shao Yunduan shared her shock and heartache, feeling increasingly perplexed.
"…Who on earth would fabricate such a colossal lie? My wife shouldn't have let them leave. We should have Ah-Ye and the others apprehend and interrogate them."
