Chapter 1184: Guilt

Editor: Henyee Translations

Sure enough, when Qiao Xuan mentioned this, Shao Yunduan said, “Don’t worry, I care about this more than you do. I will not let anyone take advantage of this.”

Qiao Xuan felt her heart warmed. She leaned forward and kissed him, smiling. “Okay, I trust you…”

Shao Yunduan narrowed his eyes and kissed her deeply.

By the time they got up, one hour had passed.

They really couldn’t sleep any more. They were so hungry and tired.

Lixia and Liqiu had already prepared dinner, and they went up to serve their madame and master.

The two of them acted as if nothing had happened, as if everything was normal. Qiao Xuan’s embarrassment gradually disappeared.

She was even more calm!

After taking a bath and having dinner, Qiao Xuan had nothing else to do, so she ate and returned to their room.

The room was very warm.

They put on their slippers and leaned against the head of the bed. The dim yellow light made the room cozy, making people feel lazy.

It was the most suitable situation for them to have a chat.

Qiao Xuan knew that Shao Yunduan must be concerned about the family as well, so she told him what had happened.

Everything was going well at home.

He was an officer outside the village, and his mother was not a person who could be easily bullied. Besides, he had the support of the whole village and the Yuezheng Family in the province, so the local businessmen and big families would not dare to have any ideas about him.

Shao Yunduan understood that.

But when Shao Yunduan heard what Qiao Xuan said and learned about the daily life back home, he still felt very happy.

“It sounds like such a lively life,” he remarked.

Qiao Xuan went on to tell him about how Widow Sun and her daughter almost set up Shao Dalang.

Shao Yunduan’s brow furrowed in irritation as he coldly said, “They really had no idea what they were doing!”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “That makes sense. Elder Brother, you are such an honest man, and you must have endured a lot at the Ding Family. You have to take responsibility if something happens.”

Shao Yunduan snorted. “Even if something really happens, we can deal with her when she marries into our family. Luckily…”

He turned to Qiao Xuan, smiling as he took hold of her hands. He swore again. “Don’t worry, darling, I will never allow this to happen to me!”

Seeing that he was about to confess something, Qiao Xuan felt a bit guilty and concerned. She said with a smile, “Okay, okay, I believe you! Everything is going well at home, and Songshi told me about what happened in the capital. What a surprise!”

Shao Yunduan smiled and sighed. “True!”

Unexpectedly, Master Yun turned out to be Minister Old Yun!

What he said was different from what Songshi had mentioned. It was more detailed.

Shao Yunduan felt a bit guilty – he was part of the crown prince’s circle, and so was his wife, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

There was no need to even think about leaving the capital for a position!

Although the Crown Prince was able to protect them, and he was in good standing with the Crown Prince, who was very willing to defend him.

But the risk of sharing honor and loss was still present.

Before the Crown Prince took the throne, there would be a lot of changes.
