If it really resulted in a death, not only would they become the laughingstock of the entire town, but their family’s backbone would also be broken.

Any normal person would be trembling with anger…

But… what does this have to do with her?!

Qiao Xuan lamented in her heart, what kind of mess had she gotten herself into!!

Shao Yunduan, with a cold face, said, “Since you are so unwilling to marry, I will send you back tomorrow morning. Don’t worry, I will explain to the county magistrate that it is my Shao family that is not worthy of you, and the divorce letter will clearly state this, so you won’t bear any blame.”

The two of them had gone through the formalities of marriage, which in modern terms, would be equivalent to having registered for marriage and received their marriage certificate.

Even if only one night had passed, even if nothing had happened, if Qiao Xuan wanted to leave tomorrow, she could only choose between divorce or being sent away.

Qiao Xuan was startled and quickly shook her head, “No, no! I… I won’t leave!”

She couldn’t leave! Being divorced by her husband’s family the day after the wedding, even if the divorce letter was written beautifully, it couldn’t change the fact that she was returned by her husband’s family.

Perhaps her cold-hearted, selfish father would refuse to accept the returned goods, insisting that there were no divorced women in the Qiao family, and that since she had left the family, she was now part of her husband’s family, whether alive or dead, and her natal family had no objections – her father and stepmother were very likely to do such a thing.

So, what would she become then?

Even if her worthless father and stepmother reluctantly kept her, would she have good days? Would she have a second chance at happiness?

…That’s not a question of whether she would have good days, but a question of how many days she could live.

On the contrary, staying in the Shao family would be much better.

She had the identity of a county magistrate’s daughter. This identity was nothing in her natal family, but in her husband’s family, it would inevitably become her protective umbrella. As long as she used it properly, her life wouldn’t be bad.

Moreover, her husband… had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, excellent temperament, a high nose, and a handsome face with clear features. His eyes were as bright as stars, and he was very pleasing to the eye. She… she wasn’t at a loss…

Her husband was a student at the Minghua Academy in the county, and he had already passed the examination for a scholar at a young age. Maybe in the future, he could even become a juren or a jinshi, she really wasn’t at a loss…

Besides, as for the future, let’s talk about it in the future. It’s clear that staying in her husband’s family is more beneficial now, so of course she can’t leave!

Qiao Xuan quickly made a decision, pinched her thigh hard, thinking about how miserable her transmigration was, her nose soured, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She looked at Shao Yunduan with teary eyes and choked with sobs, “I was confused just now, and did something stupid, but now I’ve come to my senses! Don’t worry, I will never do such a thing again!”

“Hmph!” Shao Yunduan sneered, his eyes as cold as ice, “Miss Qiao is a precious daughter, and our Shao family is just a poor rural family, naturally not worthy of Miss Qiao. It’s no wonder Miss Qiao would ‘be confused’ and want to end her life! Miss Qiao really doesn’t need to wrong herself. I will take all the blame in front of Mr. Qiao. In two or three years, when Mr. Qiao is transferred and leaves this place, no one will know about this. By then, Miss Qiao can naturally find a suitable husband again, isn’t that the best of both worlds?”

Shao Yunduan was not very willing to this marriage in the first place, but what could he do?

Who made him jump into the water to save someone without thinking? Who knew it would…

He originally thought that even if Miss Qiao was a bit spoiled, he would accept it. He would treat her well.

But who would have thought that on such a day as their wedding, she would rather die than be disgusted with his family.

How could Shao Yunduan easily let go of his anger?

Qiao Xuan secretly complained in her heart, the original owner really screwed her over!

However, divorce is impossible, absolutely impossible!
