But Qiao Xuan did not seem to need his guilt, nor did she take him seriously. He had felt somewhat dissatisfied at that time—Shao Yunduan was nothing compared to him. Ms. Qiao, having been forced to marry Shao Yunduan and missed him, should have felt some pity or disappointment, shouldn't she?
It was natural for a conceited person to think that way.
He had believed that Shao Yunduan would never be as good as him.
This belief probably helped him cope with missing out on Qiao Xuan.
Unexpectedly, Shao Yunduan caught up with him and became the Primus. He was fortunate enough to remain in the capital as an official and secure an important position with the Crown Prince. At that time, he was already feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Then Shao Yunduan was kicked out of the capital. Although he held a slightly higher rank than a County Magistrate, he was stationed in a poor, remote place.
The area was plagued by bandits. Who knew when he might meet his end there?
