“I apologize.”

Butler Tian appeared to have trouble comprehending the words, as he failed to react promptly. “What did you say? Say it again!”

Shao Yunduan remained silent, gazing calmly at Butler Tian while tightly holding Qiao Xuan’s hands.

Butler Tian’s eyes fixated on their intertwined hands, his sneer growing fiercer as his anger intensified.

He felt that the Tian Family had been humiliated.

“So, that’s your decision? Mr. Primus, have you truly considered it thoroughly?”

“I am unworthy.”

“Heh…”

Butler Tian found the situation to be utterly laughable. Yes, he had never believed Shao Yunduan was suitable, but it was not his place to make such a decision.

“Mr. Primus, you may not be foolish, but you have acted foolishly. Unfortunate couples often have regrets. Mr. Primus, do you not think that if you face a miserable life in the future, you will regret your choice today?”

“By then, it will be too late for you to repent!”

Shao Yunduan’s expression remained unchanged. He smiled faintly. “Thank you for the reminder, Butler Tian, but I am not fortunate enough to lead a life like that.”

He was unaware of what he had traded in for his conscience and social status. At the very least, he couldn’t find solace in it. Moreover, he had no intention of abandoning his wife.

“Good, very good! In that case, Mr. Primus, just wait and see. I hope you can sleep well tonight!”

Butler Tian sneered and departed without looking back.

Shao Yunduan narrowed his eyes and firmly held Qiao Xuan’s hands. “Don’t worry, after tomorrow, we will lay everything bare and depart from the capital.”

Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

When Butler Tian returned to the mansion, Tian Shanshan was present at her parents’ residence, adamantly refusing to leave.

“Dad, Mom, this is my marriage. I want to be part of the discussion too,” she insisted.

Officer Tian and Madame Tian acknowledged her intelligence and independent thinking, so they relented and included her in the conversation.

Madame Tian’s mood was jubilant as she asked, “So, did Shao Yunduan agree?”

Tian Shanshan’s heart skipped a beat. She lacked the same confidence as her mother.

If Shao Yunduan had agreed, he wouldn’t have gone out earlier in the day. She doubted the outcome would be favorable.

Her suspicions were soon confirmed.

Upon hearing Butler Tian’s account, Officer Tian and his wife turned pale.

“How dare he humiliate the Tian Family like this? Unworthy? He knows he is unworthy! What are we waiting for?” Officer Tian fumed.

“He has brought shame upon the Tian Family. Old Master, do not allow him to remain in the capital. Send him to the most remote and destitute county infested with bandits. Let him serve as a poverty-stricken County Magistrate for the remainder of his life. Only then will he comprehend that the Tian Family is not to be trifled with,” Madame Tian suggested vehemently.

Officer Tian remained silent, a glint of murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

But now was not the opportune moment.

Aware of the consequences, Shao Yunduan knew that as the Primus, if anything were to happen to him on the first day of the banquet, it would infuriate the Emperor. However, he also realized that he would become a laughingstock at the upcoming event.

Tian Shanshan, consumed by a profound sense of humiliation, rose from her seat and bowed to her parents. Then, without a word, she turned and left.

She clenched her fists, her sharp nails digging into her palms. The pain, however, failed to distract her from her seething anger.

She had lost.

As the direct descendant of the Tian Family, the niece of Concubine Mei, and the most esteemed lineal daughter in the capital, she had been defeated by a lowly concubine’s daughter.
