"But my husband was once falsely accused."
"The imperial court doesn't take matters lightly. The Sun family isn't so reckless. Madam Shao, your lack of understanding is evident. Please, arrange for our escort to Lord Shao's location. Once you witness the truth firsthand, you'll understand."
"No!" Qiao Xuan's displeasure was evident. "My husband requires rest, and I won't allow anyone to disturb him. He's already unwell, and your insistence only raises suspicions about your motives!"
"Are you intentionally disrupting his recovery?"
Lord Yang and Prefect Liu seethed with frustration.
"Where did you get that idea?"
"Indeed, Madam Shao, that's uncalled for."
"Excellent!" Qiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Regardless, I won't permit any disruptions to my husband's recuperation. He's briefed me on everything; just convey your message."
Lord Yang and Prefect Liu exchanged baffled glances.
