Somewhere hidden, a person watched all of this quietly with a cocky and cold gaze. There was a hint of anger in those eyes that had never shown any other emotions, but he didn’t know if it was the happiness in her eyes that made him angry or if it was his own emotions.
“Master.” A cold but respectful male voice sounded behind him.
“Speak!” Zhuo Wuyou looked away discreetly and said coldly.
“Master, that woman’s name is Xu Qing. A year ago, she was chased out of the house because she got pregnant out of wedlock. She gave birth to three children alone. Later, she saved an injured man. When that man woke up, he became a fool. Xu Qing is going to marry him. In addition, she also has ties with Mr. Bei Shu,” Huang Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly replied. Although he didn’t know why his master was investigating a village girl, he didn’t dare to voice any doubts.
Zhuo Wuyou’s slender fingers pressed on the edge of the window on the second floor. He looked at Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui, who had already entered the shop, and his gaze shifted.
She was willing to marry a fool for the sake of her reputation? But why was she smiling happily? How could a fool give her happiness?
“How are things over there?” Zhuo Wuyou stopped talking about Xu Qing and went straight to business. His masked face looked cold and terrifying!
“She’s still sending assassins,” Huang Zhi hurriedly replied, but his heart ached for his master.
“Heh!” Zhuo Wuyou sneered. How heartless! Were all women as heartless as her? Zhuo Wuyou subconsciously looked out the window again…
Xu Qing held Qiao Yanhui’s hand and walked out of the jewelry shop while chatting and laughing. However, Qiao Yanhui caught sight of something and his eyes flickered! They were being watched!
However, after the two of them returned home, the person who followed them didn’t appear anymore.
When Qu Feng saw that Xu Qing bought another pile of things, she nagged her again.
Xu Qing immediately prepared to flee, but Qu Feng had finally caught Xu Qing, so how could she let her off? “Little Qing, you’re going to get married soon, but you still run out every day. That’s fine, but you’re a mother of three. You always leave them all to me to take care of. You have to be closer to the children. Or else as time passes, they won’t be close to you. Also, Little Hui, you can’t spoil her forever. You guys will live in the village in the future, so you have to mind your reputation. Otherwise, Little Qing will suffer in the future.”
Because Qiao Yanhui rarely appeared in front of the villagers, the villagers didn’t know that Qiao Yanhui was no longer a fool. Behind Xu Qing’s back, the villagers even gossiped that because she was married to a fool, she was able to go to town every day and neglect the children. They said that she must be having an affair with Mr. Bei Shu…
Qiao Yanhui didn’t mind Xu Qing doing what she liked to do, but he couldn’t tolerate the rumors in the village. At this moment, he couldn’t help but emit a murderous aura, scaring Qu Feng so much that she didn’t say anything anymore.
“Mother, I’ll handle this matter. We’ll go back to our room and take care of the children now.” Xu Qing smiled dryly and pulled Qiao Yanhui towards the room.
Qu Feng stood rooted to the ground in a daze. She only came back to her senses after Xu Jiangxi called her a few times, but her hands and feet were cold. Qu Feng looked at Xu Jiangxi with a pale face and said with a trembling voice, “Something’s wrong… Who do you think the husband Little Qing found is? Why… is he so terrifying?”
Xu Jiangxi’s heart ached for his frightened wife. He comforted her. “Don’t worry too much. No matter what Little Hui’s identity is, it’s fine as long as he doesn’t hurt us. Moreover, didn’t he say that he will dote on Little Qing and the children?”
Qu Feng suppressed the fear in her heart, but still felt terrible. “You’re a man. There are some things that women can’t explain to you guys. I don’t want my daughter to suffer… I remember the prophecy we heard last time. The monk said that their future won’t be smooth.”
Xu Qing had suffered enough in her life. She really didn’t want her to suffer anymore.
“The children have grown up. We can’t interfere so much.” Xu Jiangxi lamented.
Qu Feng didn’t say anything else, but her eyes were filled with worry.
After Xu Qing pulled Qiao Yanhui back to his room, Qiao Yanhui was still filled with killing intent. He had spent his entire life on the battlefield. Qu Feng, who had planted fields her entire life, had never seen such a look before. Of course she would feel afraid.
“Little Hui, I’m fine. We just need to focus on living our lives well.” Xu Qing’s voice was gentle, calming Qiao Yanhui down.
Qiao Yanhui hugged her and said gloomily, “I really don’t want you to suffer.” Although he knew that there might be more grievances in the future, he still wanted to resolve those troubles for Xu Qing! Their identities were too different, so there would definitely be many rumors.
“If you mind, I’ll make them pay.” Xu Qing saw Qiao Yanhui’s worried look and said with a sly gaze.
Qiao Yanhui felt his heart flutter and immediately kissed her passionately…
