Chapter 159: Father That Can’t Be Mentioned
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Qiao Yanqi threatened him, she looked at Xu Qing provocatively. She seemed confident that her brother wouldn’t choose Xu Qing over her, and that Xu Qing shouldn’t be such a sore loser! The Qiao family wasn’t a family that just anyone could join.
Xu Qing was baffled by Qiao Yanqi’s anger. Even if Qiao Yanqi was hostile towards her because she had stolen Qiao Yanhui’s attention, she should not be this angry. After all, Qiao Yanhui was her biological brother. How could he really ignore her?
Therefore, there was no need for Qiao Yanqi to cause such a scene unless…
Xu Qing’s gaze darkened. Qiao Yanqi clearly liked Qiao Yanhui, not the kind between siblings. Qiao Yanqi viewed her as a love rival!
Thinking of this, Xu Qing was a little shocked.
Qiao Yanqi was Qiao Yanhui’s biological sister. How could Qiao Yanqi have such perverted feelings for her brother?! Perhaps she was mistaken.
If this was true, it would be a scandal. Moreover, from the looks of it, the others didn’t seem to know about this. Xu Qing couldn’t mention it out loud, but a seed of suspicion was planted in her heart.
Qiao Yanqi was smug, as if she was certain that she would win. But soon, her face turned pale.
“Uncle Yu, arrange for someone to send her to the Lingqu Villa!” Qiao Yanhui’s tone of voice and gaze were extremely cold and distant, as if he was looking at a stranger.
Uncle Yu sighed as he waved his hand to call two people over.
Qiao Yanqi’s eyes widened and her expression became ferocious. In the next second, she cried, “You actually chose this woman over me? You’re letting down me, our mother, and our brother? Are you crazy? I’m your only sister! You only have me as your biological relative in this world. You actually want to chase me away for a slut from the countryside?”
Uncle Yu also wanted to say something, but hesitated. If he said anything at this time, it might cause the situation to escalate! He didn’t understand what was wrong with Qiao Yanqi. She knew that the general hated being threatened the most, but as his sister, she had crossed the general time and time again. The general would definitely be furious!
“Uncle Yu, spread the news that the eldest daughter of the Qiao family is going to get married. All the youths of the right age in the city can become candidates. The most suitable person will become the son-in-law of the Qiao family!” Qiao Yanhui said coldly and firmly, as if no one could disobey him.
Qiao Yanqi looked at Qiao Yanhui in disbelief and said in a sharp voice, “How can you arrange a marriage for me? Only our father, the emperor, can arrange my marriage!”
Qiao Yanqi subconsciously wanted to stop Qiao Yanhui, but in her panic, she blurted out the emperor.
Uncle Yu was frightened, while the other servants wished they could pretend they hadn’t heard her…
As expected, Qiao Yanhui’s expression darkened completely. He could no longer suppress his killing intent. He sent Qiao Yanqi flying with a slap, which showed that he had used a lot of strength. Then, he said in a low voice, “I’ll say it one last time. He’s not your father!”
Qiao Yanqi fell to the ground with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. It was unknown if it was because of the shock, or because Qiao Yanhui used too much strength, but she fainted! The moment before she fainted, she was still thinking about how this was the first time Qiao Yanhui had hit her. It was all because of that bitch. She had to kill that bitch…
Uncle Yu quickly ran over to help Qiao Yanqi up. He looked at Qiao Yanhui questioningly, but Qiao Yanhui said coldly, “Send her to Lingqu Villa!”
Uncle Yu wouldn’t refute Qiao Yanhui. After all, Qiao Yanqi was the one who was in the wrong… In the end, Qiao Yanqi was carried to the Lingqu Villa…
The killing intent on Qiao Yanhui’s body had yet to dissipate. The three children subconsciously trembled in fear, but there was also a hint of admiration in their eyes. They admired their father’s might and protectiveness towards their mother!
Xu Qing saw how angry Qiao Yanhui was and quickly held his hand to comfort him.
When he sensed the soft warmth from his palm, the killing intent in Qiao Yanhui’s eyes gradually faded and his gaze softened.
Uncle Yu was even more shocked. In the past, if something like this happened, it would take a long time for Qiao Yanhui to calm down. When it was serious, he would even lose his mind. Only a bloodbath could make him return to his senses… But now, he calmed down just like that? Xu Qing was indeed Qiao Yanhui’s one and only!
However, Uncle Yu was a little worried. If the War God had such an Achilles’ heel, would he still be an invincible general?
Xu Qing knew that Qiao Yanhui still had many secrets. His father, who he had never mentioned, he must be taboo. If Qiao Yanhui didn’t tell her, she wouldn’t ask. She would just accompany Qiao Yanhui.
By the time Xu Qing moved into the Qiao family’s home, news of it had already spread in the capital!
