Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After all, Qiao Yanhui had extraordinary status. He was noble and exalted! All these years, there was no telling how many women had tried to get close to Qiao Yanhui. But none of them had succeeded! In the past, everyone could comfort themselves with the idea that they weren’t that bad, and that they simply weren’t Qiao Yanhui’s type. However, there was an exception now. Wasn’t that a slap to the face for all the daughters of the capital’s powerful families?! Xu Qing even brought three children with her. This clearly told everyone that Qiao Yanhui was a normal man who liked women and wanted children. It was just that to him, the other women weren’t attractive enough!
Therefore, Xu Qing became the target of public anger.
The legendary number one beauty in the capital, Mu Weiqing, had been holding a grudge after that day’s incident in Beautiful Closet. She wanted to make Deng Chengxi pay the price after she became Qiao Yanhui’s wife. She wanted Beautiful Closet to go bankrupt!
In the end, Mu Weiqing received news that the War God had a wife and three children. For a moment, her expression became contorted and she threw everything within her vicinity at the servants who were kneeling as they massaged her.
The young girl closest to Mu Weiqing was the first to bear the brunt. Her forehead was covered in blood, but she didn’t dare to cry out in pain or move. She could only pray that Mu Weiqing would chase them out today. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would face an even more terrifying punishment!
These servants were quite miserable. Everyone talked about how fortunate they were to work for the Mu family and be Mu Weiqing’s personal servants. They talked about how lucky they were, how high their salary was, and how good the Mu family’s reputation. However, only after they started to work for the Mu family did they know that everything was a lie. Everyone in the Mu family was double-faced. Mu Weiqing wasn’t as kind as the rumors said. She was a vicious woman!
At this moment, a young man walked in. It was Mu Weiqing’s older brother, Mu Zhuoxian. He looked prim and proper, but he had a wretched look on his face. It was obvious that he was a womanizer. “Who offended you this time?”
When Mu Weiqing saw who it was, she immediately said with a vicious expression, “Brother, you came at the right time. I want that woman who moved into the Qiao family’s home to die!”
Mu Zhuo chuckled as he walked towards Mu Weiqing. He waved his hand to dismiss the servants and took over the servants’ work. He massaged her calves as he said in a slightly cold tone, “Weiqing, don’t worry. I have your back. How can a countryside woman compete against the Mu family?”
The moment Mu Zhuo touched her, Mu Weiqing tried her best to hide her disgust. Then, she calmly retracted her leg and said coquettishly, “You really dote on me.”
“Of course. I dote on you the most,” Mu Zhuo said with a hint of lust in his eyes. He didn’t mind Mu Weiqing’s avoidance. This woman was his sister, but anyone who saw her would think that she was drop-dead gorgeous. Every time he saw her face, he couldn’t help but feel enamored!
Mu Weiqing lowered her eyes. No matter how disgusted she was, she didn’t dare to show it.
Because she was the illegitimate daughter of the Mu family, the daughter of a mistress raised in the Mu family’s backyard. Because the First Madam didn’t have a daughter by her side and because she had been good-looking since she was young, the First Madam raised her by her side, so outsiders thought that she was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Mu family. It was also because of this that the First Madam always looked down at her patronizingly, as if she was giving her alms. Mu Weiqing knew that she had to rely on the First Madam and the First Madam’s only biological son!
As long as she was still beautiful, she would be useful to the Mu family and she could plan for herself…
At this moment, how could Xu Qing not know what kind of commotion she would cause if she moved into the Qiao family’s home? However, she now had the ability to protect herself, so she made this decision. As for the three children, Xu Qing asked them to carry poison with them and had someone protecting them. Moreover, Xu Qing also believed that Qiao Yanhui would protect the children!
Xu Qing continued to administer acupuncture for Qiao Yanhui the next day. When it was time to remove the last silver needle, she was suddenly hugged by Qiao Yanhui.
Xu Qing placed her hands on Qiao Yanhui’s chest and stared at his handsome face up close. She coughed lightly as she said, “Let go of me…”
Xu Qing realized that Qiao Yanhui had become even more clingy than before, and it made her blush.
“The treatment is over, so it’s my happy time now.” Qiao Yanhui kissed Xu Qing’s lips.
How could Xu Qing resist it? She gradually became immersed in the kiss. She realized that she seemed to be getting more and more besotted with Qiao Yanhui’s kisses. Every time, he would make her swoon, and she was willing to get carried away by his kisses.
Qiao Yanhui also liked seeing Xu Qing head over heels for him, so he would kiss Xu Qing until her body went limp every time before finally letting her go.
