Chapter 167: Uninvited Guest
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone was curious about who that man was. The Mu family definitely knew, but there was no news of him, so the news had probably been suppressed by the Mu family.
Because of this matter, Xu Qing temporarily let Mu Weiqing off the hook, but it didn’t mean that Qiao Yanhui would let the Mu family off the hook. Qiao Yanhui turned the small fire in a room into a huge fire. The entire Mu family became a sea of fire, and in the end, it burned into ruins…
However, this wasn’t the end. Qiao Yanhui also released another piece of news that everyone was very concerned about. The man who escaped from Mu Weiqing’s room was actually her biological brother, Mu Zhuoxian, the eldest young master of the Mu family!
The entire capital was in an uproar again. This was a huge scandal…
This was a devastating blow to the Mu family, but Mu Shan only had one son. How could he let his son’s future get ruined? He could only abandon Mu Weiqing. However, he still felt rueful. He had wasted time and energy on his daughter for nothing. After nurturing her for so long, she hadn’t given him any benefits. What a piece of trash!
After Xu Qing found out what Qiao Yanhui had done, she only smiled!
Then, the comments about Xu Qing completely disappeared. This was because those who still dared to slander Xu Qing would at least be beaten up until they were paralyzed. At worst, they would have their tongues pulled out before being beaten up again!
Immediately, the people in the capital understood that the General’s wife was taboo!
Instantly, many of the matriarchs of the nobles began to send out official invitations to invite Xu Qing to be their guest. They wanted to befriend this woman who could destabilize the capital’s power dynamic.
When Qiao Yanhui entered, he saw Xu Qing fiddling with the banquet invitations on the table with a troubled expression.
Qiao Yanhui said to Xun Fen and the others, “You don’t have to accept such invitations in the future.”
“Yes.” Xun Fen and Teng Nian tactfully left the room. They didn’t dare to disturb the couple.
“Little Hui.” Xu Qing sighed softly. She really didn’t like to deal with such things.
“If you don’t like it, you don’t have to force yourself.” Qiao Yanhui patted Xu Qing’s head, just like how he patted Xu Hanxue’s. Fortunately, Xu Hanxue and the others were not around, or else they would definitely be laughed at by the children.
Xu Qing curled her lips. “It’s easy for you to say, but there’s an invitation personally sent by the empress and the princess. How can I reject them?! We still have to show the royal family respect, right? We can’t make things too awkward.”
“It’s okay.” Qiao Yanhui’s gaze was gentle. His woman didn’t need to worry about this! These days, he could always vaguely remember some things from the past. Although his silly appearance was a little unbearable to recall, he liked Xu Qing’s gentleness towards him very much.
“Alright, then be my shield.” Xu Qing sensed Qiao Yanhui’s change and was glad that her treatment was effective.
“By the way, this is for you.” Qiao Yanhui took out a title deed.
Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui in confusion.
“Didn’t you want to open a candy house and beauty salon? There’s a title deed for a street inside. It’s all under your name now. You can do whatever you want.” Qiao Yanhui stared at Xu Qing with a passionate gaze. He didn’t expect his wife to be so impressive. She was actually that famous Mr. Bei Shu. She had only used two years to obtain such shocking achievements! However, his heart ached even more for Xu Qing, who had sacrificed too much to catch up to him!
It wasn’t easy to establish such a huge faction. Qiao Yanhui knew that Xu Qing had suffered a lot!
Xu Qing couldn’t help but look at Qiao Yanhui. From the looks of it, Qiao Yanhui knew her identity. However, Qiao Yanhui had yet to completely recover his memories! It was obvious that Qiao Yanhui had his own intelligence network and that it was very powerful!
With the title deed to a street, Xu Qing started to get busy. Of course, she was only busy when she first started planning. When the planning was almost done, she left the rest to Xu Sizhi and the others!
One day, the sun was shining brightly. Xu Qing was sunbathing in the courtyard with the three babies when an uninvited guest came to the Qiao family.
It was Ao Jie.
Ao Jie still had a gentle appearance and gave off the feeling that he was a kind person with a mild temper. Xu Qing found it really difficult to imagine how such a man could rise to power. Being the crown prince wasn’t just about the title. He had to be capable, bold, and intelligent. Otherwise, who would obey him?
“Where’s Little Hui?” Ao Jie looked around but didn’t see Qiao Yanhui.
“He said that there are some things to deal with in the army.” Xu Qing sat up straight and let the three children play by themselves.
