Chapter 254: Sisterly Relationship
Of course, Qiao Yanhui didn’t agree, so he could only think of another way.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get it.” Qiao Yanhui didn’t want to fight head-on in case Yi Chulin destroyed the medicine.
With Qiao Yanhui’s guarantee, Xu Qing was relieved because she believed in Qiao Yanhui. As for the medicine, when she recovered, she would go to the Green Mountain Nation with Qiao Yanhui. No matter what the price was, she would obtain the medicine.
In the next period of time, Xu Qing continued to recuperate while Qiao Yanhui fought Yi Chulin. Because Qiao Yanhui and Yi Chulin were fighting, Ao Heng had a chance to catch his breath and consolidate his power.
As for Ao Heng’s sons, they all started their plans.
The situation in the capital also became tense.
As Xu Qing listened to Xun Fen and Teng Nian’s report, she fell into deep thought. More than half a month had passed since Ao Heng’s birthday, but the envoys of the other countries had yet to return. It was obvious that they were planning something.
The reason the envoys of the other countries stayed behind was because of a marriage alliance to benefit the two countries. Although it was clearly an excuse, the Ancient Kingdom couldn’t expose it. After all, they wanted to be on good terms with the Ancient Kingdom. If the Ancient Kingdom was ruthless, wouldn’t it be giving away its weakness and cause a war?
Therefore, the situation in the capital was becoming more and more chaotic.
While Xu Qing was recuperating, many people came to visit her, but Deng Chengxi never came. Hua Yuncheng heard that Deng Chengxi hadn’t left her room since Ao Heng’s birthday banquet, which made Deng Jiangming so anxious that he wanted to tear down the house. Hua Yuncheng told him the reason.
When Deng Jiangming found out that Hua Yuncheng had actually kissed his sister, he wanted to beat him up.
However, Deng Jiangming stopped and looked at Hua Yuncheng thoughtfully…
Hua Yuncheng felt unnerved. He turned around and was about to run when Deng Jiangming grabbed him. Deng Jiangming said, “Hua Yuncheng, you have to be responsible for my sister!”
Deng Jiangming was Hua Yuncheng’s brother, so he naturally knew what kind of person Hua Yuncheng was. Hua Yuncheng was a playboy, but he had never actually been in love. However, his ability to coax women was unparalleled. Why hadn’t he thought of getting Hua Yuncheng to divert his sister’s attention in the past? Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, it was better to give it a try than to have no hope.
“You’re being unreasonable! How many women have I been with? According to you, if I have to take responsibility, won’t I have to take responsibility for all the women? Moreover, I was trying to save her at that time. You were preoccupied and the situation was urgent. I saved her because of you. Now… Besides, her mind is on Yi Chulin. I won’t do it!” Hua Yuncheng stomped his feet in annoyance.
Deng Jiangming threatened, “I don’t care. Now that you’ve kissed, hugged, and touched my sister, if you can’t let my sister move on from her previous relationship, I’ll hunt you down every day!”
Hua Yuncheng widened his eyes and started to cry.
Deng Jiangming snorted. “I think you’re just afraid! You’re worried that you won’t be able to deal with her and that it’ll ruin your reputation as a playboy.”
Hua Yuncheng knew that this was Deng Jiangming’s provocation, but he still straightened his neck and shouted, “Not true at all! There’s no woman in this world that I can’t handle! I’ll definitely make Deng Chengxi fall for me!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened with a creak.
Deng Chengxi walked out. She was still wearing the same clothes as she did that night. Her hair was messy, her face was haggard, and her eyes were expressionless.
Hua Yuncheng immediately looked embarrassed. However, Deng Chengxi didn’t even look at Hua Yuncheng and walked past him.
Hua Yuncheng felt a chill run down his spine. Could he really win Deng Chengxi over?
As Deng Jiangming watched Deng Chengxi leave, he wanted to say something, but hesitated. He looked at Hua Yuncheng, who looked dejected, and sighed. Forget it, it was better not to force relationships!
Deng Chengxi’s matter made Xu Qing feel rueful, but there was nothing she could do. As she looked at the confused Lei Wangshu beside her, she immediately felt a little helpless. Why were the people around her all people who had dysfunctional relationships?
After Lei Wangshu heard that something had happened in the Golden Jade Hall, she panicked. When she heard that Xie Pengyang had been injured and was currently unconscious, her face turned pale and she went to look for Xie Pengyang.
After confirming that Xie Pengyang’s life wasn’t in danger, Lei Wangshu heaved a sigh of relief. But then, she felt mixed emotions. She… was worried about Xie Pengyang? Lei Wangshu felt confused by her feelings. In the end, she choose to stay behind to take care of Xie Pengyang. Their relationship was improving.
“How do you feel now?” Lei Wangshu looked at Xu Qing worriedly.
“I don’t feel good at all.” Xu Qing looked up at the sky and sighed. Who had she provoked? She was always getting injured…
