Chapter 345 - 345 I Pampered Her
345 I Pampered Her
Ao Heng looked at Ao Li’er coldly. “Sister, you don’t have to speak up for Xu Qing. She bullied the crown consort without regard for seniority. This is a crime. Her son bullied others because she didn’t raise him properly. She’s not worthy of being a daughter-in-law of the royal family!”
Qiao Yanhui looked at Ao Heng coldly. How dare such a despicable person slander his wife?
Before Xu Qing could even say anything, she heard Qiao Yanhui defend her domineeringly, shocking all the men and making all the women jealous! “My woman can do anything she wants with me backing her! Since she didn’t kill you guys, it means that I didn’t give her enough confidence!”
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
“Lin Xia, I’ve been tolerating you all this time. Today, in front of my father, I’m going to remove you, a heartless and vicious woman, from the royal family. I don’t have a wife like you, nor are you worthy of being the future queen consort of the country,” Ao Jie said with a cold expression.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xia panicked and couldn’t care less about Xu Qing anymore, because she herself was screwed. However, she couldn’t lose this position. Otherwise, her family would treat her as a piece of trash, and she would no longer be of value to them. “Your Highness, I was wrong. Please forgive me!” Lin Xia knelt in front of Ao Jie and begged.
Ao Jie had no pity for her. This woman had betrayed him long ago and had sex with another man. That was why he had never put on an act with her.
Seeing that Ao Jie had already expressed his stance, the Fourth Prince hurriedly expressed his stance by slapping his wife. “Get a good look at the son you raised. How embarrassing! How dare you have the nerve to act like an elder?”
As Ao Heng looked at these people, who didn’t take him seriously at all but were so easily frightened by Qiao Yanhui’s words, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood and faint.
Xu Qing sneered. With all the trouble Ao Heng caused today, this outcome would have happened sooner or later. However, she didn’t expect Ao Heng to be able to endure it for so long.
After Ao Heng suddenly vomited blood and fainted, everyone panicked, especially those who had helped Ao Heng cause trouble in the past few days. They were frightened out of their wits. They had staked everything on Ao Heng. If Ao Heng died, what would happen to them? On the other hand, Qiao Yanhui and the others built a bonfire with peace of mind and prepared for tonight’s bonfire party.
As Xu Qing and the others enjoyed themselves, Ao Heng finally woke up, but when he found out about Qiao Yanhui’s actions, he couldn’t help but faint again.
This time, everyone thought that Ao Heng definitely wouldn’t make it, so they cried their hearts out. Those who didn’t know better would think that today was some sort of funeral. This made the groggy Ao Heng even angrier. The next day, Ao Heng finally woke up and took three pills in one go. Only then did he feel better.
However, as he looked at the pill in his hand, Ao Heng’s expression darkened. The more he ate this pill, the worse his health became. He was so angry that he wanted to throw these away, but he couldn’t bear to. This was because Lin Shu had said that the refining process of this pill was very difficult. If he stopped taking it, not only would he be unable to live forever, but it would also accelerate his aging. Ao Heng stared into the distance gloomily. When he returned, he had to force Lin Shu to explain what it was.
When Ao Heng finally came out in public again in high spirits, he was so enraged by what he saw that he almost fainted again.
Because there were many people surrounding his tent. They were crying, like they were mourning him.
“Get lost!” Ao Heng roared angrily, scaring everyone so much that they scrambled away. After he composed himself, he walked towards the venue. He would prove with his strength that he could still remain on the throne for a long time.
Today’s weather was very good, so it was very suitable for outdoor activities.
Therefore, the competition for today was archery. Everyone had three chances within the specified time. The person with the most arrows that hit the bullseye and stayed on the target would be the winner of the day.
Although this competition seemed simple, it actually wasn’t simple. This was because everyone would share the same target and fire multiple arrows at the same time. Therefore, it wouldn’t be easy for the arrow to stay on the target in this situation.
Qiao Yanhui looked at Yuan’er, who was beside him. “Are you confident in winning today?”
Yuan’er snorted. “Of course!” However, when he looked at his bow and arrow, which were smaller than those of the others, he could only hope to win by surprise.
When Xu Qing thought about how she could watch her husband and son showing off in a while, she had a smile on her face. However, the ladies around Xu Qing were trembling, for fear that they would accidentally provoke her.
