Picked Up A Husband For Farming

250  Marrying the General's Wife

Deng Chengxi couldn't understand. Since Yi Chulin treated Xu Qing as Ying Zhiyao, why did he injure Xu Qing so mercilessly? Wasn't the purpose of all these years of searching just to see her again? Why was he so ruthless?

Deng Chengxi couldn't guess what Yi Chulin was thinking. She had never understood Yi Chulin! She couldn't understand, so she asked Xu Qing.

"Maybe he's crazy!" This was Xu Qing's most pertinent evaluation of Yi Chulin.

Deng Chengxi was stunned. Then, she thought of something and smiled bitterly. That's right, he was crazy! He had regained hope time and time again and watched it shatter again and again. Anyone would lose his sanity. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes in anguish.

Xun Fen and Teng Nian, who were watching from the side, felt upset. Was love that terrifying? Then it was better not to fall in love in the future. If there was no man in their hearts, it would be easier for them to draw their swords.

One could imagine how difficult it would be for Qiao Yi and Qiao Er to pursue their future wives.

Deng Chengxi didn't know how long she sat there. It was only when Xu Qing fell asleep that she left in a daze.

Xu Qing was already sleepy in the first place. When she woke up again, Qiao Yanhui was lying beside her.

Qiao Yanhui was looking at her affectionately.

"You're back." Xu Qing rubbed her eyes sleepily. She had slept for the entire day again. She suddenly thought of something. In the short few months she had been in the capital, she had basically spent most of her time in bed!

Qiao Yanhui's gaze became even more affectionate and he kissed Xu Qing's forehead gently.

As Xu Qing leaned into Qiao Yanhui's arms, she completely woke up. As she sniffed his unique masculine scent, she had a blissful expression. "Little Hui, how has the situation in the capital been recently?"

Actually, Xu Qing wanted to ask how Yi Chulin was and if he continued to disturb them like a lunatic. However, Xu Qing was afraid that Qiao Yanhui would be anxious.

Of course, Xu Qing hated Yi Chulin. She was angry that Yi Chulin had indiscriminately injured and killed people. The employees in the Golden Jade Hall were all kind people. As for the injured ones, when she thought about how her daughter was so frightened that she fell sick again, she was enraged.

However, she was able to talk about Yi Chulin calmly now because of her past relationship with Ying Zhiyao.

Qiao Yanhui stroked Xu Qing's beautiful hair silently. He had suppressed the news that Xu Qing was Mr. Bei Shu. Other than Deng Jiangming, Deng Chengxi, and Hua Yuncheng, no one else knew. However, the fact that he had saved Bei Shu that day could no longer be hidden. Everyone believed that he had some sort of relationship with Bei Shu.

As a result, Ao Heng became afraid of him and sent even more assassins. Did Ao Heng expect to kill him just like that? Was he delusional?

Qiao Yanhui didn't kill Ao Heng because there were still many things he hadn't investigated clearly. For example, the truth of his mother's death back then, Ao Jie's bipolar personality, and the truth of what happened to his sibling back then…

"The envoys of the various countries have already moved into the palace. As for Yi Chulin… I don't know where he went." Qiao Yanhui briefly explained.

Xu Qing was puzzled. "Since the envoys from the various countries are here, someone will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble. Why aren't you keeping an eye on them?"

Qiao Yanhui smiled. "Everything is under control!"

This short sentence was enough to show Qiao Yanhui's ability. Few people could compare to him!

"Recuperate well. I'll take care of the matters outside." Qiao Yanhui knew that Xu Qing was smart, but he couldn't bear to let her worry.

Xu Qing nodded. He thought of how Ao Heng's birthday was tomorrow and asked, "Then what should we do tomorrow?"

Ao Heng didn't know that Xu Qing was Bei Shu. If Xu Qing didn't attend, it would definitely make Ao Heng suspicious! After all, Ao Heng was too paranoid!

"No." Qiao Yanhui replied without hesitation.

Xu Qing was stunned. "You're not going either?"

"Yes." Qiao Yanhui's eyes were filled with arrogance. He wanted to see what else Ao Heng could do about it.

"But there are so many people tomorrow…" Xu Qing was still a little worried.

"Rest in peace and don't worry about this." Qiao Yanhui looked at her dotingly.

Xu Qing didn't ask further. She trusted that Qiao Yanhui would take care of these things, so she ate the food Qiao Yanhui fed her in peace.

The next day, while Ao Heng's birthday banquet was going on, Qiao Yanhui accompanied Xu Qing. However, later on, Qiao Yanhui's subordinate came and reported something to Qiao Yanhui in a low voice.

"Little Qing, I'm going out for a while." Qiao Yanhui kissed Xu Qing's forehead.

"Alright." Xu Qing smiled.

However, after Qiao Yanhui went out, his smile turned cold. Yi Chulin was quite bold. He actually dared to ask Ao Heng for his wife! Did Yi Chulin think he was a pushover?

"What did Ao Heng say?" Qiao Yanhui's voice was menacing, like that of a demon from hell.
