Picked Up A Husband For Farming

Chapter 255: The Eldest Princess’s Visit

Xu Qing wanted to explain, but Yi Chulin didn’t give her a chance to speak!

Regarding Xu Qing’s encounter, Lei Wangshu was puzzled and helpless.

“By the way, I heard that you’ve been taking care of Xie Pengyang recently. How is he now?” Xu Qing asked.

When Lei Wangshu remembered that Xie Pengyang had taken the opportunity to kiss her on the cheek yesterday, she felt both happy and angry. “He has thick skin, so he’s fine now!” Lei Wangshu gritted her teeth as she spoke. He was definitely fine. Otherwise, how could he ambush her?!

“I think you can really give it a try with him. The children are still young. Don’t miss the opportunity,” Xu Qing said meaningfully.

Lei Wangshu hummed softly, but she didn’t say anything else this time.

At this moment, Xun Fen walked in and said, “Miss, the Eldest Princess is here.”

Xu Qing raised her eyebrows. “Please invite her in.”

Lei Wang said, “Then I’ll go back now.”

Xu Qing nodded. “Yes.”

The Eldest Princess was wearing casual attire, so she looked more amiable than usual.

“Aunt, my foot is injured, so I can’t get up and bow to you.” Xu Qing knew that Ao Li’er valued royal etiquette. Although she disliked these things, she was willing to show this elder respect.

“You’re already injured, so don’t talk about this anymore,” Ariel said amiably. Although she was compassionate, even Qiao Yanqi had to follow the rules. She wasn’t unreasonable.

“Aunt, please sit.” Xu Qing smiled and said.

Ao Li’er saw that even though Xu Qing was injured and her face was a little pale, she still had an outstanding temperament. This made her marvel. Xu Qing’s bearing and temperament were excellent. Qiao Yanhui was really lucky to have such an intelligent wife supporting him.

“Seriously, why were you so careless? You’re like a child,” Ariel reprimanded with distress.

“I’m sorry that I’ve made you worry.” Xu Qing’s heart warmed. In order not to let outsiders suspicious, Qiao Yanhui released the news that she had accidentally fallen.

As Ao Li’er sat on the chair by the bed, she looked around and asked curiously, “You’re injured. Why isn’t Little Qi here? She’s getting more and more willful.”

Xu Qing hurriedly said, “Aunt, she’s not at home. During the children’s birthday, she went to the villa. I thought about how it was about time for her to get married and change her bad habits, so I agreed.”

Qiao Yanqi was now under Qiao Yanhui’s supervision. One torture session a day was quite a harsh method to force her to “change”. Of course, Qiao Yanhui didn’t beat Qiao Yanqi to death, so that Qiao Yanqi wouldn’t suspect that they already knew her identity. After all, Qiao Yanqi was still useful!

When they found out that Qiao Yanqi had been poisoned with a Gu poison that could kill her in an instant, they felt even more suspicious and wary of the mastermind.

Ao Li’er sighed and said, “She has been spoiled by us since she was young. Don’t hold it against her.”

Xu Qing chuckled. “Aunt, don’t worry. I won’t mind. When she gets married, it’ll definitely be very grand.” Of course, this was a promise to Qiao Yanhui’s biological sister, not an imposter.

Ao Li’er was relieved!

At this moment, footsteps approached from afar. Qiao Yanhui looked at Ao Li’er, who was sitting at the head of Xu Qing’s bed, and said calmly, “Aunt, why are you here?” Qiao Yanhui’s tone wasn’t as cold as usual. This was already considered special treatment.

Ao Li’er snorted. “I can’t come to see you guys? Don’t tell me you’ll come to see me. If I waited for you, I wouldn’t know when I would be able to see you guys.”

As Xu Qing looked at the sulky Ao Li’er, she smiled and said, “Aunt, don’t worry. We’ll bring the children to visit you often.”

Ao Li’er smiled in relief. Perhaps it was because she was getting old, but she felt more and more lonely with every passing year.

As Xu Qing looked at Ao Li’er, she felt a little emotional. Actually, Ao Li’er had lived a tough life. She had someone she liked, but she couldn’t spend the rest of her life with him. The sense of regret was probably quite torturous.

She heard that the person in Nine Lakes Town didn’t get married either. He probably couldn’t let go.

“Where are the children?” Ao Li’er looked at Qiao Yanhui and asked.

Qiao Yanhui said indifferently, “Practicing calligraphy.”

Ao Li’er nodded and said, “The children are like you. They’ve been working hard since they were young.”

Ao Li’er chatted for a while more before leaving. It was mainly because Qiao Yanhui had been staring at her coldly, so she really couldn’t sit still. However, Ao Li’er wasn’t unhappy. She was just relieved that Qiao Yanhui knew how to love someone, so he would cherish his life now. In the past, Qiao Yanhui had never cared about anything. Ao Li’er was already prepared to watch him die.
