Chapter 168: Bipolar

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although she hadn’t been in the capital for long, Xu Qing had already found out about the complicated relationship between the royal family and Qiao Yanhui. For example, Ao Jie had a good relationship with Qiao Yanhui since he was young. When Qiao Yanhui was in danger, it was Ao Jie who helped him.
However, Ao Jie’s mother, Lin Shu, had always targeted Qiao Yanhui. Qiao Yanhui had been framed and almost assassinated by Lin Shu many times since he was young, so Qiao Yanhui’s relationship with Ao Jie was very complicated.
Qiao Yanhui was originally very close to Ao Jie, but gradually, Qiao Yanhui understood that he couldn’t be too close to Ao Jie, or else Lin Shu would be worried. Therefore, he gradually distanced himself from Ao Jie, but Ao Jie was still quite intimate with him.
Most importantly, Ao Jie was mentally unstable.
That’s right, Ao Jie had a mental problem. Sometimes, he was gentle, and sometimes, he was ferocious and terrifying. In other words, he was schizophrenic! He had a bipolar personality.
Xu Qing was a little surprised. If news of Ao Jie’s mental problem spread, his position as the crown prince would definitely be threatened. No one would let a “lunatic” become the emperor of a country.
However, this matter was also completely suppressed by Qiao Yanhui. Only Qiao Yanhui and Lin Shu knew about it. Lin Shu was also worried that Qiao Yanhui would tell others, so she targeted Qiao Yanhui even more. Lin Shu couldn’t trust anyone.
Ao Jie found a chair and sat down. He looked at the three children, who were playing happily, and his eyes were filled with relief. Little Hui finally had someone to accompany him and didn’t have to be so lonely anymore. But what about him? He would never be able to find that person again.
“This is the first time Little Hui has cared so much about someone.” When Ao Jie said this, he was looking at the three children. They really looked like Little Hui when he was young. At that time, he always looked up at Little Hui, who was sitting on a tree with a lonely expression. The memories of the past were something he couldn’t forget.
Xu Qing looked at Ao Jie. He looked a little like Qiao Yanhui. After all, they had the same father.
“He cares about you too.” Xu Qing poured a cup of tea for Ao Jie.
Ao Jie suddenly smiled bitterly. Even if Qiao Yanhui cared about him, he had a mother who wanted Qiao Yanhui dead! Moreover, even his father didn’t like Qiao Yanhui! One was his half-brother, and the other was his biological mother. How could he choose?
Xu Qingwei didn’t say anything to comfort him. After all, with their relationship, she couldn’t say anything.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Xu Qing was at a loss. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t know how to address him.
Ao Jie sensed her concerns and said directly, “Call me by my name, Ao Jie.”
Xu Qing choked, but when she saw Ao Jie’s melancholic gaze, she still called out, “… Ao Jie.” Then, Xu Qing forgot what she wanted to say and felt even more awkward.
Ao Jie said gently, “What are the children’s names?”
The three children ran over and stood in front of Xu Qing. Then, they shouted one after another, “Mother.”
Xu Qing touched their heads gently and introduced them one by one.
Ao Jie didn’t say anything, but thought about it to himself. The children’s surname was Xu… Actually, even if their surname wasn’t Xu, their surname would be Qiao, but their surname should be Ao. However, it would probably be very difficult for that to happen. After all, it wasn’t that simple to enter the royal family’s genealogy. Besides, how could his father allow Qiao Yanhui to have such a smart wife? He wished for Qiao Yanhui to die as quickly as possible!
In order to maintain power, Ao Heng was ruthless. Not only was Ao Heng afraid of Qiao Yanhui, but he was also afraid of all his sons, so he allowed them to kill each other! His beloved father only loved himself!
When Xu Qing saw that Ao Jie’s gaze suddenly became gloomy, she was startled. Why did his mood suddenly change?
“Hanxue, call him Uncle.” Xu Qing wanted to use Xu Hanxue’s soft voice to sober Ao Jie up.
Xu Yuanguang also watched the sudden change in Ao Jie warily, since he was afraid that he would hurt his mother and siblings.
Xu Hanxue didn’t think too much about it and shouted sweetly, “Hello, Uncle.”
Ao Jie was having an internal struggle when he was suddenly sobered by a sweet voice!
Looking at Ao Jie’s eyes, which gradually appeared clearer and more focused, Xu Qing heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had recovered. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t know what to do in this awkward situation.
Xu Qing had thought of treating Ao Jie, but she didn’t know what the trigger for Ao Jie’s mental disorder was, so she was helpless!
Ao Jie was slightly stunned when he saw Xu Qing’s worried expression. Then, he lowered his eyes and took out three jade pendants from his chest pocket before handing them to the three children. “These are my greeting gifts for you all.”
The three children looked at Xu Qing. Seeing Xu Qing nod, they accepted the gifts happily.
