319 Xu Jiangzhong’s Visit
“Little Hui, I suddenly have a suspicion about Ao Jie’s illness… Let’s investigate Empress Lin. In the past, I felt that she wouldn’t do anything to her biological son. But it turns out that she’s from a secret family, so anything is possible!” What Xu Qing didn’t say was that it was very likely that Lin Shu was also a puppet of the Lin family, and her child was a puppet of a puppet. Therefore, perhaps the Lin family did something to Ao Jie in order to gain the greatest control over the Ancient Kingdom? Of course, these were just Xu Qing’s guesses.
“I’ve already gotten someone to investigate in this regard.” Qiao Yanhui believed that as long as he focused on investigating in one direction, even if the secret family was extremely capable, they would be able to find out something.
…
Xu Qing practiced martial arts with Yuan’er and the others every day now. However, she hadn’t started practicing since she was young, so her bones hurt terribly. Practicing martial arts was too difficult.
Xu Qing looked at Qi Yi, who hadn’t moved for a long time. Ever since Qi Yi followed them to the Ancient Kingdom, he had stopped laughing. He practiced various martial techniques diligently every day and was no longer as lively as when they first met him.
Xu Qing felt that it was time to talk to Qi Yi. If this continued, Xu Qing was worried that Qi Yi would become a recluse, since he was a child who had left his hometown.
At this moment, Xun Fen came over. “Miss, Xu Jiangzhong is here.”
“I won’t see him!” Xu Qing couldn’t be bothered to see him.
“Alright!” Xu Fen was about to turn around and leave when Xu Qing spoke again. “Wait, on second thought, let’s go see him.” She wanted to see what Xu Jiangzhong would say. Of course, she didn’t mind letting Xu Jiangzhong bring some “things” back!
However, because it was the first day she practiced martial arts, Xu Qing’s legs couldn’t take it anymore and her walking posture was a little strange. When he saw this, Xu Jiangzhong’s expression changed several times. At first, it was gloomy, then smug, and in the end, it became arrogant.
Xu Qing was puzzled by Jiangzhong’s change in expression. Was this person crazy?!
Xu Jiangzhong was gloomy at first because he thought of Xu Qing’s identity as the General’s wife! This wasn’t something he could compare to. When he thought of how he wasn’t as powerful as Xu Qing, he felt suffocated! Then, he was smug because Xu Qing was only the daughter-in-law of an unloved prince who didn’t even take on the royal family’s surname, so she was destined to be discarded by the emperor. At that time, it would be time for him to take revenge. He knew that Xu Qing had gotten someone to beat him up and throw him into the wilderness, causing him to suffer so much!
As for his arrogance in the end, that was because he saw Xu Qing’s walking posture and felt that she was afraid! He felt smug when he thought of how Xu Qing was probably scared of his current identity and would definitely beg him to plead for leniency with the emperor on their behalf. With this in mind, Xu Jiangzhong gloated.
After Xu Qing sat down, she said disdainfully, “What’s the matter, Fifth Uncle?”
Xu Jiangzhong looked up at Xu Qing arrogantly while thinking that Xu Qing must be pretending to be calm. She would definitely beg him later.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t come to see my niece in a long time. I happened to pass by today, so I came in to take a look.” Xu Jiangzhong said haughtily, as if it was Xu Qing’s honor for him to come in and see her.
“Then why did I hear that you specifically asked someone to find out where the Qiao family’s courtyard is?” Xu Qing said with feigned shock.
The veins on Xu Jiangzhong’s forehead bulged as he prayed that Xu Qing would suffer retribution one day! “Niece, now that I’ve received an important position from the emperor…” Before Xu Jiangzhong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Qing.
“Why do I remember that you only work for Mr. Bao? By the way, strictly speaking, Mr. Bao doesn’t have an official position. He only teaches the princes…”
Xu Jiangzhong gritted his teeth. “Mr. Bao is talented and is highly valued by the royal family. How can ordinary officials compare to him, who he personally teaches the princes? I’m Mr. Bao’s subordinate, so I’m naturally His Majesty’s subordinate as well!”
“Oh! Then I’ll ask Mr. Bao about it tomorrow!” Xu Qing said aloofly.
Xu Jiangzhong panicked. Actually, he had also realized that Bao Hongyi was an extremely conceited person. He didn’t like others overshining him, nor did he like people who tried to ride on his coattails… He also knew that if not for the fact that he was related to Xu Qing, Bao Hongyi wouldn’t have bothered with him.
“You’re a busy person, so there’s no need to go through the trouble to ask him personally.” Xu Jiangzhong smiled awkwardly.
“It’s not troublesome. I’ll send someone to ask,” Xu Qing replied with a smile.
Xu Jiangzhong finally couldn’t take it anymore and slammed the table angrily.
The corners of Xu Qing’s mouth curled up slightly. Xu Jiangzhong couldn’t hold it in anymore?
