Chapter 176 - Moon Elder

Xu Qing thought about how the children must have been frightened these few days. Her heart ached just thinking about it. “Little Hui, I miss the children.”

“I’ll bring them in now.” Qiao Yanhui covered Xu Qing with a blanket and went out.

At this moment, the three children were guarding the door. Over the past two days, other than eating and sleeping, they had been guarding here at all times, since they were afraid that they would miss the moment Xu Qing woke up. This was because they had been truly terrified. They thought that their father and mother were going to leave them. The three children even secretly hugged each other and cried.

When Qiao Yanhui saw the children, he specifically instructed them not to cry and not to disturb their mother’s rest. The three children tried their best to hold back their tears and walked in with smiles. They told Xu Qing that they had been very obedient these two days. They had eaten and slept well!

Xu Qing looked at the three cute children with tears in her eyes. Fortunately, she was fine. Otherwise, she would really feel guilty towards the three children!

“Mother, don’t cry. Have some candy.” Xu Hanxue took out a piece of candy from her pocket. This was the candy she had secretly saved for a long time.

Xu Qing held back her tears and hugged the children one by one. She missed them too!

“Mother, you have to recover quickly. I want to sleep with you.” Xu Hanxue continued to comfort her.

“Alright!” Xu Qing smiled.

“Mother, you’re so stupid!” The silent Xu Yuanguang suddenly said with a cold expression.

“In the future, my brother, father, and I will protect you well!” Xu Tingdeng said.

Xu Qing smiled helplessly. She was actually despised by her son?

As Qiao Yanhui stood at the side, he looked at the mother and children dotingly. He would definitely protect them well!

Xu Qing lay in bed for a few more days before she finally recovered. However, Qiao Yanhui still didn’t allow Xu Qing to go out. The entire Qiao family was heavily guarded!

As for Qiao Yanhui, he had been very busy these few days.

When Ao Heng found out that Qiao Yanhui wasn’t dead, he smashed the entire study room. Then, he felt afraid. He was worried that Qiao Yanhui would do something extreme!

However, Qiao Yanhui wouldn’t do anything openly, so Ao Heng was safe for the time being. However, the forces that belonged to him were eliminated bit by bit. Ao Heng knew that this was Qiao Yanhui’s counterattack! Qiao Yanhui didn’t choose to assassinate him directly, but he was weakening his authority bit by bit, which was equivalent to weakening his vitality bit by bit. This was simply worse than death.

Qiao Yanhui was his nemesis! Ao Heng knew that he had to take measures. Otherwise, he would become the first emperor in history who would step down before he died!

Xu Qing had been staying at the Qiao family’s house for a few days and was really bored out of her mind. “Hanxue, do you want to go out and play? Tell your father. Let’s go out for a walk.” Xu Qing encouraged Xu Hanxue.

“Mother, you have to recuperate at home. Otherwise, Father will definitely punish you,” Xu Hanxue said seriously.

Xu Qing was instantly extremely embarrassed. Didn’t they just see it once? Why did they still remember it? They kept threatening her with it! It was all Qiao Yanhui’s fault! Even Xu Tingdeng and Xu Yuanguang were secretly laughing at the side, which made Xu Qing blush even more.

At this moment, Qiao Yanhui returned. Xu Hanxue hurriedly ran over and complained, “Dad, Mom wanted to go out and play just now! Mom is so disobedient. Dad, you said last time that if she’s disobedient, you’ll spank her butt. Spank her quickly. She hasn’t recovered yet, but she already wants to go out.”

Xu Qing’s face instantly flushed. How embarrassing!

Qiao Yanhui hugged Xu Hanxue as he looked at Xu Qing with a smile. Then, he said happily, “Alright, I will spank your mother’s butt now.”

Xu Qing was instantly enraged. “Qiao Yanhui, how dare you!”

Qiao Yanhui sat beside Xu Qing and pulled Xu Qing onto his lap. Then, he leaned close to Xu Qing’s ear and whispered, “Who said that she wanted to set an example for the children?”

Xu Qing’s eyes instantly widened. How could this be the same? He gave her a look that said, “If you dare, you’ll be dead meat!” But in the next second, Xu Qing felt her face burn. It was simply embarrassing because Qiao Yanhui had slapped her butt in front of the children. Although it was only a light slap, Xu Qing was still embarrassed and angry! However, just as she was about to lose her temper, she heard Qiao Yanhui say, “I’ll take you guys out to play today.”

“Sure!” The three children clapped their hands excitedly. If not for the fact that their mother needed to recuperate, they would have found it hard to withstand the boredom as well.

Xu Qing’s eyes lit up. There was no time to dwell on it. She wanted to go out and play now. She was dying of boredom at home! She would teach Qiao Yanhui a lesson at night.
