Chapter 191 - Painful Torture

Xu Qing was distracted by her thoughts and didn’t even notice when Qiao Yanhui walked in. When she sensed a familiar aura, she realized that Qiao Yanhui was staring at her with a gentle gaze.

“Are you tired?” Qiao Yanhui asked.

Xu Qing didn’t answer and just hugged Qiao Yanhui gently. She shouldn’t have imagined those scenarios. She just had to cherish what was in front of her! She quickly composed herself and said, “Little Hui, do you know the Regent of New Heavenly Kingdom?”

Qiao Yanhui looked at Xu Qing and said, “Of course I know.”

Xu Qing asked again, “Then do you know that he has a woman he loves very much?”

Qiao Yanhui nodded softly.

“Do you think I can see that Regent?” Xu Qing seemed to be asking Qiao Yanhui and herself at the same time. She had been thinking about it and couldn’t help but want to tell Qiao Yanhui that Ying Zhiyao had also been very agonized back then. She had her own difficulties.

However, Xu Qing’s words made Qiao Yanhui nervous. He tightened his grip on Xu Qing and said in a low voice, “Why do you want to see him?”

Qiao Yanhui became suspicious again. Could it be that Xu Qing was really the woman that the Regent liked? However, their ages didn’t match! The woman that the Regent liked couldn’t be so young…

“I… I have something to pass to him on behalf of someone.” Xu Qing hadn’t decided on telling Qiao Yanhui her background yet. Perhaps she was still a little afraid. She was worried that Qiao Yanhui wouldn’t be able to accept it, so Xu Qing didn’t explain who she was passing it to on behalf of.

Seeing that Xu Qing was unwilling to say anything, Qiao Yanhui felt a little dejected, but he didn’t force Xu Qing. After all, he had some things that he hadn’t confessed to Xu Qing about, so he answered Xu Qing’s question. “When Ao Heng celebrates his birthday, every country will send envoys to his birthday celebration. Last time, Yi Chulin came on behalf of the New Heavenly Kingdom. I heard that he’s coming this time as well.”

Xu Qing nodded.

“But you can’t see him alone!” Qiao Yanhui warned because Yi Chulin was a little mentally unstable now. He was worried that Yi Chulin would hurt Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was stunned, but she still nodded.

After Xu Qing rested for a hundred days, she could finally walk around without being restricted. As for the candy house and beauty salon she was going to open, she only needed to oversee the initial planning. Someone had helped her settle the rest. Therefore, after Xu Qing recovered, the beauty salon and candy house were already open. Xu Qing had additional sources of income.

However, every time Xu Qing looked in the mirror, especially when she saw her chubby face, Xu Qing felt vexed! She also gained weight on her stomach.

Xun Fen hurriedly comforted Xu Qing. “Miss, you’re not fat at all.”

Xu Qing pinched the flesh on her face. “Stop comforting me! I have to find something to do.” Actually, it wasn’t just to lose weight. She wasn’t someone who liked the laid-back lifestyle. She really wasn’t used to being so idle.

Seeing this, Teng Nian took out a title deed and said, “Miss, the general said that if you’re really too bored, he’ll buy you some land and you can do whatever you want.”

Xu Qing took it and her eyes instantly widened. Alright, Little Hui was really rich. The land deed was several times larger than the one he had given her before! It was enough to build a safari park because there was even a small mountain on it!

“In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony!” Xu Qing had really been idle for too long and had many plans in her mind.

Teng Nian and Xun Fen also thoughtfully prepared pen and paper for Xu Qing.

Xu Qing thought about planting some more food on such a large piece of land. After all, with Qiao Yanhui’s status, if Ao Heng really wanted to fight to the death and refused to give them food, Qiao Yanhui would have to support the army himself. Coupled with the fact that there were mountains there, Xu Qing felt that they could build a cold cellar in the mountains. As for the other empty spaces, she would build an amusement park…

No matter where the children went in the future, if they could have an amusement park to go to, they would always be in a good mood.

Qiao Yanhui had been very busy recently. This was because he had removed a large portion of Ao Heng’s people from the court and replaced them with his own people.

Because of this, Ao Heng, who had just recovered, collapsed again. Then, there was a commotion again.

Most importantly, Qiao Yanhui had successfully let Xu Qing enter the royal family’s family tree! Although Qiao Yanhui didn’t care about this sort of thing, since he was also in the family tree, his wife and children couldn’t be left out.
