Chapter 193 - : Ao Jie's Past

Back then, Xu Qing had also spent a lot of money to hire Huacheng to make something. However, he didn’t care about how much money she offered to pay him and didn’t even look at it, let alone accept the business. Otherwise, she would have made some for the children to protect themselves.

“Mingxi is actually Deng Jiangming.” Qiao Yanhui looked at Xu Qing with a faint smile.

“It’s actually Deng Jiangming? He’s the number one concealed weapon master?” Xu Qing was shocked. Since Mingxi was Deng Jiangming, it was no wonder Qiao Yanhui could take out so many concealed weapons.

Each of the concealed weapons had its own strengths and weaknesses. It was up to Xu Qing to choose. If Xu Qing encountered the same situation as last time, she would definitely be able to hold on for a while longer, let alone suffer such serious injuries. However, Xu Qing was touched by Qiao Yanhui. This was because although these concealed weapons were well-made, the most precious thing was the materials inside. Qiao Yanhui had probably worked hard to find them. He had probably been searching for these after she was injured just to give her more protection. Of course, he had also gotten a few small bracelets for the three children. They could carry more poison around to protect themselves.

Ao Jie came to the Qiao family’s house early the next day because he was so excited that he didn’t sleep well the entire night. This was the first time Qiao Yanhui had invited him! However, because he came too early, Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing hadn’t woken up yet.

Actually, Ao Jie had come a little too early. It was only six o’clock. Those who didn’t know better would think that he was here for breakfast.

Since Ao Jie came early, he sat outside to wait. He wasn’t angry at all, but he didn’t expect to wait all morning! The three children woke up after taking an afternoon nap! As Ao Jie gazed at the scorching sun in the sky, he wondered, why didn’t he know that Qiao Yanhui could sleep so well in the past?

“Hehe, Mommy and Daddy are making me little brothers and sisters, so Uncle, please wait for a while longer.” Xu Hanxue sat in the garden excitedly. She finally wouldn’t be the youngest one anymore.

Ao Jie was caught between laughter and tears. Who taught a three-year-old child this phrase?!

Teng Nian and Xun Fen blushed and didn’t dare to look up. They wished they could fly over and cover Xu Hanxue’s mouth right now! How awkward!

Ao Jie pinched Xu Hanxue’s chubby face. “You like having siblings that much?”

Xu Hanxue nodded excitedly. “Yes! This way, I’ll be the older sister and can protect my younger siblings like my brothers do!” The other two brothers had doting expressions on their faces when they heard this.

As Ao Jie watched the harmonious scene in front of him, he was touched. If only his siblings could be like this! However, he knew that this was impossible. In fact, he wasn’t a kind person either. He just didn’t like the ruthlessness and heartlessness of the royal family, but the other Ao Jie liked it very much…

Finally, just as Ao Jie was about to fall asleep from waiting, Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui finally came out. Xu Qing didn’t know that there was someone waiting outside! She wanted to strangle Qiao Yanhui to death because Qiao Yanhui had been too vigorous last night. She only fell asleep at five in the morning. She had just fallen asleep when Ao Jie came! Even now, she felt her legs trembling!

However, looking at Qiao Yanhui’s refreshing appearance, Xu Qing felt that it was unfair. Why was she so tired that her entire body was limp, while Qiao Yanhui was energetic?! Most importantly, he knew that there was someone waiting, but he was still so rough on her. Xu Qing felt utterly embarrassed! She thought to herself that she definitely wouldn’t let Qiao Yanhui sleep in her room tonight.

“Ahem, hello, Sixth Brother.” Xu Qing greeted him awkwardly, especially when she saw Ao Jie’s understanding expression. Xu Qing was so angry that she wanted to beat Qiao Yanhui up!

“Good morning, Seventh Sister-in-law.” Ao Jie smiled.

Qiao Yanhui snorted coldly at Ao Jie, who had come too early. Then, he asked Xun Fen and Teng Nian to bring the three children to play because what they were going to do next couldn’t be leaked!

“Little Hui, why did you ask me to come?” Seeing that the couple had solemn expressions, Ao Jie frowned slightly.

Actually, Qiao Yanhui didn’t know how Ao Jie’s illness came about. He only knew that Ao Jie had an accident when he was eight years old, and he didn’t know the details. However, Ao Jie had changed since then. Therefore, if he wanted to treat Ao Jie now, this incident was important.

“Don’t be nervous. We want to ask if you still remember what happened when you were young.” Xu Qing’s voice was very gentle.

However, Ao Jie’s body trembled, as if he was afraid of something. Of course, it wasn’t because of Xu Qing’s gentleness.

“What happened when you were eight years old?” Qiao Yanhui asked directly. Ao Jie was going to be the emperor, so he couldn’t be weak. He couldn’t always protect Ao Jie.
