276 Unrelated Love

“Grandpa, we eat a lot every day and have grown taller, so we can also take care of Mother now.” Xue’er leaned into Xu Jiangxi’s arms and said affectionately.

Xu Jiangxi touched Xue’er’s head dotingly and said, “How obedient. If your grandmother finds out, she will definitely be so happy that she’ll eat two more bowls of rice.”

Xu Huai also hugged the three children one by one. It had been a long time since he had seen them. As their uncle, he missed them very much.

“Father, stay in the capital for a couple more days.” Xu Qing got someone to arrange a place for Xu Jiangxi and the others to stay.

“Alright.” Xu Jiangxi nodded. He could buy some gifts for Qu Feng in the capital. Although Xu Qing often got someone to send things back, he wanted to personally choose some.

Xu Huai also had a look of anticipation. He still wanted to continue learning from Xu Sizhi. “Sister, I don’t want to participate in future exams,” Xu Huai said with a serious expression. He liked business and not officialdom.

Xu Qing paused. When she saw Xu Huai’s serious expression. She said helplessly, “It’s up to you.” She understood that what the children truly wanted to do was more important than being forced. It seemed like Uncle Lei was going to be disappointed. Fortunately, there was still Xu Zhi. She heard from Lei Wangshu that Uncle Lei taught these two disciples step by step, since he was worried that they would be as heartless as his previous disciple.

Speaking of Uncle Lei’s disciple, it was said that he was highly valued by Ao Heng.

Xu Jiangxi and Xu Huai didn’t stay for long before going back. After all, they still had things to do at home. They came this time because they were worried about Xu Qing. Seeing with their own eyes that she was fine, they were relieved. However, Xu Xiang stayed because she wanted to continue learning medicine from Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at Xu Xiang in confusion. She said that she wanted to learn medicine from her, but why was she pestering Xu Sizhi every day?

However, even if Xu Xiang went to look for Xu Sizhi every day, she only saw him a few times. This made Xu Xiang feel dejected.

“Little Xiang, is there something on your mind?” Xu Qing felt that Xu Xiang had special feelings for Xu Sizhi, but perhaps she was overthinking it. After all, Xu Xiang was only an eight-year-old child. Even if Xu Xiang matured early, it shouldn’t be to this extent, right?

Xu Xiang looked at Xu Qing aggrievedly. “Sister, do you think Brother Sizhi hates me?”

Xu Qing pinched Xu Xiang’s face and smiled. “You’re so cute, so who would hate you?”

“Then why is he ignoring me?” Xu Xiang felt even more aggrieved.

Xu Qing hurriedly comforted her. “It’s not that he’s ignoring you. He’s just too busy.”

“Really?” Xu Xiang’s eyes were red as she looked at her sister in surprise.

Xu Qing touched her chin. “Tell me, do you have the same feelings for Brother Sizhi as you do for your brothers?”

Xu Xiang was a little confused. “I don’t know. Anyway, I don’t want to be separated from Brother Sizhi, nor do I want to be separated from Eldest Brother and Second Brother. Of course, Eldest Brother and Second Brother will always accompany me, but as for Brother Sizhi, I can’t be with him unless I marry him.”

Although Xu Xiang’s words were a little confusing, Xu Qing understood. Xu Xiang was young after all, and Xu Sizhi was also young. Xu Xiang was ignorant about relationships and simply didn’t want to be separated from him. As for the future, who knew what would happen?

“Do you know what it means to marry Brother Sizhi?” Xu Qing asked helplessly. Some things still needed to be clarified.

“I know. Just like Eldest Sister and Brother-in-law, we’ll be together forever.” Xu Xiang smiled happily.

“Yes…” Xu Qing suddenly couldn’t keep up with Xu Xiang’s train of thought. She didn’t know how to explain it. So Xu Xiang knew that it meant they would be husband and wife? She thought of how Xu Xiang was only eight years old and gave her a simple reminder. As for the future, she would leave it to time.

“Be good. You’re still young. Some things can be discussed after you grow up.” Xu Qing could only dissuade Xu Xiang with this excuse.

Xu Xiang shook her head. “No, I have to let Brother Sizhi know now. Otherwise, Mother will find a wife for Brother Sizhi.”

Xu Qing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. No wonder Xu Xiang ran over in a hurry this time. However, Xu Qing felt that Xu Sizhi definitely wouldn’t get married so early. After all, Xu Sizhi still had to take revenge.

About seven to eight days later, Xu Qing’s body recovered and she prepared to set off for the Green Mountain Nation.

“Little Hui, have you settled the matters on your side?” Xu Qing was a little worried. Ao Heng was probably on steroids now. In less than four months, he had been constantly nurturing his own faction. Although he had been stopped halfway by Qiao Yanhui, Ao Heng still continued to consolidate power patiently. Xu Qing couldn’t help but feel impressed. Was Ao Heng trying to give it one last ditch effort before he died?
