Chapter 162: The First Test

Xu Qing completely ignored everyone’s gazes. She took care of the three children and fed them fruits.

However, just because Xu Qing didn’t cause trouble didn’t mean that the others would let her off the hook. Ever since Xu Qing appeared here, she had already become a public enemy.

A woman said to Xu Qing jealously, “You need a reality check. A poor family can’t stay here for long. However, it’s understandable. Some people might not be able to eat such high-end ingredients in their lifetime, right? Eat more.”

The woman who spoke looked arrogant and disdainful. Although her voice wasn’t loud, many people heard her and glanced over.

Seeing that someone had mocked Xu Qing, they were all amused and pleased. They naturally wanted Xu Qing to suffer embarrass!

Xu Qing’s gaze changed, and she looked at her daughter amiably. Xu Hanxue said softly, “Mom, I think these fruits are very beautiful, bur why doesn’t Little Black like them?”

“Who’s Little Black?” Qiao Yanhui looked at his daughter cooperatively, but his gaze was cold.

Xu Hanxue tilted her head and said innocently, “Father, you’re so stupid. Little Black is Grandma’s dog! It used to like eating pretty fruits, so I fed them to it, but it stopped liking them after a while. Hmph, it’s not cute at all…”

Little Black was actually a puppy brought over by Little White. They didn’t know where it was picked up from, but it was raised by Qu Feng later on.

This childish voice made the woman’s expression change instantly. Wasn’t that girl implying that even their dog was sick of eating these fruits?!

“You’re so smart to remember such a trivial matter so clearly.” Xu Qing patted Xu Hanxue’s head. Xu Tingdeng and Xu Yuandeng also looked at the woman with hostility. Was there anything in this world that their family couldn’t afford? This woman had probably never even seen the things they ate on a daily baasis! Xu Qing didn’t lack money now.

Xu Qing didn’t even look at the woman. Instead, she said calmly, “Everything here was bestowed by the emperor. Could it be that in your opinion, the food the emperor provided is not good enough for you?”

As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, her gaze suddenly turned cold.

The woman’s face turned pale and she shouted in panic, “That’s not what I meant!”

The emperor had been paying attention to them from the beginning. He was observing Xu Qing, and he didn’t expect her to be so scheming. She turned the situation around with just a few words! Qiao Yanhui was already enough to make him afraid, and now, he had such a smart wife…

“Mr. Zhu, family reputation is very important. Don’t tarnish your reputation right before you retire…” The emperor said calmly.

When the woman’s father heard this, he was even more terrified. “I’ll definitely discipline my child when I get back…”

Xu Qing looked at the emperor in shock. She had been tested by the emperor! Then, she looked at Qiao Yanhui. Did she cause him trouble? Qiao Yanhui only gave her a reassuring look, which made Xu Qing relax slightly.

The emperor had a total of seven sons, five princes, one crown prince, and Qiao Yanhui. Ever since he could remember, Qiao Yanhui had lived in the Qiao family’s home and had his mother’s surname. It was obvious that he had no right to inherit the throne. But even so, as Qiao Yanhui fought valiantly on the battlefield, he made the princes and the emperor afraid! Of course, if Qiao Yanhui didn’t have the ability to become a general, he might have died long ago, because he had been an eyesore since he was born!

Among the seven sons, the eldest and second son were already married, and the remaining four sons had yet to marry.

Of course, Qiao Yanhui also had a wife now.

And the purpose of today’s event was to choose wives for the other princes.

After this incident, the women present also understood that Qiao Yanhui’s woman wasn’t a pushover! They couldn’t attack her rashly and had to be careful!

Xu Qing felt a cold gaze sizing her up. She looked over and saw the empress looking at her with an unfriendly and wary gaze. This made Xu Qing a little vigilant. What did the empress mean?

Mu Weiqing was the most dazzling beauty in the room, but her hands, which were under the table, were tightly clenched. Her nails had already dug into her flesh, and she was using the pain to maintain her rationality.

What right did that woman have to stand beside Qiao Yanhui? She, Mu Weiqing, was the only one qualified to stand by Qiao Yanhui’s side!
