Chapter 221: Crisp Slap

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Yanqi and the two consorts were furious. They had done everything in vain! They had even offended someone they couldn’t afford to!

Qiao Yanqi’s eyes widened as she said in disbelief, “Impossible! This woman is clearly…”

“Who is it? Is it me?” Xu Qing’s mocking voice came from behind the crowd. Everyone retreated to the side in fear and subconsciously distanced themselves from her. This also allowed Xu Qing to walk in smoothly.

Xu Qing was still wearing the clothes she had come in. She wasn’t wet at all, and even her hair wasn’t messy. She looked noble and elegant.

Looking at Xu Qing’s smile, Qiao Yanqi understood now. They had all fallen into this woman’s trap! This woman fooled them on purpose! How vicious. How could Brother Hui like such a vicious person?

“I went to look for my children just now, but I couldn’t find them after searching around. I saw so many people here, so I came to watch the commotion. I didn’t expect it to be so exciting!” Xu Qing walked to the Eldest Princess’s side and smiled.

The Eldest Princess’s eyes were filled with admiration and relief. Fortunately, Xu Qing was fine. Otherwise, Qiao Yanhui would definitely tear down her house!

“It’s good that you’re fine!” the Eldest Princess said meaningfully. She knew that Xu Qing felt that it wasn’t that simple. This was good too. This way, Qiao Yanhui wouldn’t have such a hard time protecting her.

“Mom.” Xu Hanxue ran to Xu Qing excitedly and hugged her thigh while rubbing her face against it. She really thought that something bad had happened to her mother just now. If not for the fact that the woman on the ground didn’t smell like her mother, she might have cried from anxiety. She was really frightened to death!

Xu Tingdeng also hugged Xu Qing’s thigh with obvious worry.

Xu Qing patted the three children’s heads. She had probably frightened them.

Xu Hanxue thought of how she had almost cried just now and pouted. “Mom, Grandaunt said that those who slander you will be executed.”

If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, it was difficult to imagine that such words would come out of a cute little girl’s mouth. However, what Xu Hanxue said was true!

Moreover, the unconscious woman on the ground was arranged by Qiao Yanqi and the others, so Xu Qing didn’t pity her at all. If she was really just an ordinary person, she would be the one executed today.

Qiao Yanqi and the two princes’ consorts paled when they heard Xu Hanxue’s words. They hurriedly explained, “We didn’t want to say that the woman on the ground is the General’s wife!”

“You guys admitted to my brother just now, but you’re still lying to us now.” Xu Hanxue straightened her neck and said indignantly.

The three of them blushed when they heard a three-year-old child accuse them. But no matter what, they couldn’t be slapped or executed. Otherwise, with their identities, how could they have the cheek to stay in the capital in the future?! Even their families wouldn’t be able to establish themselves in the capital! Their husbands might even ask them to get lost!

As Ao Li’er stood in the crowd, she felt a headache coming on. It seemed like today’s matter couldn’t be settled peacefully.

“I think they drank a little too much today. They probably didn’t do it on purpose. How about sparing them?” Ao Li’er looked at Xu Qing.

However, her words made the three women widen their eyes. So the Eldest Princess was actually helping Xu Qing?

Ao Li’er snorted coldly. If she didn’t do this today, with how protective Qiao Yanhui was of his wife, wouldn’t he kill them all? Now, instead of thanking her, they actually resented her. What a group of ingrates! Ao Li’er felt angry.

Of course, Ao Li’er couldn’t interfere with what Qiao Yanhui would do in the future. She could only save these people’s lives today.

“Since you’ve said so, I can’t punish them too severely. However, the Qiao family’s reputation is important after all, so let them slap themselves.” Xu Qing’s nonchalant words made the three women fly into a rage!

“Xu Qing, what right do you have to punish us like this?! What right do you have?!” The three women glared at Xu Qing fiercely.

“It seems that you ladies can’t bear to hit yourselves? That’s fine. Xun Fen, Teng Nian, carry out their punishment for them!” Xu Qing said coldly.

Didn’t Qiao Yanqi like to slap herself? Then she would let Qiao Yanqi slap herself this time. As for Jin Zhi and Sun Mi, didn’t they like to set her up? Then she would let them suffer the consequences!

However, Xu Qing’s only regret was that she didn’t arrange such a scene for them.
