In the next second, Teng Nian rushed in front of Mu Xin and broke her finger. She had been annoyed with this woman for a while now. If she had followed her habits from two years ago, she would have killed Mu Xin already!

“Ah!” Mu Xin covered her finger and screamed. Then, she curled up on the ground in pain. Just as she was about to get someone to beat Xu Qing up, she heard the security guard at the door suddenly shout respectfully, “Greetings, General’s wife!”

That person was holding an invitation Xun Fen handed over.

When she heard this, Mu Xin’s face instantly turned pale. She couldn’t care less about whether her fingers hurt or not. She remembered her parents’ instructions. The person she shouldn’t offend no matter what was the General’s wife, Xu Qing, because Qiao Yanhui would go crazy over Xu Qing!

She had never seen Xu Qing before, let alone noticed the three children! Now that she saw the three children, she realized who Xu Qing was. Turned out that she had been used!

Mu Xin was filled with regret. Her face turned pale and her entire body trembled.

“Not just anyone can enter the Eldest Princess’s residence either. Safety comes first. If I remember correctly, this lady doesn’t seem to have an invitation, right? Even if the invitation says we can bring a friend, it’s better not to let such a person taint the Eldest Princess’ residence!” Xu Qing said calmly to the security guard.

The chief security guard hurriedly nodded in agreement, in stark contrast to his poker face just now. After all, everyone in the capital knew that the person they shouldn’t provoke the most was Xu Qing!

When Mu Xin heard this, her face paled. She had worked so hard to obtain this opportunity today. If she lost it, she was afraid that the Mu family… Thinking of her outcome, Mu Xin was so frightened that her face turned even paler.

The Eldest Princess immediately received the news of what had happened to Xu Qing. “Is she really a village girl from the countryside?”

“That’s right, Aunt! You don’t know how vulgar and vicious she is! She’s simply a shrew with no manners! Look at the palm print on my face. She slapped me! I’ve never been bullied like this in my entire life! It hurts, Aunt.” Qiao Yanqi lay on the Eldest Princess’s lap aggrievedly and tears fell. She even deliberately exposed her slapped face.

Actually, the palm print Xu Qing had given her had long disappeared. She didn’t know how Xu Qing did it. At that time, her face clearly felt painful and was even swollen, but it disappeared after a while. In order to let Ao Li’er uphold justice for her, she slapped herself twice. She didn’t hold back at all. Her palm was still hurting even now.

When Ao Li’er saw Qiao Yanqi’s face, she exclaimed, “Heavens, is that woman crazy?! She wants to disfigure you!”

Ao Li’er was forty-five years old, but she took good care of herself and looked to be only thirty-two years old.

When she heard the servant’s report, she wondered if this village girl had become a bully because she had Qiao Yanhui backing her. She had thought that the person Qiao Yanhui liked probably had some outstanding qualities to her, but when she saw Qiao Yanqi’s face, she believed her.

She also knew that Qiao Yanqi would occasionally play some tricks, but it didn’t matter. After all, Qiao Yanqi was a member of the royal family. If she was really too naive, how could she survive? She couldn’t always protect her, and she believed that Qiao Yanqi wouldn’t joke around with her own face. That woman must have hit Qiao Yanqi!

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Qiao Yanqi leaned on the Eldest Princess’s lap and revealed a smug sneer! As long as Ao’er didn’t like Xu Qing, even if Qiao Yanhui didn’t say anything, he would definitely feel estranged from Xu Qing. Then, if she added fuel to the flames, it would only make Qiao Yanhui hate Xu Qing even more. At that time, Xu Qing would be dead meat! Xu Qing actually thought she could go against her? She had lived in the royal family for more than twenty years, so how could a village girl like Xu Qing be her opponent? She underestimated her!

“Since your brother has already married, what about you? When will you get married? You’re the same age as your brother. You’re not young anymore. You can’t delay it anymore.” Ao Li’er thought of Qiao Yanqi’s marriage prospects. It would probably be very difficult to arrange. After all, her previous fiancés had accidents one after another, causing rumors that the princess of the royal family was a jinx!

When Qiao Yanqi heard this, her expression froze, but she quickly composed herself and said pitifully, “I don’t want to get married! I just want to stay by Brother Hui and Aunt’s side forever.”

“Silly child, even if you’re married, you’re still our most beloved little girl,” Ao Li’er said amiably as she patted Qiao Yanqi’s little head. In the beginning, she had taken care of the two of them because of her relationship with Qiao Jiqing, but as time passed and since she didn’t have children, she started to sincerely treat the two of them as her own children.
