Picked Up A Husband For Farming

277 Selfish Woman

Actually, Ao Heng wasn’t only constantly nurturing his power in his court, but his harem was also welcoming new concubines. With such a commotion, who could tell that he was about to die soon?

What Qiao Yanhui found out was that Ao Heng must have taken some medicine to make him look more and more energetic on the surface, but in reality, he was empty inside. However, it was also because of this that Qiao Yanhui noticed Lin Shu. Lin Shu was indeed not as simple as she seemed. She had many trump cards that she had yet to reveal.

Xu Qing couldn’t be bothered to interfere. She believed that Qiao Yanhui could handle it well.

“Don’t worry, they won’t be able to last long.” Qiao Yanhui touched Xu Qing’s hair and comforted her.

“Then let’s set off tomorrow,” Xu Qing said. After all, this matter couldn’t be delayed any longer. Actually, when Xu Jiangxi and the others returned, Xu Qing wanted to set off, but Qiao Yanhui asked her to recuperate for a few more days, which delayed it until now.

“Alright.” Qiao Yanhui nodded.

“This time, I want to bring Sizhi along. I want to expand the Dark Night Army to other countries,” Xu Qing suddenly said.

“I’ll listen to you.” Qiao Yanhui knew what Xu Qing was thinking. She just wanted to help him.

After confirming the number of people, Xu Qing packed her luggage because she still had to bring the children. After all, if she left the children behind, it would definitely be even more dangerous.

At night, Ao Jie came. He knew that Qiao Yanhui was leaving, so he instructed them to be careful on the way.

Xu Qing chuckled.

“Sister-in-law, what are you laughing about?” Ao Jie looked puzzled.

When Xu Qing saw Qiao Yanhui’s dark expression, she said helplessly, “The crown prince of our country is actually more naggy than an old woman, so I laughed.” Xu Qing knew that if Ao Jie continued, Qiao Yanhui would have kicked Ao Jie out. For the sake of Ao Jie’s life, she naturally had to interrupt him kindly.

Ao Jie blushed and looked at Qiao Yanhui cautiously. He was frightened by Qiao Yanhui’s dark expression and hurriedly said, “I’m done. You have to be careful. I’ll go back now.”

“Ao Jie,” Qiao Yanhui suddenly said.

Ao Jie stopped in his tracks with anticipation.

Qiao Yanhui said, “Don’t die.”

Ao Jie was instantly speechless. Couldn’t he just say “be careful”?

Xu Qing smiled helplessly. He was clearly worried about Ao Jie, but he couldn’t bring himself to say anything mushy. After all, Ao Heng was also afraid of Ao Jie. However, he didn’t kill him because he was worried about Qiao Yanhui and Lin Shu.

“We won’t be in the capital for the time being, so be careful,” Xu Qing said.

“Okay.” Ao Jie’s eyes welled up with tears.

Because Qiao Yanhui and the others had left quietly, their itinerary was kept a secret. Even Ao Jie didn’t know where Qiao Yanhui had gone. He only knew that Qiao Yanhui had left. However, even though Qiao Yanhui was so careful, the people who wanted to kill him set up an ambush on the way out of the city. They had even set up an ambush in all four directions.

After all, it was rare for Qiao Yanhui to leave town, so they had to hunt him down. If they killed him, it would be a win for them. Even if they couldn’t kill him, they could find another opportunity.

Qiao Yanhui had killed many people along the way, but it didn’t affect their schedule. After all, they had brought many people with them. Xu Qing had brought Yi Li, Ji Wu, Teng Nian, and Xun Fen, as well as Qiao Yi and Qiao Er. Xu Sizhi had also brought many secret guards.

Not long after Xu Qing and the others left, Zhuo Wuyou received the news. He said in a low voice, “Go find out where she went.”

Huang Zhi immediately went to investigate, but she felt extreme resentment towards Xu Qing. She left so decisively and didn’t even tell Zhuo Wuyou? If she left for a year or something, how much yearning would Zhuo Wuyou have to suffer? How could she be so selfish?

Xu Qing suddenly sneezed. Why did she feel that someone was badmouthing her behind her back?

“Are you cold?” Qiao Yanhui grabbed Xu Qing’s hand to warm her up.

“I’m not cold.” Xu Qing leaned into Qiao Yanhui’s arms and looked at Xu Sizhi, who had been silent. “Sizhi, aren’t you afraid that Xu Xiang will ignore you after you knock her out and send her back?”

Not long after, they discovered Xu Xiang, who was hiding. Xu Qing naturally didn’t want Xu Xiang to follow them. The journey was too dangerous, and they still had to take care of the three children. They couldn’t have more distractions. Xu Qing didn’t want to see anyone injured either. Moreover, they weren’t out to play.

Therefore, Xu Sizhi knocked Xu Xiang out and had someone send her back to Anning Village.
