Chapter 214: Xu Qing’s Shock

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Hanxue puffed up her cheeks and held Xu Qing’s hand as she asked with an innocent and curious expression, “Mom, who is this beautiful auntie?” She didn’t like others mistreating her mother, but this auntie was different. She could sense that her mother and father cared a lot about her, so she didn’t say anything bad about her. Of course, no one could bully her mother.

However, this made Qiao Jiqing’s heart soften. It wasn’t only because she called her a beautiful auntie, but also because this child was too cute! She didn’t have children, but she had always liked children, especially since this child’s profile was very similar to Qiao Jiqing’s…

“This is your grandaunt,” Xu Qing replied with a smile. Her daughter was smart and knew how to stand up for her mother.

…

“Hello, Madam,” the three children greeted politely. They were all adorable.

This completely dispelled Ao Li’er’s last bit of hesitation and dislike. She hurriedly waved at the three children and said in an amiable voice, “Come, come to me.”

The three children turned around and looked at Xu Qing first. Seeing Xu Qing smile and nod, the three children walked over.

“They look so alike him! They’re exactly the same!” As Ao Li’er looked at these exquisite little faces, she shouted excitedly. One of the little boys looked exactly like Qiao Yanhui, while the other boy and the only girl looked like Qiao Jiqing.

Xu Qing was puzzled when she heard that. Like who? Like Qiao Yanhui? This wasn’t the first time she had heard people say that. However, these three children weren’t Qiao Yanhui’s biological children. Even she didn’t know who their father was! After all, the Host was really a girl who had grown up in the village. Perhaps the furthest place she had traveled to was Nine Lakes Town on the day she was almost sold. Therefore, how could a person who had rarely left home have the opportunity to meet the famous War God, Qiao Yanhui?

But now, Xu Qing realized that more and more people were saying that the children looked like Qiao Yanhui. This made her wonder. She had always thought that it was because the children were getting closer and closer to Qiao Yanhui. After all, Qiao Yanhui treated the children as his own. As their biological mother, she couldn’t find anything dissatisfactory about how Qiao Yanhui treated the children.

But now that she took a closer look, these three children really looked very similar to Qiao Yanhui, especially the eldest son. This wasn’t her preconceived notion at all! At this moment, Xu Qing finally discovered something she had neglected. She was wondering why the entire Qiao family treated the three children differently. This wasn’t because of Qiao Yanhui’s reputation. They believed that these three children belonged to Qiao Yanhui! They had never doubted the children’s background!

Xu Qing’s expression became solemn. When she returned, she had to get Xu Sizhi to investigate what had happened back then!

Initially, she felt that since she was already married to Qiao Yanhui, there was no need to investigate the past anymore. She was worried that if she found out, there would be more trouble. But now, something was clearly fishy. If she didn’t investigate clearly, she would feel uneasy!

Ao Li’er didn’t know about Xu Qing’s thoughts. She hugged and kissed each of the little children. However, when it was Xu Yuandeng’s turn, Xu Yuandeng immediately dodged with a tense expression and a frown.

Not only was Ao Li’er not angry, but she even chuckled. “You’re just like Little Hui when he was young. He was unwilling to be hugged or kissed either.”

Xu Qing was still silent. Perhaps these three children really belonged to Qiao Yanhui! Did Qiao Yanhui know? Did he know from the beginning? Was that why he married her and didn’t mind that she had children? After all, in this sexist era, men reigned supreme. Was there really a man who treated other people’s children as his own?

Xu Qing was shocked by her sudden thought, and her expression darkened.

Ao Li’er praised Xu Qing because Xu Qing had raised her children well. This made Qiao Yanqi anxious.

Qiao Yanqi hurriedly changed the topic to the three children. Even if Xu Qing was capable, it might not be the case for the three children. The children were so young. They could expose the true situation of a family the most. People wouldn’t think that it was the children’s fault. They would only think that the parents didn’t raise them well. Moreover, how could Xu Qing, a village girl, educate the children? She gave off a low-class vibe.
