Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Tingdeng also went up with an expectant expression. “Brother, I’m very impressive too, right?”

Xu Yuandeng only hummed softly before falling silent again.

Xu Tingdeng immediately looked hurt. Why didn’t his brother praise him?! He felt aggrieved, but no one cared.

Xu Hanxue ran to Xu Tingdeng considerately. “Second Brother, your performance was so good. You’re so awesome!”

Xu Tingdeng caressed Xu Hanxue’s face happily. His sister was the best.

Seeing such a harmonious scene, Ao Li’er revealed a gratified smile and looked at Xu Qing with admiration. “You’re not bad, and the children have been raised well. I’m at ease with entrusting Little Hui to you.” This was the first time Ao Li’er had not put on airs in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing said, “Thank you for your trust in me, but it’s because the children themselves are smart. Actually, I didn’t teach them much. They learned it themselves.”

Ao Li’er was even more impressed by Xu Qing’s modesty!

“Aunt…” Qiao Yanqi sounded a little aggrieved.

Ao Li’er only glanced at Qiao Yanqi indifferently and said to Xu Qing, “You’re Little Qi’s sister-in-law now. You should think about Little Qi. In the past, Xiao Hui and I doted on her. She’s the same age as Little Hui. Little Hui already has children, but she’s not even engaged yet. It won’t be good for you guys if this drags on, so I’ll leave Little Qi’s marital affairs to you.”

These words enraged Qiao Yanqi. So not only did she not make Ao Li’er hate Xu Qing today, but Ao Li’er even entrusted her marital affairs to Xu Qing to handle?

“An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. I will definitely choose properly.” Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanqi with a faint smile.

Qiao Yanqi said fiercely, “I don’t want to!” She only wanted to marry Brother Hui!

Ao Li’er frowned slightly. “Little Qi, don’t mess around.” Qiao Yanqi was really becoming more and more willful. In the past, Ao Li’er felt that Qiao Yanqi didn’t want to get married because Qiao Yanqi couldn’t bear to part with her brother. However, as a woman, Ao Li’er was very sensitive. In the past few years, Ao Li’er felt more and more that Qiao Yanqi’s feelings for Qiao Yanhui were no longer purely that of a sibling. There was also a certain emotion that disgusted her.

Now that Qiao Yanqi’s abnormal feelings were becoming more and more serious, how could she continue to let Qiao Yanqi ruin the royal family’s reputation? If others found out, what would happen to Qiao Yanhui’s reputation? There was no telling how many people were waiting to catch Qiao Yanhui in the wrong?!

“Aunt, don’t worry. I’ll definitely choose well for Xiaoqi. I won’t let her suffer,” Xu Qing raised her eyebrows and said.

Qiao Yanqi became even more resentful and her expression looked extremely ferocious. She might not have realized it, but she could no longer hide her true colors. The Eldest Princess wasn’t blind. Qiao Yanqi was so enraged that she lost her rationality.

“Alright, go play.” Ao Li’er was also a little tired and said to Xu Qing and the others.

Xu Qing nodded and said to the three children, “Then the three of you, go accompany her.”

The three children were very obedient and ran to Ao Li’er’s side to coax her.

Ao Li’er’s expression instantly changed. She had been alone for too long and needed someone to accompany her. The three children were so sensible and adorable that Ao Li’er’s heart was about to melt.

Xun Fen and Teng Nian naturally stayed. Xu Qing followed Qiao Yanqi to admire the flowers. Of course, the two of them didn’t really go to admire the flowers.

After the two of them came to a place with no one around, Xu Qing looked at the resentful Qiao Yanqi and said, “Actually, I suspect that you’re not really Qiao Yanhui’s twin sister. You’re really not like your brother at all. Moreover, your personalities are worlds apart. My sons and daughters have similarities with each other, but you…”

When she said this, Xu Qing kept looking at Qiao Yanqi, so she naturally didn’t miss Qiao Yanqi’s flustered expression. This shocked Xu Qing. She had said this just to provoke Qiao Yanqi, but what did Qiao Yanqi mean by that reaction? It seemed like she had to let Xu Sizhi investigate this matter.

“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Qiao Yanqi’s voice became sharp.

This made Xu Qing’s expression change and she said calmly, “If you’re really Qiao Yanhui’s sister, why are you panicking? Why do I feel like you’re confessing without being pressed? Don’t tell me you’re really a fake?”

Qiao Yanqi clenched her fists tightly. She had always been Qiao Yanhui’s sister, and no one had ever suspected her. How could she panic just because of Xu Qing’s words? She shouted, “You’re just jealous that my aunt and Brother Hui treat me better!”
