“Mom, they bullied Second Brother.” Xue’er pointed at the large group of children aggrievedly.

Xu Qing was speechless. Her calm and composed second son didn’t look like he had been bullied at all. However, she still had to ask, “Tell me, how did they bully him?”

“They bullied Second Brother for being small and wouldn’t let him participate. Then, Second Brother said that if he competed with them and won, they had to apologize to him,” Xue’er said.

The outcome was obvious. Xu Qing knew that her second son must have won, and those pampered young masters and young ladies couldn’t stand it.

Children, unlike adults, didn’t analyze the pros and cons thoroughly, nor did they think that Qiao Yanhui was that scary. Moreover, Qiao Yanhui wasn’t around, so they bullied her second son, a kid much smaller than them.

The leader was the Fourth Prince’s son, who had been pampered since he was young. He started the fight. However, Ting’er was uninjured, while Qi Yi and Lei Zhou were bruised and wounded. Xu Qing was very puzzled as to why those children were still fighting.

“Because Qi Yi and Lei Zhou said that they wanted to protect Second Brother, they were beaten up first. Then, Second Brother dragged them out,” Xue’er explained.

Xu Qing understood now. It seemed that Ting’er had replaced the targets of the beating. “Then who are they beating now?”

“Hmm…” Xue’er thought about it. “I think they’re beating a chubby kid.”

At this moment, the group of children was finally pulled apart. In the end, they realized that the person lying on the ground was a badly beaten chubby kid. It was their leader. All the children were stunned and immediately retreated in fear while putting on an innocent expression.

“Who beat my son up into this state?! You guys are crazy!” The fourth consort hugged her son, who looked badly beaten, with distress.

As the other noblewomen hugged their children in their arms, they tried their best to reduce their presence. After all, the Fourth Prince was the Emperor’s younger brother and the princes’ uncle. They couldn’t afford to offend him.

Xu Qing lowered her head and sneered. Her child had already been beaten up into this state, but she didn’t look for a doctor immediately, but tried to pursue accountability first. How ridiculous.

“I saw it just now. It was her son who hit him.” Lin Xia covered her swollen face as she glared at Xu Qing fiercely. Because she wasn’t favored, Xu Qing was able to bully her without consequences. However, the Fourth Prince’s wife was different. The Fourth Prince doted on his wife very much. Moreover, the Emperor valued his younger brother very much. Xu Qing was definitely dead meat.

The fourth consort immediately looked at Xu Qing angrily. Although she was afraid of Qiao Yanhui, since Xu Qing was being such a bully, she didn’t believe that Qiao Yanhui could protect her in this situation. “Madam, your son beat my son up. Aren’t you going to give me an explanation?”

“Your Highness, if I remember correctly, when the children fought, I was teaching you a lesson, right?” Xu Qing tidied Xue’er’s hair and didn’t even look at them.

Everyone present felt that Xu Qing was simply too condescending. Putting aside the fact that the status of the crown princess was higher than hers, what about the fourth consort? Xu Qing should have greeted the fourth consort as her aunt, but Xu Qing didn’t take her seriously at all. Even with Qiao Yanhui’s status and her identity as Bei Shu, how could she be so arrogant and disrespectful?

At this moment, Lin Xia wished she could kill Xu Qing. Not only did she slap her in front of so many people, but she also humiliated her.

The fourth consort didn’t have so many scruples. Among these children, Ting’er and Xue’er were the cleanest. Moreover, Xu Qing’s son was the cause of the fight, so she blamed Xu Qing for this.

“You’re really too outrageous and disrespectful to elders. I’ll definitely report you for this and make you pay!” The fourth consort roared, then started to wail because she felt that the child in her arms was getting weaker and weaker. This was her only son.

This was also why the first thing the fourth consort thought of was to shirk responsibility instead of carrying him to the doctor.

She was a woman blinded by power.

After Ao Li’er learned everything, she walked over with a gloomy expression. This woman clearly wanted to use Xu Qing as a stepping stone.
