“Then what are you going to do?” Xu Qing frowned. Qiao Yanhui’s treatment couldn’t wait.

“After I’m done here, I’ll go to the Green Mountain Nation personally and talk to their State Master,” Qiao Yanhui smoothed Xu Qing’s frown as he said.

In fact, Green Mountain Nation would also send envoys for Ao Heng’s birthday. However, it was impossible for them to bring a rare national treasure. He could only negotiate personally.

“I’ll go with you.” Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui.

Qiao Yanhui nodded. He knew that he couldn’t stop Xu Qing. If he stopped her, she would definitely secretly go there. Therefore, he might as well bring Xu Qing there directly. He would be more at ease that way.

Xu Qing hugged Qiao Yanhui’s waist. “Are you free these two days?”

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Yanhui’s gaze was soulful as he asked.

“I heard that praying at Huashan Temple can bring people good luck. I want to go pay my respects to Buddha.” Xu Qing felt that she had experienced all sorts of trouble ever since she came to the capital. She wanted to go to the temple to pay her respects to Bodhisattva to get rid of her bad luck.

When Qiao Yanhui heard the mention of Huashan Temple, his body stiffened. He was silent for a moment before saying, “Alright.”

Huashan Temple was in the suburbs of the capital and wasn’t far from the royal palace. In fact, according to its geographical location, the royal family had originally planned to turn Huashan Temple into a royal temple. However, because the monks in the temple abided by the principle that everyone was equal, ordinary people were able to come. Therefore, the incense offerings increased even more.

Because it wasn’t far, Qiao Yanhui didn’t make too many arrangements. He prepared to go the next morning.

However, just as they were about to go out, they saw Qiao Yanqi looking at Qiao Yanhui expectantly. “Brother Hui, I want to go too.”

Qiao Yanhui was displeased and said coldly, “I have other business to do. Stay at home.”

In an instant, Qiao Yanqi’s eyes were filled with resentment. They were clearly going out to have fun. What other business could they do?! They just didn’t want to bring her along. Qiao Yanqi said aggrievedly, “But I miss Mom and Second Brother and want to see them… Can’t I go with you?”

Xu Qing was about to say something when she saw Qiao Yanhui’s expression turn even uglier. “Find a time to go yourself. Don’t follow us.” With that, he left with his wife and children.

Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui, whose expression suddenly darkened, and held his hand gently. She only found out that Qiao Yanhui’s mother and second brother’s memorial tablets were in Huashan Temple when she was planning to go.

Ao Heng was really quite ruthless. No matter what, Qiao Jiqing was Ao Heng’s concubine. Yet, she wasn’t allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, nor was she allowed to be buried in the Qiao family’s cemetary. How insulting was this for a woman?! Ao Heng even abandoned the newborn Qiao Yanhui and his sister to the Qiao family to be raised by an old servant of the Qiao family. Even his name was given to him by Uncle Yu according to the Qiao family’s genealogy.

When Qiao Yanhui saw Xu Qing’s gentle look, his expression sofetened. Then, he hugged his wife tightly.

In the next second, three children looked over in unison. Xu Qing blushed and said in a low voice, “Hurry up and let go. The children are still here.”

“Mom, I want Daddy to carry me too,” Xu Hanxue said innocently as she reached out her hand.

Xu Qing looked embarrassed, and then she heard Qiao Yanhui say, “Be good. Your mother is carsick. Let your brothers carry you.”

If Xu Qing wanted to smack him for making things up! When did she get car sick? She even knew how to drive!

Xu Hanxue frowned and thought about it, but in the next second, she said, “Daddy, you’re lying. Mommy never got carsick in the past! You just want to hug Mommy yourself! Hmph, alright, if Mommy wants a hug, I don’t want Daddy to hug me anymore! Brother, hug me.” Xu Hanxue reached out her chubby hand to her brother.

Xu Yuandeng hugged Xu Hanxue dotingly. This made his second brother very jealous. He was just born a little later, so why was he ranked second?!

Xu Qing couldn’t care less about her second son’s anger at the moment. Qiao Yanhui was the one who forcefully hugged her, so why did she become the one that wanted to hug him?! She, as an old mother, had lost all her pride! Xu Qing glared at Qiao Yanhui, who was smiling. She would definitely teach him a lesson tonight!

The journey to Huashan Temple wasn’t far, but there were people harassing them along the way, and assassins came in waves. The people who wanted to kill Xu Qing were still quite determined! They had already gone all out in order to kill her!

However, with Qiao Yanhui around this time, although they were not fully prepared, they still made some basic preparations. The family arrived at Huashan Temple safe and sound.

When Xu Qing got out of the car and saw the crowd in front of her, she was actually a little worried. She was a little wary of crowds now. However, Huashan Temple was different. It was filled with incense and heavily guarded. No one would be foolish enough to kill someone in front of the Bodhisattva.

However, Xu Qing couldn’t help but ask, “Is this place usually this lively?”
