Xu Qing was shocked. When had Bei Shu provoked such a person? She had not even left her house recently!

“Is everyone okay?” Xu Qing immediately asked nervously.

“Our family is fine. However, something happened to the Xu family,” Xu Sizhi said in a low voice, his eyes filled with mockery. The Xu family really deserved it! The punishment from before was still too light.

Xu Qing frowned. What had the Xu family done now? Could it be that only death could stop them?

“That person found out in Nine Lakes Town that Mr. Bei Shu had a close relationship with the Xu family, so he went straight to Anning Village to look for the Xu family. In the end, he saw Chen Qiulian. Seeing that that person was either rich or noble, Chen Qiulian curried favor with him and brought him to the Xu family. In less than half an hour, he came out of the Xu family’s house. Everyone in the Xu family’s house was badly beaten. Their arms and legs were all broken, and Xu Jiangzhong even had a few ribs broken. That person left so quickly because the Xu family said that Mr. Bei Shu had already followed you to the capital.” Xu Sizhi did not have any pity for the Xu family at all. He only felt indignant. Why didn’t that person just kill them all?! He had already taken action anyway…

“So you haven’t found out his identity yet?” Xu Qing’s expression was a little gloomy. She had no sympathy for the Xu family.

Xu Sizhi shook his head solemnly. “At the moment, we only know that he’s not from our country. He came and went in a hurry and is very mysterious. However, he has conspicuous white hair.”

White hair!

Xu Qing’s heart skipped a beat. She inexplicably thought of the person she had met at Huashan Temple that day!

“Sister, I want to go back to Anning Village first.” Xu Sizhi was worried about their family. Moreover, he had to deal with the Golden Jade Hotel, which was in Nine Lakes Town. ???????????????????????????? ????o????

Xu Qing did not refuse. She also wanted to go back and take a look. Otherwise, she would not be at ease.

Qiao Yanhui had also received the news from Nine Lakes Town. At this moment, his expression was even more solemn.

When Xu Qing arrived, she saw Qiao Yanhui’s expression and understood that he definitely knew. Moreover, he seemed to know who that person was. Xu Qing asked directly, “You know?”

“He’s the Regent of the New Heavenly Kingdom. I didn’t expect him to come so early.” Qiao Yanhui’s eyes had a cold look in them. This person started causing trouble the moment he arrived. Did he really think that he, the War God, was a pushover. He didn’t take him seriously at all. How dare he be so arrogant in his territory?!

“It’s him!” Xu Qing frowned. What did Yi Chulin want? Did he think Bei Shu knew Ying Zhiyao?

“No, I have to return to Anning Village now.” Xu Qing was a little worried.

Qiao Yanhui shook his head. “You don’t have to go back. He’s already on his way to the capital. Nine Lakes Town will be fine. It’s just that… you have to be careful in the capital during this period of time. Try to avoid him.” Qiao Yanhui’s expression was solemn. Yi Chulin had already gone crazy. Sometimes, he didn’t have any rationality at all.

Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui with a mixed expression and didn’t say anything. She was thinking about that matter… should she tell Qiao Yanhui? But if she did, her past… she should wait a little longer.

Because of Qiao Yanhui’s instructions, Xu Qing had been studying all sorts of poisons at home these past few days and did not go out.

At this moment, Xu Qing was fiddling with all sorts of poisons, causing smoke to rise. Xun Fen knocked on the door and entered with a golden invitation letter. “Miss, the Eldest Princess sent an invitation.”

“Eldest Princess?” Xu Qing put down her work and walked out with the invitation. She looked at Qiao Yanhui, who was playing with the children in the courtyard.

Hearing that it was the Eldest Princess’ invitation, Qiao Yanhui’s gaze softened. “It depends on your mood. If you want to go, go. It’s fine even if you don’t.”

Xu Qing was a little curious about Ao Heng’s sister, the Eldest Princess, Ao Li’er. Rumor had it that the Eldest Princess was unlucky and five husbands of hers died. In the end, the Eldest Princess was disheartened and never married again. After that, she became passionate about charity and established a girls’ school in Nine Lakes Town. The reason she chose Nine Lakes Town was because the man the Eldest Princess loved the most was there. In order not to hurt him, she did not marry him. The two of them lived in agony…

Actually, Xu Qing did not believe in fate. Those men had probably died unnatural deaths, but how could they blamed all of this on the woman? To put it bluntly, if her husbands really did something, who could stop them?

However, Xu Qing also knew that some thoughts were already ingrained in this place. She could not change them at all, just like how the people here could not change her thoughts.
