331 Unfilial


    “They’re really restless.” Xu Qing believed that the Xu family didn’t have the ability to let this matter spread in just a few days, so Ao Heng definitely meddled. Their goal was very simple. Even if they couldn’t kill her, they had to give her a hard blow and distract Qiao Yanhui. Then, they wouldpletely end things during the festival.


    A cold look shed in Xu Qing’s eyes. Since the Xu family reported her for being unfilial, she would return the favor! She hoped that Ao Heng wouldn’t overestimate the Xu family or underestimate her. Otherwise, this game wouldn’t be fun.


    Qiao Yanhui was naturally dissatisfied with this. What right did those people have toment on his wife?


    That night, those who said that Xu Qing and the others weren’t worthy of living were beaten up by someone. Their chins were all dislocated and their mouths were swollen. They were beaten so seriously that they were unable to speak for a while.


    Immediately, many people felt hatred and fear towards Qiao Yanhui. They hated Qiao Yanhui for acting like he was above thew, and they feared that Qiao Yanhui would continue to take revenge.


    However, because the matter blew up, some foolishly filial people were enraged by the news. After all, filial piety was more important than the heavens in the Ancient Kingdom. If parents wanted to report their children for being unfilial, it must be the case, but if children wanted to report their parents, that would be sinful.


    Ao Heng and the others were happy to see this happen and were waiting for Xu Qing to shoot herself in the foot.


    Hence, Xu Qing and her family met again under the witness of the judge.


    The Xu family started their performance first. They sat on the ground and cried, while Xu Qing and the others sat on their chairs leisurely and watched.


    The outside was crowded withmoners. Coupled with the fact that someone had maliciously incited them, many people were furious and used Xu Qing of being unworthy of her status as the General’s wife.


    However, soon, their discussions became softer and softer. Qiao Yanhui’s aura was too terrifying and he seemed as if he wanted to send them all to hell…


    Xu Qing only took a nce at them. She knew very well that most of them were goaded, but so what? Just because they were stupid didn’t mean she had to forgive them for their ignorance.


    After receiving Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing’s warning gaze, no one dared to speak anymore.


    Without everyone’s discussion, only the Xu family members were left shouting. They did whatever they wanted without a care in the world.


    Xu Qing smiled and said calmly, “Your Honor, what is the crime of publicly insulting the royal family?”


    The judge looked at Qiao Yanhui with trepidation and replied, “A hundredshes!”


    The Xu family widened their eyes. What did he mean? They only scolded Xu Qing, so why were they going to get beaten up today?


    “Then let’s carry out the sentence,” Xu Qing said lightly.


    The judge didn’t dare to resist and quickly got someone to start the punishment.


    Immediately, screams sounded nonstop. The group of people outside couldn’t bear to watch anymore…


    “Stop!” Suddenly, a stern voice sounded. Bao Hongyi and Xu Jiangzhong arrived. They originally thought that goading the people was enough to handle this matter, but they didn’t expect Xu Qing to be so domineering that the people they incited didn’t even dare to speak anymore.


    If they didn’t stop this, the Xu family would be beaten to death, while Xu Qing wouldn’t be affected at all. Then, their efforts would have been in vain.


    “What do you mean by suddenly appearing and interrupting the punishment? You want to rece them?” Xu Qing asked in a mocking tone. What a sanctimonious hypocrite. He had studied all these years for nothing.


    When the Xu family heard this, they looked at Bao Hongyi expectantly.


    Bao Hongyi’s expression was ugly. What were these people thinking? He was the future emperor’s teacher. How could he be punished in ce of these lowly people? He looked at Xu Qing viciously as he said “They’re your elders. Although you guys aren’t their biological children, you guys were raised by them. How can you be so heartless as to punish them? What is your heart made of?”


    “You’re so ungrateful and rebellious!” When Xu Jiangzhong saw Bao Hongyi speak up, he felt emboldened.


    Xu Qing turned to look at them with a smile. Then, she raised her hand gently and shot out the silver needle in her hand very quickly.


    Bao Hongyi and Xu Jiangzhong werepletely stunned. They didn’t expect Xu Qing to dare to poison them in public. They were caught off guard and couldn’t dodge the silver needles at all.


    Xu Qing suddenlymented “How can you say that I’m ruthless? This is aw personally issued by the emperor. However, since Mr. Bao and Mr. Xu are so filial, you guys can receive punishment in their ce. I understand your good intentions. Don’t worry, I won’t let your good intentions be in vain. Men, punish them!”


    As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, her eyes became filled with ruthlessness. Bao Hongyi and Xu Jiangzhong trembled.
