The desire in Qiao Yanhui’s eyes was about to overwhelm her. This made Xu Qing tense up and she hurriedly covered her head with the blanket as she said in a muffled voice, “I haven’t recovered yet. My chest still hurts! It takes a hundred days to recover from serious injuries. How can it be so fast…”

Qiao Yanhui smiled. “So you don’t want to get out of bed anymore?”

“No, I’d better recuperate. I love lying in bed.” Xu Qing hurriedly shook her head, and the entire blanket trembled.

Qiao Yanhui smiled and said, “I’ll get the children to come in and talk to you later.”

Qiao Yanhui pulled open the blanket and saw that her entire body was flushed with bashfulness. It made his blood boil. After all, desire was the most direct expression of love for his beloved. However, he still suppressed it.

With that, Qiao Yanhui stood up and brought the children in. The three children were very obedient. They knew that their mother was injured, so they didn’t disturb Xu Qing for too long. Every time, they would chat with Xu Qing for a while and leave quietly after accompanying her to avoid affecting Xu Qing’s rest.

As Xu Qing looked at the three sensible children, her heart ached, especially when she found out that Xu Yuandeng was injured. Her heart ached even more. It seemed that she was too benevolent and made people think that she was a pushover! When she recovered, she would definitely make those people pay the price!

“Does it hurt?” Xu Qing touched Xu Yuandeng’s arm. Children’s skin was tender, so the wound looked even more terrifying. Xu Qing’s heart ached when she saw the wound. She had never said anything harsh to the three children ever since they were young, let alone hit them. However, someone had injured her child so severely!

Xu Yuandeng’s expression softened when he faced his mother and he comforted her. “It doesn’t hurt. I’m the older brother, so I have to protect my younger siblings.”

Xu Qing immediately shed tears of heartache. “I’m sorry, I didn’t protect you guys well… But don’t worry, this will never happen again!”

Xu Yuandeng reached out his chubby hand to wipe Xu Qing’s tears. “I’m a man, so I’ll protect you. Mom, don’t cry.”

Qiao Yanhui stood at the side and didn’t say anything, but his gaze was fierce. He wouldn’t let off anyone who hurt his wife and children. As for the person in the palace, he would spare his life for the time being. Killing him directly would be too easy on him! Qiao Yanhui looked at his wife and children as he said firmly, “Don’t worry, I will protect you guys.”

Looking at their father, the three children instantly felt safe and assured. They were children who had the protection of their father!

The next day, Lei Wangshu and Deng Chengxi also came to see her.

“You’re here!” Xu Qing could only lie down. Although she had the children to relieve her boredom, her husband to dote on her, and Xun Fen and Teng Nian to chat with her, she still hoped that more people would visit. After all, it was really too boring!

“We’ve wanted to come since long ago, but we were all stopped by your husband. Other than the Qiao family members, no one is allowed to enter. Now, the entire capital has realized how much the War God dotes on you, his wife,” Lei Wangshu and Deng Chengxi said as they sat in front of Xu Qing.

They were very envious of Xu Qing. It had nothing to do with Qiao Yanhui’s identity. Just having such an affectionate husband was enough to make many people envious! Since the two of them were quite hapless when it came to their love lives, they were even more touched!

“I heard that anyone who seemed suspicious this time has been dealt with by the War God.” Deng Chengxi had already let herself go, so she didn’t mind these sorts of things. Xu Qing was seriously injured, so she naturally had to say it to make Xu Qing happy.

Xu Qing had also guessed that Qiao Yanhui would take action, but she didn’t expect him to do it so quickly and without hesitation!

Xu Qing believed that after this incident, no matter who it was, they would have to think twice before attacking her and the children. Not to mention whether they could escape from her hands, with Qiao Yanhui around, they had to think twice about whether they could withstand the price of their families’ extermination.

Lei Wangshu also shared some news. “I heard that Mu Shan’s precious son, Mu Zhuoxian, was crippled. Not only is he unable to walk anymore… but he’s also unable to give birth! The Mu family won’t have any descendants in the future. Mu Shan complained to the Emperor. After all, the Mu family has been a noble family for generations. However, unexpectedly, the Emperor was attacked that day… Mu Shan was so frightened that he fainted on the spot. I heard that he was carried back to the Mu family’s home.”

Xu Qing could imagine the scene of Mu Shan fainting and laughed out loud.
