“Deng Jiangming’s other identity is a concealed weapon master. In the past, Deng Jiangming met a girl. However, he would make concealed weapons overnight whenever he had an inspiration. That girl was often neglected because of this, and she was understanding at first. However, when they were preparing to get married, Deng Jiangming missed the time because he was studying a concealed weapon. After Deng Jiangming finished studying it, the girl disappeared. Deng Jiangming searched for her for a long time, but he couldn’t find her. From then on, Deng Jiangming was no longer so crazy about making concealed weapons, but it was too late. He only started to cherish her after he lost her.” Qiao Yanhui felt that Deng Jiangming deserved it.

“I’m guessing that that girl either forgot about Deng Jiangming and is already married, or she still has feelings for him and is living in seclusion. Only in this way can she avoid attention,” Xu Qing guessed. As for why she didn’t look for Deng Jiangming, she was probably disappointed in him.

“That’s my guess too. If she really wants to hide, she has the ability to.” Although Qiao Yanhui felt that Deng Jiangming deserved it, it wasn’t that he didn’t help. There was still no news of her.

“If that girl still has feelings for Deng Jiangming, I should be able to find her,” Xu Qing suddenly said mysteriously. Qiao Yanhui and the others couldn’t find her because they thought of women from a man’s perspective, so they couldn’t find her no matter how hard they tried!

Qiao Yanhui didn’t doubt Xu Qing’s words at all. Only women understood women the best! However, this matter still needed to be investigated. If that girl was already married, why bother?

Xu Qing didn’t say anything. She wanted to see how long Deng Jiangming could hold it in. She didn’t want to wait until he was an old bachelor! Of course, Xu Qing didn’t say anything. She was actually more worried about Ao Jie now.

“Ao Jie is old enough, so we have to find him someone compatible for him.” Ever since Lin Shu died, Ao Jie had dismissed all the women in the harem. This had been opposed by the court officials, but the current Ao Jie was no longer the Ao Jie of the past.

In the end, the ministers had no choice but to agree to Ao Jie’s dismissal of the harem. However, they started recommending their own daughters to consolidate their power!

However, how could Ao Jie accept this and cause trouble for himself again? He immediately announced to the world that be it now or in the future, he would only have one empress!

This time, the entire Ancient Kingdom was shocked. The courtiers also knew that they couldn’t change Ao Jie’s mind, so everyone tried to think of a way to let their daughters and Ao Jie meet. Therefore, Ao Jie had had a lot of admirers recently, so much so that Ao Jie was a little angry.

Qiao Yanhui was very helpless about Xu Qing. He realized that Xu Qing loved playing matchmaker. After matchmaking a couple, she started matchmaking another couple! However, Ao Jie was indeed not young anymore.

“I couldn’t tell that Ao Jie was so devoted, but he didn’t think about it how there’s no one by his side now, so who is this promise for?” Xu Qing suddenly laughed.

“You mean your husband isn’t devoted?” Qiao Yanhui had a playful expression. How dare she praise another man?

Xu Qing was speechless. But no matter what, Ao Jie’s marriage was Xu Qing’s priority.

Xu Qing had been staying at home these past few days. Perhaps it was because of this that Ji Yueyue didn’t appear. The Qiao family wasn’t a place Ji Yueyue could barge in at will! However, this was inexcusable. There was no reason for them to keep guard 24/7.

Soon, Ji Yueyue appeared. However, she appeared on behalf of the Ji family.

Historically, secret families had to be treated as esteemed guests by the royal family. Otherwise, that country would suffer heavy suppression. This had been recorded in history.

Qiao Yanhui and the others had yet to figure out the Ji family’s background, so when the Ji family arrived, the royal family held a banquet!

In the hall, Ao Jie was still sitting on the throne in a leisurely manner, but the court officials were sitting in their seats with trepidation because they wanted to bow to the Ji family, but they were stopped by Ao Jie. The emperor wasn’t afraid of the Ji family, but they were.

The Ji Clan’s elder had an angry expression. The last time they came, they weren’t received and were even beaten up once. At that time, they could dismiss it with the excuse that Ao Jie was young, frivolous, and insensible. But when they came again, Ao Jie actually looked down on them with such contempt. This was intolerable! It was because the Ji Clan had been in seclusion for too long that the royal family didn’t take them seriously! At the thought of this, the three Ji Clan’s elders released dense internal energy to suppress the entire crowd!

Some people who didn’t have internal energy couldn’t help but vomit blood. Those who had internal energy were so shocked that their faces became extremely pale! How powerful must one’s internal energy be to affect everyone in the hall?!
