Xu Qing glared at Qiao Yanhui. How dare he laugh at her? Who would expect that a group of people would suddenly greet them in unison?

The entire Qiao family was shocked. Their general, who had never smiled before, actually knew how to smile after all? Moreover, what was with this comical scene? He was carrying a child in his left arm, another child in his right, and a child was riding on his neck. How could their cold-blooded and heartless War God appear so comical?

An old man in his sixties with white hair and a linen robe rushed to Xu Qing and said excitedly, “How wonderful. Little Hui actually knows how to smile now…”

Xu Qing was speechless. What was wrong with Qiao Yanhui smiling? It wasn’t like he had never smiled before. In the past, he smiled like a fool in front of her every day. What was wrong with them? Was there a need to be so shocked by just a smile?

“I’ll call you Xiao Qing in the future. Is that okay? You can call me Uncle Yu in the future.” Uncle Yu held Xu Qing’s hand with tears in his eyes. He looked extremely affectionate, as if he was looking at his daughter-in-law.

!!

“Hello, Uncle Yu,” Xu Qing greeted politely. However, why did the address ‘Uncle Yu’ sound so familiar? It seemed… It seemed that the reason Xiao Hui called her ‘wife’ was because of Uncle Yu! But Uncle Yu didn’t look like someone who would instigate Qiao Yanhui to take advantage of others? He seemed so dedicated and kind.

“Hello, Grandpa Yu,” Xu Hanxue and the other two greeted politely.

Uncle Yu immediately smiled brightly at the three children. Qiao Yanhui had children! Uncle Yu originally thought that Qiao Yanhui might not get married for the rest of his life, let alone have children. He didn’t care about carrying on the family line, but he was afraid that Qiao Yanhui would get lonely. After all, how many more years could he live at his age? How many more years could he accompany Qiao Yanhui? However, he didn’t expect that Qiao Yanhui actually already had three children. How impressive!

Xu Qing was definitely their general’s lucky star!

Among the three children, one of them had a cold expression on his face. He looked exactly the same as the general did when he was young!

Uncle Yu couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. If the eldest daughter was still alive, she would be overjoyed to see this scene. Her son had a wife who could make him happy, as well as three smart and adorable children! What a fulfilling life.

Seeing Uncle Yu’s happy expression, Qiao Yanhui’s eyes flickered with emotion. In the end, he said calmly, “Today, Madam, the two young masters, and the young madam have returned home, so everyone will be rewarded with three months’ worth of salary!”

Immediately, everyone was exhilarated. This was the first time the general had personally given out a reward. How exciting!

However, a discordant angry and mean voice sounded as a girl ran out angrily. “What right does a country bumpkin have to be the wife of a general and the madam of the Qiao family? Is she worthy enough to become my sister-in-law?”

Qiao Yanqi didn’t realize that after she finished speaking, Uncle Yu and Qiao Yanhui’s expressions changed. Qiao Yanqi continued shouting angrily, “Brother Hui, if you insist on marrying this woman, then I’ll sever ties with you!”

Qiao Yanqi’s attitude was firm. She didn’t believe that Qiao Yanhui would choose a woman over her. Otherwise, how would he explain himself to his dead mother and brother?!

Uncle Yu frowned as he said calmly, “That’s your sister-in-law. Don’t be rude. Apologize to your sister-in-law. The children are still here. Is what you said just now something a lady should say?”

However, Qiao Yanqi didn’t take Uncle Yu’s words seriously. She said arrogantly, “Is she worthy of an apology? I will never admit that she is my sister-in-law!”

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense. The courtyard was silent, and no one dared to breathe loudly.

Qiao Yanhui lowered his eyes slightly. It was impossible to tell if he was angry or not, but his intimidating aura made people feel a little terrified.

Qiao Yanqi felt afraid for a moment, but then she thought of how Qiao Yanhui had indulged and doted on her for so many years. She was certain that she was the special one in Qiao Yanhui’s heart. She felt emboldened with confidence and continue, “I’ll say it one last time. I’ll never acknowledge her. If you insist on marrying this woman, then you won’t have a sister anymore! I can’t coexist with this woman. If she marries into the family, I’ll leave!”
