Picked Up A Husband For Farming - Chapter 368

368 Disciplinary Failure
Xu Sizhi was still unconscious. Although Xu Qing saved him in time, Xu Sizhi had still lost too much blood. Coupled with the fact that his body had been ravaged by Gu poison, if not for Xu Qing’s powerful medical skills, he would have died.

“Brother Sizhi.” With the huge commotion, it was impossible for Xu Xiang not to know about what happened here. She rushed towards Xu Sizhi’s bed and cried.

“Little Xiang…” Xu Qing wanted to say something, but her voice was drowned out by Xu Xiang’s deafening cries.

“Brother Sizhi, what will happen to me if you die? I’m going to be a widow. Can you bear to…” Xu Xiang said a lot.

Xu Qing was speechless. Widow? Xu Xiang was still young, so how did she know so much? Xu Qing felt amused.

!!
When the Xu family members who came later heard Xu Xiang’s passionate confession, they were furious. After all, which parent could tolerate their eight-year-old daughter telling a man she didn’t want to be a widow?!

“Ahem…” Xu Qing coughed to remind her.

However, Xu Xiang was still hugging Xu Sizhi and crying. She didn’t notice the abnormality around her at all.

“Little Xiang, Father and Mother are here.” Xu Qing pulled Xu Xiang up helplessly.

Only then did Xu Xiang come back to her senses. She turned around and looked at her family members, who had ugly expressions. She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

“Little Xiang, how can you come to a man’s room in the middle of the night. How unseemly. Go back quickly!” Qu Feng reprimanded with a straight face. Although she treated Xu Sizhi as her son, he wasn’t related to her daughter by blood after all. Moreover, Xu Sizhi was a guy much older than Little Xiang.

Xu Xiang said unhappily, “He’s my future husband. What does it matter?!” Xu Xiang was still choking on sobs. Clearly, she was still worried about the unconscious Xu Sizhi.

“You… you’re so young. How can you be so shameless? Is this something a little girl can say? If word gets out, how will others judge you?” Qu Feng glared at her. Although her youngest daughter was usually very bold, she didn’t expect her to say such shameless words. People had always been gossiping about Xu Qing’s identity. If Xu Qing’s sister made inappropriate comments, people might jump on the opportunity to ue the incident of Xu Qing getting pregnant out of wedlock to criticize Xu Qing… Qu Feng didn’t dare to think about what would happen after that. Life was already very difficult for her eldest daughter, but her youngest daughter was still so insensible. It was her fault for not disciplining her daughter properly!

Xu Xiang didn’t think much of it at all. She pouted indignantly as she looked at Xu Qing aggrievedly. She was going to marry Brother Sizhi anyway, so why would she be afraid of others talking about it?

“Mother, Little Xiang is just too worried about Sizhi. Don’t worry, Sizhi will be fine. He’ll wake up tomorrow,” Xu Qing said helplessly.

Hearing that Xu Qing was certain that Xu Sizhi would be fine, everyone felt relieved. However, everyone still looked at Xu Qing worriedly. “Little Qing, if it weren’t for Sizhi helping you just now, wouldn’t you have been in danger?” Qu Feng asked nervously.

When Qu Feng asked this, everyone looked at Xu Qing nervously.

Xu Qing shook her head and said, “Don’t worry, that person can’t hurt me.” However, Xu Qing still had lingering fear because that person was able to sneak into the Qiao family’s house silently. His martial arts skills were very powerful. Moreover, this person was proficient in Gu poison, so her poison might not be able to cause him any substantial harm.

Ting’er and Xue’er sensed Xu Qing’s worries and ran over to hug her thigh. “Mom, we’ll be sleeping with you tonight.”

“Alright.” Xu Qing patted the two children’s heads. If that person wanted to abduct her two children, it wouldn’t be difficult, so she had to accompany the two children, but the Qiao family’s home also needed to increase security measures. As for Gu poison… she was confident that she could create an antidote for it.

The next day, Ting’er and Xue’er woke up at the same time as Xu Qing.

“It’s still early. Go back to sleep,” Xu Qing said gently.

Xue’er was very sleepy, so she lay back down and fell asleep again.

Ting’er rubbed his eyes and propped himself up as he said, “I’m not sleeping anymore. I still have to train.” Ting’er hadn’t forgotten what his brother had said before he left. He had to become stronger.

After Xu Qing patted Ting’er’s little head dotingly, she went to prepare breakfast for the children. After she was done, she rushed into the pharmacy. There were already many books about Gu worms piled up on the desk. As Xu Qing studied them, she marveled at the brilliance of Gu worms. If used properly, thousands of soldiers and horses could instantly become the puppets of the Gu user!
