Chapter 393 – 393 Old Witch

393 Old Witch

When Xu Qing saw Ao Jie’s attitude, she was speechless. She realized that Ao Jie was becoming cockier and cockier. She didn’t know if it was because of his other personality, or perhaps this was Ao Jie’s true nature? It seemed like she had to quickly find a woman to discipline Ao Jie.

Soon, the welcome banquet began. However, no matter how lively it was, it couldn’t hide the oppressive atmosphere.

Ao Jie felt a little bored, so he waved at Xue’er, who was beside Xu Qing. After Xue’er ran to Ao Jie, Ao Jie picked Xue’er up and peeled a grape for her. The two of them ate with relish.

However, this scene had different meanings to different people. On the one hand, they felt that the new emperor planned to adopt a daughter. Ao Jie didn’t plan to have children of his own? Or was he using Qiao Yanhui’s children as shields?

Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing remained calm and continued to chat with each other.

The Ji family narrowed their eyes as they tried to guess what Ao Jie was thinking!

To Ji Yueyue, be it Qiao Yanhui or Ao Jie, they were too perfect. She wanted all the power in their hands.

Xue’er looked at Ao Jie adorably as she asked, “Uncle, why does everyone want to sit on the dragon throne?”

Ao Jie touched Xue’er’s little head and smirked as he said, “It’s because the dragon throne is made of gold. Those people are too short of money, so they’re fighting to sit on it.”

This explanation made Xu Qing smile. Ao Jie actually said that those people who fought tooth and nail for the throne were short of money! Ao Jie was really…

Those who heard Ao Jie’s answer couldn’t help but feel exasperated. How could they be fighting for the throne because they were poor?!

“Oh… Then I can reward them generously. Even if it’s not enough for them to live lavishly every day, it’s enough for them to start from scratch. My mother started from scratch, and now, she has been earning more and more money. Therefore, I feel that those people are just slackers. They want to earn money without working. If they really want to get money easily, they might as well be beggars on the streets.” Xue’er glanced at everyone with disdain and contempt!

However, Xue’er was a naive child after all. What those people really wanted was real power. Therefore, Xue’er’s words were a form of mockery to them.

Ji Yueyue glared at Xue’er fiercely and immediately said, “Princess, are you mocking us?!”

Xue’er tilted her head as she said, “I’m just talking about those people who covet the dragon throne. Old witch, how am I mocking you guys?”

“What is an old witch?” Ao Jie interrupted.

“An old witch is someone who’s old and ugly. She’s evil-hearted and stares at little children with her poisonous eyes! How scary!” Xue’er even pretended to tremble.

“That’s true! An old witch should have her eyes gouged out and be hanged!” Ao Jie laughed.

Furious, Ji Yueyue slammed the table and stood up. “This is the behavior of your country’s princess?!”

“Saintess, watch your mouth. Did my daughter say something wrong? Or do you think you’re that beggar and old witch she’s talking about?!” Xu Qing said coldly.

“How dare you! How can I be?!” Ji Yueyue shouted.

“Since you’re not, how can you slander the princess?!” Xu Qing’s voice carried a hint of intimidation.

“I…” Before Ji Yueyue could finish speaking, her entire face was distorted by an invisible force.

Ji Yueyue stared ahead in a daze, then she covered her swollen face with a furious expression. “Who is it?! How dare you hit me?!”

The elders beside Ji Yueyue also had angry expressions. This was simply a slap in their faces. The Ancient Kingdom was really too much!

“Since you’re being rude, I slapped you!” Qiao Yanhui’s words made Ji Yueyue and the others tremble in fright. Since Qiao Yanhui could use his internal energy to slap Ji Yueyue easily, didn’t that mean he could kill them just as easily?

When they thought of this, their expressions changed. However, when they thought of the grievances they had suffered in the Ancient Kingdom, they couldn’t take it lying down!

“Qiao Yanhui, do you really want to become enemies with the Ji family? Don’t forget that you’re also a member of the Ji family. My fiancé…” Before Ji Yueyue could finish speaking, she was slapped by Qiao Yanhui again. She couldn’t even speak clearly anymore.

Xu Qing sneered as she said, “Ji Yueyue, don’t you dare covet my man. If you anger me, I’ll wipe out the Ji Clan!”
