Picked Up A Husband For Farming-Chapter 316 - 316 You’ll Know When It’s Time

316 You’ll Know When It’s Time

Secret families have been in existence since ancient times, so ancient that no one knew when they started to exist or why they existed.

Xu Qing felt that only the past patriarchs knew the secret of secret families, and as for ordinary civilians, they probably had no way to know. Otherwise, they would have found out from Ji Jing and Liu Gexu and wouldn’t have had to look for Tang Wanzong.

The Huashan Temple was still burning with incense, but… Tang Wanzong had actually gone out to travel.

Qiao Yanhui’s expression instantly darkened, and the little monk who came to inform him was so frightened that he was about to cry.

!!

“Where did that old man go?” Qiao Yanhui said word by word.

“I don’t know…” The little monk was only eleven years old and was still a child. He had never seen such a murderous person before.

Xu Qing tugged at Qiao Yanhui’s sleeve and looked at the little monk gently as she asked, “Did Master Tang leave any words before he left?”

The little monk thought about it carefully and said, “He said that he planned to go into hiding, but he didn’t say where he would go…”

Xu Qing was a little exasperated. Why would he go into hiding? Was he hiding from Qiao Yanhui? But why? She continued to ask, “Think about it again. Didn’t he say anything else?”

The little monk racked his brains. In the end, he said, “I remember now. Master said that we should let nature take its course and we’ll find out when it’s time…”

Xu Qing said helplessly, “It seems like he’s deliberately avoiding us.” As for his message of letting nature take its course, Xu Qing really didn’t understand. Since they would find out sooner or later, why avoid them? However, no one could explain it to them now.

In the end, they could only go home.

When they returned to the Qiao family’s courtyard, Uncle Yu broke into tears. He had been missing them when he was all alone at home. Now that he saw them return, he was finally relieved. However, when he saw Ji Jing behind Qiao Yanhui, he was stunned. Then, he scolded, “Bastard, you finally came back!”

As Ji Jing looked at the aged Uncle Yu, he felt upset. “I’m back.” 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

As Uncle Yu held Ji Jing’s shoulder, he opened his mouth, but didn’t say anything. After all, which man could stand to see the person he liked marry someone else and give birth to their children? However, Ji Jing still helped her in every way possible. It was his dereliction as the head guard that caused her to die tragically.

As the group walked into the hall, Uncle Yu walked beside Qiao Yanhui and asked with concern, “Little Hui, has your poison been detoxed?”

Xu Qing stopped in her tracks, but she heard Qiao Yanhui say, “Yes.”

“That’s great!” Uncle Yu laughed heartily. He wished he could go to the palace now to capture Ao Heng and let Ao Heng see that Qiao Yanhui would never be harmed by him again.

As Xu Qing stood beside Qiao Yanhui, who was pursing his lips, she felt upset. In the end, she didn’t say anything. Uncle Yu was very old, so she understood that Qiao Yanhui didn’t want him to worry. She also believed that she could definitely treat Qiao Yanhui.

“Go back and rest for a while. When you wake up, I’ll make you something delicious.” Qiao Yanhui squeezed Xu Qing’s hand to stop her from worrying.

Xu Qing smiled. “You’ll cook?”

“Of course. Are you looking down on me? Just you wait.” Qiao Yanhui was very confident. He didn’t want Xu Qing to have regrets during the short time he had left.

Xu Qing didn’t know what he was thinking and went to sleep happily. On the way back, it had been difficult to rest well. When she woke up again, the sky was already dark. Hungry, she walked to the dining room. She saw a man with his back facing the dining table and there were four children beside him.

That man wasn’t Qiao Yanhui, but Ao Jie. When he received the news that Qiao Yanhui was back, he wanted to pick him up, but he was held back by Ao Heng and couldn’t leave. He finally had a chance to come over now.

In the past year, Ao Heng had been constantly developing his faction. If not for Qiao Yanhui’s backup plan, the consequences would have been unimaginable. That’s right, Ao Heng was still alive. It could be seen that secret families were really quite formidable.

“Get lost.” Qiao Yanhui looked at Ao Jie coldly.

However, Ao Jie pretended not to hear him. He had to be thick-skinned when facing Qiao Yanhui. Moreover, this was Qiao Yanhui’s first time cooking, so he had to try it no matter what.

As Xu Qing watched the two brothers interact, she smiled helplessly. Qiao Yanhui had a brother who cared about him, but the person connecting them…

“Little Hui, let him sit down.” Xu Qing suppressed her emotions and walked to the dining table.

Actually, Qiao Yanhui agreed to let Ao Jie stay, but he felt a little awkward, so he snorted at Ao Jie.

Ao Jie hurriedly sat down and ate.

Xu Qing was speechless. She hadn’t eaten yet!
