Just as Qiao Qing thoughtfully exclaimed, Quan Zexi reached out and patted her head, “Your grandpa is right. Even if you were the murderer, I will find a way to protect you. But I know that you weren’t the one who killed him.”
Qiao Qing was surprised to hear that, “How do you know that?”
“Through deduction,” Quan Yexuan said, “I am a genius, you know!”
Qiao Qing, “…”
Everyone else, “…”
“Stop chatting and standing around!” Quan Yeqing said, “Since you know Qingqing didn’t kill the guy, go out there and deal with it! You should shut the internet up!”
“There’s no need to go now,” Qiao Qing said, “Let’s eat first.”
Everyone else, “…”
Qiao Qing, “Leave her for me to deal with.”
The cold look in her eyes made everyone at the scene shudder.
Quan Yeqing and Quan Zexi exchanged glances. They had many thoughts about today’s events.
This breakfast meal hosted the most people the Quan family’s ever seen. However, since the outside world was looking for Qiao Qing and Jun Yexuan, nobody could eat in peace. Only Qiao Qing was calm.
Qi Yusen worriedly looked over to Qiao Qing, “Qingqing, how do you plan on dealing with Xia Houshang?”
The more time they spent together, the more he realized that his sister was a genius.
He will never think that Jun Yexuan is good enough for her. But even himself, who was once a proud person, felt ashamed in front of her.
He couldn’t fully understand her.
Qiao Qing bit into her buttered toast, “You’ll find out when the time is right.”
The group finished their meal and returned to the living room. There, Wan Kaiyi walked inside in a hurry.
Towards Quan Zexi, he huffed and puffed, “Duke, there are citizens outside marching and protesting. They are demanding that Ms. Qiao and third young master Jun leave the country.”
He Wanqing was at once anxious and uncontrollably sought comfort from Quan Zexi, “What do we do?”
“I told you I can handle it.” Qiao Qing patted He Wanqing’s head, “Mom, there’s no need to worry.”
He Wanqing’s anxious heart lightened up a little. She suddenly realized that her daughter had grown up.
Mu Jinghang shook his head, “This group of people is acting like they’re a team. What they really want though are things that can offer them benefits.”
Quan Zexi said, “Everyone wants to live in a safe country with powerful backing. It’s not wrong for them to think of their own safety first. The only bad person here is that woman! She was the one who killed her own dad and now she’s trying to frame Qingqing!”
Qiao Qing raised an eyebrow, “You know about that?”
Quan Zexi was proud to admit, “Of course. Don’t you understand the art of deduction?”
Everyone at the scene, “…”
He made it so clear that he was a genius.
The clash of two people with high IQ left no room for others to speak.
“But, daughter,” Quan Zexi said to Qiao Qing, “Are you sure you have a solution to this problem? You don’t need me there?”
Qiao Qing nodded.
Quan Zexi said, “I still want to go with you regardless. Or else I’ll worry.”
“You can do what you want” Qiao Qing eyed her wristwatch and headed upstairs, “Do whatever you normally do.”
Everyone at the scene, “…”
So the emperor was not in a hurry but the eunuch was.
Back inside her room, Qiao Qing was about to make a call when Jun Yexuan walked in and hugged her from behind, “I just want to ask you one thing – is it going to be dangerous?”
Qiao Qing froze for a second before she smiled, “Not at all.”
“Good..” Jun Yexuan’s arms tightened around her, “Did you know that by acting so capable, you make me appear useless.”
