Hubby, Your Fox Fairy Wants Everything

Chapter 15 The Battered-Body Trick (Part 2)

You Hu took his daughter to come towards them. But this girl called Qingcheng was too flushed by shyness to look at Xu Linghe. Seeing his daughter so timid, You Hu said nothing more and was quite favorably impressed with Di Qing. After all, Di Qing was a descendant of Di Zhan, and his moral standing was not bad accordingly. It was clear that You Hu showed a preference for Di Qing. A chilly look flashed in Xu Yinchang's eyes while Xu Linghe felt secretly delighted, because Xu Linghe thought that the "hot potato" had been shifted and taken finally. However, the eldest brother and the second elder brother of Xu's looked sad with hidden bitterness, showing more jealousy to their youngest brother's match. The second elder brother took a glance at You's daughter and felt much more reluctant at the thought that he was not Mr. right for his loved girl.

"Elder brother, as for the things I mentioned to you last time, could you do me a favor? I have to marry You's daughter. No matter what father thinks, I will marry You Qingcheng."

"My second younger brother, Miss Han is also lovely. If I were you, I would prefer to choose her. Look at her small chewing mouth, so cute. What's more, the Han family is the wealthiest in the south. It is so tempting."

A gust of wind blew out all the lanterns in a flash. In the darkness, a beam of spirit light dashed towards the imperial court, and Di Qing on the soft couch fell to the ground silently. Xu Linghe followed and darted up to the light. But the figure twisted and turned to avoid being caught and then disappeared suddenly. In the candlelight, blood gushed from Di Qing's mouth and he gazed at Holy Mother Empress in the imperial court, too desperate to say a word. Holy Mother Empress never expected that it was her grandson who got injured, and then staggered toward him. Di Li had never thought that her brother would suffer such an unexpected misfortune and was choked with sobs with her brother in her arms. Holy Mother Empress could not hold back her tears, thinking that before her grandson would marry a girl, he would... At the thought, Holy Mother Empress wept more bitterly. How miserable the dead Di Zhan was! Did it mean the Di family would end up without offspring?

"My grandson, wake up! I haven't had a chance to hold a great-grandson. Who do you like? I will call the shots for you. No matter who she is, I will have her to marry you."

"Grandma, I have been hurt like this and do not want to ruin other girls."

With those words, Di Qing spat out blood again, which made Holy Mother Empress feel more miserable for her grandson. She was afraid that her grandson would not survive this time.

"My grandson, whose girl do you like?"

"Grandma, the youngest daughter of Assistant Minister You's, You Qingcheng."

"Agreed! I will decide for you and send betrothal gifts to the You family now."

Xu Linghe understood that Di Qing was playing the battered-body trick. It seemed that people from the imperial family were born actors. Convinced! Looking at the blood on the corner of Di Qing's mouth, Xu Linghe wondered what blood this guy used to dye.

"Emperor, send a decree to the You family now! To accomplish the match for Qing'er. He is dying."

Holy Mother Empress was quite impatient with her superior son. And Xu Linghe became worried about Di Qing. As for what had happened, any observant person was able to figure it out in a breeze. He wished that the Emperor would not see through it.

"Mother, Let me have a look."

Xu Linghe thought something terrible would happen, because the Emperor could not tolerate any cheat. Such little trick would be contrived merely to make matters worse. Watching the Emperor approaching closer, Xu Linghe got nervous for Di Qing.
