As for the others, needless to say, their expressions were all very unpleasant. This time, they really became laughing stocks.
Xu Hanxue patted her chubby hands happily. Hmph, it was their fault for bullying her mother! These people didn’t know her mother’s talent at all!
Ao Li’er’s opinion of Xu Qing also changed a lot. She believed that Xu Qing wasn’t a cocky person! On the contrary, Xu Qing was very smart and talented! Moreover, with her graceful bearing, she couldn’t be such a petty and immoral person! She should believe in Qiao Yanhui’s judgment. This was a woman Qiao Yanhui had taken a fancy to. How could she be bad? Qiao Yanhui was very picky.
Because of Xu Qing’s outstanding performance, no one was interested in continuing the poetry competition. After all, there was no point in continuing. The poems they had prepared in advance couldn’t be compared to any of Xu Qing’s poems. Why should they embarrass themselves? They were trying to embarrass Xu Qing today, not themselves.
“Since everyone is so high-spirited today and had so much fun playing the game, I’ll choose a game to play too. Let’s have fun together. What do you all think?” When Xu Qing saw everyone’s dejected expressions, she smiled.
Qiao Yanqi was so angry that she almost flew into a rage. When she heard Xu Qing say that she wanted to play games, she couldn’t hold back her anger anymore and mocked, “You’re just a woman from the countryside. What do you know about games? The people who came today are all rich ladies and noblewomen. Who would lower herself to your level?”
“Little Qi, shut up!” Ao Li’er shouted coldly. Was Qiao Yanqi crazy? How could she say such things so casually? Food was the most important thing for the people. As a princess of the royal family, Qiao Yanqi should set an example. How could she despise farmers? Everyone present was a dignitary of the capital. If word got out that Qiao Yanqi spoke like this, how could she get married in the future? She wasn’t young anymore to begin with, and there were rumors that she had jinxed her fiances. If she continued to cause trouble, what would happen in the future?
“Little Qi is right. I’m indeed just a country bumpkin. So let’s play a countryside game. I wonder if anyone dares to play it?” Xu Qing looked at everyone provocatively.
The women sitting here were all prideful. Although they didn’t want to play countryside games, they didn’t want to be looked down on by a countryside woman either!
Jin Zhi and Sun Mi immediately said, “Sister-in-law, please tell us what game we’re playing.”
“This game is actually very simple. It’s to kick shuttlecocks.” Xu Qing smiled.
Actually, kicking shuttlecocks was an easy game. Rich people felt that it was unsophisticated and rarely played it, but it didn’t mean that they didn’t know how to play it.
“That’s it?” Qiao Yanqi was very good at kicking shuttlecocks. She could usually kick more than a hundred of them in a row, so she immediately agreed.
Jin Zhi and Sun Mi couldn’t refuse at this time, so they agreed.
However, not many people could participate in the game, because they were taking turns playing this time. In the end, more than ten people were chosen to participate. Actually, Xu Qing didn’t care how many people could participate, as long as the people she wanted to teach a lesson were included!
Ao Li’er looked at Xu Qing with a meaningful look in her eyes. She could tell that Xu Qing was very smart. She wasn’t a reckless and foolish person. She dealt with provocations calmly and counterattacked appropriately!
Xu Qing had a smug smile on her face. Xu Hanxue was looking forward to her mother’s next show excitedly.
As Xu Qing threw the shuttlecock, everyone moved. Xu Qing kicked the shuttlecock away and the shuttlecock happened to smash into Jin Zhi’s face. Jin Zhi couldn’t react in time. When the shuttlecock landed, Xu Qing dodged again and kicked the shuttlecock away. She even made Jin Zhi fall.
“Ah!” Jin Zhi exclaimed. Her butt and hands hurt. After all, she was fragile and weak. When had she ever been injured like this? However, she couldn’t quit just like that. She didn’t want to be the first to quit the game! How embarrassing. Therefore, she immediately stood up and joined the game again without caring that her clothes were dirty.
At this moment, the shuttlecock had already been caught by Qiao Yanqi. As she looked at Qiao Yanqi’s swift figure, Xu Qing’s eyes flashed. Qiao Yanqi had some martial arts foundation! However, this was understandable. The Qiao family had a precarious status, so the Qiao siblings must have the ability to protect themselves.
Xu Qing and Qiao Yanqi exchanged moves very smoothly, but anyone could sense the killing intent between the two of them.
The group of people started chasing it around again, but anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Xu Qing was taking revenge!
