Chapter 555: Internal Strife
The crown prince consort had already gotten famous among all levels of Northern Mo society before even making an appearance!
The talisman patrician family.
Mu Qianqian had flown into a terrible rage inside her room, smashing everything that she could into smithereens.
When Madam Mu entered and saw the mess on the ground, her brows knitted in intense heartache.
Due to the current circumstances, they could only use grains to replace the items that got smashed. However, the family couldn’t afford having her daughter squander their surplus grain like this.
Hence, each piece smashed meant one piece less. If this continued, then this Miss Mu’s room was immediately about to be stripped bare.
“Alright, what can you do by throwing a tantrum.” Madam Mu snapped. “You’re just making a scene for the second and third branches to laugh at.”
“Who dares to laugh at me?” Mu Qianqian arched her eyebrows in anger, her resentfulness undisguised. “What Marquis of Jiayuan’s Estate, I’ve never even heard of it before! Who knows where this little b*tch came from, stealing away the man’s soul! Really, what a shameless b*tch!”
“My! Listen to what Eldest Miss is saying! The other party is the crown prince consort formally ordained by the king himself! It’s nothing much if Eldest Miss says this at home! But if word were to get outside, it would be undeniable that the young ladies nurtured by our Mu Family lack discipline and only know how to spout obscenities! It’s fine if you, Eldest Miss, don’t know shame, but don’t drag the many unmarried young ladies in the estate along with you to lose face too.” A middle-aged woman dressed in extravagant clothing chortled as she walked inside. She was followed by a young girl, about the same age as Mu Qianqian, who was covering her mouth in a snicker.
Upon seeing this woman, Madam Mu was filled with anger, and she yelled at the maidservants. “Are you all dead? You don’t know to announce that the second branch’s missus has come?”
“Oh my my my my, Eldest Sister-in-Law, don’t recklessly blame the servants. Our arrival was announced! It’s just that Eldest Miss’s, mhm, hissy fit and smashing sounds blotted out the announcement. You must not say that our second branch doesn’t know etiquette.”
Her sister-in-law’s sardonic words were so acerbic that Madam Mu felt her stomach hurting, and she waved her hand in irritation. “Alright, alright. Madam née Liu, who doesn’t know that you came here today to witness our eldest branch’s joke. Since you’ve already seen it, you can go now. This madam won’t send you off!”
“Aiyo, listen to Sister-in-Law’s words, I didn’t come to witness a joke.” Second Branch’s Madam née Liu pulled over her own daughter Mu Zhilan with a chortle. “I just wanted to tell Sister-in-Law that Her Majesty the Queen is hosting a palace banquet tomorrow and has invited the three dukes and five marquis! Oh my, that’s not right. My mouth really doesn’t know how to speak.”
Madam née Liu giggled as she lightly slapped her own mouth. “It should be the six marquis’s estates now. The three dukes’, six marquis’, and all the large patrician families’ misses will be attending the banquet at that time. Our family’s Eldest Miss naturally would be unwilling to shirk this responsibility, but it couldn’t be helped that Eldest Miss’s mood is poor! I feared that this would muck up the entire banquet, Sister-in-Law, so I took it upon myself to mention this to the family head. Family Head agreed for our Zhilan to attend the banquet tomorrow in Eldest Miss’s stead.”
“I really am sorry, Eldest Sister.” Mu Zhilan giggled softly.
Mu Qianqian couldn’t suppress the rage that flared up at that instant, and she immediately chucked a bright-yellow-colored talisman at Mu Zhilan! “B*tches, you’re all b*tches!”
Mu Zhilan’s eyes narrowed slightly. She wasn’t someone to be trifled with either.
She also threw out a talisman with a flick of her fingers, and the talismans collided in mid-air before they both burst apart.
