2666 Investigate! Get to the Bottom of It!
“My two female servants have suffered quite a serious shock. You can compensate them as you see fit.” Qiao Mu waved her hand. “If there is nothing else, please.”
“Remember to burn this thing.” Qiao Mu’s eyes were brimming with icy mist as she stared straight at Mu Qingya and the others. “Don’t let it come back to life again.”
Mu Qingya shuddered all over. She knew that if another slip-up was to happen with this Xiao’xing, the young crown prince consort would definitely pin all the blame on her, the lady of the house.
She took a deep breath. “Qiaoqiao, don’t worry. I will personally watch them burn it.”
Qiao Mu nodded and turned to look at Mu Xingchen. “Is there anything else?”
Mu Xingchen felt a bit upset when he saw that she was still keeping him at arm’s length.
“Mother does not harbor evil intentions toward you. She sincerely wants to get along well with you. If you are willing to try and accept other people, you will discover that there are still many people in this world who want to be good to you!”
Qiao Mu swept him a sardonic glance. “Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you want me to remind you again? My mom died long ago!”
Mu Xingchen responded with silence.
“Scram!” Qiao Mu roared at him. Her apathetic gaze was like a knife that stabbed into Mu Xingchen’s heart with a swish.
His own sister actually loathed him so much…
A black figure climbed onto the roof. When he saw so many people in the courtyard, he automatically paused before subsequently bowing. “Reporting to the Crown Prince Consort, His Highness requests that you make a trip to the Qianyuan Audience Hall.”
Qiao Mu turned to look at that young man and responded with a nod, “Mhm.”
“Prepare the carriage!”
“Prepare a carriage for the crown prince consort, quickly!”
Mu Xingchen watched as his younger sister apathetically walked past him. His expression momentarily turned blank.
Mu Jingrui walked up and patted Mu Xingchen’s shoulder comfortingly.
On the other hand, Mu Qingya clutched her wrist with a death grip and shouted with seething anger, “Investigate the matter with Xiao’xing! Get to the bottom of it!”
“I would like to know who is playing tricks in secret! How dare they do this in front of the crown prince consort!”
“Madam,” Conglu called out grievously.
“Shut up, where are your manners. I have indulged you all too much normally, encouraging such impudence in front of the crown prince consort. Copy the clan rules 100 times after you get back, and half a month’s stipend will be deducted! If there continues to be such impudence in the future, I definitely won’t let you off lightly!”
Conglu wept while retreating.
However, Mu Qingya’s remnant anger had yet to dissipate. She pressed her hand against her chest, feeling a bit dizzy.
Mu Xingchen reached out to support her, but the word “Mother” suddenly got stuck in his throat.
When he recalled how his younger sister looked at him just now like he was an enemy, he couldn’t bring himself to call her “Mother.”
Qiao Mu left behind a disturbance in her court and rode a carriage to the imperial palace.
She got guided inside without any hindrance and arrived at the Qianyuan Audience Hall.
The sun was shining brightly at this time.
The entire hall was enveloped by sunlight.
The ceilings were gold, the door was vermilion, and the long windows looked like coral.
The sweeping eaves gave off an imposing air.
With the announcement of her arrival, Qiao Mu pattered inside with strong and vigorous steps.
The old censors who had seen the young crown prince consort before maintained calm and collected expressions, but the other officials couldn’t resist stealing glances at her.
This was the young crown prince consort who had beaten up the shrine’s Holy Daughter so badly that even her own mother wouldn’t recognize her!
The crown prince’s eyes involuntarily lit up when he saw that his wife had come.
Everyone inexplicably felt like they were bathing in a spring breeze. The low pressure that had been pressing down on them just now suddenly vanished in the blink of an eye!
Wasn’t this too exaggerated!
