2606 Let Them Cry
Qiao Mu strolled around Changle Boulevard and bought some random snacks. When she returned to Lesheng Gate, the crown prince galloped out on a horse.
The little fellow hastily stuck her head out from the carriage and waved at him. “Lian!”
Mo Lian had seen her carriage. He quickly flipped off his horse and strode over, hopping into the carriage.
“Where did you run off to?” Crown Prince Mo scooped her up unhappily and rubbed her head.
His old man had called him over to lecture him. When he finally extricated himself and returned to the Eastern Palace, he discovered that his wife had disappeared.
The crown prince was terribly suspicious, promptly thinking of Spring Abounding Parlor’s rainbow flowers.
He felt that the little lady must have gone to visit that vessel market out of curiosity.
After all, the little lady had shown a bit of interest that night, no?
“Where did you go? Qiaoqiao.”
“To collect debt!” Qiao Mu pulled out a list of items from her sleeve. She shook it open for him to peruse. “Look, this is the compensation I demanded from the Mu Clan. I told them to prepare it by nightfall.”
Mo Lian’s mouth kept twitching as he looked through the list.
Look at this list. There were pills, spiritual tools, and everything one could wish for. Qiao Mu even extorted a batch of talismans from them.
Actually, she did not lack these items at all. What she wanted was to make the Mu Clan bleed…
“Reward Huifeng, Tung, and the others once these are brought back. They have been working quite hard recently!”
Mo Lian couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He nodded and said, “Okay.”
Whatever Qiaoqiao said was okay. Huifeng and them would probably be in high spirits for several days after getting rewarded with these resources.
After all, just those pills used for cultivation were enough to last them a while.
“We are supporting many people. After distributing this compensation from the Mu Clan, each person won’t end up with a lot!” Qiao Mu said earnestly, “We have to earn more compensation.”
Mo Lian nearly died from laughter. He nodded at her words, “Mhm, Qiaoqiao is truly smart.”
A certain person concurred with a nod. She also felt that she used this method of gaining something without risking anything quite well.
“Qiaoqiao.” Mo Lian reached out to hug her. “Since we’re already outside, should we go out to eat dinner?”
“Sure. I heard that your imperial capital has a famous restaurant called Butterfly Pavilion. Should we go try it?”
“Okay.” Mo Lian squeezed her petite hand. He had the carriage driver make a U-turn toward the Butterfly Pavilion.
Qiao Mu got quite excited when talking about food.
Food was an indispensable part of life!
She just didn’t know whether that famous restaurant that caused a stir in the imperial capital served food that matched up to its name.
When the two of them arrived at Butterfly Pavilion, they saw a long line extending from the front of the restaurant.
The little fellow alighted the carriage in curiosity. She looked around and then walked toward the entrance while holding Mo Lian’s hand.
There was a small reception desk at the entrance to the Butterfly Pavilion. There were two smiling women standing in front. They asked with a bow, “How many guests?”
“Two people!”
“You will have to wait. Please take a number and then sit over there for some refreshments.”
The little lady was curious. “You have such good business?” These people couldn’t all be shills right!?
It wasn’t even time for lunch yet, yet there was already such a long line?
Looking at the neighboring restaurants, none of them had such good business.
This was simply too peculiar.
The hostess explained with a smile, “Our Butterfly Pavilion is very different from other restaurants.”
