2679 Powerless to Do Anything
Mo Lian lowered his head and kissed her fair and tender face. “It’s fine, Hubby doesn’t disdain you.”
Bah, Qiaoqiao disdains you!
Lady Qiaoqiao swept him a glance and harrumphed.
Mo Lian let go of her in amusement. She hopped off the bed before hastily running over to wash up.
After half an hour, the two of them were happily and excitedly holding hands as they prepared to leave.
And then…
Mu Xingchen, this super-large candle[1], suddenly popped out in front of them.
“What did you come for???” His Highness the Crown Prince stared at this brother-in-law with displeasure.
Could you be a bit more discerning?
Could he not disturb their private time as a couple?
“I’m going with you both.” Mu Xingchen declared resolutely, not giving Crown Prince Mo any leeway to refuse.
The Crown Prince was simply stupefied.
He suddenly had a very bad premonition!
This brother-in-law couldn’t have popped out to “fight” this crown prince for Qiaoqiao’s attention, right!
From the looks of it, this development wasn’t headed in the right direction.
Crown Prince Mo’s handsome face was taut as he said indifferently, “The carriage isn’t big, so you won’t fit.”
You won’t come if you’re freakin’ tactful!
“It’s fine, I’ll just follow your carriage.”
Crown Prince Mo: !
Qiao Mu was expressionless. She didn’t look at the two men’s childish confrontation and directly strode out the door. She shouted with her petite stoic face, “Hurry up!”
Caixiu lowered her head. A smile inexplicably tugged at the corner of her mouth as she hastily skipped out after the young crown prince consort.
Caiqi was even more jubilant. It wasn’t easy for them to have a chance to go out, yet the young crown prince consort was still willing to bring them along. She was simply so happy that she wanted to fly.
The two of them had truly received a lot of compensation from Madam Mu yesterday for their scare. Their admiration for the young crown prince consort truly flowed unceasingly like a surging river.
The couple boarded the carriage and lifted the curtain to take a look. As expected, Mu Xingchen had mounted a mystic horse and was following them.
Caixiu, Caiqi, and the rest of the entourage were all in another carriage behind them.
Two carriages as well as several mystic horses exited the Mu Estate’s main door and headed for Changle Boulevard.
Mo Lian seemed to sense something, and he lifted a corner of the curtain with his finger. He looked coldly at the corner of the street before lowering the curtain again.
A hunchbacked man suddenly walked out from the corner of the street. His entire body was cold, and his forehead was drenched in cold sweat.
That gaze from earlier was abnormally penetrating.
He felt like he was seen through at once.
That person took a deep breath and turned to look at Qiao Yingchun, whose eyes were wide open and filled with hatred. He slapped Qiao Yingchun’s face without any hesitation.
“B*tch, are you trying to make trouble for our Vessel Market?”
“What relation can a lowly servant like you have with a large patrician family like the Mu Clan?”
“It’s true, it’s true!” Qiao Yingchun’s heart jolted. She knew that this hunchbacked old man was already suspicious.
But she just couldn’t stand the fact that Qiao Mu could live an easy and carefree life.
She was already in such a miserable state, yet why could the culprit behind it all live so unconstrainedly?
Even if she had to risk her last breath, she was going to drag her down from above. It would be best if she ended up like her, falling down into a heap of mud.
But was that possible?
Qiao Yingchun felt particularly powerless and panicked right now. With her identity, she couldn’t even approach Qiao Mu!
“Go back with me!” The old man wasn’t a fool. He could see many things from Qiao Yingchun’s eyes, and he became even more suspicious of her.
This woman probably couldn’t retaliate against the other party, so she was thinking of dragging their Vessel Market into the mix!
