Chapter 1021: Departure

fr(e)ewebn(o)vel

“Alright then.” Wu Xiao’en had a smile on his chubby face. “You can contact me again when you get back. Sixth Young Sir, don’t treat me as an outsider!”

“Old Sixth, what are you saying!!” Suddenly, an unexpected screech was heard.

Third Miss Zheng wasn’t the soldiers’ match, so she could only look on helplessly as they snatched away her only bag of mystic currency. She got up discomposedly from the floor and rushed towards Sixth Zheng. “If you don’t need a place to stay we need it!”

Sixth Zheng flashed to evade her, and he didn’t even spare Third Miss Zheng a glance as he directly patted Wu Xiao’en’s shoulder. “Let’s go.”

“Okay, then I’ll send you off.” Wu Xiao’en was also a slick person, and he understood from this conversation that Sixth Young Sir disliked his siblings. Hence, he didn’t squabble with them either and directly pulled Sixth Young Sir Zheng into his carriage.

On the other end, at the north city gate, Dou Fengchi had almost reached the end of her patience. Suddenly, she swept the Duan Family’s Seventh Miss Duan Siren a glance. “Seventh Duan, why don’t you say something! How long do we have to wait like this?”

Seventh Miss Duan was a 16-year-old young girl, with a pair of bright and glossy eyes on her small, round face.

When she heard Dou Fengchi say this, she replied with a smile, “Sister Fengchi, if you’re so impatient, then go ask the crown prince consort when exactly we will set out.”

Dou Fengchi instantly wilted.

Qiao Mu, who was sitting inside the carriage, of course knew that the people outside were getting impatient.

But she didn’t feel like paying attention to them, instead turning to look at Mo Lian, who was staring at her unblinkingly. “Lian, do you know why those people from Shuntian Prefecture took such great pains to machinate this show of accusing me to be the kingdom-destroying witch?”

Mo Lian’s heart jolted. “Do tell.”

“Because their high and mighty Prefecture Lord of the Shuntian Prefecture is intent on making my life miserable.” Qiao Mu curved her lips into a sneer.

They did all this not to make her die, but it was for nothing more than to make the crown prince spurn her. It would have been ideal if he repealed her title as crown prince consort so that she could suffer the censure of the ignorant masses, just like the present Courtesan Zheng.

These people racked their brains and did their utmost to make her live miserably!

If the developments in this life were the same as her previous life’s, then she would still be a weakling, which would conform to their wishes.

A ferociousness flitted across Mo Lian’s eyes. He abruptly pulled her into his arms, putting his chin on top of her small head and speaking in a muffled voice, “I won’t be accompanying you to the Mystic Beast Forest this time.”

“I already know where Liu Yizhi is hiding from Black Cat’s confession. Before you come back, I’ll go dispose of them. Qiaoqiao, I want to give you a lifelong peace, and I will protect you for a lifetime. I won’t let those vermin from the Shuntian Prefecture harass you anymore. Okay?”

As he spoke this gently, he lowered his head and lightly kissed the top of her head.

Qiao Mu snuggled into his embrace and responded in a soft and adorable voice. “Okay.”

At this time, the sound of quarreling came from outside. Dou Fengchi was interrogating in her high-pitched voice, “Why have you come?”

Qiao Mu lifted up the carriage curtain and casually hopped down onto the ground. “Little Sixth.”

“Zheng Tian greets His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince Consort.” Paying no attention to Dou Fengchi’s hullabaloo at all, Little Sixth Zheng turned around to salute the couple.

The crown prince scanned his face with a judgmental gaze before retracting it indifferently.

“Okay, everyone’s here now. We can depart,” Qiao Mu then looked at everyone as she said this with a nod.
