2639 The Crown Prince Has Returned With His Wife to His In-Laws
Did you freakin’ think that you were an immortal!?
Never mind that you couldn’t even compare to a single hair on the young crown prince consort’s body. Even if you could and wanted to stand out, you shouldn’t be this direct.
It was aggravating to see this brainless idiot.
Nanny Zhou gestured for several strong, stocky maidservants to come forward and drag away the weeping Xiaoxing who was begging for mercy. She loathed to even give that lass another glance.
Juxian hastily stepped forward and comforted Nanny Zhou with a glib tongue. “Nanny, why be so angry with an unpresentable servant girl? Just send her out of the estate.”
Nanny Zhou thought that made sense. She thus patted her chest to soothe her breathing, and then she turned to stare at that bunch of servant girls. “I’m warning you all! That young crown prince consort is not to be trifled with. You all witnessed what happened to Xiaoxing just now! If you still want to be a moth to a flame, go ahead and try!”
“Don’t blame me for not warning you all. The crown prince consort truly will kill.”
“You all should have gotten wind of Young Master Erde’s tragic outcome.”
“Just go ahead and provoke her if you don’t want to live! If anything happens, don’t say that the Mu Clan can’t protect you!”
The servant girls all shuddered. They then obediently retreated to the outer court with Nanny Zhou.
After this ruckus, everyone in the entire Mu Clan knew that there was trouble in the young crown prince consort’s Magnolia Court again.

The palace’s imperial study.
By the time Mo Liusheng received news, it was already late in the evening.
Mo Liusheng couldn’t resist twitching his mouth as he stared at the hidden guard who came to report. “When does the crown prince say that he will return?”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the crown prince did not say anything.”
Mo Liusheng harrumphed and then waved his hand. “You are dismissed.”
He was holding a memorial from a veteran official. HIs eyes looked like they were scrutinizing the memorial, but Hu Dequan was wiping the sweat from his forehead on the side. There were some words that he feared to say.
After a while, Mo Liusheng finally tossed the memorial in his hand and scolded in a huff, “Could this little brat be a bit more mature? He just follows wherever his wife goes!”
It was obvious he wasn’t one to make his wife listen to him!
Hu Dequan was afraid to respond. He hung his head low and let the emperor vent for a bit. Afterwards, he called for someone to serve the emperor a new cup of tea, while he retreated out himself.
After exiting, Eunuch Hu mumbled to himself, “No one should say anything about anyone.”
Emperor, have you forgotten how you ran off with Her Majesty the Empress in your younger days?

The Mu Estate.
The Olive Garden.
Ever since Mu Jingfeng grounded Concubine Shi, her stomach pains started afflicting her again. Right now, she was lying weakly on the divan and staring at her two daughters in front of her.
“Mom, luckily Father grounded you at home, so you didn’t need to suffer that disgrace.” Mu Rouyan gripped her fingers angrily. She kept tattling, “You don’t know how arrogant that little b*tch was! She even treated Father with contempt.”
“Isn’t that so.” Mu Rouyun lowered her eyes and commented coldly, “She can immediately take a mile when given an inch.”
“My daughters have suffered.” Shi Huixin dabbed at her eyes with her handkerchief.
“Concubine Shi.” A woman in her fifties strode in and saluted Shi Huixin and the two young ladies. She then reported, “There is trouble in Magnolia Court again.”
“Magnolia Court?”
“That is where the crown prince consort is staying.” Nanny Zhu pursed her lips and remarked, “That person truly isn’t someone to be trifled with.”
