2717 Going Home
In simpler words, Hubby kept things hidden from the quilt and the others, maintaining a clean image.
On the contrary, Qiao Mu was overwhelmed with anger, making her feel dizzy.
/There seemed to be no solution to today’s issue!/
/How many days had passed since her return? The maidservants from her original family were all trying to get close to the Crown Prince? How annoying!/
/It appeared her temper was too lenient./
That’s why they weren’t afraid of consequences.
The young child’s small face was tense, and Crown Prince Mo felt a bit anxious.
She led him out from the classroom in the adjoining room and looked sternly at Nanny Zhou and the elderly maids who knelt in the courtyard, crying.
When he saw Mu Qingya’s embarrassed expression, he commanded coldly, “Someone, prepare the carriage. We’re returning to the Eastern Palace.”
Mu Qingya breathed a sigh of relief but still appeared uneasy. “Is the Crown Prince Consort and His Highness the Crown Prince going back to the palace for the banquet?”
Qiao Mu ignored her, turning to Caixiu, the embroiderer, and Caiqi. “Pack your belongings and leave immediately.”
/Why should she stay here when her original family was treating her with such hostility?/
It’s not like there was no place for her to stay. It was truly absurd.
Anyone unaware of the situation would assume she should just remain here.
His Highness the Crown Prince blinked and looked down at his wife. “Qiaoqiao, are we returning?”
Qiao Mu nodded. “Let’s go home.”
Mu Qingya was now somewhat panicked.
She couldn’t bear the responsibility for driving away the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince Consort. Stepping forward swiftly, she tried to convince them kindly, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Prince Consort, allow me to explain…”
“Explain what?” Qiao Mu cut her off abruptly, speaking with disdain, “Tell me, how many hostile incidents have occurred since I entered the Mu Clan’s school?”
“I thought you might have become more cautious after what happened to Xiao’xing. I didn’t anticipate that Magnolia Court would harbor such individuals!”
“No…” Mu Qingya was extremely flustered. She hurriedly attempted to explain, but in her haste, she stumbled and nearly fell.
Mu Rouxuan quickly moved to support her, her eyes filled with anger as she glared at Qiao Mu. Suppressing her rage, she asked softly, “Crown Prince Consort, could you listen to my mother’s explanation?”
“What more is there to explain?” Qiao Mu stared coldly at the mother-daughter duo. Then, she turned her gaze to Caixiu, the embroiderer, and Caiqi, who had just emerged from the standard class carrying something in their arms. “Hurry up. I don’t want to spend even a single extra minute in this noxious place as the Crown Prince Consort.”
After all, she had already received all the compensation she required. There was no need to linger here any longer.
Mu Qingya was consumed by anger and confusion. When she turned around and spotted Mu Jingfeng, Mu Xingchen, and Mu Xingchen entering from Mu Jingfeng’s peak, she felt as if she had caught a lifeline. Rushing forward, she pleaded, “Master, it’s my fault for failing to control the situation, causing the Crown Prince Consort and the Crown Prince to leave in anger.”
Mu Jingfeng had been well aware of the incident at Magnolia Court. Witnessing the Crown Prince Consort’s agitation, he himself grew agitated. “What are you doing now? You’ve been causing trouble all day long!”
Qiao Mu paid him no mind. If he wanted to cause a commotion, so be it. In his eyes, she couldn’t be a good daughter, no matter what she did.
Winning the affection of someone who had never accepted her was a daunting challenge.
She had no reason to try to gain favor with him and make him like her. After all, she wasn’t a form of currency to be exchanged.
Caixiu and Caiqi moved swiftly. They had already packed up properly as they spoke.
