This truly was a drama! His mother had stopped her antics recently, so why did she start to make a fuss again just as his eldest daughter came back!
She clearly knew that this eldest daughter of his was not someone she could control! This Elderly Lady! Qiao Zhongbang couldn’t help having a headache, and he massaged his temples while secretly blaming his mother for being meddlesome.
He had just learned why his youngest son suffered a beating. It truly was because they as parents didn’t discipline him properly, and he deserved to be beaten and punished. He had even planned to personally make a trip to Sir Ren’s estate tomorrow to apologize to Sir Ren.
What was his mother doing! A servant girl wagged her tongue in front of her, intending to cause trouble, and as expected, she anxiously ran over to chastise his eldest daughter. This truly was vexing!
No one had thought to inform Elderly Lady today, so if not for someone’s instigation, how would she have come over by herself?
Qiao Zhongbang wasn’t a fool, and he could connect the dots after thinking the matter over.
The fact that there was such a commotion in the family—wasn’t this purely making the crown prince witness a spectacle!
Qiao Zhongbang glanced furtively at the crown prince, and when he saw his collected face without any intention to comment, his mind involuntarily relaxed a bit.
After Huifeng left to carry out his order, the crown prince scoffed faintly in his heart.
That Dong-whatever servant girl was insolent to the extreme, angering his Darling Qiao so badly that her face was flushed.
As such, you still hoped to report to the middleman without a hitch after leaving the Qiao Estate?
Donghe didn’t know that her fate had long been decided. After being punished with 30 whips, she was flung out the door like a cloth rag to wait for the middleman to come take her away.
She was beside herself with indignation, and she kept swearing, “You think you’re so awesome because you’re the Qiao Estate’s Eldest Miss! You think you’re all that because you’re the crown prince consort! I will definitely take revenge for today, you just wait… Wuwu, wuwu!”
Finding her irritating, two boy servants directly stuffed a rag cloth into her mouth.
“Mom, get up first!” Even though Wei Ziqin sat unmovingly with an unfeeling expression, Qiao Zhongbang couldn’t sit still. After all, he couldn’t continue staring blankly as his mother sat on the ground like a village woman and shamelessly made an unreasonable scene in front of the crown prince!
“You rotten son!” Elderly Lady gave Qiao Zhongbang a sound slap across the face.
Several years ago, Qiao Zhongbang had an earnest and sincere heart, just like that of a newborn, but his mother had practically eroded it all away. Now, his heart had already grown cold, so it naturally wouldn’t hurt anymore.
On the contrary, Second Uncle Qiao Zhongxing flared up as he stood with a swish, shouting, “Mom! What are you doing? Are you done yet? You people, quickly help Old Madam back to Longevity Court!”
“Ah, my sons are not filial and my daughter-in-law is not virtuous!! Ah, my descendants are unworthy! What purpose is there for me, this old person, to keep living? Just let me die and be done with everything!” Elderly Lady wailed while bawling her eyes out.
Qiao Zhongbang stood up quietly and didn’t pay attention to her anymore.
Qiao Mu gazed coldly at Elderly Lady before suddenly retrieving a small bottle of medicinal solution from her inner world with a flip of her hand. She slowly ambled toward Elderly Lady, handing it over. “Here, drink it.”
Elderly Lady looked at her with enlarged eyes, and her lips involuntarily quivered. “This, what is this?”
“A poison solution. I guarantee that you’ll be deader than a doornail after drinking a mouthful.” Elderly Lady’s complexion immediately turned ashen as she raised her head.
Everyone inside the courtyard quietly kept their mouths shut, not uttering a sound, and a terrifying silence pervaded the entire anteroom.
“Do you need me to find someone to help you?” Qiao Mu asked coldly.
“You, you!” Elderly Lady was indeed a scaredy-cat. Qiao Mu was so excessively vicious that she wilted subsequently. As she gazed at Qiao Mu’s apathetic eyes, her entire body couldn’t resist trembling.
