1282 Not Looking for You, I'm Looking for the Egg

Crown Prince Mo nodded seriously. "Don't see anything."

Eldest Qin's mouth twitched, and then he started snickering, "The crown prince and Fourth Duan both need to get your eyes checked."

*Bam!* Second Uncle Qiao abruptly smacked the table as he stood up with a flushed face, shouting drunkenly while pointing at Eldest Young Sir Qin, "You're the one who needs to get your eyes checked! What do you want to do? Where is there an egg here, where is the egg? There is only you dumb egg here!!"

Everyone: "…"

Mo Lian facepalmed while sniggering, unable to rein in his amusement.

Second Uncle was too comical. They had already told him not to drink since it only took three cups to make him drunk, yet he had drunk so much.

Second Young Sir Dou quickly walked over and mediated, "Alright, alright, both Eldest Young Sir Qin and the Qiao Family's Second Uncle are a bit tipsy, so let us not mind that egg. Today is Second Uncle Qiao's big day, so we…"

"Ay! It's fine if other people's eyesight have problems. But it's too fake if Your Highness the Crown Prince, Fourth Young Sir Duan, and Brother Situ pretend to not see anything." Eldest Young Sir Qin fanned himself with the folding fan and proclaimed with a simper, "How about we just wait here for a bit and see if it will reveal its true form!"

"I don't know what you are talking about." Duan Yue suppressed the impulse to burst out in laughter before forcefully trying to put down the tablecloth.

However, Eldest Young Sir Qin reached out to stop him, causing Duan Yue to stick out his leg to kick him.

Seeing that these two people were about to go at it for some unfathomable reason, Qiao Zhongbang quickly stepped in to stop them. "Let us talk things out nicely."

It was at this chaotic moment that a white light abruptly flitted past everyone so quickly that they could only catch a glimpse of a round furball.

That speed was simply comparable to a swift strike of lightning. After brushing past Eldest Young Sir Qin's waist, it rapidly leapt up to the roof and vanished in several breaths' time.

After the eldest young sir grasped at his belt, a peculiar smile appeared on his face.

On the other hand, Second Qin had sat at the table from beginning to end, not budging even a bit.

Yet his eyes flickered at this juncture, and he stood up to walk toward the eldest young sir.

"You saw now, right. My jade pendant got stolen." The eldest young sir gave Crown Prince Mo and Duan Yue a sardonic smile.

However, those two shameless fellows just shook their heads in unison. "Didn't see anything."

"Ha, ha!" On the other hand, Situ Yi produced two awkward chortles, but before he could continue, the tipsy Second Uncle Qiao exclaimed, "Eh? There really is an egg!"

Fifteen minutes had just gone by, so the egg's disguise was unveiled.

It immediately headed for its teammates: Mo Lian, Duan Yue, and Situ Yi…

"Haha!" Eldest Young Sir Qin applauded with a chuckle, "You can all see it now right. As this young sir said, it is clearly the crown prince and Fourth Duan who need to get their eyes checked!"

Duan Yue: …

"The crown prince consort has arrived!!" At this moment, the two guards keeping watch at the arched door of the forecourt saw the crown prince consort flashing past. Their brains short-circuited for three seconds before they hastily announced her entrance.

The young crown prince consort strode over quickly as she gazed expressionlessly at the crowd.

Mo Lian immediately went up to welcome her with smiling phoenix eyes. "Qiaoqiao, you've come to look for your husband."

"Not looking for you, I'm looking for the egg."

Mo Lian: …

Duan Yue guffawed as he gave Mo Lian a taunting smirk, "Your status can't even match up to an egg."

"Scram!" Mo Lian gave him a cold look.

As they spoke, Qiao Mu had already walked up placidly and bent down to pick up the egg on the floor. Then, she pivoted her head and abruptly struck out her palm. She berated Eldest Young Sir Qin sternly, "You hit it?"

Everyone: "…"
