2449 Reaping a Harvest

Particularly this youth who had been looking at her with contempt. He was simply loony.

Qiao Mu did not like him, and her stoic face was even more expressionless. She glanced up and then turned her eyes away.

"Little lady, this five hundred spirit currency is fair compensation." The woman was still prattling nonstop, but Qiao Mu was not interested in what she had to say. She flew away from the pleasure boat with Miss Meng and jumped back to her own government boat.

Just as she made her landing, Mo Lian walked out onto the deck. Behind him followed the stern-faced Fang Su, who was holding food, and the jolly Eunuch Hu plus the servants.

Each of them was holding a steaming-hot dish in their hands, and the scent wafted over.

Qiao Mu immediately ran over with bright eyes. "Dinner!"

Mo Lian chuckled and walked up to grab her small hand. "What did you do outside just now?"

"What did I do? I did nothing at all!" The little fellow pulled him to the table and sat down. She blinked guilelessly, her face saying 'I was very obedient.'

"Then why did Fang Su say that you ran over to the boat next door to make trouble?"

Fang Su: …

Is it good to be screwing over your subordinate like this, Your Highness?

Is there a master like you who sells out your subordinate without batting an eyelid!?

Qiao Mu cast a glance at Fang Su. The latter promptly felt a sinister chill, and terror surfaced in his heart.

He wasn't in trouble, right?

"I saw someone familiar and went over to say hi. It didn't take up too much time! Delicious." Qiao Mu took the fish soup he ladled for her and gulped it down. Her whole body warmed up, and the taste was superb. She quickly handed the bowl back to him for seconds.

Fang Su silently twitched his mouth.

When he came up to the deck ten minutes ago, the crown prince consort had clearly been on the opposite boat and was beating an unlucky man to the ground.

The crown prince consort's way of saying hi was truly unique.

Fang Su wanted to give a sarcastic chuckle, but when he saw the little lady eyeing him eerily, he didn't know why he couldn't produce the chuckle…

He was such a coward, losing out to the little lady as a man.

"It was You Batian's second son. He was such a wimp." Qiao Mu harrumphed, "I didn't want to stoop down to his level."

Fang Su thought to himself, 'If you did stoop down to his level, would that poor devil still be alive?'

"The boat next to us is the Qin Estate's?" The crown prince asked gently as he reached out to hold her small hand.

Qiao Mu nodded.

"Ignore them."

Qiao Mu nodded again. She thought to herself, 'Of course she wasn't going to acknowledge them for no reason. She didn't want to see Second Qin.'

The next morning, Qiao Mu still got aroused by the boisterous laughter on the corridor outside.

The little fellow wiggled her limbs. When she opened her eyes and saw her hubby's handsome features within reach, she promptly felt that it was the start of a lovely day!

"Have you looked enough?" Mo Lian opened his eyes with a smile. Because he had just woken up, his voice was somewhat husky.

"Nope." The little lady shook her head vigorously, making the man laugh in a low voice.

By the time the two got up, nearly an hour had passed due to their dawdling.

After washing up, Qiao Mu pulled him up to the deck. "Come, let's see the harvest of yesterday's efforts."

Mo Lian raised an eyebrow. "Harvest?"

Qiao Mu nodded her small head. "Yeah, I tossed a lot of beads into the river yesterday."
