2482 Messing Up Her Chess Board
"Such an idiot." Shi Huixin cursed on the inside.
She had originally planned to bring that unpresentable woman to the flower-viewing banquet hosted by Madam Guo'an today.
So that the aristocratic ladies would see this "young lady of direct descent."
Therefore, even if that real Qiao Mu wanted to return home in the future, her reputation would have pretty much been ruined by this idiotic impostor.
Yet who knew that this idiot would get beaten up black and blue until she was at her last gasp while alone in her courtyard?
"Guard Lu, go investigate! Go and thoroughly investigate what exactly happened." Shi Huixin was also unsettled.
Could there be someone else who was hiding in their Mu Clan and saw everything she had done?
She wasn't afraid of other people learning the truth. After all, she just needed to push the blame on Qiao Yingchun and say that they had tricked her.
She was just upset that there was someone in this household who was still standing up for Qiao Mu that little bastard.
"Nanny Zhu." Shi Huixin turned to look at an old woman who was wearing blue and white pieced clothes. She asked coldly, "Are all these injuries on the face? When will they heal?"
If she insisted on bringing this idiot out with an injured face, Madam would be the first to shut her down. Besides, her purpose would be too obvious.
She had brought Nanny Zhu with her when she married, so the latter was naturally loyal and understood her young lady's concerns. Nanny Zhu couldn't help but express her scorn. "Who knows if that b*tch accidentally fell, yet she presumptuously asserts that she got beaten by someone. All the injuries are on her face, and even the corner of her mouth was torn. Her eyes are swollen like a pig's."
"This servant estimates that even using beautifying pills and healing pills will take at least half a month to heal."
"Just rotten luck." Shi Huixin felt like her calculations had all been messed up, and she smacked her hand on the table.

The next day, Qiao Mu once again collected another school of fish.
This time, the spectators on the Weixi River no longer had anything to say. In any case, they were already used to it.
Who were they to blame for not having storage talismans?
They also wanted to collect fish too, but their inner worlds couldn't store living things.
Besides, their inner worlds only had several cubic meters of space. They used it to hold rare treasures, and not fish…
Sigh, comparison really drove people mad!
***
Qiao Mu returned to Fish Orchid Planet and released the school of fish into the Orchid Sea.
These fish were swimming jubilantly in the water. They made a splash as they jumped into the air, with streaks of lustrous water droplets.
Qiao Mu's eyes flickered.
Mo Lian walked up slowly and grasped her hand. He asked gently, "Are you going to watch the contest today, Qiaoqiao?"
He actually hoped for her to go.
He wanted her to completely forget about the unhappy things that happened yesterday and smile once again.
The little lady turned around and looked at him. It was as if she could sense his feelings, and something brushed over and touched her heart. It softened her heart so much that she couldn't speak.
She abruptly nodded, giving him an affirmative answer.
At that moment, Mo Lian curved his phoenix eyes and chuckled.
"Clang!" The gong rang once again.
The spectators in the corridor started cheering in waves.
Ten or so pill alchemists were in a mad rush to be the first. They all stuffed mantous with pills into thirty pitiful patients' mouths.
"Do you feel better yet?"
"Are you better yet, Bro?"
"Bro, can you see how many this is?" One person hilariously stuck out a finger and waggled it in front of the patient.
*Bam!*
