2601 I Just Want to Make You All Suffer!
"You people from the Mu Clan have come just in time." Qiao Mu spoke coldly as she directly took the list from Eunuch Chen's hands and tossed it toward Mu Xingchen and company. "The Mu Clan is a big clan and has many businesses. You should be able to immediately gather the items on the list. I will send people to collect them in the evening. Do not give me one item less than what's on the list! Otherwise, you'll regret it."
After saying this, she hopped off the big wooden armchair and trotted toward the doorway.
Mu Jingxing and Mu Jingyuan finally witnessed the little lady's indifference for the first time.
When they recalled what Mu Xingchen had said earlier, they couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Indeed, she wouldn't spare a glance even if someone from the Mu Clan was lying in the middle of the street.
"Qiaoqiao, can we have a proper conversation?" Mu Xingchen looked at the little lady in anguish. He stretched out his arm to block her path.
Qiao Mu halted, and she looked at Mu Xingchen without a ripple in her expression. It was like she was looking at an ordinary stranger.
"The emperor's edict…"
"It was my request." Qiao Mu was open and aboveboard. A chilliness flitted across the depths of her eyes. "I just want your Mu Clan to be in a sorry plight, unable to be at ease."
Mu Jingxing looked at the little lady speechlessly.
"It's Qiaoqiao, right." Mu Jingxing coughed lightly. "I am your second uncle, Mu Jingxing."
"This is your third uncle, Mu Jingyuan."
Qiao Mu swept the two people a faint gaze. She did not intend to call them, nor did she express how much she welcomed them.
Mu Jingyuan stepped up and asked, "Qiaoqiao. How have you been living on Sikong Planet? How is Eldest Sister-in-Law right now?"
Qiao Mu looked at him with a profound gaze.
From the very beginning, this person did not seem to care about the Mu Clan's imperial edict at all. Instead, he had been asking about her own situation the whole time.
"It's, it's Third Uncle's fault for being useless and unable to find you and your mother all these years." Mu Jingyuan hastily said, "Third Uncle simply did not know that you and your mother actually ran to such a Lower Star Domain as Sikong Planet."
Qiao Mu raised her hand to stop his rambling. "The past is in the past. There isn't much use talking about this now."
"Yes, yes." Mu Jingyuan quickly nodded and said, "Qiaoqiao, don't come back if you don't want to. You can just tell Third Uncle if you are lacking anything."
"Third Brother." Mu Jingxing turned even more speechless.
Was this Third Brother stupid? If this lass Mu Qiao didn't return to the Mu Clan, would the emperor let their clan off?
Right now, his thoughts were the same as the elders'. He felt that the emperor had issued this edict on purpose.
The reason must be because if the crown prince consort was only a village girl from a mountain village on Sikong Planet, her identity was definitely a bit too lowly. If the crown prince consort had the Mu Clan as her backer, it would be acceptable to the various patrician families and court officials!
After all, the crown prince consort would have a background as the daughter of a patrician family at that time.
The emperor was forcing their Mu Clan to recognize this little lass whether they wanted to or not!
How would Mu Jingxing know that the emperor wasn't forcing them?
It was clearly the young couple who forced him to issue this trashy imperial edict…
If the emperor knew what Mu Jingxing was thinking, he would definitely chuckle ironically.
Mu Jingxing stepped up and told Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, don't be willful anymore. Come back with us."
"I know that Concubine Shi previously made you very unhappy when she brought back the fake, but this matter has already been resolved now."
