Chapter 2686
2686 Hot Springs Villa
When Half-Moon Cliff’s Manager Fang heard that the crown prince and the crown prince consort had come to the villa, he immediately lined up with the villa’s managers, elderly female servants, maidservants, and boy servants to welcome them.
That’s why when Qiao Mu and her entourage reached the entrance, they saw several dozen people lined up to welcome them.
“Greetings to the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince Consort.”
...
Qiao Mu’s gaze shifted to the chubby manager with a kind face who was standing in the lead. She beckoned to him.
That fat manager hastily ran up and greeted with a smile, “Crown Prince Consort, this humble one’s surname is Fang. This humble one was unaware that the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince Consort had come to the villa, so please excuse this humble one for not coming out to greet you.”
The fat manager felt a bit uneasy when he saw Lady Qiao’s expressionless face.
After all, the servants weren’t familiar with these people’s temperaments, so they were a bit unsettled.
Qiao Mu naturally wasn’t going to tyrannize the servants.
As long as other people didn’t come make trouble for her, she would just close her eyes and let bygones be bygones.
As for a proper welcome, she wasn’t that particular about formality.
“Lead the way.”
“Ah, yes, yes.” The fat manager quickly nodded in response and personally led them toward the hot springs in the inner court.
Apart from the half-moon hot spring belt in the inner court, the layout of Brocade Villa was also asymmetrically picturesque. It was beautiful and lovely.
The entire villa was surrounded by mountains and rivers.
There was a large lake behind the cliff, and the silver waterfall at the top of the cliff gushed down nonstop like a descending dragon.
The fat manager led them to a place called the Misty Rain Pavilion. After eating tea and resting for a bit, the little lady decided to soak in the hot springs.
Crown Prince Mo and Young Master Mu saw that she was high spirits, so they let her be.
Mo Lian was a bit exasperated.
It was all Eldest Brother-in-Law’s fault for insisting on coming along. Otherwise, he would be able to go soak with his wife!
Sigh, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have chosen today to come to the villa.
The little lady had fun soaking in the half-moon spring for more than an hour by herself.
By the time she climbed ashore, her petite face was bright and rosy.
When she returned to the Misty Rain Pavilion, she saw two men playing chess out of boredom.
The exchange was like a battle without smoke. It was a deathly situation.
Seeing that the little lady had run back, the two of them simultaneously looked up at her.
Lady Qiaoqiao had changed into a bright red dress with a jade hairpin in her hair.
Mo Lian wanted to laugh when he saw her red battle outfit.
This little fellow was planning to stir up trouble…
Mu Xingchen’s eyes shone brightly. His heart was filled with joy as he looked at his younger sister.
Younger Sister was really good-looking. Third Uncle had said that Younger Sister resembled Mom. He wondered how magnificent Mom must have looked when she was young.
“You’ve soaked for so long. Come drink some tea first.” Mo Lian beckoned to her and pulled her to sit beside him.
“You two played chess the whole afternoon?” The little fellow picked up her teacup and glanced at the table curiously.
She lost interest at a glance…
“Mhm.” It was so boring. If it weren’t for his brother-in-law sitting here, would he have let her off? Humph.
Lady Qiaoqiao blinked. “Who won.”
“Of course your hubby had the upper hand.”
On the other end, Mu Xingchen harrumphed at him.
This crafty Crown Prince Mo.
He finally realized that this person was two-faced, wearing one in front of his younger sister and the other in front of other people!
This black-bellied guy.
“The uproar in the Mu Clan should be pretty much over by now.” Qiao Mu tilted her petite head. “How about we go back?”
She had been waiting until the fuss was over before going back. After all, Lady Qiaoqiao only needed to know the result, so they could do without the fuss. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
