Chapter 2688
2688 In a Terrible Fix
If not for the fact that he didn’t have any other sons, did this son think he could still be the Young Master of the Mu Clan?
He didn’t know what was good for him!
Sure enough, the children that woman gave birth to were all troublesome.
...
“Family Head Mu, why are you shouting?” Crown Prince Mo swept him an apathetic glance.
Mu Jingfeng swallowed his anger and saluted the crown prince with cupped hands. “Greetings to the Crown Prince.”
It was frustrating. It really was frustrating!
Other people’s son-in-laws were courteous to them and made salutations whenever they saw their father-in-laws.
The dynamic here was flipped around!
Mu Jingfeng was still unaware of the crown prince’s attitude toward his parents-in-law from the Qiao Family. If Mu Jingfeng were to see such a stark contrast, he would definitely faint from anger.
Mu Qingya was currently sitting in the main seat. Besides a bit of grief on her face, she did not show any resentment or dissatisfaction.
Qiao Mu sized her up and grew even more vigilant.
From the moment she returned, the impression she got from this Madam Mu was that the latter spoke and acted impeccably.
Everyone in the family, including the clan head and even her mother’s loyal servant Chenshang, were full of praises for her.
Qiao Mu only believed in intuition.
No one was perfect.
Qiao Mu instinctively felt that there was a big problem with this woman who could cover up her emotions so thoroughly and handle matters flawlessly.
Of course, without concrete evidence, Qiao Mu naturally wouldn’t foolishly say such baseless words.
Madam Mu had been managing the clan’s household affairs for more than a decade. Qiao Mu naturally did not believe that a smart woman like her did not have a group of forces under her command.
At this time, an 18 to 19-year-old woman was kneeling at Madam Mu’s feet. She had an exquisite face and misty almond eyes. She wept while hugging her child.
Mu Qingya’s voice was a bit grave. “No one will stop Master from marrying a concubine. Why the need to keep her outside? Now, word of gossip has spread to the public. Those words are not pleasant.”
Mu Jingfeng’s expression was very unsightly. He had already heard the rumors on the way back.
Some busybodies even spread word everywhere of his romantic affairs like a storyteller, saying that he had given his ex-wife’s dowry to a mistress, and that the eldest young master had caught him fooling around…
It simply made him lose all his pride and self-respect!
It was all these two unfilial children’s doing!
He only had one son, Mu Xingchen, after all these years. What was wrong with having a pretty mistress and wanting to give birth to a few more sons? Was it worth making a fuss like this?
Yet these two unfilial children had actually barged into Qiong’er’s court. They simply had no manners and acted so insolently that it made one’s hair stand up in anger!
“It’s not like the Crown Prince Consort lacks a court. Why do such a shameful thing like intruding into someone else’s court!”
“This crown prince ordered people to barge in!”
“Father, don’t blame Younger Sister. I was the one who forced my way in!”
Before Qiao Mu could berate Mu Jingfeng, the crown prince and Mu Xingchen spoke simultaneously.
Mu Jingfeng was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nostrils.
Right now, he had to douse the fire burning in his harem. He also had to deal with Qiao Mu, this unfilial daughter, as well as placate Madam Mu. His head was swelling from the trouble!
“Even though you are the Crown Prince, it is truly inexcusable to trespass into private property!”
“What private property have we trespassed into? Have you gone senile?” Qiao Mu directly dissed back. “This Crown Prince Consort will be suing her today for seizing a residential compound and embezzling my mother’s private assets.”
Qiao Mu shouted coldly, “Mu Jingfeng, you have no sense of shame at all. You brought this on yourself!”
Originally, she didn’t want to make things so unpleasant. Since this Mu Jingfeng was not sincere in returning her things, she would knock his teeth out and make him swallow them with blood.
He had to cough up everything that belonged to her!
