94 Father and Daughter at Odds

As she said this, her stoic face tried its best to put on a deeply worried expression. She imitated the crown prince's tone and sighed, "If we don't leave here as quickly as possible, our future is bleak."

Shaoyao nearly laughed out loud at this scene. Little Miss's face was truly unsuited for such an odd expression. The deep worry was not apparent; instead, it looked more like a stoic face suddenly crumbling into a ball, giving people an inexplicable comical feeling.

"Eldest Aunt, we can't allow those bad people to capture Elder Younger Sis," Qiao Hu injected in a hurry. Besides the paleness on his face, he appeared mostly recovered.

This child was not someone who could stay stationary. He had just gotten better, and he already wanted to leave the bed. Thankfully, the life-saving pill was quite good, so Qiao Mu was not worried.

Wei Ziqin could not tell in the slightest that Qiao Hu had serious internal injuries just now or that he had nearly stepped into the jaws of death.

Qiao Hu kept urging noisily, "Eldest Aunt, why don't we pack up now and immediately leave?"

Hearing this, Wei Ziqin almost automatically nodded in agreement. On the side, Qiao Mu could not resist rolling her eyes. What need was there to be in such a hurry?

"Mother, it's not that urgent. Plus, we can't leave so impromptu. We still need to clean and pack the things at home and wait for Second Uncle to return."

"Oh, right! Father is still outside!" Only then did Qiao Hu remember his father…

"But will those people from the evil faction…?"

"They shouldn't." Qiao Mu continued to beguile without missing a beat, "Those people were sent running by the Crown Prince, so they shouldn't be returning in these next few days. We still have time."

As she said that, she stuffed the two storage talismans into Wei Ziqin's hand. "Mother, these two storage talismans are for you to pack up the house - pack up what you can. Take all the living equipment and farm tools, we might need it in the future."

Wei Ziqin nodded continuously, no longer declining the storage talisman. As her daughter instructed, she bit her finger and dripped a few drops of blood onto the talisman, causing a yellow and blue light to flicker.

Qiao Mu explained some of the differences between the yellow talisman and the blue talisman, and she also taught her mother how to store and extract items. When Wei Ziqin heard that there was a limit to storing and extracting items with the talisman, she instantly regretted wasting a few chances while learning it. She then hurriedly stored the talismans somewhere safe, treating them like treasures. Qiao Mu's eyes twitched as she watched this.

In truth, as long as your daughter had enough blank talisman papers, she could draw more without a thought. They really were not that valuable…

Around evening, Qiao Zhongbang dragged his tired self home and sat in front of the dining table without a word.

Qiao Hu held his bowl and stuffed his mouth full. His face was rosy, and all traces of his previous injury were completely gone.

Wei Ziqin used her chopsticks to pick up the food for her two daughters, and mother and daughters conversed and laughed without paying attention to the man whose face resembled a burnt piece of bread.

Qiao Zhongbang could not hold back anymore and placed his bowl on the table, a light clang ringing. He glanced at his eldest daughter with complicated feelings in his eyes. "Your grandmother is ill. Tomorrow, you and your sister should go and visit your grandmother…"

"I understand," Qiao Mu dryly responded.

Qiao Zhongbang held back for a moment before his next words broke loose, "In truth, our family had long since moved out of the Qiao Family's main compound and spent our lives on our own. We are technically considered separated from the family already, so it was a completely superfluous move to establish this family division document. You even angered your grandmother to death."

Qiao Mu indifferently glanced at the man before calmly saying, "Isn't it good to establish this document? This is the clan's rule, dividing it distinctly and officially so as to avoid any confusion and controversy later. Even blood brothers should keep separate accounts, don't you think so?"

None of the dregs from the Qiao Clan should even think about sullying any of her supplies!

Instantly, Qiao Zhongbang felt stifled with anger and was at a loss for words.
