2647 Just Still Needs to Be Breathing

As a salivating smell assaulted them, the little white squirrel immediately bristled in anger and took a combat stance. “Careful, Masta!”

“Roar.” A tiger with scarlet red fur suddenly darted out from behind the building. There was a circle of white fur around its neck.

Chirpy also instantly let out a “roar.” It made Qiaoqiao embarrassed.

That was a ferocious tiger roaring. What were you, a squirrel, following suit for!

Where did it learn all these weird habits? It must’ve been influenced by the weak chicken.

The air in this space turned stagnant.

At the same time, in Liujin Court.

Mu Qingya and Mu Rouxuan were currently eating dinner with Mu Jingfeng. The family of three were sitting together and chatting harmoniously.

At this time, a boy servant hastily came in to report that the crown prince consort had barged into Wind Chasing Court.

Mu Jingfeng was incensed. He flung down his chopsticks and couldn’t restrain his fury. “Didn’t I say long ago that no one can go there? She’s causing trouble just after coming back. Leave her be.”

Mu Qingya’s heart jolted. She hastily held Mu Jingfeng’s hand and persuaded gently, “My lord, wouldn’t it be too excessive to say that about the child? This is only the second day since she has come back. How would she know that you said that no one can go there? That place is abnormally dangerous. My lord, you had best hurry and send people to take a look.”

Mu Jingfeng suppressed his fury and pressed his lips together coldly. “Isn’t she very capable? Just let her be.”

Mu Qingya couldn’t help but get anxious hearing this. “Father told us to take good care of her. If she gets hurt the second day after coming back, never mind not being able to answer to Father. If word spreads to the palace and the emperor finds out, His Majesty might even charge us with the crime of failing to protect the crown prince consort.”

“Such a hassle!” Mu Jingfeng smacked the table angrily.

“Ziwei.”

Mu Ziwei, the senior elite disciple of the Mu Clan’s eldest branch, walked inside upon hearing his name. He bowed respectfully to Mu Jingfeng. “Master.”

“Go, bring people with you to Wind Chasing Court and take a look. She just needs to still be breathing! It’s good for her to suffer a bit.”

“Master.” Mu Qingya stared at Mu Jingfeng disapprovingly. “Won’t this make Xingchen hurt on the inside!”

Mu Jingfeng then spoke coldly with a frown, “Go inside and take a look. Help if you can!”

Mu Rouxuan also stood up. “Father, I will also go take a look.”

“Stay here to eat. This matter does not concern you.”

“Father, she is also my younger sister.” Mu Rouxuan hastily explained, “I will be back soon.”

Mu Jingfeng watched his eldest daughter go. He said to Mu Qingya with a harrumph, “You are so devoted to her, but she doesn’t feel grateful at all. She just had to bring the memorial tablet back and make you look bad! Also yesterday, Xuan’er had to suffer so much doing the three kneels and nine kowtows.”

Mu Qingya smiled gently and reached out to hold Mu Jingfeng’s hand. “We do not feel wronged. As long as you and her can cast aside your prejudices and coexist peacefully, what does Xuan’er’s bit of grievance amount to. My pride is even less worth talking about. Xingchen has been feeling down these few days. My lord, Xingchen will feel better if you treat Qiaoqiao better.”

Mu Jingfeng’s expression was taut. He was extremely angry on the inside. Was he the one who didn’t want to treat his daughter well? Was he the one who didn’t want to get close with this daughter? What was to be done about that stoic face. She was expressionless looking at him, even occasionally snarking at him.
