Chapter 537: Don’t Run

Concubine Mei crumpled to the ground in fright. None of the other madams were willing to help her up because they disdained her status as a concubine.

The madams were already very displeased when the Qin Estate sent a concubine to receive them for the birthday feast.

Right now, they felt as if they had swallowed a fly upon seeing Concubine Mei’s petty, pampered, and unpresentable behavior, and they looked down on her even more.

Madam Mu smiled and sat there without moving. She didn’t stop her own daughter, either, since her daughter wouldn’t lose out anyways. After all, that Xu Mingzhu wasn’t her Qianqian’s match at all.

She gazed frostily at the third miss of the Marquis of Placation’s Estate.

She was only a mere miss of a powerless marquis’s estate, yet she dared to attack her daughter. She deserved to be taught a lesson.

When the retainers hollered, “His Highness the Crown Prince is here,” our dear Qiao Mu, who was originally watching the drama with gusto, jolted in fright. She immediately turned around and fled wildly from the scene.

She kept feeling like a line of extremely prickly gazes were burning into her back!

Dang it, I’ve already turned invisible, why the heck can’t I still escape your discerning eyes?

So our dear Qiao Mu fled swiftly, but how could it compare to the crown prince’s terrifying speed?

He sprung over, and his hand was just about to latch onto her first.

Yet our dear Qiao Mu quickly stuck multiple speed talismans onto her own body and hightailed it out of there.

The crown prince halted and didn’t chase after her, gazing aggrievedly in the direction that she escaped to.

Huh! You know how to feel guilty now? And dare to avoid me too!

You really are a naive darling. You think you can escape after showing yourself?

“Your Highness.” Mu Qianqian’s maiden’s heart was about to leap out of her chest when she saw the crown prince heading swiftly in her direction.

“I-I’m fine, Your Highness doesn’t have to worry.” Having overthought things, Mu Qianqian blushed and smiled coyly.

She thought that the crown prince came over swiftly because he saw that she had gotten bullied…

She thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was worried about her.

In reality, besides that invisible and fleeing darling, no one else existed in Mo Lian’s eyes.

He didn’t even realize that Mu Qianqian was standing next to him until she started speaking, and he was immediately sickened by how she was currently looking at him both bashfully and embarrassedly.

His mother was recently busy with playing matchmaking for him. Apparently, she quite liked this talisman patrician family’s Eldest Miss.

Mo Lian was preoccupied and ignored her, walking up to Duan Yue instead. After he sent the latter a look, the two walked to the side.

Qin Guilu was vexed. He reprimanded Concubine Mei and then consoled the two patrician families’ misses. He felt greatly distressed by how so many incidents had already occurred before the banquet had even started.

Like an arrogant peacock, Mu Qianqian gloated at the discomposed Xu Mingzhu before returning to her mother’s side. Her large eyes fixed expectantly on the crown prince’s back figure.

Madam Mu patted the back of Mu Qianqian’s hand, signaling her to be patient.

The position of His Highness’s legal wife definitely belonged to the Mu Family!

Meanwhile, our dear Qiao Mu ran back towards the pond and examined herself in the water’s reflection again.

Right right right, invisibility talismans were ineffective in front of people whose cultivation was higher than hers!

No wonder a line of prickly gazes had been drawn to her location.

She had been completely unable to cover her traces!

Luckily, she had escaped quickly. Otherwise, wouldn’t she have been caught?

Ah, bah bah bah, what was she feeling guilty for anyways?

Why the heck did she have to run away? She would get caught, at worst… a certain someone started feeling sheepish again when she thought about getting caught.

Our dear Qiao Mu checked herself out in the pond’s reflection for a while. No matter how she looked at it, her face right now was totally different from her own!

Her disguise was totally flawless. How in the world did they recognize her?

She touched her “totally flawless” face.
