Chapter 577: The Crown Prince Is Enraged

Qiao Mu glanced at Xu Jiao coldly, a hint of contempt surfacing on her small stoic face. “I’m sorry to say, but based on my current status, I indeed can speak up wherever I want!”

What to do? She suddenly wanted to abuse her power to bully others mercilessly!

It wasn’t good to abuse one’s power to bully others! But faced with these greedy and hypocritical faces, she really didn’t want to restrain herself any longer.

On what basis did her mother have to suffer from these people’s abuse? It couldn’t be that these people would be willing to let their family off if they tolerated them?

Xu Jiao’s complexion changed drastically.

Qiao Long, who was on the side, couldn’t endure it any longer and immediately hollered, “You little b*tch, how dare you speak like this to my mom?” At the same time, he barreled over and flung out his hand, aiming to slap Qiao Mu’s small face.

In the past, Qiao Long was the entire family’s little ancestor. Who dared to give him attitude?

Now, after entering the eldest branch’s marquis’s estate and seeing the eldest branch, which could originally only wear plain cotton clothing and live in a rundown house, all living a life of luxury and having fair complexions, he really felt that it was unfair to the extreme!

In Grandmother’s eyes, he, Qiao Long, was the greatest ancestor. Even if he gave this Eldest Cousin a slap across the face, she could do nothing but spit out blood and have her teeth knocked out!

However…

His hand had yet to touch a hair on Qiao Mu when his face took a heavy slap.

“Insolent!” With a flash, Mo Lian had arrived beside Qiao Mu. He drew her into his embrace and gave a furious bellow, his expression abnormally furious.

He really didn’t know that Qiaoqiao was bullied like this back then in the village.

The fact that this half-grown punk dared to hit his Qiaoqiao right now clearly showed how wild he was used to being at home in the past, and how used to hitting others he was!

He really had quite the dog guts.

Immediately afterwards, the main door abruptly opened wide, and several dozen armed guards charged inside, completely surrounding Granny Niu’s family as well as Qiao Zhongheng’s family of three. They drew their sharp blades, which glinted under the light, and simultaneously pointed them towards the ghastly pale Qiao Zhongheng and company.

Qiao Zhongheng and company’s malnourished faces all showed bewilderment, but with so many blades pointing at them, they could only raise up both hands in surrender.

He Tian respectfully led his soldiers to genuflect in greeting. “This subordinate greets the crown prince and the crown prince consort. This subordinate did not do his best in protecting his masters! And has caused the crown prince consort to be startled! Will the crown prince consort please mete out punishment.”

Qiao Mu shook her head and gestured for him to stand.

Meanwhile, Qiao Zhongheng and company’s eyelids jerked fiercely, each of them wearing flabbergasted expressions as they stared dumbfoundedly at Crown Prince Mo and their eldest niece, who were standing in the center of the crowd.

C-Crown Prince? Crown Prince Consort? W-What was the situation?

After they entered the city, they went around like headless flies to ask around for the Qiao Estate’s location, and they couldn’t be any more specific than that. Furthermore, the person that pointed out the way for them didn’t have good intentions and directly identified the Marquis of Jiayuan’s Estate, telling them that it was the city’s largest Qiao Estate.

Seeing how they were dressed in rags and looked just like beggars, that person actually wanted to play a joke on them and see an amusing show. He deliberately wanted to pull their legs. How would he have guessed that he indeed directed them on the correct path?

When he saw that Qiao Zhongheng’s family of three were truly the Marquis of Jiayuan’s Estate’s relatives, the person who directed them over and had planned to watch an amusing show was so frightened that his knees buckled, and he made himself scarce right away.

Hence, after entering the city, Qiao Zhongheng and the others simply didn’t find out what was going on before bolting straight for the Qiao Estate.

He only knew that his eldest brother had been promoted to an official and gained a lot of wealth, as well as nabbing the title of a marquis. He was very envious and had been thinking that he had to bring his wife and son to settle down in the marquis’s estate at any cost. He had to hug onto his eldest brother’s thigh no matter what. When the time came, perhaps he could even become an official.

Thus, this sudden development shocked Qiao Zhongheng’s family into turning as white as a sheet.
