Qiao Hu also chimed in angrily, “He really couldn’t be any more despicable.”
“Alright, alright.” Qiao Mu consoled Brother Xiao Hu both in amusement and exasperation as she watched him swallow the pill.
“Then that Zhou Yuan is still causing trouble with his people on Hualing Street these two days?” Qiao Mu inquired curiously.
“Which day has he not done so? He goes every day, cursing like a rabid dog.” Qiao Hu smacked the table angrily. “Wait until I recover from these injuries. I’ll definitely go beat him up.”
“Isn’t he going to marry some daughter of the Gao Family? How does he have the idle time to cause Cousin trouble?” Qiao Mu couldn’t help but ask after having a maid come in and take away the empty bowls.
“That’s right, it was clearly that detestable punk who abandoned his wife to advance his social position by marrying Gao Qiqi, that daughter of the Gao Family. Yet he keeps vilifying Cousin for committing adultery. I simply haven’t seen anyone as despicable as him.”
From the father and son’s ranting, Qiao Mu had pieced together a big scumbag. “I’ll have Shaoyao go take a look later. Everything will be fine, so you two should rest first.”
Because her mother had given the order to prevent her from going out, she couldn’t go out as she wished until after her coming-of-age hairpin ceremony.
However, she could still send over the quick-witted Shaoyao.
Qiao Hu’s eyes brightened, and he blurted out, “Have Shaoyao be careful. Although those layer-11 body cultivators are injured, they are still quite formidable.”
Qiao Mu turned around to inspect Brother Xiao Hu closely. “Brother Xiao Hu, when you are fully recovered, I’ll refine two more mystic breakthrough pills for you so that you can raise your cultivation.”
Qiao Hu instantly beamed with joy. “Okay, okay! Sister, I actually feel that my body is fully recovered right now, how about now.”
“We’ll see in two days.” Qiao Mu couldn’t help but shake her head at his eagerness. “First recuperate properly. You don’t need to be in a rush.”
When she turned around and saw her second uncle looking at her eagerly, she couldn’t help but chuckle, “Second Uncle, I’ll refine two body cultivation pills for you.”
“Great!” Second Uncle Qiao cracked a grin as he replied.
Previously, when he saw his eldest brother skyrocket to become a level-nine mystic cultivator after consuming two mystic breakthrough pills, it was a lie to say that he wasn’t envious!
When he thought of how he would be able to improve himself soon, Second Uncle Qiao smiled so widely that you couldn’t see his eyes.
After leaving the father and son’s sickroom, she instructed Shaoyao straightaway to scout out the situation on Hualing Street.
By contrast, the little fellow kicked off her shoes and laid down on the brocade divan beside the window.
However, it wasn’t long before she saw a pale white figure darting in from the window and snuggling up against her with a pounce.
“You’re being annoying.” Qiao Mu poked that guy’s forehead with her finger.
Crown Prince Mo looked at her innocently as he caught her finger. “Qiaoqiao, I had to talk with that bunch of old fogeys for half the day after morning court ended, so I haven’t even eaten a spoonful of hot porridge yet. So hungry.”
“How about letting Qiuju cook you some noodles?”
“Mhm, mhm.” Crown Prince Mo nodded as he prattled while lying against her, “Qiaoqiao, my head hurts.”
Qiao Mu climbed over to him speechlessly and set his head on her thighs, using her fingers to massage his temples. “If Mom were to see this side of you, she would definitely be dumbstruck.”
Crown Prince Mo nuzzled her with his head. “Which side of me?”
“Your rascally side.”
Mo Lian gave a chortle. He flipped around and pulled out a small rectangular box from his sleeve. “Hubby’s present for you. Quickly open it and take a look.”
“What is it?” Qiao Mu opened the lid.
