3274 May the Crown Princess's Anger Subsist
"You just called the Crown Princess a jealous woman!" Mo Lian stared coldly at Madam Chen. In his position, he wouldn't normally bother with a shrew, but what kind of words were those?
Who gave her the audacity to point at his Qiao Qiao and curse her like that?
Chen Chaozhi quickly stepped forward, reaching out to pinch his wife hard on her lower back, stopping the foolish woman from spewing more words.
He chuckled apologetically, "Your Royal Highness, please calm your anger. It was my foolish wife who spoke out of turn. I beg Your Royal Highness to consider that she is distraught over her daughter and temporarily not in her right mind, and forgive her a little."
"You also said Chen Baojia and Zhongli Zhiwei were betrothed to me??" Mo Lian gazed coldly at the foolish woman, his voice like it was pulled from an ice cellar. "Who gave you the nerve to spout such nonsense? Who ever acknowledged that?"
"Those two women have absolutely nothing to do with me!"
"Does my Crown Princess need to be jealous of these two insignificant women? Absolutely ridiculous!" Crown Prince Mo glanced at her indifferently. "From beginning to end, I have only had the Crown Princess. Who would the Crown Princess need to be jealous of?"
"Chen Chaozhi, your wife has slandered my Crown Princess in this manner. You must give me an explanation."
The surrounding crowd instantly felt their hearts ache.
They felt so full from this dog food...
How could they deal with this discomfort? Could they please stop flaunting their affection in front of this group of resentful women?
Aside from Fourth Uncle, who was a widower and hadn't remarried, every married man in the Mu family – those from the First, Second, and Fifth households – had several beautiful concubines by their side.
It was probably impossible to find another person on the Divine Land who, like the Crown Prince, explicitly stated that he only wanted the Crown Princess.
At this moment, they collectively forgot about the Emperor and Prince Kang, directly concluding that the Crown Prince's situation was extremely abnormal.
On their continent, the stronger one was, the stronger one became. Once one's cultivation rose, would they still worry about not having money and beauties throwing themselves at them?
Who could possibly expect a strong person to spend their days with just one beauty? How was that even possible!
Could this young Crown Princess be a fairy reincarnated, to have so utterly enchanted the future Crown Prince?
"Chen Chaozhi, what do you plan to do?" Crown Prince Mo continued to press.
He had no intention of letting Madam Chen off easily.
If he personally dealt with Madam Chen, it would be beneath him!
Let Chen Chaozhi deal with Madam Chen himself.
Anyone who dared to bully his little emperor would not have a good end.
Chen Chaozhi gave a bitter smile, realizing that he couldn't smooth things over today.
According to the Crown Prince, if he didn't give him a satisfactory explanation today, their Chen family would inevitably incur the Crown Prince's resentment because of this foolish woman's actions.
To be targeted by the future Crown Prince was certainly not a good thing.
Chen Chaozhi quickly offered an apologetic smile, "Your Royal Highness, rest assured, I will return and..."
"Are you trying to fool me?" Crown Prince Mo looked at him with cold eyes. "Forget it, I'll report this to the Emperor, and let him make the final decision..."
"No, no, no!" Chen Chaozhi was startled and quickly interrupted, "This ill-behaved woman spoke inappropriately. She deserves twenty lashes!"
He secretly glanced at the Crown Prince's expression, then gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty! Thirty lashes!"
"Your humble servant will carry out the punishment immediately! I hope Your Royal Highness's anger will subside!"
"It's not my anger that needs to subside, it's my little Crown Princess's anger," Crown Prince Mo corrected him coldly.
Chen Chaozhi nodded and hurriedly turned to the Crown Princess, saying, "May the Crown Princess's anger subside."
