"You're an outer chamber woman. You finally managed to latch onto the Mu family. Wouldn't it be better to just live your little life peacefully? But no, you just had to come and cause trouble in front of the Crown Princess! And you even dragged your own child into it!"
"The child is only this small right now. Are you trying to make her learn your bitchy ways from now on, so that when she grows up, she becomes a despicable person like you?"
Yuan Qionger stared with wide eyes, seemingly not expecting that a mere palace maid by the Crown Princess's side would dare to openly rebuke her like that.
"You, you, you!" She trembled all over with anger.
Qiaomu, however, couldn't be bothered to look at her again. She directly carried the child into the room, examined her body, took some mild fever-reducing liquid medicine, and carefully, little by little, fed it to the child.
When Mo Lian stepped into the courtyard, he saw a woman adorned with clanking jade pendants and glittering hair ornaments, disheveled and pressed to her knees in the courtyard.
He frowned, ignored her, and walked straight past. Pushing open the room door, he saw his little one, her back to him, bending over and feeding liquid medicine to a small infant.
Mo Lian rushed to his little wife's side like a gust of wind, glancing at the infant placed on the fluffy blanket. "For fever?"
"Mhm." Qiaomu had finished feeding. She put down the medicine bottle and turned to look at him. "Has the National Preceptor been sent off?"
Mo Lian pouted and nodded.
The National Preceptor had suddenly visited the Mu family, and the old master had called him over. He didn't know what that old demon was doing, coming to the Mu family for no reason.
He said a bunch of things, and in the end, he even managed to get an invitation to the old master's birthday banquet.
This made the Crown Prince highly suspicious. Could the National Preceptor's inexplicable visit today really just be to personally ask the old master for an invitation?
Qiaomu re-adjusted the child's swaddling clothes and picked her up.
By now, the child had fallen asleep. The abnormal redness on her small face gradually receded. Now, her porcelain-white face showed a delicate pink hue, and her breathing seemed much more normal than before.
The young Crown Princess's eyes softened inexplicably.
Crown Prince Mo watched from the side, his phoenix eyes subtly brightening.
His wife likes children!
This was a good omen. Perhaps in the future, they could... cough cough, have several little babies to make his wife happy!
"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness." Yuan Qionger saw Crown Prince Mo accompany the young Crown Princess out of the room and couldn't help but struggle, desperately trying to shuffle forward on her knees.
The old woman pressing down on her shoulders glared, putting a bit more force into her grip, making Yuan Qionger scream in pain.
"Your Royal Highness, please do justice! The Crown Princess suddenly hit me without a word, and even snatched my child! I, ah..." The old woman pressing her down struck harder, and Yuan Qionger cried out in pain.
"Teach her some manners," Mo Lian said coldly, then accompanied the young Crown Princess out the door.
They hadn't walked far when they heard the sound of slapping from the courtyard, accompanied by the old nanny's angry reprimand, "You, a mere outer chamber slut, dare to call yourself 'I' in front of the Crown Princess? This Mu family truly has no upbringing from top to bottom!"
It seemed Yuan Qionger had received the education she deserved.
"Where are we going, Qiao Qiao?" Crown Prince Mo asked.
"To the old master's North Garden," Qiaomu replied, looking down at the sleeping Mu Rouxue in her arms. "It's probably better for this child to be raised by the Old Madam."
