3297 I didn't invite him

"Her obesity can't be solved by the Beauty Pill alone; she needs to be detoxified first."

Princess Consort Kang looked surprised. "She's an inner-chamber woman with no cultivation. Who would hold a grudge against her and poison her?"

Qiao Mu shrugged. That wasn't her concern.

"I can give you the antidote," Qiao Mu said, handing a Detoxification Pill to the Princess Consort. Then she added, "That day, she said she had money and was willing to pay several times the price for my Beauty Pill."

Princess Consort: ...

"Don't worry, Qiao Qiao. It's good for my stingy sister-in-law to bleed some money." Only by paying a high price would she cherish it, right?

In the late evening, Mo Lian and the Old Prince returned to the Prince's Estate together.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Mo Lian saw his little wife sitting primly, holding a porcelain cup, her round eyes looking toward him.

As soon as she saw him, she turned her little head away as if she hadn't seen him at all.

Crown Prince Mo immediately chuckled, hurried over, and reached out to embrace his wife. "Good evening, Qiao Qiao. Your husband hasn't seen you all day and misses you terribly."

Hmph! The little one gave him her back.

Mo Lian laughed and turned her small body around. "Qiao Qiao, what did your husband do to displease you?"

"You didn't wake me when you left."

Mo Lian curled his lips, bent down, and rubbed against her soft neck. "Heaven and Earth can bear witness, the sun and moon can show, I called 'Qiao Qiao' seven or eight times, but Qiao Qiao wouldn't respond to your husband."

Little Qiao Qiao looked at him expressionlessly, wiggled her small body, raised a hand to push his face, and said hesitantly, "My wood spiritual power has vigorous vitality. It can help stimulate hair growth for you!"

"Pfft..." Mo Lian burst out laughing.

How could his little wife think of everything?

"If I use wood spiritual power to stimulate growth, will your husband's hair grow all the way out of the hall?"

Possibly!

Qiao Mu thought for a moment, then put down her small hand and stroked Crown Prince Mo's head. "Let's forget it then."

The Old Prince, stealthily eyeing the lovey-dovey young couple, lowered his voice to the Princess Consort, "How did you trick the little girl into coming here again?"

"Heh, you didn't see it, did you? That little rascal was so anxious. He didn't even go back to the Mu family; he directly boarded my carriage, insisting on coming back with me!"

"I didn't invite him," the Old Prince pouted.

The Princess Consort chuckled, taking the Old Prince's hand and walking toward the couple. "Crown Prince, Prince, you two go change your clothes first. Dinner will be ready once you come out."

Go change! The little one reached out and patted his chest, her small expression showing her disdain for his smell.

Crown Prince Mo couldn't help but chuckle. He lowered his head and, catching her off guard, kissed her hard. Then he blinked and said, "Qiao Qiao, something fun happened in court today. I'll tell you about it later."

With that, he went to his room to change clothes.

A stick of incense later, the four of them sat around a small round table in the dining hall for dinner.

The Old Prince roared with full voice, "I heard the butler say that Liu Lanxin came to make trouble today? How did you deal with her? She didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

Princess Consort Kang looked at him speechlessly. "How could she make things difficult for me? She's just a newly widowed woman; she can't trouble me."

"Hmph," the Old Prince snorted ill-temperedly. "Her husband just died, and she, a widow, keeps running out and flaunting herself every other day. Doesn't she feel ashamed?"
