At this moment, the old man also walked over, chuckling, "Crown Prince, lunch is still some time away. Why don't you take Qiaoqiao to the side hall to eat something first?"
The old man felt it would be better to quickly let these two little terrors go play together.
Was it easy for him to host a banquet?
And now he had to endure such a scare...
"Qiaoqiao, are you hungry?" Mo Lian's eyes curved, and he looked at her with a smile, "I'll take you to eat some snacks."
"Okay!" Qiao Mu nodded, looking incredibly well-behaved, a stark contrast to her previous terrifying and murderous demeanor.
"What's going on here?" A high-pitched voice cut through the quiet, instantly breaking the calm.
Everyone had somewhat calmed down.
Especially the noblewomen who had been severely frightened. Although seeing the Crown Prince's utter devotion to the Little Crown Princess made them feel a bit sour, they dared not be blindly jealous.
After all, the Little Crown Princess was an extremely dangerous person; they had just clearly realized that.
The main key was not to provoke such a terrifying person. Secondly, they had to befriend her. Even if this person could annoy someone to death with just one sentence in conversation, they still had to bite the bullet and try to make friends!
Just as the ladies were summarizing their lessons and deciding to re-acquaint themselves with the Little Crown Princess, this cold shout again made their hearts jump into their throats.
Oh my, could they not just stroll elegantly and laugh freely?!
These sudden loud noises were scaring their hearts out.
The one who shouted in anger was none other than Madam Ma, Madam Zhongli, who had left her eldest daughter-in-law here to lure the Little Crown Princess into a trap while she herself hid far away.
This madam was skilled at instigating others from behind the scenes. Previously, she had instigated Chen Baojia's mother to provoke the Crown Princess at Nanxinyuan, but Madam Chen returned defeated, gaining nothing but trouble for herself.
Madam Ma, hidden in the dark, watched with shock, pondering and scheming at home several times until today. Only then did she manage to incite Prince Jia Lu of the Manbang Tribe to once again provoke the Mu family.
Unfortunately, it was a total failure!
No, it should be said that Jia Lu, that fool, hadn't even started to act before he was beaten to death by the Little Crown Princess!
How could this happen? Madam Zhongli was completely baffled.
The Little Crown Princess wasn't some immortal who could preemptively understand others' strategies. She had barely made a move, how could the Little Crown Princess know what they were planning...
Originally, their plan was for Prince Jia Lu to provoke the Mu family, and then, "accidentally," have close contact with the Little Crown Princess.
Immediately after, they would widely publicize that the Crown Princess and Prince Jia Lu had an unclear relationship. Then, naturally, there would be a series of actions to prove this "unclear relationship" was absolutely true and effective, aiming to destroy the marriage between the Little Crown Princess and the Crown Prince.
As long as the marriage was ruined and she lost the backing of her Crown Princess identity, a whole series of good shows awaited her!
Did the Crown Princess think the Jia Lu incident was over? It wasn't! Jia Lu was just the beginning. Having caused the death of her own daughter, Madam Ma swore to make her suffer a horrible end!
But all these plans...
Mysteriously, before they could even begin, they were aborted at the speed of light!
Jia Lu hadn't even touched a single strand of the Little Crown Princess's hair, let alone had any contact...
