Chapter 3474: 4.1074 Ulterior Motives (Monthly Ticket Bonus Update 18)

"Young Miss, Young Miss!" The Qiao family's servants, seeing their formidable Young Miss return, immediately became invigorated, as if injected with a stimulant.

Qiao Mu looked closely at the people arguing with her parents. She felt their faces seemed somewhat familiar, but for a moment, she couldn't recall who they were.

Her cousin, Pu Ruolan, quickly walked out at this moment, bowing gracefully. "Greetings, Crown Prince, Crown Princess."

Qiao Mu hastily helped her up. "Cousin, there's no need for such formality."

Then, turning back to the arguing individuals, a flash of insight struck her. "Is that Zhou Yuan from the Zhou family?"

Isn't this Pu Ruolan's ex-husband, that Zhou Yuan who caused a scene trying to demote his wife to a concubine just to gain wealth?

Her cousin had already divorced this man, so why was he causing trouble again?

Pu Ruolan nodded, her gaze coldly fixed on Zhou Yuan and his companions, who were making a fuss at the Qiao family's gate.

Zhou Yuan's mother, a corpulent woman adorned with pearls and jade like a pig, was screeching at the top of her lungs, "If it weren't for the disaster brought by your Qiao family, how would it have implicated our family? Now our master has been killed, and our family fortune has been plundered clean! I don't care, you should compensate our Zhou family, you must compensate!"

"Didn't you climb up to the rich Gao family?"

"A mere bit of money, can you still care about that?" Qiao Wenxiu, the eldest aunt, glared at Zhou Yuan's mother, shouting sharply, "I advise you not to make a scene here, lest you can't control it!"

"Good! You want to use the Crown Princess to suppress people again, do you?!" Zhou Yuan's mother's eyes turned red with fury. Just as she was about to pounce, a dark figure flashed forward and grabbed the back of her neck by her clothes.

As soon as a few Purple Forest Guards made their move, all the noisy individuals at the gate were immediately subdued and lay sprawled on the ground.

Zhou Yuan was startled. He turned to see the displeased Crown Prince and his eyes darted around. He quickly said, "Crown Prince, Crown Princess, it's not that we intentionally came to disturb you. It's truly because our home was turned upside down by those powerful figures from the Divine Land, and life has become truly unbearable..."

Qiao Mu looked at them coldly, then her gaze fell on Zhou Yuan's mother. The old woman was still cursing indistinctly, endlessly seeking death.

Qiao Mu lightly raised her hand, and immediately two Purple Forest Guards stepped forward, dragging Zhou Yuan's mother away.

Zhou Yuan's eyes widened in terror. He looked at the poker-faced little Crown Princess, crying out in shock, "Crown Princess, what are you doing? My mother didn't commit any major crime, did she? What do you want to do? You can't rely on your noble status to be so aggressive and not give people a way to live!"

Qiao Mu cast a cold glance at him. Then, her gaze shifted, and she saw Hui Feng approaching, carrying a struggling woman. He threw the woman in front of Qiao Mu and cupped his fists, saying, "Crown Princess, this woman was acting suspiciously at the back gate."

Qiao Mu looked at the woman, momentarily unable to recall who she was.

Pu Ruolan, however, raised her voice and angrily shouted, "Gao Qiqi, you've come to cause trouble too? Has your Gao family also been implicated by the Qiao family, causing your father's death and all your family's assets to be taken by strongmen?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiqi's gaze instantly sharpened. She jumped up from the ground and struggled to pounce on Pu Ruolan. "You bitch, who are you cursing to have their father die?!"

Before her claws could reach Pu Ruolan's face, Hui Feng immediately seized her wrist.

A crack was heard, and Gao Qiqi immediately let out a pig-like shriek.
