Chapter 3475: 4.1075 What's the Purpose?

"Qiqi." Zhou Yuan immediately became even more flustered. He quickly stepped forward and put his arm around Gao Qiqi's shoulder, yelling at Qiao Mu and the others with a mix of bluster and inner fear, "You, how can you be so unreasonable?"

Gao Qiqi clutched her broken arm, tears welling up in her eyes, glaring fiercely at Pu Ruolan with resentment.

This woman, who was once worthless in her eyes, now dared to be so insolent because she had attached herself to the Qiao family, to the Crown Princess and Crown Prince.

Pu Ruolan couldn't be bothered to talk to her. She merely cast a mocking glance at her, then walked over to her mother, Qiao Wenxiu.

Zhou Yuan looked at his ex-wife, seething with anger.

Ever since their divorce, this ex-wife had become increasingly outrageous. Now, she even dared to treat his mother-in-law and him coldly, truly incomprehensible.

Qiao Mu's gaze coldly swept over them. "Do you want to confess yourself, or do you want this Crown Princess to use special methods to make you confess?"

Zhou Yuan's eyes darted around slyly, then he cried out, wailing, "Crown Princess, I've been wronged! I truly couldn't make ends meet at home, so I thought of borrowing some spiritual coins from Ruolan to get by."

Pu Ruolan coldly interrupted him. "Does everyone think people are fools? You gathered at the front gate to make a fuss with my aunt and uncle, precisely so that this bitch Gao Qiqi could sneak into the Qiao family from the back gate with her people, right?"

"You little beast, why don't you quickly tell us what you came for?" Qiao Wenxiu's face was ashen with anger.

Today, the mother and daughter had been invited by the Qiao family to discuss matters. Her eldest brother, Qiao Zhongbang, had mentioned that after they moved away from Sikong Star, he would let the two of them live in the Jiayuan Marquisate.

He said that he had left them enough silver, and coupled with the monthly stipend from the imperial court, this amount of spiritual coins would be enough for the mother and daughter to live on. They wouldn't even need to dismiss the household servants; they could just live comfortably.

Qiao Wenxiu and Pu Ruolan were gratefully chatting with Qiao Zhongbang's family when, unexpectedly, that little beast Zhou Yuan came with his mother and others to cause a scene.

And he even insisted on blaming the Qiao family for his father's death, which was simply ridiculous!

When the strong cultivators from the Divine Land attacked, why didn't you stay put at home? You were caught and killed, losing your life and wealth. How is that the Qiao family's fault?

The Qiao family is also a victim, alright?

Their house hasn't even been fully repaired yet.

"The Gao family is a wealthy and influential family. There's no way you'd be short on spiritual coins to spend," Pu Ruolan said sarcastically, then turned to Gao Qiqi and sneered, "Could it be that your father really died, and your family has fallen into decline?"

"Pah, you bitch! What nonsense are you spouting?" Gao Qiqi shrieked sharply, like a fierce ghost, rushing furiously as if to slap Pu Ruolan's face.

But as soon as she raised her arm, it hung limply as if broken. It was sore, painful, and uncomfortable, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Yuan-lang, you must seek justice for me. This shrew, she's truly hateful."

Just as Zhou Yuan was about to erupt, Qiao Mu slightly raised her eyes, and a Purple Forest Guard beside her slapped him across the face without a word.

With that slap, Zhou Yuan lost two teeth, and his face immediately burned with pain. He felt like his tongue was twisting when he tried to speak.

Qiao Mu looked at them with cold eyes. "Profound Truth Talisman."

To deal with such petty individuals who couldn't even reach the Profound Realm, there was no need for a Profound Truth Talisman made of jade.
