Chapter 3486: 4.1086 The Crown Princess Returns Home!

Qiao Qiao packed her small bundle, carrying a pile of things, and instructed her attendants to take her back to the Qiao residence on Chang Le North Street.

When Qiao Qiao arrived home, her family had just gotten up and were having breakfast in the dining hall. Hearing that Qiao Qiao was back, they quickly ran out to greet her. They saw the young girl standing in the courtyard bathed in the morning light, her small face stern as she directed the accompanying servants to carry boxes inside.

Wei Ziqin immediately smiled upon seeing her, coming forward to embrace her daughter. "My dear girl, why are you here so early? Didn't I tell you to get some good rest?"

"Mom, I'm moving back for a few days!" Qiao Qiao's single sentence made everyone exchange glances.

Miss Qiao then instructed people to carry the boxes to her own courtyard. When they returned yesterday, they had already divided the courtyards. Her Pear Blossom Courtyard was right next to her parents' courtyard, a bit smaller, but it was the most exquisite little courtyard in the entire residence.

Wei Ziqin blinked, then looked back at her husband. Both subtly sensed that the young girl seemed to be in a fit of pique. Hmm, what happened? And where's little Mo?

Qiao Zhongbang winked at his wife, signaling her to quickly go ask their daughter what was wrong.

Wei Ziqin shot him a glance, then stepped forward and took Qiao Mu's small hand, asking with a smile, "Qiao Qiao. You're welcome to stay as many days as you like, but... where's little Mo? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"He didn't come home last night!" Qiao Mu was absolutely fuming. "He went to pick up a woman, didn't come back all night! He said he'd be back in half an hour, and Qiao Qiao waited until breakfast was cold, but he was nowhere to be seen!"

"What??" The entire Qiao family, including Second Uncle Qiao and Little Huzi who had rushed over, couldn't help but exclaim.

This little Mo was utterly unreliable! How could he leave Qiao Qiao at home just to pick up another woman?

"Absolutely outrageous!" Both Qiao Zhongbang and Qiao Zhongxing grew indignant. "Where is he? Second Uncle is going to 'reason' with him (beat him up)."

Second Uncle Qiao said "reason," but his eyes clearly conveyed his intention to beat up young Mo.

Qiao Qiao pouted her lips and snorted. "Who knows where he is now?"

With that, she angrily directed people to move her belongings into her Pear Blossom Courtyard. She waited indignantly for a while longer. Around noon, she only received a trembling message from Tong: His Highness said he would be back later and told the Crown Princess to have lunch by herself.

Qiao Mu immediately slammed the door shut on him and, with a flicker of her figure, entered the Peach Garden Star.

Poor Crown Prince Mo arrived at the Qiao family's residence in the afternoon. When he returned to the Eastern Palace and learned that the little Crown Princess had stormed back to her family's home, he secretly groaned in distress and immediately rushed to the Qiao family's house without delay.

He almost got the door slammed in his face! Fortunately, his mother-in-law truly took pity on him, the poor little thing, and with a wink and a nod, had Cai Xiu open the back door to secretly let him in...

Mo Lian went to the Pear Blossom Courtyard and found that Qiao Qiao wasn't there at all. He immediately knew that the little one must have angrily retreated into the Peach Garden Star, probably to go into closed-door cultivation.

He groaned again, cursing his unreliable old man and his ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart... If his father hadn't insisted on discussing the matter of Huiping Village with him, he wouldn't have been delayed so long in returning to see his wife. And now, his precious little wife was unhappy!
