Chapter 3512: 4.1112 Digging Her Own Grave

"Crown Princess, you've finally found time to come! If you didn't come soon..."

Manager Hu lowered his voice and winked at her, "The holy rice, spirit vegetables, and spirit fruits in this shop would probably be sold out again."

Qiao Mu nodded. "I'll send you another batch later."

The old manager immediately grinned, his teeth disappearing from view. "Alright, Crown Princess, please proceed upstairs first."

He then busied himself by arranging for the staff to attend to the Crown Princess and her party.

Qiao Mu, Liyue, Caixiu, and Caiqi were walking up the stairs when they heard footsteps clattering and a fragrant breeze waft down.

Looking up, they saw Zheng Wangfei (Consort of King Zheng), Shi Yongyan, descending the stairs, arm-in-arm with a slender, delicate, and charming woman.

As they met, Zheng Wangfei smiled sweetly and nodded at Qiao Mu. "Crown Princess."

"Greetings, Crown Princess." Shi Yongqian secretly lowered her gaze, concealing a hint of resentment in her eyes, and curtsied.

She had learned her lesson now and didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of the Crown Princess. After the incident at the General's Mansion, Shi Yongqian dared not rise until the Crown Princess bade her to.

Qiao Mu glanced at her, not speaking to bid her rise, but merely staring coldly at Shi Yongqian.

After a period of not seeing her, it seemed her life was quite comfortable, and her cultivation realm appeared to have increased.

She wondered whose great benefits she had received? How had she jumped from a Level 5 Spirit Master to a Level 8 Spirit Master?

She used her spiritual eye to examine Shi Yongqian's body, and a faint sneer curled on her lips.

A body boosted by spiritual medicines, seemingly a Level 8 Spirit Master, but in actual combat, her ability probably remained at Level 5.

Massive amounts of piled-up medicines would not do her body any good; they would only further ruin her body, trapping her in a state of false advancement.

However, Qiao Mu didn't care about any of this, nor did she feel the need to inform Shi Yongqian about it.

Anyway, she could just continue to dig her own grave; she didn't have many days left to live anyway.

Thinking of this, Qiao Mu gave Shi Yongqian another icy glance. She raised her head and strode past Shi Yongqian's half-crouched figure, showing not the slightest bit of consideration for Miss Shi Er.

Shi Yongqian's face immediately flushed with anger. She turned to her older sister, Zheng Wangfei Shi Yongyan, "Sister, look at the Crown Princess's attitude!"

So overbearing, willful, and unruly!

She respectfully greeted her, and the Crown Princess gave her such a reaction. It was utterly infuriating.

Completely unreasonable!

Shi Yongyan also realized by now that the Crown Princess seemed to strongly dislike her second sister.

But then again, it made sense; the little Crown Princess had whipped her second sister the very first time they met. There was no way she'd be fond of her.

At this moment, she didn't know why, but she felt the Crown Princess's gaze on her second sister was incredibly cold, as if containing shattered ice blades, terrifyingly sharp.

Shi Yongyan smiled and patted her second sister's hand. "Don't be angry. That's just the Crown Princess's temperament. She's still young; we'll just get used to it."

Shi Yongqian immediately felt a surge of indignation.

That evening, Shi Yongqian returned home seething with anger. After smashing and throwing things for a long time, she turned to the cowering maid beside her and asked, "Is there any news of Miao Sheng?"

"Not... not yet, Miss."

Shi Yongqian frowned. She had received news that the Crown Princess had brought the Qiao family to the capital. She wondered if the information was true.

Early the next morning, the entrance of the Shi family mansion was surrounded by people.
