Chapter 3519: 4.1119 Qiao Qiao's Heart

Wei Ziqin came out of the hall to greet her, her eyes curving into smiles as she saw her daughter skipping over.

"Why are you back again?" she said, but her arms instinctively embraced her daughter, taking the small bundle she was carrying.

"It's too boring alone in the Eastern Palace; eating even feels dull!" Qiao Mu shook her head and burrowed into her mother's embrace. "Qiao Qiao misses Mom."

Her mother's embrace was still the warmest. At home, there was no deception or backstabbing, only the sincere smiles of her entire family.

Unlike the Mu family, who spent their days trying to fathom her thoughts, which was truly laughable.

They didn't know that Qiao Qiao's heart was actually very simple.

Whoever treated her well, she would return with immense sincerity, treating them even better...

Wei Ziqin was so delighted her mouth couldn't close. She reached out and poked her daughter's forehead. "You're already married, yet you still come to your mother to act spoiled all day."

"Even married, I'm still Mom's daughter," Qiao Mu said, looking up at her mother.

"Yes, yes, yes," Wei Ziqin said with a smile, pulling her into the dining hall. Just then, her second uncle and the others came in through a side door, and everyone looked happy.

"Qiao Qiao's back."

"How long are you planning to stay this time?"

"About ten days to half a month," Qiao Mu replied.

Caixiu, who was following behind, couldn't help but mutter, "His Majesty is going to have a headache again."

A daughter-in-law constantly running back to her maiden home from the palace truly caused concern.

Wei Ziqin chuckled, "Won't the Emperor say anything if you keep running out?"

"He's busy with a pile of things; he has no time to care about me," Lord Qiao Qiao snorted lightly.

Madam Ren smiled and invited them to sit. "Sister-in-law, it's good that Qiao Qiao is back. There's not much to do alone in the Eastern Palace anyway."

Qiao Mu nodded vigorously, "Eating alone, even dragon meat isn't interesting."

Wei Ziqin couldn't help but laugh softly. The family enjoyed their dinner in joyful harmony.

Meanwhile, at the Mu family, Mu Jingfeng paced back and forth in his room several times, constantly looking back at the door.

"Patriarch." Mu Liang's voice brought a slight look of joy to Mu Jingfeng's face.

"Come in," Mu Jingfeng turned to Mu Liang, a pleased expression on his face. "What did the Crown Princess say?"

"The Crown Princess said nothing, only accepted the letter and dismissed this subordinate."

"What?" Mu Jingfeng's eyes narrowed slightly. "Could it be that the punishment was too light and still not to her liking?"

But Mu Rouxuan's cultivation had been abolished, and her wrists broken. She would be a cripple from now on, unable even to draw talismans!

Given this, it still wasn't to her liking?

Did she want him to order Mu Rouxuan killed?

A sharp glint appeared in Mu Jingfeng's eyes.

"How's the investigation into the Shi family matter coming along?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, the Shi family mansion is covered by a triple-layer confinement, rebound, and restraint talisman array. Most people can only detect the confinement layer."

"Such a technique," a fervent glint appeared in Mu Jingfeng's eyes. "Can you confirm if it was the Crown Princess's doing?"

"It should be the Crown Princess's doing," Mu Liang nodded blandly. "After all, there are few people in the world with such a unique talisman crafting technique."

Mu Jingfeng couldn't help but clench his fists.

This daughter, she absolutely had to return to the Mu family. They absolutely couldn't allow such a genius to remain outside!

Although this daughter had always been at odds with him, no matter what, even if it required resorting to means, she had to be brought back to the family!

This matter still needed long-term planning. Mu Jingfeng now regretted having such a strained relationship with his daughter back then!

If he had known this, he should have treated her better.
