Chapter 3927 4.1527 Mockery Mode

"Concubine." The old wet nurse looked at Yuan Qionger in disbelief, covering her face and crying.

It was impossible for her not to feel hurt.

Nanny Jiang had followed Yuan Qionger for seven or eight years, and she truly believed she had always been diligent and considerate of Yuan Qionger in every way.

But now, Yuan Qionger's unhesitating abandonment felt like a sharp knife plunged into Nanny Jiang's heart.

Qiao Mu glanced at them indifferently. She understood human nature more deeply than anyone.

She found Yuan Qionger's behavior unsurprising.

In her previous life, during the outbreak of the corpse puppets, she had seen many people more heartless than Yuan Qionger.

"Bind her first, then take her up," Qiao Mu instructed calmly.

Yuan Qionger, however, protested with dissatisfaction, "How can you just simply bind her? What's the point of binding her!"

"What if this old woman suddenly retaliates and harms us?"

Mu Dongni impatiently swept a glance at her. "Why are you so talkative? She hasn't turned into a corpse puppet yet! Besides, if she's bound and watched, it's not like she won't be dealt with, right? Can't we just go up first?!"

The Mu family members all nodded in agreement.

Qiao Mu said nothing more, leading them back out the way they came.

Along the way, the expressions of the Mu family disciples were constantly shifting. They would occasionally steal glances at the little Crown Princess's cold face, unsure of what to think.

If one were to say the little Crown Princess was cold and lacked human empathy, she still led people to dig up the underground passage to save them.

But if one were to say she was particularly good to them, that wasn't necessarily true.

Her consistently cold demeanor and rigid small expressions repeatedly showed how much she disliked the Mu family.

Upon crawling out of the messy dry well, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Cang then led everyone to the main hall.

The vast main hall, even with over a thousand people standing in it, didn't feel crowded.

Mu Jingyuan smiled faintly, his tone quite mocking. "This time, it's thanks to Qiao Qiao's arrival. Otherwise, with the elders' cautious nature, they would probably have to hide in that dark stone chamber for a few more days."

By then, who knows when Nanny Jiang's corpse poison would have erupted, possibly infecting many more people.

Mu Cang felt somewhat embarrassed hearing his third son's mockery.

"Reporting to the Crown Princess, Lord Hao Fei, along with Master Pill Cultivator Wang, Master Pill Cultivator Ge, and over ten physicians, have arrived," a Purple Forest Guard hurried to report.

Qiao Mu nodded upon hearing this, swept a glance at the over thousand people in the hall, then turned to the Old Master. "The people from the Heavenly Pill Guild are here. Have everyone go out in batches, and undergo inspection one by one."

"Don't even think about sneaking through," Qiao Mu said coldly.

If someone infected with corpse poison tried to sneak through and it later erupted, who knows how many more people they would harm.

Everyone's expression trembled. Mu Jingxing couldn't help but say furiously, "Even we have to be inspected?"

Qiao Mu's gaze grew colder and colder. She said to the Purple Forest Guard, "Keep an eye on them. If anyone resists inspection, eliminate them directly; no need to report."

"Yes, Crown Princess!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The Crown Princess's words were truly cold, chilling everyone's hearts.

After taking a deep breath, Mu Cang nodded and waved his hand. "Do as the Crown Princess says."

Mu Jingxing sat down in a fit of anger, his eyes wide and fixed on Qiao Mu, seething with resentment.

That hateful little brat!
