Chapter 3954: 4.1554 Peerless

Smack! Another stone struck Lin Muer's shoulder, this one even more forceful than the last, causing her to stagger back a few steps.

"Ah!" Lin Muer clutched her shoulder, which was already showing reddish bruises, and the whip in her hand clattered to the ground. Her reddened gaze darted around before fixing on the small, poker-faced figure in the crowd. Frantically, she pointed at Qiao Mu and shrieked, "It's you again!!"

Qiao Mu: ?

Qiao Zhongbang and the others exchanged bewildered glances. They knew their daughter hadn't made a move; they were standing right beside her and hadn't seen her do anything. Besides, the Crown Prince had already ordered a shadow guard to deal with this woman, so why would the Crown Princess bother to exert herself further to punish this arrogant woman?

Not every fool got the chance to be disciplined by Qiaoqiao Daren. This woman, a spoiled guest from the Lin family of Rongcheng, seemed to suffer from delusions of grandeur, constantly picking fights with beggars. What had beggars done to her family? Was it really necessary to act like this?

Qiao Mu lowered her gaze, merely glancing over, too lazy to even scold the woman aloud. She had recognized this woman earlier; the Lin family of Rongcheng left a truly terrible impression. What kind of people did that family produce? And they dared to boast about coming to the imperial capital to develop? How could they possibly succeed?

Anyway... her husband would teach her how to behave. There was no need for Qiaoqiao Daren to interfere.

"How outrageous," Mo Lian said, his face cold, as he waved his hand. The shadow guard immediately nodded and swiftly appeared before Lin Muer.

It was only then that Lin Muer felt a sense of impending doom. She glared warily at the shadow guard in front of her, continuously exclaiming in alarm, "What are you doing??"

The shadow guard didn't bother to respond. He simply grabbed her arm, lifting her like a small chicken. With a twist of his hand, he spun Lin Muer around several times on the spot.

Lin Muer immediately felt completely overwhelmed by his strength, unable to breathe. After several dizzying spins, she felt quite unwell.

"Don't you know who I am?" Lin Muer shrieked. "I... ah!"

Before she could utter another word, a stone struck her mouth again. Disaster! It even knocked out one of her teeth.

Lin Muer stared in horror at her tooth on the ground, then shrieked furiously, "I'll kill you all! I'll kill you all! How dare you... Ah!"

Another stone hit her stomach, causing Lin Muer to double over in pain. Her resentful eyes fixed directly on Qiao Mu's direction.

Qiao Mu, however, had now realized that the nimble stones were clearly coming from behind. The little one tilted her head and looked back, seeing a flash of vibrant red clothing sweep past the crowd, stopping with a smiling flourish in front of Lin Muer.

The woman appeared to be in her twenties, clad in striking red, exuding a heroic aura. Her bright eyes held a hint of mocking amusement, and the corners of her mouth turned slightly upward as she stood boldly before Lin Muer.

"Princess Wushuang?" the common folk in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.

"Has Princess Wushuang returned from the border city?"

"Oh, no wonder her moves are so swift and skillful. It's no surprise if it's Princess Wushuang."

Qiao Mu blinked, curiously glancing at the woman in red, who suddenly turned her head and waved at her and Mo Lian with a smile.
