Chapter 4226: Make Them Get Out

The next day, after enjoying a day of good food and comfortable lodging at Splendid Mountain Villa on Half Moon Cliff, Her Royal Highness Qiao and her husband didn't return to the city until evening.

Upon receiving the news, the young couple immediately went to the Mu family residence to check on Mu Xingchen.

Looking at his sister's tightly drawn face, Mu Xingchen truly felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"I'm really fine."

"Yesterday was just a minor injury; I've already applied medicine. Look, can you see any wounds at all?"

Mu Xingchen raised his left palm, showing both sides to the little girl, "Doesn't Qiaoqiao know how effective her own healing and hemostatic medicine is?"

The little girl's face grew even more solemn.

Young Master Mu's heart pounded. He felt as if his sister's little face was enacting a grand drama of an impending storm...

"Aoye."

"Aoye is here~"

The little girl blinked, looking at the person who suddenly poked his head through the window.

She said expressionlessly, "Take your men to that guesthouse and drive all the Dragon clan members out of the city. Make them get out."

"Wherever they came from, tell them to roll back there. This Crown Princess refuses to see anyone."

Mu Xingchen was completely bewildered.

Aoye's expression was also blank. He instinctively glanced at his master.

The Crown Prince shot him a look, and Aoye immediately jolted, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, your subordinate will go and do it now."

Are you kidding? What good could come to those who offended their Crown Princess?

Regardless of whether they were from her maternal family or not, with the little Crown Princess's personality, they would be sent packing without delay.

Seeing this, Mu Xingchen quickly tried to persuade her, "Qiaoqiao, Big Brother wasn't mistreated; it was just a minor incident."

Qiao Mu shook her head, turning her eyes to her husband.

Mo Lian reached out and stroked her head, saying in a low voice, "Big Brother, these people seem to be targeting Qiaoqiao."

"They previously detained the Imperial Advisor, wanting Qiaoqiao to meet them."

"Now they've come personally to invite her, repeatedly trying to get Qiaoqiao to go to the sea domain. Isn't that very strange?"

Mu Xingchen was stunned. He thought back again, then hesitated before nodding, "Could it be... they need something from Qiaoqiao?"

Mo Lian nodded. "Precisely. For the past decade or so, they haven't shown any concern about taking you two siblings back."

"Now, the Dragon clan members see you and immediately ask about Qiaoqiao. Isn't that obvious enough?"

Mu Xingchen's face also darkened. "Are they plotting something?"

Darn it!

Wasn't it enough that they made his mother leave her homeland to marry into the imperial capital back then?

Now they want to scheme against his biological sister? Why?!

"We don't know what they're after yet," Mo Lian said faintly. "But the Dragon clan's attitude is indeed very strange."

Anyway, Qiaoqiao had been suspicious of them from the very beginning.

There was never such a thing as unwarranted flattery in this world. They probably thought Qiaoqiao had something profitable about her...

Mu Xingchen angrily slammed the table. "These Dragon clan members are going too far!"

Qiao Mu, however, casually raised her small hand and said faintly, "Human hearts are just like that."

After so many years apart from her maternal family, how much genuine affection could there really be?

Qiao Mu didn't believe it.

People develop feelings for each other through interaction; that saying is truly not wrong.

Niece and nephew?

After not seeing them for over a decade, they suddenly became solicitous, telling her it was due to blood ties and affection?

Heh, did they think she was a naive teenager?
