Chapter 5183: 5.0935 Can They Still Keep Up the Act?
"Great grace, Saintess! Great grace, Saintess!" A circle of fools continued to kneel and kowtow, creating a chaotic scene at the Qiao residence's entrance. This only made the coldness around Qiao Mu's lips tighten further.
When Crown Prince Mo entered, he initially thought he had walked into the wrong house. These unknown demons and monsters at the entrance, acting out some inexplicable play, completely stifled his shout of "Wife, this husband is late."
"Wife, what's going on, what's going on?" Crown Prince Mo strode through the door, his gaze sweeping coldly across the faces of the guests. Seeing the Crown Prince arrive, everyone quickly knelt and paid their respects, calling out "Your Highness" and "Crown Prince." One particularly quick-witted dignitary promptly explained, "Your Highness, none of us present here caused any trouble. These people at the entrance were brought by Zhaoguang. That immortal-like woman being kowtowed to is precisely Yuan Maoyi, the Saintess of Zhaoguang."
Are you kidding? If the great Crown Prince held a grudge against them, how could they have a good day in the future? They had to explain things clearly. They had simply come obediently to the banquet and to deliver gifts; they absolutely had no other intentions, nor would they dare to. If not for this Saintess of Zhaoguang and her people barging in, the banquet would have been fine.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness is discerning. It was indeed the sudden arrival of the Saintess of Zhaoguang that caused such chaos at the entrance."
"Wife." Crown Prince Mo hastily held his wife's small hand. Seeing her expression, he immediately stiffened his handsome face and angrily demanded, "Who dared to upset the Crown Princess??"
His wife's stoic face was puffed up with anger. On this auspicious day of the hundred-day banquet, who dared to upset his wife? They clearly had a death wish.
Before Cai Xiu could speak, one of the quickest aristocratic ladies already cleared her family's name. "Reporting to Your Highness, this is truly not caused by us guests. We were all celebrating the Qiao residence's young master's birthday properly, when suddenly, Tianyun sent some Hall Master to offer congratulations."
"Then, that Saintess of Zhaoguang forcibly barged in with her people, accusing the Crown Princess of having an exceptionally close relationship with this Tianyun Hall Master, implying she must be involved with Tianyun."
This lady was remarkably eloquent. In just a few sentences, she narrated the entire sequence of events, causing the guests present to nod repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, it truly has nothing to do with us. Your Highness, it's them, they're the ones who made the Crown Princess so angry she couldn't speak."
"This is truly a monstrous act!" The guests cursed in unison.
"These people came to cause trouble at the Qiao residence young master's hundred-day banquet, not to mention delivering two bloody severed fingers to the Crown Princess. Not only that, they even gifted a corpse puppet to the Qiao residence's young master! They're absolutely insane!!"
The Crown Prince grew angrier and angrier as he listened, almost fuming. "You Ba, take these people down for me."
"This Crown Prince wants these people to know one thing: anyone who repeatedly causes trouble at the Qiao residence will die."
They must be bored out of their minds, coming to his wife's family home to cause trouble for no reason. His wife is already working so hard, and even with a big belly, she still has to endure their anger and torment. They absolutely deserve to die!
"Wait, wait! Wait!!" The Saintess of Zhaoguang couldn't help but shriek in alarm. What's going on? Why did the Crown Prince of Shenzhou suddenly return?
