My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2603

2603 The Mu Clan Is in a Dilemma
“You!” Mu Jingxing was stifled. He glared at Mu Xingchen and couldn’t even talk.

“Xingchen, can’t you go persuade her?”

“Did you see her look at me at all just now? Did she want to talk to me?” Mu Xingchen hung his head in melancholy. He walked outside dejectedly. “Let us go back first. We have to first gather those resources.”

“What?” Mu Jingxing jumped out at once. He picked up the list of items and nearly shredded it with his palm.

Mu Xingchen snatched it over and said, “I feel that Younger Sister is being serious. She really will send people over to collect the items tonight.”

“If you do not want the Mu Clan to lose face even more, do as she say.”

“There is so much! Why should we?” Mu Jingyuan had originally followed his third brother Mu Jingyuan over to repair relations with Qiao Mu, yet who knew that this little lass would be this aggravating.

Mu Jingxing was now fuming in wrath. He had long forgotten about his original intentions to harmoniously get along.

After half an hour.

The two of them returned to the Mu Clan and presented the list of items. They also gave an account of what had happened.

This of course made all the elders furious.

The fifth brother Mu Jingyang had a short temper. He smacked the table and shouted, “I’ll go kill this unfilial brute! How dare she make such a request?”

“Fifth Uncle! I will not let you off if you harm even a hair on my younger sister’s body!” Mu Xingchen shouted back.

Mu Jingyang smacked his lips. “I, I’m just saying. What are you getting anxious with me about?”

“You cannot say it either!” Mu Xingchen was angry.

Mu Jingyang pursed his lips and sat back down moodily.
Mu Jingfeng sat silently in the chief seat. He did not say anything for quite a while.

“Family Head, we will do whatever you say!”

“We definitely cannot concede to this?”

“Why should Madam and Eldest Young Lady go welcome her with three kneels and nine kowtows?”

“The eldest young lady is one of the most outstanding talisman practitioners among the Mu Clan’s younger generation. She cannot suffer this humiliation!”

“That’s right!”

“That’s right!”

Everyone was talking all at once. They were glowering and filled with indignation.

Mu Xingchen scoffed, “Sure. We will just be punished with death.”

When Mu Xingchen said it like this, everyone ceased their activities.

They also remembered the emperor’s edict.

It was written clearly on the edict that if they did not welcome this little ancestor back in five days and announce her identity to the world, their entire clan would be executed.

Everybody inhaled and then exhaled deeply. They turned to look at Family Head Mu.

Family Head Mu was silent for a while before saying, “Prepare all the items on the list first.”

Everybody’s teeth ached when they heard this.

Elder Qing couldn’t resist protesting, “Family Head, if we give out all the resources on this list, the Mu Clan will lose a fifth of its resources.”

“Just these resources make up a fifth?” Mu Jingyuan couldn’t resist mocking, “Then the entire Mu Clan’s accumulation over a millenium is too cheap.”

Elder Qing’s face turned red. He instantly couldn’t speak.

This was such a hard faceslap.

Mu Jingyuan asked coldly, “Humph, you can’t bear to give out just this bit of resources? Qiaoqiao has lived so many years outside, lacking food and clothing. Do any of you know what kind of lifestyle she and her mother have been living? I even feel that just this is too little!”
