My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2617
2617 The Qiao Who Insults Heaven and Earth
Mu Jingfeng grasped her palm. “Qingya, you must feel aggrieved.”
“I do not, my lord.” Mu Qingya said with a smile, “For my lord, for the harmony and prosperity of our entire Mu Clan, Qingya does not feel aggrieved no matter what I need to do.”
“Once Sister comes back, Qingya can also step down from the position of the lady of the house.”
“Don’t speak nonsense.” Displeasure flitted across Mu Jingfeng’s eyes. “What is good about her managing household affairs. It’s not like she wasn’t lady of the house before. Yet did she manage anything?”
“Besides, she has gone missing for so many years. She is out of touch with the current circumstances in the Divine Province, so even if she comes back, it’s unknown how long she would need to adjust to life here.”
“You are the lady of the house, and no one can take that away. Rest assured. There is me to back you!”
Mu Qingya looked at him worriedly, “My lord, you must not nurse a grievance toward Sister and Qiaoqiao. Otherwise, I will have committed a grave sin.”
“Furthermore, Qiaoqiao is still young. She must have suffered a lot growing up outside. It is fair and reasonable for her to be resentful. As long as we are magnanimous…”
“Did I want her to suffer? Her own mother caused it!” Mu Jingfeng waved his hand and stopped Mu Qingya from speaking. “Don’t speak up for her. I know the way the mother and daughter act very well.”
Mu Qingya choked on her words. She wanted to keep persuading Family Head Mu when they heard someone report outside, “Family Head, Madam, the eldest young lady has returned.”
Mu Rouxuan marched inside angrily. She cut to the chase and relayed what Qiao Mu said this afternoon.
This instantly provoked the wrath that Mu Jingfeng had only just suppressed.
He smashed the short table beside him to bits. He said angrily, “This unfilial daughter!”
Mu Qingya was mediating, “Rouxuan, don’t make the situation sound more grave than it is. It wasn’t like this yesterday. Did you do something to infuriate your younger sister?”
Mu Rouxuan flared up in anger. “How could I have infuriated her? If I dared say anything bad to her, her man would have smacked me dead.”
“Mom, you didn’t see the situation inside Butterfly Pavilion. His Highness the Crown Prince did not allow me to say any more than I needed to. I could only sit there and listen to these maddening words.”
“That eldest young sir from the Qin Estate was also standing on her side and parroting her words. You didn’t see! Your daughter cannot even say a single word in front of Younger Sister.”
“I feel that Younger Sister’s bad habit of insulting Heaven, Earth, and anything in between is a result of Brother-in-Law spoiling her! You did not see how Brother-in-Law was coddling her!” Mu Rouxuan poured out all her grievances. Only then did she feel much better.
Ever since encountering Qiao Mu, she had never been in a good mood.
She could not pinpoint the reason she disliked this girl. It was probably because of the little fellow’s extremely bad attitude.
She just felt stifled during this period of time. There was a fire smoldering inside her without release.
She really must have been unlucky for eight lifetimes to have encountered such an anomaly.
Smoke fumed from Mu Jingfeng’s head when he finished listening to his daughter’s grievances!
“She truly is taking a mile when given an inch! She truly thinks the Mu Clan can be trampled on.”
Mu Qingya dissuaded in worry, “My lord, there are things that can be discussed. What kind of enmity can exist between father and daughter?”
“What else is there to say? This unfilial daughter is antagonizing me!”
“Mu Liang.”
“Mu Liang is here.”
“Go summon the elders. I am calling a meeting of the core Mu Clan members in 10 minutes.”
