Supreme Crazy Wife - Chapter 168

Chapter 168: The Best Defense Is Offense (1)

“Acting Patriarch Xu, the spots for the mystic realm might be tempting, but if we join forces, are you sure we will get them? What if Leng Ruoxue has already given all of them away? Wouldn’t we have worked for nothing then?” Feng Miao said worriedly.

“That’s right. Leng Ruoxue isn’t as concerned about the mystic realm spots as we are,” Ye Ming said angrily. At this point, he was furious. Leng Ruoxue would rather give such important spots to her servants than to the Ye family. Hmph! I won’t let her go.

“Relax, I can guarantee that Leng Ruoxue definitely still has spots in her hand,” Xu Qian said confidently.

“Xu Qian, if we join forces, how are we going to split the mystic realm spots?” This was Shui Zhen’s most pressing concern. The Shui family didn’t have a single mystic realm spot, so he was just as anxious as Xu Qian.

“Of course we’ll split them equally,” Xu Qian said without hesitation.

“So? Have you decided yet?” Xu Qian asked again, his vicious and sharp gaze fixed on the other four people sitting here.

“I can’t decide on this matter.” Feng Miao smiled gently. He was just an idler in the Feng family. How could he decide on such a big matter!

“What about you?” Xu Qian’s gaze turned to the other three people. Of course, he knew that Feng Miao couldn’t decide, so he didn’t take him seriously.

“This is a serious matter. I need to go back and discuss it with the elders before making the final decision,” Huo Yi said after some thought.

Among the Five Great Families, the Ye and Feng families both had spots for the mystic realm. Therefore, Huo Yi knew that their three families were definitely not in a hurry. After all, everything depended on opportunities after entering the mystic realm. Sometimes, having more spots was useless, and you might not necessarily have more opportunities than others.

“I can’t decide now either,” Ye Ming said. He also wanted to go back and discuss with the elders of the family. After all, the Leng family…

“Brother Shui, what about you?” Xu Qian placed his last hope on Shui Zhen and looked at him expectantly. Alas, he didn’t dare to count on those people.

“I have to go back and discuss it too,” Shui Zhen said helplessly.

“In that case, all of you go back and discuss it then. Send me a letter when you’re done,” Xu Qian said helplessly.

“Alright, we’ll take our leave first,” Huo Yi and the others said.

…

In the imperial garden of the imperial palace of the Eastern Lagoon Empire…

Hundreds of flowers were in full bloom in the imperial garden, and their fragrance was delightful. Mo Yingyue was lying comfortably on a recliner and basking in the sun with flowers surrounding her. She was in an extremely good mood.

“Your Majesty, the imperial father-in-law requests an audience,” a maidservant reported softly.

“Didn’t you tell him that I’m resting?” Mo Yingyue frowned in displeasure. After Mo Mingyue had offended Rouxue on the opening day of the Prosperity Pavilion, she had been grounded by the patriarch of the Mo family. Moreover, she knew very well that the Mo family had not been having a good time recently. Many families who usually had close ties with them basically didn’t dare to keep close to the Mo family anymore. Therefore, her days were much better.

“Yes, but the imperial father-in-law…” the maidservant stammered, not knowing how to answer.

“Where is he now?” Mo Yingyue asked indifferently.

“At the Phoenix Algae Palace.”

“Then let’s go back to the palace!” Mo Yingyue stood up from the recliner, adjusted her clothes, and slowly walked toward the Phoenix Algae Palace.

Back in the Phoenix Algae Palace, Mo Yingyue saw her weak father sitting in a chair obediently, and sitting beside him was an old man with a serious expression.

“Grandfather is here too?” Mo Yingyue said somewhat mockingly. This grandfather of hers would never visit unless he needed something. It seemed like he was really forced into a corner this time.

“Yes.” Patriarch Mo raised his eyes slightly as a form of greeting.

“Yingyue, Dad and Grandfather came to see you this time for a very important matter,” Mo Changhai said helplessly. He originally didn’t want to come, but his father forced him to…

“Oh, I wonder what it is?” Mo Yingyue pretended to be confused, but her eyes kept darting to Mo Changhai. Alas, if only Dad could be tougher, he wouldn’t have been suppressed by Uncle all these years. What a pity…

“Erm… Erm…” Mo Changhai didn’t know how to start.

Patriarch Mo glared at his useless eldest son and then said straightforwardly, “I heard that you have a good relationship with Leng Ruoxue?”

“Just average. Why?” Mo Yingyue’s beautiful face was full of puzzlement.

“Last time, Mingyue offended Leng Ruoxue. We wanted to go to the Leng family to apologize, but we were always turned away, so…” Patriarch Mo stared at Mo Yingyue. He had made it clear enough!

“Grandfather, Leng Ruoxue and I are acquainted and have had several dealings. But Leng Ruoxue’s temper is very bad, so it’s useless even if I try to reason with her. She won’t give me face at all,” Mo Yingyue said with some embarrassment, her face full of helplessness.

“Hmph! This is obviously your excuse. Don’t think that your position as the empress is stable. If our Mo family collapses, it won’t do you any good,” Patriarch Mo said threateningly, his face livid with anger.

“Grandfather, even if the Mo family doesn’t collapse, will my position as the empress be secure?” Mo Yingyue asked softly with a smile on her beautiful face.

“What do you mean by this? Are you talking back to me?” Patriarch Mo roared furiously. Fine, this little sheep thinks that her wings have hardened now that she has someone supporting her. How dare she not take me, her grandfather, seriously!

“How dare I talk back to Grandfather? I’m just telling the truth,” Mo Yingyue said indifferently, her face abnormally calm.

“You… I’m just asking you, are you going to take care of this matter or not?” Patriarch Mo roared directly. The veins on his forehead bulged out, and his face darkened.

“It’s not that I don’t care. It’s that I can’t do anything,” Mo Yingyue said nonchalantly. Now that he needs me for something, he looks for me?

“Yingyue, you…” Mo Changhai opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t say it in the end.

“Dad, everyone in Phoenix City knows the temper of the Leng family. Are they so easy to provoke? Mingyue was spoiled by you all, so there’s nothing I can do,” Mo Yingyue said coldly with an expressionless face.
