Wei Ziqin looked at her daughter and held her hands as she said, “Actually, it was me who brought your Aunt Wen back.”

“When I went out yesterday, I ran into her on the streets. She was being chased and bullied by two evil tyrants from the western district and was in a sorry state,” Wei Ziqin explained. “Mother thought that it was uneasy for a girl like her to be by herself. She has a mild personality and doesn’t even dare to speak loudly. Plus, she was sobbing and begging for Mother to take her in, so Mother was softhearted and relented.”

“Did Mother do something inconsiderate? Qiaoqiao, what happened earlier? Why did you...” ‘...react so violently?’

Qiao Mu nestled her head in her mother’s arms and shook her head. Her voice was muffled as she glumly said, “Mother, it’s nothing. I just... don’t like outsiders injecting into our family.”

“Silly girl. Mother wishes for you to be happy. Since you don’t like Ruwan...” Wei Ziqin smiled and patted her daughter’s back.

Qiao Mu did not hear the rest of her mother’s words. She had already drowned in her own thoughts. In truth, she did not plan to act against Wen Ruwan originally, which was why she had ignored that woman when she saw her at the City Lord’s Estate before.

As long as she obediently and tactfully stayed far away from the Qiao Family, Qiao Mu was too lazy to waste the energy to deal with such an insignificant ant and did not mind sparing this weak white daisy.

However, from the current looks of it, the gears of fate never gave up.

Wen Ruwan secretly approached their family again and just had to ceaselessly jump around in front of her.

Since you are trying so hard to serve yourself on a silver platter to be thrashed, don’t blame her for being cruel and vicious and smothering this flower!

This woman would not live past three days anyway...

When it was time for dinner, Qiao Mu claimed sickness and did not attend, lacking the desire to look at that pretentious, little white daisy.

No matter how she jumped around to make herself known, she was a dead person, so there was no need to throttle her.

As soon as Xiao Lin’er heard that her sister was back though, she kept making a big fuss about wanting to “eet dinner with Sister.”

Wei Ziqin had no choice but to send her younger daughter to Qiao Mu.

The next day, Qiao Mu received the City Lord’s Estate’s invitation for a dinner banquet and gladly accepted it.

The lucrative harvest from the Qinghe Town trip made City Lord Gu exceptionally joyous. His Highness the Crown Prince’s gracing them with his presence at the banquet, in particular, made City Lord Gu overly excited. He was sputtering the whole night.

Every member of the Qinghe Town mission also attended this banquet.

When Qiao Mu did not see Liu Yexin at the banquet, she did not ask about it. Liu Yexin was but a mere passerby to her, so she was unimportant.

In the middle of the banquet, the crown prince left with Qiao Mu in his arms. City Lord Gu rushed after them when he saw this.

“The things are placed in the storeroom on the east side. Please follow me, Your Highness,” City Lord Gu reverently said.

Hidden Flower and He Tian met each other’s eyes as they followed the trio.

As expected, Their Highness incredibly cared about the little miss.

Gu Qingfeng ordered a servant to open the storeroom. The supplies piled inside caused the little miss’ eyes to noticeably brighten.

She had wasted more than half of her bows and arrows back in Qinghe Town. The weapons in this storeroom doubled that amount, so it was perfect for replenishing her stock.

The crown prince turned to say to Gu Qingfeng, “You may leave.”

Gu Qingfeng bobbed his head in agreement, immensely glad that he had befriended this little ancestor earlier.

After a bow, Gu Qingfeng said to Qiao Mu with a smile before leaving, “Miss Qiao’s rewards for this mission will be sent to your estate tomorrow.”

“Your Highness, this official will excuse himself now.”
