Novel Full Chapter 869: Qianqian Unleashing Her Dark Side
Mu Boming’s face was enshrouded in a dark haze.
Family Head Mu looked coldly at Crown Prince Mo and declared, “This one’s young daughter was rude to the crown prince consort first, but her crime doesn’t deserve death! Will His Highness please pardon her offense.”
While withdrawing the powerful energy that he had aimed at Mu Qianqian, Mo Lian also coolly cast Family Head Mu a glance. “Family Head Mu, your daughter has affronted Our wife over and over again. According to the rules, she would need to be punished severely.”
Mu Boming’s expression changed, and he looked up at the king and Queen Zhao who were seated up above.
The king was somewhat embarrassed. Afterall, he had just accepted such a generous gift of two protective talismans from Family Head Mu, yet his treasured son was now about to make an example of Family Head Mu’s daughter. This didn’t seem too magnanimous no matter how one looked at the situation.
The old king quickly gave a dry laugh, and he sent his son a look while mediating, “It’s just some small disputes between young girls. It’s fine, everything’s fine.”
However, when he saw his daughter-in-law looking up at him with an icy gaze, the old king felt his heart beating like a drum, and he quickly added, “Um, Family Head Mu, Miss Mu should still be taught certain etiquette and manners again. In the future, it is best to not be so impudent in front of the crown prince consort.”
Mu Boming responded affirmatively in a sullen voice.
At this point, there was no need to continue the banquet any further.
The king was incredibly disheartened, and after hastily placating everyone, he dismissed the banquet with a long sigh.
Heavens! If this banquet were to continue, who knew how much more trouble would arise!
Mo Lian personally sent Qiao Mu and her family back to their estate before heading back to the palace. In the middle, he instructed Huifeng, “Send people to keep an eye on Qiao Dongbo’s family. If they dare play any tricks, then…”
Mo Lian motioned a gesture to kill them on the spot.
Huifeng nodded to accept his order.
On the other end, just as Mu Qianqian boarded the carriage after exiting the palace gates, she vomited out a mouthful of blood, unable to stifle the roiling qi and blood in her heart any longer.
This freaked Madam Mu out so badly that she shrieked.
Mu Qianqian didn’t want to speak to her mother anymore, so she simply shut her eyes and pretended to have fainted.
Mu Boming had mounted a horse outside, and when he heard his wife shriek from inside the carriage, his eyes flashed in great impatience. He then struck his horse with the whip and ordered, “Send the madam and the young miss back to the estate.”
That night.
Mu Qianqian, who was lying flat on a large bed made of camphor wood, abruptly shot her eyes open. She got off the bed like a wandering ghost, and after lighting up a stick of incense in a corner of the room, she sat in front of the mirror to fiddle with her head of beautiful hair.
Outside, besides the sliver of moonlight shining on the window frame, it was pitch dark.
“Hehehe.” A sinister laugh was suddenly heard behind her back.
“Eldest Miss Mu, for what reason have you summoned this old man this late at night?” As if it had come from the underworld, that voice was fleeting and raspy, and it was so gloomy that it didn’t seem human.
Mu Qianqian fixed her eyes on the reflection in the mirror of that very short shadow shrouded underneath a hooded cloak.
She had never seen this person’s true appearance.
“Black Cat, I promise you. I’ll help you steal that supreme-grade summoning talisman enshrined in the ancestral hall.”
The shadow was evidently excited, and his voice had even started trembling. “Truly?”
“I have a condition in exchange!” Mu Qianqian abruptly stood up in front of the mirror. Underneath the moonlight, her small face had already slightly contorted together.
“I heard that you are able to draw a particularly amazing and special curse.”
“What?” The raspy voice questioned.
“Soul exchange curse!”
Hm?
The shadow was also very obviously shocked by Mu Qianqian’s words.
