Qiao Mu’s tiny hand was squeezing the pheasant’s neck, eliciting strings of pitiful gurgling.

“Quiet!” Qiao Mu brusquely beat its head and turned around, intending to leave.

“Qiao Mu!” A harsh shout came from the entrance of the City Lord’s Estate.

Qiao Mu turned her head and saw Qiao Wenjuan walking toward her with large steps. Her brows raised.

It appeared that Qiao Wenjuan became capable of escaping with her life intact after gaining her super speed ability.

After Qiao Wenjuan was kicked out of the group, Qiao Mu could not be bothered to speak with the woman. Hence, Qiao Mu merely glanced at her before expressionlessly clutching the pheasant and continuing to leave.

“Stop right there, Qiao Mu!” Qiao Wenjuan bolted toward Qiao Mu and was about to grab her slim shoulders when Qiao Mu kicked her mercilessly.

Qiao Wenjuan cried out in shock and staggered back a few steps before plopping onto the ground butt-first.

“Wife.” Third Junior Wei ran over to help Qiao Wenjuan up.

Only then did Qiao Mu realize that Qiao Wenjuan wore a married-woman hairstyle. Qiao Wenjuan got married in the two days that she had not seen her?

Wasn’t this a little fast?!

Madam née Niu ran up, her shrewd eyes scanning Qiao Mu up and down. When she saw the child’s red cheeks and bright and pretty clothes, an astute glint flitted through her eyes.

“Isn’t this Old Qiao’s Qiao Mu?” Madam née Niu walked forward with a giggle and tried to pick up Qiao Mu’s hand. “Do you still remember Granny Niu from Wei Clan Village?”

Qiao Mu took a step back with her pheasant, her face wooden. “I don’t know you.”

Madam née Niu’s artificial smile instantly froze.

“Dear child, didn’t our two families meet to discuss your youngest aunt’s marriage a little while ago?” Madam née Niu let out an embarrassed chuckle. “However, you’re still young, so it’s normal for you to be forgetful. Where’s your grandmother? Granny Niu wants to say hello to your grandmother.”

Based on this child’s clean and pretty appearance, her days must be quite decent.

Meanwhile, their Wei Family had a perilous escape. Both human and donkey were tired, but they did not even have a place to stay. What was a better time than this to mooch from their in-laws?

“Miss Qiao, did the commotion at the City Lord’s Estate last night disturb your rest?” The scholar, Zhang Yan, came over and asked with a gentle expression.

Yesterday night, Concubine Liu’s scoundrel second nephew had caused a giant uproar. In his anger, the city lord nearly kicked Concubine Liu and her whole family out of Xijiu City.

The patriarch of the Liu Family tied up his second son and knelt in front of the City Lord’s Estate to beg for mercy while Concubine Liu sobbed and whimpered the whole night, causing the entire City Lord’s Estate to be in a terrible mess all night long.

Such a large commotion must have affected the Qiao Estate half a street away at least a little bit.

Zhang Yan looked at the child apologetically.

“No.” Qiao Mu shook her head. “You worried too much, Mr. Zhang. We rested quite well.”

“That’s good.” Zhang Yan nodded with a smile.

Only

Madam née Niu’s gaze shot between Zhang Yan and Qiao Mu inquiringly, sparks coming out of her eyes.

This brat, Qiao Mu, was actually so familiar with the city lord’s personal scholar. It appeared there was hope for their Wei Family to gain some benefits!

“Um…”

“Mr. Zhang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back now.” Qiao Mu nodded at Zhang Yan without waiting for Madam née Niu to speak and turned to leave.

“You!” Seeing how rude the brat was, Madam née Niu was livid with anger.

Why would Qiao Mu bother with her? She grasped her gurgling pheasant and headed home.

“Isn’t this Sister Ziqin’s Qiaoqiao?” A dainty voice drifted to Qiao Mu’s ears, causing her face to turn to ice in the blink of an eye.
