No matter how he wanted to get close to his daughter, he couldnât stand that cold face!
Mu Jingfeng was sullen. His mood sank when he thought of that cold face that resembled her motherâs.
...
The mother and daughter were the same. They werenât likable!
With this disturbance, Mu Jingfeng didnât feel like eating anymore. He left after placating Mu Qingya some more.
The servant girl Conglu stood on the side. She couldnât resist wringing her hands, and she hesitated to speak.
Mu Qingya lifted her teacup and turned to look at her with a spurious smile. âJust say what you have to say. You donât find it uncomfortable holding it in?â
âMadam, this servant does not understand.â
âWhat is there to not understand?â
âThat crown prince consort treats you and the eldest young lady like this. Why are you still protecting her and treating her so well?â
Mu Qingya sighed. âPut yourself in her shoes. That child lost her mother from a tender age and lived on Sikong Planet for so many years. She only just learned of her family background and found her father, but the family head⊠sigh. Sister Chuyun was such a prideful person. Her childrenâs moral character and natural gift will not be lacking. I truly hope that they can resume good relations between father and daughter and undo all misunderstandings.â
âBut she has not regarded you, Madam, with any concern at all! Look at her. She brought a memorial tablet to slap Madamâs face! Right now in the entire capital, in the various large clans and sects, everyone is laughing at you. You have been the lady of the house for so many years, yet you have to lower your head to the first wife. No matter how capable you may be, you are still only the second wife of the Mu Clanâs family head!â
âShut up!â A nanny beside them berated, âConglu, I see that you are getting more and more impudent.â
âConglu is only feeling sorry for Madam.â The servant girl wailed while stomping her feet.
âAlright.â Mu Qingya helplessly grasped Congluâs hand and patted it. She glanced at the nanny next to her. âNanny, donât blame this little girl. She is thinking of me and feels sorry for me, but I truly do not feel aggrieved at all. Donât worry. In my view, even though the crown prince consort may be cold, she is polite and not narrow-minded. We cannot be rash and must take things slowly. She will one day know that we are all sincerely treating her well.â
âI donât dare get close to her. Iâm afraid that she will misunderstand that as me having bad intentions.â Mu Qingya sighed and said, âBut I can see that the child is only a bit more sensitive and guarded. She truly is a good child. It will be fine as long as you donât provoke her.â
âAfter we spend more time interacting with each other, she will certainly know how great her family is.
Conglu closed her mouth and did not say anymore. Beside them, Nanny Qiu also nodded with a smile. âNo matter what other people say, with the patriarch and the family headâs support, Madam will forever be the Mu Clanâs lady of the house. There is no need to be concerned with those wagging tongues.â
Mu Qingya shook her head with a smile.
A boy servant hastily rushed in and said, âMadam, all the disciples in the clan have heard that the crown prince consort has barged into Wind Chasing Court. They all ran over to see the bustle.â
Mu Qingyaâs expression instantly turned grave. âSheer foolishness!â
***
Qiao Mu did not know that her barging into Wind Chasing Court had alarmed the entire Mu Clan.
Right now, she was currently having a staring contest with that red-furred tiger.
âRoar!â
âRoar!!!â The little white squirrel blocked in front of Qiao Mu. It snarled as it fixed its black beady eyes guardedly on the humongous tiger.
