My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!

Elderly Lady Qiao could feel her face boiling with shame, but her lips were trembling so much that she could not speak.

It was originally just some family business that could be resolved behind closed doors. Who would have expected this d*mn girl to invite the two most important people in the village? Now, after this disturbance and publicization, she had completely lost all of the good reputation that she had accrued over the last 20 years. Where should she put her pride now? Won’t she be ridiculed to death by the people both inside and outside the village!

“You…” Elderly Lady Qiao pointed at Qiao Mu, entirely caught off guard by her advantageous first move.

“Enough.” Third Great-Grandfather wore a stern expression on his square-shaped face and spoke to Elderly Lady Qiao, née Wang, “Old Five’s Wife, I already warned you two years ago to not interfere too much in the business of your children’s households, and to let them handle it themselves.”

“Since this branch of ours was divided and separated from the main clan and arranged to live in such a small mountain village, it’s already good if we can live our days well. Our children and grandchildren grow older every day, and those who should be divided should be divided so as to let them live their own lives. You can also have a leisurely life. Ever since Old Five passed away, I know that it hasn’t been easy for you, Old Five’s Wife. However, when you have to meddle with every little matter of the younger generation, aren’t you tired?”

“From what I see, Qiaoqiao, this child, is quite good and has good future prospects. She has raised to the ranks of a mystic cultivator at her young age; her future is unlimited,” Old Village Chief also injected. “Look at how you have forced such a good child.”

Elderly Lady Qiao’s lips uncontrollably shuddered from how angry she was. She could not resist refuting, “Third Uncle, Old Village Chief, you don’t know anything. Do you know what this child did two days ago? She ran to Long Gate Inn by herself and violently beat up Miss Liu from Heavenly Dao Sect! People from the Heavenly Dao Sect have come seeking justice with me. I had to deal with them for several days and gave them who knows how many items before I could finally resolve it. After I sent away the powerful Heavenly Dao Sect with great tribulation, I finally found time to visit today. I haven’t even had time to discipline this arrogant child, and you two elders arrived.”

“Grandmother, you clearly came today because of Younger Sis’ business. Why did you pull me into it now? Although the middle-woman, Wu Yanzhen, disappeared, didn’t you directly find that family and settle this sale with them?”

“You—you are spouting nonsense!” Elderly Lady Qiao guiltily cried.

That expression revealed everything to Qiao Mu. She merely swindled the old woman, but who knew this old woman would be so easy to deceive and spilled everything immediately.

“Grandmother, Xiao Lin’er also calls you Grandmother. Yet, you are cheaply selling Younger Sis for that tiny bit of money. When you sleep, aren’t there demons who climb up from hell and crawl to your bed to drag you back to Nine District Purgatory to be punished?” Qiao Mu’s chilly words contained a boundless amount of ghostly aura.

Elderly Lady Qiao shivered from fright.

How could Wei Ziqin not understand after this? She charged forward swiftly and picked up Qiao Lin, who was pulled to stand beside Xu Jiao. She looked at Elderly Lady Qiao and her group, on guard, as she furiously said, “Mother, although our family is poor, we are still far from the point of selling my daughter! Mother, you better put away these thoughts and don’t ever mention sending Lin’er away in front of me!”

“Great, great! Are all of you rebelling against me!” Elderly Lady Qiao angrily pounded her chest and stomped her feet, misery written on her face. “I was doing this with your wellbeing in mind! That child in your belly is coming out soon! How will you raise three children at that time? The burden is already so heavy with two alone, this…”

“Enough!” Third Great-Grandfather shouted.
