Qiao Mu blinked once, then twice. Suddenly, she trotted up to Pu Ruolan and Gao Qiqi.
All the young sirs present twitched their mouths upon seeing the crown prince consort’s movements.
Just as expected, the young crown prince consort’s antics were killingly funny whenever she intervened.
After she finished bestowing three sound slaps on Gao Qiqi’s face, she ignored the dumbfounded Gao Qiqi.
Instead, the young crown prince consort turned to her older cousin and inquired in confusion, “Older Cousin, since she is inviting you to slap her over and over again, why haven’t you?”
“Pfft.” The hand with which Situ Yi was holding his folding fan paused.
As if immobilized there, Gao Qiqi was dumbstruck for several seconds before she started shrieking.
The young crown prince consort suddenly brandished her hand, scattering a handful of powder at Gao Qiqi’s face.
Everyone nearby backed away in fright upon seeing this, afraid that they would get caught in the crossfire and get this unidentified powder on themselves.
“Ah? Aba! Aba, Aba-aba!” When Gao Qiqi opened her mouth to speak, she discovered that she had been poisoned mute. She couldn’t speak at all, only able to utter some basic aba-abas.
She looked at Qiao Mu in horror. Because her facial muscles were shuddering in fear, the three pounds of powder plastering her face sprinkled down nonstop.
“Aba-aba! Aba-aba.” Gao Qiqi grasped Zhou Yuan’s arm and shook it vigorously.
Zhou Yuan immediately appeared fierce while being cowardly at heart, shouting, “What have you people done to Qiqi?”
Zhou Yuan’s mom also shrieked, “The Qiao Family is too unreasonable! As the saying goes, destroying ten temples is better than wrecking a single marriage! You people, you people actually, every one of you actually egged on my daughter-in-law to run away from home. Right now, you are also even treating our Qiqi like this!”
Before the young crown prince consort could do anything, a chubby bald little monk popped out from the side and started scolding in a huff, “Old Benefactress, your words are incorrect! Why do you have to come destroy our temple when your own daughter-in-law ran away? You are simply unruly, eccentric, and utterly unjustifiable!”
Zhou Yuan’s mom looked in bewilderment at the little monk that had suddenly popped out.
Before she could start wailing again, Qiao Mu flitted up to them and flicked out a dozen ebony immobilization talismans with a flash of blue light.
“Freeze, freeze, freeze!” After the circle of talismans descended upon them, aside from those two body cultivators whose cultivation was on par with hers who broke free after a brief struggle, the others had been immobilized on the spot into various eccentric poses.
Qiao Mu waved her hand. “Carry them all out.”
“Yes, Crown Prince Consort.” The Qiao Family servants swarmed over and either hoisted or dragged the sculptures outside. While carrying out the people from the Zhou Family, they even gave them several hard pinches in passing.
Gao Qiqi looked in terror at those Qiao Family servants who came to carry her, and she got thrown out the marquis’s estate’s main door without any resistance.
“Throw them out further away, they’re such an annoyance.” After instructing this, Qiao Mu turned to look at those two Gao Family body cultivators who had stiffened there. “What? You want to stay for food?”
The two body cultivators observed her, and then one of them swept the crowd swiftly with his gaze. “The young miss is a talisman practitioner, correct.”
Qiao Mu brandished her fair hand, and a thunder spirit talisman appeared in her hand. “Seems like you guys want to have a go at it.”
“Very well.” Qiao Mu nodded, and then she cast Mu Jingrui and his lackey Old Bai an electrifying glance.
“I’ll let you broaden your horizons.”
