Chapter 2721 - 2721 State Preceptor

2721 State Preceptor

Furthermore, even if she retraced her steps by ten thousand paces, the weight of witnesses and undeniable physical evidence remained. The actions of Juxian and Meixian, the two servant girls who had entered through the window, were undeniably connected to her.

Concubine s.h.i.+ had successfully solidified her position within the family, birthing two daughters and naturally securing Mu Jingfengs favor.

Qiao Mu paid little attention to the spectacle involving Concubine s.h.i.+ and Mu Jingfengs pleas for forgiveness. Without hesitation, she led the Crown Prince towards the awaiting carriage stationed in front of Magnolia Court.

Just before embarking, she remarked dispa.s.sionately, Dealing with such a wicked woman through severe punishment is far from excessive. If Family Head Mu finds it difficult to act against her and the situation warrants, I can a.s.sign someone to undertake the task.

Both Mu Jingfeng and s.h.i.+ Huixin, situated atop the summit, were stunned.

s.h.i.+ Huixin was taken aback, and even Mu Jingfeng atop his peak couldnt antic.i.p.ate such ruthless resolve from the young crown prince consort. To think she would advocate for beating s.h.i.+ Huixin to death over a seemingly trivial matter?

Mu Jingfengs countenance darkened. Concubine s.h.i.+ has committed a transgression, but her offense does not warrant a death sentence! Furthermore, the Crown Prince has already

Huifeng.

Crown Prince Consort.

Have Concubine s.h.i.+ brought forth and subjected to a two-hundred-strike caning.

For a frail concubine, enduring two hundred strikes with the Viscounts cane was akin to invoking the specter of mortality.

Though Concubine s.h.i.+ possessed a modic.u.m of self-defense cultivation, the individuals responsible for carrying out the caning hailed from the Hidden Night Pavilion, all accomplished spiritual cultivators ranked at level-11 or beyond. With this formidable group at the helm, the notion of enduring two hundred Viscounts cane strikes appeared insurmountable, perhaps even surviving a hundred proving doubtful.

What madness is this? Such actions are unconscionable! Concubine s.h.i.+s voice trembled with terror. Her gaze fixed upon Mu Jingfeng, desperation evident. Master, Master, intercede for me, I implore you!

Concubine!

Concubine Mu Rouyan and Mu Rouyun exchanged panicked glances and hurriedly moved forward to retrieve their distressed mother.

Huifeng swiftly positioned himself before them, sword unsheathed, and issued a stern command, All onlookers, stand clear! Do not hinder official proceedings.

As the carriage set into motion, Concubine s.h.i.+s anguished cries echoed in the air.

Unmoved by the commotion, Qiao Mu coldly drew the carriage curtain, her emotions concealed.

Qiaoqiao. Crown Prince Mo enveloped the young girl in his arms and gently shook her delicate frame. Please dont be upset.

Truthfully, Qiao Mu was harboring some resentment towards herself.

She should have departed after securing the compensation over the past couple of days. Instead, she chose to remain amidst the Mu Clans unfriendly atmosphere, inadvertently causing the Crown Prince undue distress.

/Enduring her own anger was bearable. Yet now, this concubine dared to torment her beloved. She was practically seeking her own doom./

I apologize for subjecting you to this hards.h.i.+p. Qiao Mu nestled comfortably in his embrace, a tinge of melancholy in her demeanor.

Crown Prince Mo was taken aback, his earlier thoughts scattering like mist in the wind.

/Qiaoqiao wasnt vexed with him. She was concerned about his well-being!/

The Crown Prince felt as if he could soar with happiness. Embracing her tenderly, he murmured, Im relieved youre not angry with me.

Why would I be angry with you? Her Ladys.h.i.+p Qiaoqiao mulled over it for a moment before playfully rolling her eyes. Im not nave. If I cant trust you, should I rely on those chatty old serving women?

/What sense was there in trusting such individuals? They were nothing more than fleeting pa.s.sersby. Paying them any heed was simply a waste of energy./

Crown Prince Mos eyes crinkled with a smile. Qiaoqiao.

Your Highness, the State Preceptors carriage has just arrived! The carriage driver instinctively began to slow down.

Interrupted by the news, Crown Prince Mos brows furrowed in irritation. He responded with a touch of annoyance, Do you really need to ask for permission? Just move ahead.

Both carriages seamlessly merged onto the palace road leading to Lesheng Gate.

However, due to the State Preceptors carriage being drawn by a team of sixteen, its pace was rather sluggish.

As they negotiated a sharp turn, the State Preceptors carriage unexpectedly came face-to-face with the Crown Princes procession, forcing them to come to an abrupt halt.
