My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 997 - Puppet on a String

Chapter 997: Puppet on a String

“Precisely speaking, someone wishes to make your life miserable. As for those useless Qiao Family members with you, I was just dealing with them together in passing.” Priest Dayu continued to reel off the truth of the matter, “I was only carrying out orders.”
Dayu was also deeply regretful right now. If it weren’t because he was lazy back then and hence casually sought out that useless Wen Ruwan to scheme against the Qiao Family, then the situation wouldn’t have veered out of control like this today.
Wen Ruwan was unsuccessful in creating trouble and bit the dust instead, becoming a zombie’s meal for no reason.
Ever since then, the situation became difficult to control.
“Beyond all expectations, you suddenly joined the Holy Water Sect and became the personal disciple of the First Peak’s Peak Master. This was poles apart from what our Prefecture Lord wished to achieve! Because my superior felt that I hadn’t produced results, he dispatched Manager Liu over to assist.”
“Your joining the Holy Water Sect was the first variable. Afterwards, Manager Liu dispatched our Shuntian Prefecture’s disciples over to Xijiu City to keep a close watch on your parents.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu’s heart immediately jolted.
“What is your relationship to Liu Yizhi?”
Dayu mechanically uttered with a wooden face, “Liu Yizhi is our prefecture’s Third Manager. Previously, I was technically under his management, but in the Lower Star Domain, we are considered to be on equal footing.”
“Keep speaking.”
Priest Dayu thus continued, “The several groups of people that we sent to keep an eye on your parents in Xijiu City had all been disposed of in secret. Afterwards, we found out that it was the doing of the Mo Kingdom’s crown prince.”
“And the Mo Kingdom’s crown prince, unexpectedly, took a fancy to you. Later on, you even became the crown prince consort, which was the second variable. Our Prefecture Lord was very displeased upon hearing this news!”
“Did you people also massacre the Holy Water Sect because you wanted to make me miserable??” Qiao Mu unwittingly clenched her fists, practically unable to control her wrath and her trembling body.
Yet to her surprise, Priest Dayu shook his head and explained, “That wasn’t so. That incident was because Liu Yizhi inadvertently discovered that sacred water existed in your Holy Water Sect. Liu Yizhi’s purpose for seizing the sacred water was purely to satisfy his own greed. It was absolutely impossible for him to turn over the sacred water he seized to the Prefecture Lord. In fact, he would do his utmost to cover up this incident.”
“What was the purpose of all this?” Confusion appeared on Qiao Mu’s small face.
So it turned out that—
She was actually a puppet on a string in her previous life!
If the other person wanted her to live miserably, then she must live miserably. And if the person wanted her to wallow her entire life away wretchedly, then she must spend her entire life in bleak desolation!
Realization only dawned on her now that her past life’s trajectory had actually been elaborately plotted out for her, but she was still very confused.
Wouldn’t it have been the end of the matter if the Shuntian Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord had directly killed her?
Why must he play this clumsy “will make you miserable” game with her?
Moreover, she simply couldn’t remember how she had offended this Shuntian Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord so that it would make him start plotting against her starting from seven to eight years ago.
The her in her previous life absolutely didn’t have that ability to offend this lofty Prefecture Lord of the Shuntian Prefecture.
In this life, her enmity with Shuntian Prefecture stemmed from their destruction of the Holy Water Sect when she was 12 years old.
In other words, she simply didn’t have any dealings with the Shuntian Prefecture before she was 12 years old.
She completely didn’t understand why the Shuntian Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord treated her with such hostility and rancor?
He was already thinking of making her life miserable when she was seven?
This kind of loathing was to the extent that this Prefecture Lord of the Shuntian Prefecture was unwilling to let her off in both of her lives?
