My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 1198 - Reason

Chapter 1198: Reason

“Things are like this, Madam.” Huifeng turned to bow to Wei Ziqin and replied, “The Zhou Family’s eldest son, Zhou Yuan, drove his wife out the door early this morning, and Second Master Qiao and Eldest Young Master Qiao just so happened to be passing by.”
Once she heard this, Qiao Mu raised her hand to rub her head.
Upon seeing this, Mo Lian also quickly stepped beside his wifey to help her massage her temples.
Wei Ziqin and Qiao Zhongbang merely cast their daughter and son-in-law a glance before getting absorbed in Huifeng’s words again.
“Thereupon, Second Master recognized that the person who was sobbing, barred outside the Zhou Estate’s door, was his long-lost eldest younger sister Qiao Wenxiu.”
“It really is Wenxiu?” Qiao Zhongbang gaped in astonishment.
“After a round of inquiry, Second Master learned from Qiao Wenxiu that this eldest son of the Zhou Family, Zhou Yuan, cast off his niece Pu Ruolan in divorce in order to marry the daughter of the Gao Family, the richest family in the city. Consequently, he got so furious that he went up to reason with the Zhou Family.”
“And then he got beaten up?” Qiao Mu’s face sank. “The Zhou Family means to kill Second Uncle and Brother Xiao Hu because of a domestic quarrel?”
“It is said that these two formidable body cultivator guards had been sent by Gao Qiqi, the daughter of the rich Gao Family. They were the ones who wounded Second Master and Eldest Young Master.” Huifeng stepped behind Crown Prince Mo after quickly finishing his report.
This Zhou Family just had to beat up Second Master Qiao. With the crown prince consort’s protectiveness, this incident probably wasn’t going to end well.
“Then how about Wenxiu? Where are Wenxiu and her daughter right now?” Qiao Zhongbang couldn’t help but ask.
“Because the incident had spiraled out of control and it looked like there would be deaths, someone secretly went to alert capital hall, after which Sir Pang Dahai dispatched people to investigate. Seeing that the matter had blown up, the Zhou Family were afraid to make a fuss for the time being, so they detained Qiao Wenxiu and Pu Ruolan. Right now, they’re locked up in the Zhou Family.”
Pounding the door with his fist, Qiao Zhongbang yelled with a glower, “They’ve gone too far! Are they bullying my Qiao Family because we lack people?”
“Dad,” Qiao Mu had just called out when Qiao Zhongbang waved his hand at her, saying,” Don’t you and the crown prince intervene in this matter. Dad will personally bring people to the Zhou Family and see if they will release them.”
How could Qiao Mu rest assured? Although her dad had consumed a mystic breakthrough pill previously and had broken through to be a level-nine mystic cultivator, the other party had two layer-11 body cultivators. Maybe they still had other hidden forces, too.
By going there so rashly, wasn’t Qiao Zhongbang delivering himself to their doorstep to get beaten up?
“You can’t. Dad, it’s too dangerous this way.” Qiao Mu shook her head and said, “Take several hidden guards…”
“No need.” Qiao Zhongbang waved his hand and asserted, “This is our Qiao Family’s family matters. How can we trouble the crown prince every time.”
“Daughter, don’t worry. Dad is going there to reason with them so that they will release your eldest aunt and your cousin. Is it possible for them to beat me up so brazenly?” At any rate, he was the Marquis of Jiayuan that the king had personally conferred. He was not a commoner that anyone could beat up.
Even so, Qiao Mu pulled her lips into a thin line before sinking into thought for a long while. “Dad, you can go reason with the Zhou Family if you want, but you must bring my mystic beast with you.”
Qiao Zhongbang immediately exclaimed, “Ah, you want me to bring that cyan bird?”
“No.” Qiao Mu tugged Qiao Zhongbang and the others out the door, and they saw a giant ape leaping down from the roof before it cracked a smile at them.
Wei Ziqin jumped in fright before stepping back and stammering, “S-Such a huge giant ape.”
“Mhm, Mom, don’t worry. It won’t attack people.” Qiao Mu reached up to pat the large ape’s head.
