Chapter 1409: Like?

Qiao Mu almost choked on the soup that she was drinking.
“You did that?” Her expression was quite peculiar.
“Mhm-mhm.” Mo Lian nodded emphatically as he looked to her expectantly for praise. He explained to his wife with a grin, “It’s all that Yi’an’s fault for being so annoying and buzzing around us like a fly. There’ll be less trouble the earlier she gets married off. What do you think of my arrangement?”
“It’s not bad.” Darling Qiao also nodded in approval. “I don’t know what her problem is to always be approaching me purposefully. Do I look so stupid that she thinks she can just beguile me into being good sisters with her? How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world.”
“I don’t like her. She has too many freakin’ ulterior motives.” Qiao Mu scooped up some rice and swallowed it. When she looked up, she saw Mo Lian staring straight at her with his shining phoenix eyes.
“You don’t know why she has been approaching you?”
“How would I know.” Qiao Mu scooped another spoonful of rice as she swept him a doubtful look.
“Cough, then let me ask you about something.” Mo Lian coughed lightly. He scooted his stool next to his wife and asked gingerly, “That day when we bumped into Old Fourth, the Fourth Princess. You still remember that incident, right?”
“I remember. She even ran over to your dad to lodge a vehement complaint against me, saying that I beat her up so badly that she couldn’t show her face outside!” Qiao Mu was infuriated upon thinking of this. “Tell me, when and where did I ever beat her up??”
The crown prince couldn’t resist facepalming. “My darling, you really don’t remember?”
Whenever Qiao Mu heard the words “you don’t remember” nowadays, the hairs on her body would stand on end. After experiencing “passive amnesia,” she would constantly be stubborn, telling other people that she remembered everything…
“How is it possible for me to not remember.” Mo Lian just wanted to laugh at her shifty gaze.
Consequently, he nodded repeatedly and concurred with the attitude that “everything my wife says is correct,” “Right right. You remember everything. It was that time when you rescued Eldest Qin on the main street. You beat up Old Fourth then.”
Realization dawned on Qiao Mu. “Why didn’t you tell me at that time.”
Mo Lian couldn’t help but be speechless. It seemed like some people were ignored no matter how many times his wife saw them at royal banquets…
“No wonder I felt she looked somewhat familiar,” Qiao Mu mumbled to herself. She held her small rice bowl and munched on some veggies. “But she actually had the cheek to wail to your dad! Could she be justified in committing daylight robbery?”
Mo Lian: …
“Darling, she really didn’t come to rob us that day. She had come to capture Eldest Qin.”
Mo Lian felt that there was a need to chat with the little fellow about these matters between men and women so that she wouldn’t just be thinking about fighting or cultivation all day long…
If they talked about it more, she would understand these things some day, Crown Prince Mo thought.
“Why?” Qiao Mu asked Mo Lian curiously.
Why…
Mo Lian coughed lightly. “You’ve heard about Mo Shuang wanting to get married to Eldest Qin right. There is no doubt that it is because Mo Shuang likes him.”
Qiao Mu set down her utensils. “But didn’t Eldest Qin reject her long ago?”
“Right, but there are many besotted men and resentful women in this world. It does not mean that they will give up when the other party rejects them?”
Qiao Mu understood instantly. She judged with a nod, “The fourth princess is being obstinate.”
Mo Lian: If you say that this little fellow didn’t understand, she understood instantly once you tipped her off. But if you say that she did understand, she was normally so clueless. It really was agonizing.
