My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 1233

Chapter 1233: Why Did It Hurt?

Instantly jolting awake, he sat up on the divan and stared at the pitch-black night in cold sweat.

The blanket covering his abdomen slowly slid down to the ground.

That was a dream just now?

Why was it so real!

When Second Qin got up from the divan, his body swaved, causing him to almost bump into the nearby pillar.

He pressed down on his throbbing temples as he stabilized himself against the window frame. After inhaling the cool air that came from outside, his fingers uncontrollably curled into a fist.

Who exactly was that person sitting on the wheelchair?

Why did she give him an inexplicable sense of familiarity? Why would she make his heart convulse in pain…

“Master.” Huang Chong’s voice suddenly came in from below the window. He seemingly didn’t understand why his master would run to the window for fresh air in the middle of the night.

The second young sir didn’t respond to him, instead fixating on the dark void far away.

There, it seemed as if there was another him staring coldly back at himself.

Meanwhile, after Qiao Mu returned home, she finally behaved for several days under her mother’s earnest exhortations.

The entire Qiao Family was so busy in getting ready for her coming-of-age hairpin ceremony that they were spinning like tops.

Neither the guests of honor, officials, nor the master of ceremonies could be lacking.

As the only idle person, she would intermittently check up on Second Uncle and Brother Xiao Hu’s injuries. Other than that, there wasn’t much to do.

The two of them had woken up the day after she set out for the small base, and their injuries were almost nearly fully recovered by now. However, at the mention of that Zhou Yuan from the Zhou Family, they would curse at him nonstop.

That day, the Zhou Family had detained Eldest Aunt Qiao Wenxiu and Cousin Pu Ruolan in their home.

When her dad brought over the large ape with him, the two sides started fighting when they didn’t like what they heard. Consequently, the large ape perfectly tossed the Zhou Family’s two layer-11 body cultivators out flying and beat them up violently.

After her dad rescued her eldest aunt and cousin and saw the miserable state they were in, it was said that the three of them wept bitterly in each other’s arms on the spot.

Yet from the side, that little b*stard Zhou Yuan was still scolding her cousin Pu Ruolan for not abiding by female virtues.

His words ended up making her dad so incensed that he immediately requested for the capital magistrate, Pang Dahai, to make an appearance, having her cousin and Zhou Yuan divorce on the spot.

When Qiao Mu heard Second Uncle retell this story, she didn’t feel like she could believe her ears.

After all, she understood her dad too well. He was an indecisive and easily swayed good old fellow. How would he act so swiftly and resolutely, having her cousin and Zhou Yuan divorce on the spot?

This Zhou Yuan could be considered a talent for being able to anger her dad to this extent.

Her cousin was also a strong-willed person. At the beginning, her dad had planned to bring them, a widow and an orphan, back to the estate, but her cousin was unwilling.

Her eldest aunt had a small residential house on Hualing Street that they had secretly bought several years ago.

After leaving the Zhou Family, Pu Ruolan and Eldest Aunt Qiao Wenxiu had been living in that residential house on Hualing Street.

From Second Uncle’s words, it seemed like after the fact, that Zhou Yuan felt a loss of face after being forced by his wife’s uncle to divorce with his tail between his legs. Hence, he would bring people with him to Hualing Street practically every day to make trouble and disturb her cousin and Eldest Aunt’s peace.

After watching Second Uncle swallow a pill, Qiao Mu handed him a bowl of water to drink. “Second Uncle, anger harms the body, so be mindful since you have just recovered.”

“Qiaoqiao, you haven’t seen that little b*stard’s mouth! If you have, I guarantee that you will go up and slap his mouth twice!”

“That’s right, it was just hateful that there were people holding us back that day! Otherwise I would have long pummeled him to death with my fists.”
