My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2672

2672 Confrontation Between Father and Daughter
Qiao Mu looked up and saw Mu Jingfeng rushing out from Magnolia Court. He was bristling with anger, and his eyes were filled with fury.

However, when Mu Jingfeng met the crown prince’s frigid eyes, he involuntarily became embarrassed.

Why did the Crown Prince come back?

Didn’t he go to the Qianyuan Audience Hall to discuss state affairs with His Majesty?

Mu Jingfeng’s wrath came to a screeching halt, and his furious expression also froze on his face.

He cupped his hands toward His Highness the Crown Prince. “Your Highness.”

Crown Prince Mo looked at him coldly. “What is the reason for Family Head Mu’s sudden visit?”
Mu Jingfeng choked. He smiled simperingly and said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, this humble one has come, to speak with the crown prince consort.”

Qiao Mu and Crown Prince Mo walked into the main hall hand in hand. She directly sat down on a chair and didn’t even look at Mu Jingfeng.

This contemptuous attitude infuriated Mu Jingfeng to the point that his teeth ached, and his expression turned even more unsightly.

“Family Head Mu, speak your mind,” Crown Prince Mo stated coldly.

Mu Jingfeng took a deep breath.

He had also been muddle-headed from anger earlier, which was why he impulsively rushed to Magnolia Court to question Qiao Mu.

Now that he had calmed down, he was a bit more rational.

“Crown Prince Consort, did you tell your grandpa that you were going to retrieve your mother’s dowry?”

Qiao Mu nodded. “Is there a problem?”

The old sir was rather efficient at handling affairs. She had just talked to him about this at noon, and Mu Jingfeng had already come running to find her in a fluster in the evening.

That “unfilial daughter” just now was clearly Mu Jingfeng’s true thoughts right now.

Qiao Mu curled her lips apathetically.

On the other hand, Mu Jingfeng was so infuriated by this unfilial daughter’s attitude that veins bulged from his forehead.

She could actually still calmly ask him, what was the problem? Didn’t she find it absurd to ask such a question!

Mu Jingfeng took a deep breath and restrained his temper. He told Qiao Mu, “All these years, Qingya has been taking care of all the shops and manors that were part of your mother’s dowry. If not for Qingya’s skillful management, they wouldn’t have become the prosperous shops they are today.”

“Mhm, I will pay her administrative fees.” Qiao Mu stated nonchalantly, “She will definitely be satisfied with the price.”

Mu Jingfeng was so infuriated that smoke started spewing from his head.

Pay administrative fees? And at a satisfactory price? What did this lass take Qingya for?

A servant? Or a hired hand? She actually dared to speak such words!

Qiao Mu took out that rosewood box and opened it. She took out a stack of land deeds and said blandly, “Mu Jingfeng, you couldn’t be thinking of swallowing up this bit of your ex-wife’s dowry, right?”

“If that is the case, I would like to seek out the capital magistrate to clarify the situation.” Qiao Mu said nonchalantly, “If I remember correctly, according to the laws of the Divine Province, private assets from a dowry are passed down to the daughter after the mother’s death.”

“My mom’s private assets are naturally mine. You’re using my assets to financially support your beautiful wife and concubines, as well as the sons and daughters of your concubines. Do you think this is appropriate?”

Mu Jingfeng’s face flushed red from anger.

This lass’s words were too acerbic and direct!

Anyone else would absolutely not say it so bluntly without any leeway for mediation.

Who would be able to take this face-slapping? Besides, Mu Jingfeng had been the family head of the Mu Clan for many years. Extreme pride had long been ingrained deep in his bones.

How could he withstand his daughter’s mocking?

When he recalled his daughter pointing at his nose and angrily shouting “you’re useless” at Lesheng Gate, an indescribable fury immediately burned in his chest.
