My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 526
Chapter 526: Too Idle
It was Family Head Qin’s 60th birthday tomorrow. She had been greatly bothered these two days, as many distant female relatives, in addition to those from the branch families, had been settling into the Qin Estate every day.
The senior manager and second manager were so busy from just the courtyard arrangements and related trifling matters that their feet didn’t even touch the ground.
All the servants in the entire Qin Estate had been mobilized.
Darling Qiao could be considered the most leisurely one out of all these people.
After Caiwei was punished for the incident in Blue Mountain Courtyard, the news that the second young master was keeping a little maidservant by his side circulated in the entire Qin Estate. The rumors said that she was very frightening and not to be trifled with. She even dared to thrash the eldest young master, which in turn attracted the eldest young master’s attention. The eldest young master confronted the second young master, requesting to have her, which caused the two young masters to nearly come to blows in the end!
Whom among the people in the estate, including the servants, didn’t have discerning eyesight? From then on, no one dared to order Qiao Mu about.
Hence, even if the estate was swamped with so much work that the managers were dog-tired, they still wouldn’t send this little great aunt on errands.
Darling Qiao was at such leisure these two days.
At this time, Qiao Mu ran to the little flower garden following a roundabout route in order to evade the annoying Qin Xuan. She found a gazebo to sit in.
Soon afterwards, she heard the whispers of two maidservants that were ditching their duties. “Just now I saw two boy servants carry… into maternal young master’s room.”
“It really is so sinful. I heard that she was a young lady from a good family, just about to marry. When she was shopping at a jewelry store… maternal young master bumped into her.”
“She truly is an unfortunate woman.”
“What are you two b*tchy servants whispering about over here?” A stern voice suddenly rang out.
“Maternal young miss.” The two maidservants were so frightened that they trembled as they hastily knelt on the ground.
“Slap their mouths! They’re all b*tches with loose mouths, daring to comment on their master behind his back!” You think that she didn’t hear? They were obviously talking about her older brother just now.
Although her older brother Yang Jiazhen failed to live up to expectations, he still wasn’t someone that two b*tchy servants could freely discuss.
“Spare us, maternal young miss, spare us, maternal young miss.” The two maidservants wailed as they bawled their eyes out. It was so noisy that Qiao Mu, who was resting in the gazebo, knitted her brows together.
This bunch of people were so long-winded and blabbering without end—she should poison them all into mutes!
Just as she was about to stand up and take action, she heard Eldest Qin’s voice. “What are you all gathering here for?”
“Eldest Cousin!” That maternal young miss cried out in pleasant surprise. “Fengyan greets Eldest Cousin.”
“Oh, it’s nothing. Fengyan, continue on. I just came to look for someone.” Qin Xuan circled around his blushing cousin and strode directly to the gazebo behind the tall rock garden.
As expected, he saw the little lady sitting in the gazebo with a glance, and she swept him a chilly gaze in return.
“Xiao Bao, let’s go. I’ll bring you to somewhere fun.” This eldest young master sauntered over with smiling eyes.
“Not free.” Qiao Mu refused resolutely.
The eldest young master, who had been refused by our dear Qiao Mu 15 to 16 times in total over these two days, was already accustomed to the little fellow’s way of speaking. Hence, he didn’t get angry upon hearing her answer as he strolled into the gazebo. “Today, Hualing Street is hosting an Elixirs Appreciation Convention, which will even sell some high-grade medicinal cauldrons. Let me tell you, it’s a very fun event. If you don’t go, you won’t be able to see a lot of good things.”
“What good things can there be?” Qiao Mu was taken aback, and she became a bit interested when she heard “medicinal cauldron.”
“How are they not good? Good medicinal cauldrons can not only raise the pill’s grade, but also quicken the pill concoction process. Think about the poison powder that you had scattered the other day. If you had made it into a pill instead, they would’ve become permanently mute after swallowing one. You wouldn’t have to worry about them raising a ruckus in the future anymore.”
