What kind of expression could Second Qin show anyways? He was almost angered to death! He had already said that it was for Madam Qin née Yang’s own good when he blocked her.

  Yet she didn’t listen! And now, her waist was fractured because of that. How was it possible for her to get up and host the birthday feast tomorrow?

  With the madam out of commission, Father could only have his highest-status concubine, Concubine Mei, entertain the madams and misses tomorrow. However, her status as a concubine was unpresentable after all, so there was the worry that the clique of missuses would feel slighted.

  Second Qin grew more frustrated as he thought about it, and so he glowered at the unconscious woman lying on the ground.

  So stupid, to not realize her own worth before throwing her weight around!

  “Xiao Bao, why did you beat Madam into lying on the ground this time?” Eldest Qin shot a glance at the little lady’s deadpan expression. It truly wasn’t that he wanted to laugh from schadenfreude, but that…… it really was super hilarious!

  The little fellow had only just thrashed the maternal little sister into being bed-ridden in the afternoon, and then she fractured the waist of that same lady’s aunt at night……

  This lass was completely unsuited to being a maidservant! She had a lot of attitude as a bossy young woman, and it was impossible to stop her once her temper flared up.

  “Annoying, I’m sleeping!” Qiao Mu glared at the servants beside her, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts to open up a pathway.

  “Tomorrow, have Concubine Mei come out to receive the noble ladies. Make sure that she doesn’t wear her usual white and gloomy clothes and look too unpresentable.” Second Qin left his eldest brother this sentence before leaving.

  The group of servants looked at each other in fear and trepidation, and they all secretly exclaimed how fortunate they were to not have actually made a move on this little lady just now, or else they themselves would have been the ones lying on the ground.

  From the two young masters’ attitudes, it seemed that they did not intend to condemn the young lady at all. On the contrary, the madam ended up in such a miserable state…… what a close call!

  Early the next morning, Qiao Mu couldn’t resist twitching her mouth when she saw the senior manager obsequiously greeting her just as she stepped out the door.

  Really, what was the senior manager doing so early in the morning? Coming to give her a humble heads-up in advance, saying something along the lines of since a lot of people were coming to the estate today, it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn’t be some blind dimwits among the distinguished guests that may offend her for no reason.

  So he hoped that she could let them off for the Qin Estate’s sake and not snap other people’s wrists or fracture their waists at the slightest pretext.

  What do you mean! This darling is so gentle! I was never a savage person!

  Qiao Mu slunk away expressionlessly. She was going to keep an eye on the kitchen and see if anyone dared to spike the food and drinks.

  She had already thought it over. Since the mastermind behind the Qin Family patriarch was so confident as to be able to harm the crown prince as long as the latter were present, then there were only two possible methods.

  One, assasination. Two, poison. It wasn’t reasonable to assassinate at the beginning. They had to at least wait until everyone had gone through three rounds of wine and gotten tipsy, right?

  So the kitchen was an important location that she definitely had to keep a close watch on today.

  As the little lady walked over, everyone panicked and retreated as if seeing an enemy. They immediately evaded her when they saw her coming over from far away, as if she were some kind of evildoer!

  They truly were a bunch of extremely baffling people.

  This darling was normally an accommodating person. What exactly made you all think that I was a violent and terrifying person that would attack others without good cause?

  How preposterous!

  After Darling Qiao turned the corner in a huff, she saw a plump figure trotting over in her direction with five to eight flowerpots of various sizes in her arms.

  “Xiang Yuanyuan!” She remembered this big miss’s name.

  This Xiang Yuanyuan was among the maidservants that entered the estate at the same time as her. She had a big body but small guts, which made her the easiest to bully. Since she had a large figure, she kept being snubbed by the other maidservants.

  However, Darling Qiao quite liked this big miss’s carefree personality.
