Chapter 221: Thousand Blossom Festival

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the crown prince and the child returned to the banquet, the crown prince conversed with the city lord for a while.

Gu Qingfeng had already received a report from his subordinate that the entire storeroom was emptied in the blink of an eye.

His reverence for this little girl increased further. The little girl’s inner world must be extraordinary, which was why Li Xiang of the Daybreak Sect ran headfirst into misfortune when he wanted to peek into her inner world that day.

‘Tut tut, I must be more careful in the future and constrain my subordinates so that we don’t easily offend Little Miss.’

Gu Qingfeng told everyone about the Thousand Blossom Festival; it would be held from noon until night.

The city had not organized such a large-scale entertainment festivity ever since the zombie outbreak. Hence, City Lord Gu attached high importance to this festival.

As the activities of the Thousand Blossom Festival were arranged, the entire Xijiu City turned bustling and lively.

Moreover, everyone heard that the winner of the first three places in the Thousand Blossom Festival would each receive 100 pounds, 50 pounds and 20 pounds of food, respectively. Hence, everyone was embroiled in excitement.

Every family transported their flowers and plants to the central plaza to register for this competition, and everyone rubbed their hands together at the thought of the food prizes.

In the past, the prize of the first place winner of the Thousand Blossom Festival was 100 gold, so the wealthy families did not bother to participate. It was typically only the small households who worked hard for the competition in a bid for the 100 gold.

Now though, even the wealthy families in the city flurried into activity and carried the most valuable flower in their house to the plaza to register.

It was apparent that in the current times, gold and silver were nowhere near as precious as food.

This was an activity for the whole city. The city lord even especially issued an order that permitted the impoverished people from the eastern and western district to go to the central district and observe.

However, the impoverished people had to be thoroughly searched and questioned at the checkpoint to the central district. They were not allowed to carry any sharp items.

As a result, everyone in Xijiu City, from 7-year-old children to 80-year-old grannies, all rejoiced in the fanfare of the Thousand Blossom Festival. Friends would gather together to make plans for enjoying the festival together.

When it was time for dinner tonight, Qiao Mu was finally willing to attend the meal, making her parents very happy.

As soon as the white daisy saw her, she placed down her chopsticks and grievously stood up to yield her seat.

She servilely skittered to Elderly Lady Qiao’s side and stood next to the old woman like she was an unpresentable wife.

Qiao Mu did not even bother to look at this white daisy. She greeted her parents and Second Uncle and sat down to eat dinner.

Under Shaoyao’s “Miss, try this” and “Miss, try that” as she picked up pieces from the dishes to place into Qiao Mu’s bowl, Qiao Mu enjoyed quite a decent dinner.

Wen Ruwan sneakily peeked at the child, anger flickering through her eyes.

In the last two days, the family had joyously eaten the many sumptuous dishes together around the table while completely ignoring her.

The only exception was her aunt who felt sorry for her and pulled her by the hand to sit down and eat together. Everyone else treated her like she was invisible and ignored her.

Even Wei Ziqin, who held a favorable attitude toward her at the beginning, became a lot more aloof these past two days. To begin with, Wei Ziqin did not converse with her that often, but now, Wei Ziqin ignored her compliments too.

So frustrating!

She still remembered how friendly this family treated her the first day she had arrived at the Qiao residence. However, ever since that little b*tch, Qiao Mu, returned, everything turned upside down!

After Elderly Lady Qiao had the serving Mother Xu add a chair for Wen Ruwan, she awkwardly sat down.

Before she could finish sitting down, Qiao Mu placed down her bowl and expressionlessly said, “I’m full. Father, Mother, this daughter will excuse herself now.”

Everyone: “...”

Her meaning could not be any clearer! She did not like Wen Ruwan!
