Chapter 2611 Take A Mile When Given An Inch
?
Crown Prince Mo sized her up with extreme indifference. Her dignified expression and her unrestrained actions truly did not put a well-bred lady to shame. Hence, he responded by drinking in return.
This also could be considered accepting the host's hospitality.
Qiao Mu turned to look at this eldest young lady and asked coldly, "You ran inside to give a toast?"
"State your intentions asap." She never liked going about in circles. It was evident that Mu Rouxuan was one who never visited unless they needed something.
Mu Rouxuan did not get angry and only looked at Qiao Mu lightly. "Rouxuan knows what the crown prince consort has requested of the Mu Clan."
"You want my mom to bring me as well as all the women in the Mu Clan to greet you at Lesheng Gate. Does this mean you also want Grandmother to go kneel in greeting too?"
Mo Lian's gaze turned frigid. "Eldest Young Lady Mu means that you cannot kneel to the crown prince consort?"
Mu Rouxuan bit her lip. She knew that she had said the wrong thing.
Even if Grandmother was to go kneel in greeting, there was nothing unsuitable in terms of state law.
Everything in their great Divine Province was determined by strength. There were not many ethical restrictions.
So what if she was her grandmother? Family manners had to give way to state law.
"Since you are saying this, I have changed my mind."
Mu Rouxuan heaved a slight sigh, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. "That would be…"
"I want Family Head Mu to bring everyone in the entire estate to greet me and my mother at Lesheng Gate! Everyone of the same generation and younger generation must kneel three times and kowtow nine times to greet my mother! Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Mu Rouxuan nearly choked. She was so livid that her face turned ashen.
She clutched her hands tightly in her sleeves and suppressed the anger in her stomach. She spoke coldly, "The crown prince consort had best not take a mile when given an inch."
"This crown prince consort just likes to take a mile when given an inch!" The little stoic slammed her chopsticks on the table and did not give Mu Rouxuan any face. "Relay my words to Family Head Mu."
She narrowed her eyes and declared expressionlessly, "I rather truly hope that the Mu Clan has a proud and unyielding character, with no fear of death! If you all want to die, I suppose I can watch."
"Is the crown prince consort not going too far?" Mu Rouxuan said angrily, "Even if the Mu Clan has been unfair to you and your mother, the Mu Clan has around ten thousand disciples. How could you bear to take the lives of so many innocent all for your own willfulness?"
"Innocent? Hahahahaha!" Qiao Mu laughed coldly.
However, there was no mirth in her expression… this instead made people feel extremely depressed.
Were there innocent people in the Mu Clan?
Why did her mother leave her position as the wife of the family head for a place far away from home in the Lower Star Domain?
Concubine Shi had been the mastermind manipulating and ruining her life. Exactly how many Mu Clan people had taken part and also persecuted her, this innocent and pitiful child?
It was only that she had become strong in this lifetime, which served as a foil to their incompetence. That was why they kept on crying their innocence.
The fifth young sir felt his eyelid jerking as he witnessed this.
So it turns out that the stoic face he saw during their first meeting may have been cold and a swindler, but her attitude was rather amiable.
"You can save them!" Qiao Mu's gaze was cynical.
"You!"
"You're unwilling?" Qiao Mu warned coldly, "This is only the beginning."
"I said, I have returned. Your Mu Clan will have plenty coming."
"Any dragons should coil up, and tigers should keep lying low! You're unwilling?" Qiao Mu tightened her girp, and the teacup in her hand turned into powder. "Put up with it!"
