“What are you waiting for? Continue. Ignore any racket from loiterers.” Qiao Mu indifferently looked toward the workers before glancing derisively at the screaming and bawling mother and daughter duo sitting on the ground.

Seeing the onlooking villagers pointing and laughing at them, Madam née Li found it a bit mortifying and got up, pouncing toward Qiao Mu’s residence like a starving wolf.

“Block her,” Qiao Mu harshly shouted.

At her order, the two workers guarding in front of the door beefed up their arms and blocked Madam née Li’s path.

Madam née Li, however, continued to push the two people’s shoulders, scratching and kicking at the same time. “Qiao Zhongbang, Wei Ziqin, get out here! I want to call Elderly Lady Qiao here to be a judge! We are all relatives, so must we take things to such extremes?”

Wei Ziqin quickly ran out after hearing this. With such a disturbance outside her door, she could not pretend to be mute and deaf no matter how much she wanted to ignore it.

As she saw the insane Madam née Li, Wei Ziqin could not help but to anxiously wipe her hands on her clothes before looking up at her daughter.

Qiao Mu sent her a reassuring look and dryly said, “Mother, ignore them. Everything here was bought by me, your daughter, with my own money. I earned it by risking my life to be a guide in Hulan Mountain.”

At the mention of Hulan Mountain, panic crept into Wei Ziqin’s heart. The memory of how her daughter led the people from Heavenly Dao Sect up the mountain by herself while she waited at the base of the mountain, scared and on edge, would always make her heart constrict involuntarily. Therefore, she nodded and said, “Mother knows.”

With the two workers blocking between them, Wei Ziqing told Madam née Li, “Second Sister-in-Law, our Qiaoqiao obtained all of the supplies in the boxes at the risk of her life. As parents, we can’t just hold out our hand and ask our daughter for it.”

In other words, you outsiders should not even contemplate getting it.

Madam née Li’s eyes were red with anger and she kept shouting, “How could you say that? What kind of nonsense is that? Look at how your courtyard is nearly out of room for these boxes, why is it a problem to give a few boxes to my daughter and I? We are all relatives. Will you really do such a preposterous thing as pretending to be strangers with your family?

“Second Sister-in-Law, these are all exchanged with Qiaoqiao’s life. She has the power to allocate it,” Wei Ziqin sternly said. “Second Sister-in-Law’s family has always been well off and never lacked for food or clothes. I imagine you wouldn’t stretch your hand that far to my daughter’s belongings, right?”

Madam née Li had never been shy when it came to flaunting how well off her family was and how blissful her life was. They truly did not expect her to shamelessly rob someone so openly today. This caused many villagers to inwardly laugh at her upon seeing this.

Madam née Li’s lips trembled as she watched box after box being carried away in front of her, and it made her heart feel like it was going to start dripping blood. It was true that she lived comfortably, but she had never been so extravagant and wasteful to the point of buying hundreds of boxes of clothes and cloth. As for that precious jewelry, it was completely beyond her reach. It was already quite good if she could add some silver jewelry to her collection every year.

Madam née Li was turning dizzy from how angry she was. As for Qiao Yingchun, she was intently staring at Qiao Mu’s back silhouette while continuously screeching, “Jewelry box, my jewelry box!”

Qiao Mu did not pay any attention to the two of them and entered the courtyard with the rosewood box in her arms, a little girl blindly following her.

She was too lazy to waste her words on those two idiots! Although she did not like the pieces of jewelry that the rich crown prince sent her and had never in her life enjoyed hanging jewelry on her head like a decorative tree, but this did not mean she would allow her possessions to benefit someone else! Even more unlikely for her to allow those idiots to benefit!
