She resembled a petite, exquisite jade figurine with her stoic countenance, sitting gracefully on a stone stool in the garden, her round eyes fixed firmly upon the two intruders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young one's hair had been neatly tied into a simple yet elegant ponytail, with a delicate golden butterfly playfully fluttering amidst her tresses. Her cheeks radiated a rosy and tender hue, and her skin possessed the luminance of fine jade—an enchanting sight that stirred the hearts of those who beheld her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their clandestine escapade had been unexpectedly interrupted by the vigilant Her Excellency Qiaoqiao, the mistress of the estate. Both of them froze in their tracks before gingerly approaching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dear, why are you awake so early?\" ventured one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning, Qiaoqiao,\" greeted the other warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pair exuded an air of nonchalance, their faces devoid of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao's beady eyes scrutinized the two individuals before her, darting back and forth between them inquisitively. With a stern visage, she turned her attention to Dao Seeking and inquired, \"What were the two of you doing wandering about in the middle of the night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile tugged at Mo Lian's lips, though he wisely suppressed it. He couldn't risk his wife's ire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Qiao Mu's perspective, the situation did appear quite suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weren't men said to be an enigmatic species? They could gallivant in open-crotch pants through brothels and mingle with viscounts, all in the name of revolutionary camaraderie,\" she mused inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Lian noticed her contemplative expression and discreetly inched his hand toward her head, intending to pat it affectionately. However, a sudden recollection of his recent encounter with an unpleasant elder made him swiftly withdraw his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing his hesitant action, Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao couldn't help but find him even more dubious. He seemed innocent enough, so why was he so averse to touching her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fellow sprung to her feet and scampered over to them with tiny, determined steps. She gazed up at them and demanded, \"Spill it! Where did you two go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough.\" Duan Yue blinked innocently, offering a perfectly guileless look. \"Qiaoqiao, I was awakened by Mo Lian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I spotted this guy sneaking out of the door when I came out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Lian pivoted and shot him an exasperated glare, silently communicating, \"Brothers would be doomed if this gets out…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Basically, hubby did venture out in the middle of the night!\" In other words, the truth had come to light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao turned her petite head away, her voice stern. \"Tell me the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Lian explained swiftly, all in one breath, \"I set up a small outpost in the Beiwang Great Forest, and late at night, I arranged for a group of people to inspect it. Unbeknownst to us, we stumbled upon not one, but two old geezers deep within the outpost's dungeon. One of these geezers insisted that I pay homage to him as my master. After enduring a series of trials and tribulations, I managed to return at dawn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao took a step back and wrinkled her nose in distaste. \"Oh! So that's why you both reek so badly. It was because of the old geezer! So foul, so foul!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two esteemed gentlemen, who had just been scolded by Her Excellency, expressed their extreme innocence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could exchange any words, a commotion erupted behind them. \"Who smells foul? Young lady, kindly clarify!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Lian jolted and turned swiftly to see Chen Qi and Lu Zhan, the two elderly men, standing at the garden's arched entrance, their eyes shining brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you two follow us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Yue was equally stunned, bordering on disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u002FCould Little Seven not outpace these two old geezers with his speed? Who on earth were they?\u002F\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his and Mo Lian's cultivation, they actually didn't sense the two old men following them the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>",669,"2026-06-05T15:47:31.520Z",1,"novelbin.me","6e67f26d22106c1511ab3890386ae92f690ffe279a2a74dacae3cffe07d06268","my-crown-prince-consort-is-a-firecracker-chapter-2824","my-crown-prince-consort-is-a-firecracker-chapter-2822",3175,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-crown-prince-consort-is-a-firecracker-cover.jpg"]
