Chapter 1539 - Ties

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The crown prince shuffled forward on his knees to Queen Zhao. He held her hands and said gently, “Mom, this child promises you that no matter how many difficult dangers block my way in the future, this child will forever remember that Dad and Mom are waiting at home for me. This child will definitely come back together with my wife.”

Queen Zhao hugged her son and sobbed loudly.

“Mom has been muddle-headed. Mom did not like your wife at the beginning because she wore a frosty expression all day and did not even smile at her elders. How did Mom become so dim-sighted from old age to take a fancy to Yi’an, that woman with a Buddha’s mouth but a viper’s heart.”

“It wasn’t until that day at Yating Court that Mom understood that your cold-faced wife was only not good at expressing herself. She is actually… a good child.”

What was the use of Yi’an being a glib talker and being able to amuse her. At the moment of crisis, it was still her young stoic-faced daughter-in-law who rescued her.

The little stoic was simply a person of few words. Rather than being full of empty talk, the little stoic expressed herself through action instead.

This was the difference.

One was flamboyant but impractical, while the other was practical and sincere.

Currently, Queen Zhao was only remorseful that she wasn’t able to build good relations with her young daughter-in-law at the start. Now that her daughter-in-law would also be leaving, she had no opportunity to interact with her.

When she thought about her remorse, her heart couldn’t help but hurt.

“Qiaoqiao, this child, will also be leaving in a few days, but Mom hasn’t been able to interact with her. Mom is feeling bad.”

“Mom, don’t feel bad. No matter where we go, you all will still be me and Qiaoqiao’s greatest ties. What’s more, there will still be several days before Qiaoqiao leaves. Mom can stroll around with Qiaoqiao these couple of days.”

“Mom, I’m telling you. If you don’t want to see Qiaoqiao’s stoic face, the simplest way is to tell her: ‘My daughter-in-law, you’ll be leaving, so why don’t you smile for Mom.’ She’ll smile for sure…”

Queen Zhao’s tears gave way to smiles as she poked his forehead with her finger. “You just like to tease your mom.”

While the mother and son were having their chat, Qiao Mu was also making three promises to her dad and mom: She promised that she would return in three years, promised that she would send back a message in half a year, and also promised that she absolutely wouldn’t get hurt at all!

Wei Ziqin had Qiao Zhongbang open up the ancestral hall, and the couple brought Qiao Mu in front of Long Chuyun.

“Child, you must keep the jade pendant that Mom gave you safe. That is the identity token of the Mu Clan.”

Qiao Mu pursed her lips noncommittally, but she did not refute.

She was absolutely not going to initiate contact with the Divine Province’s Mu Clan. These so-called relatives, ha ha…?

“Hey, Mom doesn’t care what you think in your heart. In any case, promise Mom that you must not be angry at your birth mother, okay.”

“Mom, I am not angry at her.”

“Then why haven’t you actively come to see her these few days.” Wei Ziqin gazed at her daughter’s unyielding profile and suddenly pulled her into her arms. “Mom knows that you are feeling bad, but Mom hopes that you can face it directly, okay?”

Qiao Mu nodded. “Mom, what exactly happened to Long Chuyun and why this daughter would get implicated by her—I will face all this directly and go find the truth. Mom, don’t worry, those people from the Mu Clan can no longer hurt me.”

Because before they hurt her, she would send them to their deaths!

Wei Ziqin’s heart trembled, and she exchanged glances with her husband Qiao Zhongbang.

The couple were baffled, but they felt a bad premonition surfacing in their hearts…

Why did their daughter look so murderous whenever they talked about the Mu Clan. Was, was this good?
