My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker - Chapter 2689

Chapter 2689 You’re in Trouble
Phooey, this great aunt was in a bad mood, so she wasn’t giving any three-day limit anymore!

His Highness the Crown Prince’s eyes lit up. He must fully support his wife in stirring up trouble!

He turned to say to Huifeng, “Go request for the capital magistrate to come over.”

“Also, bring over the accountants that this crown prince told you to find.”

Mu Jingfeng was so infuriated that he fell backwards. He simply wanted to vomit blood.

He truly didn’t expect that this black-hearted young couple really dared to escalate the matter!

Did they not want their pride?
They were forcing her father to hand over her mother’s private assets immediately upon returning to the Mu Clan. What would that do for their reputation if word got out about it?

Mu Xingchen had no objections.

He was now utterly disappointed in this father of his. From the looks of it, his father was truly unwilling to return his mother’s dowry to his younger sister.

His younger sister and his brother-in-law possessed identities that gave them the ability to take back the dowry. However, other people would probably get nothing back and have to swallow their anger.

The capital magistrate came at an exceptionally fast speed!

In less than a quarter of an hour, he rushed over with several dozen imperial guards.

This person’s surname was Cao, and he was known as Stubborn Head Cao…

There was a reason for this title.

It was because this Official Cao was extremely upright and plainspoken. He had opposed the imperial family multiple times, so everyone called him Stubborn Head Cao.

One time, when the Vassal Prince of Linchuan returned to the capital, he crashed into five commoners on Changle Boulevard.

Stubborn Head Cao acted rather decisively. He ordered their arrest, had their robes removed, and punished them with 50 military canes in public.

This infuriated the Vassal King of Linchuan so much that he entered the palace that very night to lodge a complaint against Stubborn Head Cao for disrespecting the imperial family.

The Vassal King of Linchuan made such a big fuss that the emperor dismissed Stubborn Head Cao from office and threw him into prison.

Yet who knew that the newly appointed capital magistrate could not suppress those prodigals in the imperial capital at all, causing the capital to descend into chaos.

In a fit of anger, the emperor let out Stubborn Head Cao again…

Stubborn Head Cao had entered and exited prison five times, got dismissed from office four times, yet he was still sitting stably in this position.

Hence, everyone understood that the emperor rather liked this Stubborn Head Cao…

Right now, Qiaoqiao also quite liked this Stubborn Head Cao.

As soon as Official Cao took the land deed that Qiaoqiao handed him, he immediately put on an expression that meant business. He ordered the pretty mistress and her servants to immediately move out of the residence. Not only that, they were also fined for seizing the residence for a period of time.

Qiao Mu was greatly gratified to see that white daisy beside Mu Jingfeng bawling nonstop.

For some reason, she found this white daisy’s face to be an eyesore no matter how she looked at it.

Now that she examined it closely, she discovered that this white daisy’s eyes looked quite similar to her own.

She heard that her eyes especially resembled her mother’s.

Could it be that Mu Jingfeng still liked Mother a lot in his heart?

Qiao Mu felt like she had swallowed a fly.

Stubborn Head Cao was very efficient. He directly had Mu Jingfeng take out all the relevant account books on the dowry list.

Mu Qingya had yet to recover from the shock of her husband keeping a mistress, but now Stubborn Head Cao was ordering her to hand over the account books.

Her face had turned pale, and her body was truly teetering, about to collapse at any moment.

When Mu Rouxuan rushed inside, Liujin Court was in an uproar.

She hastily shuffled to her mother’s side and glowered at Qiao Mu and her group. “What are you doing? What did Mother do wrong for you to anger her like this?”

Stubborn Head Cao said calmly, “We are conducting official business, miscellaneous people get out of the way!”

“Xuan’er.” Mu Qingya propped herself up with difficulty. “Rest assured, Official Cao. I will have my subordinates sort out the account books right away.”
