Chapter 626: Skyrocketing Misfortune


The small hands with which Qiao Mu used to wash her face paused slightly. Hm? She had heard that that unfortunate second prince had already been detained last night.


Xiaoxiao chattered noisily, “They found a large pile of letters inside that whatever prince’s study. Oh, and they also captured someone!”


As Xiaoxiao was speaking, Mo Lian entered. Seeing that Qiao Mu had already gotten up, his eyes involuntarily curved as he walked over. “Why didn’t you call for the servants when you woke up this early?”


“It’s not as if I can’t take care of myself,” Qiao Mu muttered. She finished washing her small face by herself before being pulled over by Mo Lian.


“I’ll comb your hair for you.”


“You know how?”


“No, but I’ll learn.”


Forget it, don’t pester me blindly! Qiao Mu was in a hurry to call for Shaoyao, yet Mo Lian pulled her towards himself and pressed her down onto the small round stool in front of the mirror.


“Qiaoqiao, it’s snowing so heavily outside today that some roads have even closed. Let’s wait until tomorrow or the day after that and see the situation then. We’ll go back once the snow stops.”


It’s snowing very heavily? The little fellow tilted her head as she looked outside. However, she couldn’t see clearly past the dense bead curtain layered with brocade and silk.


He twisted her small head back, positioning it to face the mirror, before giving her hair two decent strokes of the comb.


“The winds are strong and the snow is heavy, so let’s not go outside.” Mo Lian coiled her hair into a casual hairdo in passing. When she inspected it in the mirror, it actually looked like the real thing.


“What do you think.” The man couldn’t help being slightly proud of himself.



Yet Qiao Mu glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. “Exactly what kind of tricks did you play at the second prince’s place yesterday? Does the infamous thief from the day before that have anything to do with you?”


“How could I have anything to do with the infamous thief.” Mo Lian pleaded for his innocence. On the contrary, he was still quite indignant at the mention of this topic. “That infamous thief is actually quite widely known on Sikong Planet. He’s called some Thief Sage Ding Tingding. He is able to steal anything that he targets.”


Qiao Mu couldn’t resist twitching her mouth. “What Dingdingding?” I’ll be Dongdongdong then!


Mo Lian simply carried her up and beamed while nuzzling his head against hers. “Not Dingdingding. It’s Ding Tingding!”


Sitting beside the table, he dipped his finger in tea and wrote out the three characters.


“Oh, what did Ding Tingding do then, to make the crown prince so disdainful.”


After chuckling in amusement, Mo Lian hugged his little fellow before saying with a smile, “This Ding Tingding almost messed up my plans. I had sent someone to plant something in Second Brother’s study.”


“The letters, right.” The little fellow rolled her eyes.


Uh… so you knew already. Mo Lian lowered his head to glance at her. “Who knew that that Ding Tingding had hid inside Second Brother’s study all along. Afterwards, he even purposely let Second Brother capture him.”


“Then, doesn’t that mean that he witnessed you finding someone to frame the second prince??” Qiao Mu’s expression immediately turned grave.


Mo Lian curved the corners of his lips. “What framing? Those letters are genuine. It’s just that they weren’t inside the study previously.”


“Second Brother has gotten into cahoots with a downtrodden royal descendant of Western Qiu Kingdom, whom he hid inside the Second Prince’s Estate with a plot in mind. Sir Ge was able to find follow-up evidence, catching the man together with the goods. This matter isn’t a misunderstanding at all.”


“Then how did that Sir Ge just coincidentally happen to get tipped off and rush to the Second Prince’s Estate in time?” Qiao Mu cast a sidelong glance at the crown prince.


“I just had someone casually leak out the news that Ding Tingding was at the Second Prince’s Estate. Naturally, some people were unable to sit still and jumped out for my use.” The crown prince explained with a smile.


At this time, Shaoyao led a line of junior royal maids inside to place the dishes and set the table. Glimpsing that her two masters were once again glued to each other, she couldn’t resist covering her mouth as she laughed secretly.


“So Ding Tingding really did escape.”


“His getaway tactics are first-class.” The crown prince humphed lightly in displeasure.
