“He was like a monkey spirit, so terrifyingly skinny. How pudgy of a child he was back then!” Wei Ziqin shook her head.

However, Qiao Mu did not contemplate it too much. Afterall, Zhou Tao was already a thing of the past.

Several days after her rebirth, she had already avenged her grudges with him from getting kicked down the hill when they were young.

If her father hadn’t mentioned it, she would have forgotten about this person. She remembered how she encountered him on the way to the capital from Xijiu City, killing someone in a craze from hunger.

Previously, he was a porter, and now, he was someone’s servant. Looks like he wasn’t doing all that well.

But being able to survive as a normal person in the apocalypse until this point proved that he had a clever mind.

To her, his name now was just that of a stranger. There was no sorrow, joy, or any other emotion.

After their meal, Qiao Mu returned to her room. She needed to try on each wedding gown and piece of jewelry that the Ministry of Rites had sent over.

However, it did not take long until the little lady gave up, kicking off her shoes to laze about in bed.

Shaoyao couldn’t help but be both amused and peeved when she saw her young crown prince consort’s indolent state upon entering the room.

“Crown Prince Consort, you’ve only tried on how many pieces of jewelry? How can you just lie down! Did you try on the wedding gown?”

“I have, I have.” Qiao Mu scrambled up from the bed and said to her with bright eyes, “Shaoyao, if you are to marry my Brother Xiao Hu, then you will be my sister-in-law in the future.”

Shaoyao glared at her with a reddened face. “Don’t say nonsense.”

“How is it nonsense.” The young crown prince consort cracked a grin. “How about this, we’ll start getting used to our new forms of address from now on. I’ll call you Eldest Sister-in-Law! You’ll call me Sister-in-Law too. How about it?”

Shaoyao’s face burned from embarrassment, and she rolled her eyes at Qiao Mu while walking outside with the wedding gown. “Crown Prince Consort, you’ve gotten a lot skinnier during this period of time. I will have them go tailor this wedding gown’s waistline.”

After successfully making Shaoyao, this endlessly nagging fellow, flee bashfully, Qiao Mu gave a cheer. She then flopped back languidly onto the bed, spread eagle, and did not move at all.

Yet in reality, she was conversing with the sapling in her mental conscious pool.

“Master, Master. Do you want to consume a bone forging pill right now? I expended much energy before being able to transfer it from the main planet! I guarantee that your body’s resilience will enter a new stratum in three days!”

“I’d be foolish to believe you.” Qiao Mu shook her head. “If you say three days, then it will certainly be more than that. I only have four days until the wedding. I cannot allow any mishaps to occur.”

If she were to consume the bone forging pill now, then what if she was not able to finish the forging process by the day of the wedding? She would be out of luck then.

Forcefully coming out of closed-door cultivation would screw her over…

Did she not have to consider the pride of the royal family?

Did she not want her own pride either!

It was not so urgent that it had to be done now. She would wait some more before going through the forging…

Even so, the sapling insisted, “Ay, Master, then what if some person with undiscerning eyes comes to make trouble on the day of the wedding. Once you finish forging your body, you will have a great chance of victory! Do the forging now!”

If the sapling were in front of her at this moment, she would definitely clobber its head.

She was going to be in a wedding, not a fight.

Moreover, the crown prince wasn’t there for decoration. Who would dare make trouble at the crown prince’s wedding?

“Alright, don’t goad me into doing any unreliable things.” Qiao Mu gave the final word. “I’m telling you. If nothing else, my strong suit is that I am particularly reliable.”

The sapling: … Are you certain that this is really your strong suit?

“You troublemaker, go do whatever you’re supposed to. Don’t annoy me.” Qiao Mu waved her arm in distaste while lazing on the bed.
