My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!
chapter-2699

2699 House by House Late that night, the foremost branch of the Mu Clan finally assembled the compensation of an astounding 280 million spirit currency, and duly presented the entire sum to Young Master Wu.

Apart from the 50 million spirit currency generously extended by the venerable gentleman, Family Head Mu reluctantly withdrew 100 million spirit currency from his coffers.

The remaining 130 million spirit currency was composed of spirit stones, medicinal ingredients, spiritual energy, and forging materials, all valued equally.

...

It must be acknowledged that this time, the Mu Clan’s eldest branch had truly spilled a considerable amount of blood!

Wu Shaoyin noticed that the young crown prince consort displayed remarkable composure while receiving the compensation. She didn’t even flinch upon seeing the equivalent of 280 million spirit currency.

/She truly sets a benchmark for my generation!/

Quietly, Young Master Wu praised the Crown Prince Consort for her astonishing demeanor. He intended to relay all the details to His Excellency Cao upon his return.

/His Excellency Cao’s discernment regarding the roles of battle team’s crown prince consort and crown prince consort was spot on!/ /Consider this, since the young crown prince consort returned to the capital, how many of those individuals who stood opposed to her have met a favorable fate?/

/The Vassal King of Jianping? Even clutching the emperor’s favor availed him naught. The crown prince consort still brought him down./

The Vassal Prince of Jianping was battered to such an extent by the tenacious Vassal King of Jianping that he remained bedridden…

The Long Clan, the Gu Clan, and even the youthfully regal crown prince consort were chastised to the point of quivering trepidation, devoid of any opportunity to present themselves.

The Lunisolar Shrine held a distinguished standing within the Three Provinces.

The Holy Daughter of the shrine was dealt such a fierce blow by the crown prince consort that her own parents could scarcely recognize her anymore.

/Bringing the Holy Daughter back required a substantial compensation in return…/

Now, it was Family Head Mu’s turn.

/That level of financial loss could only be described as a severe blow to her resources!/

Following this incident involving both Family Head and Family Head Mu, it was likely that the entire Mu Clan’s senior branch would be enveloped in despondency for an unknown span of time.

/How could they continue to be so extravagant in their future expenditures?/

Wu Shaoyin surmised that inviting disaster would lead to inevitable ruin.

Hence, she better appraise her capabilities before deciding whether to tread a risky path.

The subsequent morning found the Crown Prince Consort, brimming with vitality and renewed spirit, rousing herself at the break of dawn. Accompanied by a retinue of accountants, senior maids, and stewards, she embarked in carriages bound for the Butterfly Pavilion…

Once again, the Emperor had summoned the Crown Prince Consort to the palace early in the morning.

Initially, Qiaoqiao had no intention of involving men in this affair. As she was more than capable of handling it independently, she felt no need to lean on the Crown Prince.

A grand procession of 20 to 30 carriages, carrying several dozen accountants, over a hundred managers, elderly maids, stout matrons, senior female attendants, and maids, set off from the premises of the Mu Clan, inevitably causing a significant stir.

When news of this event reached Madam Consort Mu, Mu Qingya was utterly taken aback.

“The Crown Prince Consort’s inaugural destination is the Butterfly Pavilion!” Conglu stamped her foot and protested with frustration, “It appears that the Crown Prince Consort is entirely disregarding your wishes, Madam.”

Mu Qingya couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile. “Initially, it fell under Sister Chuyun’s purview, so it’s understandable that the Crown Prince Consort wishes to reclaim it. However, how well-versed is the Crown Prince Consort in the intricacies of battalion trading?”

He fretted over the possibility of the young lady squandering all of Long Chuyun’s enterprises!

Conglu couldn’t withhold her reaction, abruptly halting and stamping her foot. She exclaimed, displaying her disapproval, “My Consort! Even in this situation, your compassionate heart remains concerned for her!”

/She’s shown no concern for you, Consort./

Mu Qingya shot her a stern glance. “I had been managing these holdings on your behalf initially. It’s only just and fitting, adhering to natural order, that the Crown Prince Consort takes them back. Refrain from uttering such remarks in the future. Proceed to inform Auntie Qing and the others to properly receive the Crown Prince Consort, ensuring that the managers extend their due respect. Do not neglect this responsibility.”
