An entire box brimming with jewelry that blinded people’s eyes immediately caused Qiao Yingchun’s eyeballs to nearly jump out of their sockets. How could she be willing to let go after getting a hold of the box?

She had never seen so much beautiful jewelry in her entire life! Amethyst pendants embedded in gold, necklaces adorned with colored crystals and cornelians—a single look revealed more than 10 styles of bracelets and chain bracelets. Amongst them, the bracelet wound with pure gold silk threads was considered the most unnoticeable! The gorgeous bouquet of red and green sent her eyes spinning. She rushed to her mother, Madam née Li, with the box in her arms and impersonated a spoiled child as she exclaimed, “Mother, Mother, look! Look at these! They are so pretty!”

“Oh my!” the woman shouted with a slap of her thigh. “These are all treasures! Chun’er, you must store it safely and mustn’t lose it.” The woman acting like all of this belonged to her daughter in such a matter-of-fact manner caused the little maidservant, who had tears hanging from her eyes, to widen her eyes in shock!

Heavens! The little girl swore that she had never seen such shameless bandits!

“Mother, there’s no way I would lose it.” Qiao Yingchun gleefully held the box tightly against her chest. She wildly looked left and right before arrogantly and bossily pointing at 10-20 boxes as she ordered the flabbergasted workers next to the carriage, “This, this, as well as that, load it into the cart and carry it away.”

After saying that, she walked forward with a grin and continued petting the soft silk from earlier before looking back at her mother and commenting, “Mother, don’t you think it’s weird that there’s such a large commotion here, but Elderly Lady Qiao and that Youngest Aunt-in-Law from the third branch haven’t come over?”

This was quite illogical! If that old woman and Youngest Aunt-in-Law came first to snatch this, what would be left for her mother and her?

Madam née Li also found it odd. That old hag and Xu Jiao of the Third Branch weren’t easy-going people and were instead people who flocked to anywhere with benefits. How could they not come? If they knew that the eldest branch had bought so many high-quality materials home, there was no way they would not come here to snatch it.

Carrying a high-quality roll of brilliantly colored and patterned cloth, Madam née Li’s mouth could not close from how much she was smiling. “Who cares about them? First come, first serve. Who told them to come so slowly? They have no one but themselves to blame for being like snails.”

Only

Qiao Yingchun was fondling the rosewood box of jewelry in her arms admiringly, and her face was beaming with joy as she nodded in agreement. Then, she pointed at the dumbfounded workers on the side. “Mother, then let’s hurry and leave! You, and also you! What are you waiting for? Hurry and load these things onto the cart and follow us home.”

Heh! Qiao Mu did not expect to witness such an entertaining and brilliant show as soon as she came out. This was truly eye-opening!

A slip of her figure and the dainty child arrived in front of Qiao Yingchun. She mercilessly sent a kick to Qiao Yingchun’s kneecap.

When she cried out in pain and crumbled forward into a kneeling position, causing the box to fly out of her hands, Qiao Mu caught the box of jewelry with one hand while sitting triumphantly on a box at the same time.

Bang. The lid of the box slammed down, nearly crushing Madam née Li’s hastily retracting fingers.

“Darn girl, what are you doing?” Madam née Li screamed with her hands on her hips.

“This, this, as well as that, are all mine! Where are planning to take it?” Qiao Mu disdainfully looked at the two of them and sarcastically remarked, “Not only are you audacious but you are also quite gutsy! So many carts of my possessions and you want to drag it away without a word? I would really like to ask you two who gave you such audacity and bravado?”

Madam née Li was flushed red, and her chest was heaving as she pointed at Qiao Mu and angrily admonished, “You little girl, do you know who you are speaking to?”
