My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 1826

Chapter 1826: Two Female Criminals?

“Then what should we do now?” Qi Xuanxuan whispered into Qiao Mu’s ear.

What else could they do? Just play it cool and pretend nothing happened.

Qiao Mu cast her a side glance, upon which Qi Xuanxuan nodded in instantaneous comprehension, “Alright! Then let’s drag the little fatty and the rest into this too. If those people come pick a fight, all of us will take them on and beat them up together!”

Qiao Mu: …

Why did she feel like she and Xuanxuan weren’t on the same wavelength!

Qiao Mu sat down exasperatedly, still next to Sis Qi.

Soon, the captain sent a crew member over to pa.s.s out some food. A bit of dried fish was to serve as their breakfast.

Of course, this beat having nothing in this kind of situation.

“Sis Qi, how much did you pay to also get meals included?” Qi Xuanxuan asked her curiously.

“I paid a total of 150 spirit currency for myself and Huanhuan.” Sis Qi lamented, “This cost me more than half the earnings from selling the ancestral house and lands in the countryside.”

Qi Xuanxuan nodded in empathy. “This captain is quite the black-hearted merchant.”

Yet Sis Qi justified, “That isn’t entirely so. After all, we are traveling a rather long distance. Besides, the captain of this s.h.i.+p is active on these waters throughout the year, so he is very experienced. My only hope is that we arrive safe and sound in Polan Prefecture. There is nothing else that I wish for.”

Qi Xuanxuan nodded. “Well said.”

“Do you want me to share some dried fish with you?” Sis Qi felt awkward being the only one with food.

“Oh, that’s not necessary.” Qi Xuanxuan hastily waved her hand. “We have just eaten. Let Huanhuan eat it.”

This dried fish had a pungent fishy smell, and it made Qi Xuanxuan woozy just being next to it. Besides, the mother and daughter duo only had this as their breakfast. They certainly wouldn’t s.n.a.t.c.h food from a child.

“Huanhuan, don’t eat too quickly.” Sis Qi smiled while stroking her daughter’s head.

“Make way, make way, make way!” Several angry shouts came from outside the large cabin. Afterwards, someone yanked the door open.

Three to four men dressed in cyan servant clothing showed off their buff arms as they appeared at the doorway. They announced sternly, “Unrelated people can scram. Our young sir is searching for two female criminals who escaped after hitting someone. Don’t get in the way!”

Qiao Mu and Qi Xuanxuan exchanged glances with creased brows.

They weren’t looking for a fight, yet the other person was!

“Scram, get out of the way!” The men roughly kicked aside the people sitting near the door.

The group of women promptly huddled into a ball and squeezed to the side. They wished for nothing more than to make themselves invisible.

Qiao Mu stood up.

Qi Xuanxuan naturally stood up with her.

The little fatty had been drowsy after having a bad night’s sleep, but he opened his eyes wide when he saw Qiao Mu and Qi Xuanxuan standing up. He promptly hopped up and shouted at the men, “What are you doing?”

The cyan-clothed servant glowered at the little fatty. “Sit down, d*mn fatso! It’s none of your business! You two, come out with me to see the young sir.”

“Yo-ho, these punks are quite c.o.c.ky!” Mentor Zhou whacked his head before Ma Ta could finish his sentence.

“Speak properly. Don’t sound like a hooligan.”

Ma Ta twitched his mouth exasperatedly. He walked out of the crowd and stood beside the little fatty. “What’s up? These bros are acting the bailiff and arresting people? You’re just lackeys, so don’t act so self-important. Careful that you encounter someone you shouldn’t offend.”
