Chapter 1283: Why Did You Hit My Egg

She was so quick to act. The eldest young sir twitched his mouth as he quickly dodged, causing Qiao Mu to end up kicking a table instead.

Before it could flip over, Mo Lian pressed it down with one hand.

*Bam!* In the end, the table stood firm.

“Why did you hit my egg?” Qiao Mu cast Eldest Young Sir Qin a cold glance. “You had better give me a very good reason. Or else I’ll beat you to death.”

Everyone: “…”

Situ Yi was splitting his sides in laughter, unable to even say anything.

“Since it is your egg, why would it slink off to the forecourt by itself?” The eldest young sir looked at this little fellow in amusement, feeling that this stoic face was a bit too entertaining.

Qiao Mu deadpanned, “Taking a walk.”

T-Taking, taking a walk?

Her dad, Qiao Zhongbang, couldn’t stop his brows from jerking, and he wanted to cry on the inside. His daughter didn’t even know how to tell a lie with a more normal reason.

“An egg?” The eldest young sir’s smile grew.

“What do you understand, taking a walk can help with its hatching.” Qiao Mu carried that huge egg and turned around to walk out.

At the end, she even tossed them a look of extreme disdain. “So ignorant and inexperienced. People like you who don’t have eggs[1] would not understand. Step aside, don’t block the way.”

Everyone: “…”

This sentence sounded a bit grating on the ears!

Crown Prince Consort, come back and say clearly, who doesn’t have eggs…

After a while, Duan Yue finally burst out laughing and pointed at Eldest Young Sir Qin, whose handsome face had stiffened, hooting, “You don’t have eggs! Hahahahaha!”

“Crown Prince, have the crown prince consort come back and make herself clear!” The eldest young sir said to Crown Prince Mo in both amusement and exasperation.

Crown Prince Mo turned his head aside while sniggering, ignoring him.

Even long after Qiao Mu walked out of the courtyard, she could still hear Duan Yue and the other people laughing their heads off, and she chided them for being nutcases in her mind.

She knocked the egg forcefully. “Will you be able to come out right away after absorbing that black spirit jade!”

“How is that possible? I need at least a thousand pieces of black spirit jade before I can come out of the egg. You think I am a weakling like you humans? The amount of black spirit jade I need is enormous!”

When Qiao Mu heard this, her entire face blackened, and she glowered at the egg, lambasting, “Then you still expended that much effort just to steal that piece of black spirit jade from Eldest Qin? Are you sick in the head!”

What use was this drop in the bucket? Would stealing it do anything?

“A single piece is better than none, alright! After absorbing this piece, there’ll only be 999 pieces to go, right?” The egg spoke with conviction.

Qiao Mu did not say anything further and merely tossed up the egg. As the egg screeched “Woman, you’re kicking again…”

*Piu…* That egg was kicked flying.

Two hours later, the egg finally rolled its way back with great difficulty. When it saw the little fellow lying on the bed comfortably, it felt its lungs throbbing painfully from indignation.

It was too aggravating to be encumbered with such an unconscientious master.

Look at how upset she was when he brought her a piece of black spirit jade. She kicked him out so far away that it had to hop and bounce for a long time before it could get back.

The egg “sat” inside its small cotton nest in a huff and did not utter a word for some time.

Meanwhile, Qiao Mu was eating from a platter of fruit as she laid on the bed. “Rather than exerting that much effort to steal a piece of black spirit jade, why don’t you tell me where this kind of black spirit jade deposit exists so I can go excavate it.”

The originally dejected egg suddenly bounced out from its cotton nest, crying out excitedly, “You-you, you are willing to find black spirit jade for me.”

Qiao Mu paused in peeling her banana.
