Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Tonight’s Dramatic Reversal—My Coming-of-Age Ceremony for You (Part 2)

This straightforward answer made the official’s gaze flicker. He lowered his eyes and remained silent. But his hands didn’t slow, quickly opening the letters and pulling out the papers inside, reading swiftly.

When he read the first one, the contents of the letter made his face change dramatically.

Then, he quickly drew out several other letters, scanning their contents one by one. The more he read, the paler his complexion became, and he glanced unbelievingly at Mu Xiong from time to time.

Fatty Shao squeezed through the crowd with difficulty to get to Mu Qingge. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

He tugged at Mu Qingge’s sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Boss, I see this old codger’s expression is off! I suspect he has ill intentions; we need to come up with a plan quickly."

Mu Qingge was somewhat surprised by Fatty Shao’s perceptiveness.

However, this matter was not suitable to involve him.

So she simply replied softly, "Hold your horses. Just watch."

The subtle hint made Fatty Shao’s small eyes brightened with understanding. Knowing his boss was about to play dirty, he laughed and said, "Alright then, I’ll stand by and watch you display your might!" With that, he quietly distanced himself from Mu Qingge.

That nimble move was truly akin to a mudfish. His heaps of fat didn’t hinder his speed at all!

Seeing this, Mu Qingge’s eye twitched, sincerely impressed.

After Fatty Shao slipped away, the official had already finished reading the letters. Ignoring the curious glances from his peers, he glanced around the crowd.

Soon, he spotted the distinguished and extraordinarily graceful presence of Prince Rui, Qin Jinhao.

He quickly approached Prince Rui, the tightly clenched papers in his hand still slightly trembling.

"Your Highness, Prince Rui, this old servant has a report!" As he reached Qin Jinhao, he bowed with clasped hands.

Seeing this, Bai Xiyue’s eyes hid an even greater joy. It seemed as if her plan had succeeded. She gaze lingered affectionately on Prince Rui, Qin Jinhao, as though waiting for him to unleash his fury and order the arrest of the Mu Family.

Of course, she was just a foster child living in the Mu Family. Even if implicated, she would soon be fine.

What’s more, she was Prince Rui’s woman after all?

At this moment, Bai Xiyue felt immensely grateful for her past decision. If it hadn’t been Prince Rui she saved from poisoning, her life might have been ruined.

Now, as Prince Rui’s woman, she even foresaw her future standing above others, as the queen mother of the realm.

She waited expectantly, but Qin Jinhao’s expression remained calm as he took those letters and glanced down at the contents.

Bai Xiyue watched Qin Jinhao’s expression secretly, like expecting praise.

Yet, amid her anticipation, Qin Jinhao’s face darkened after reading the letters. His sharp, firm features became even more pronounced, further highlighting his cold aura.

With wrath in his voice, he shouted, "Who dares to slander Lord Mu so disgracefully!"

That anger seemed genuine. Even Bai Xiyue, who knew the inside story, was startled.

She seemed to not understand Qin Jinhao’s reaction at first but quickly realized that he might be acting just for show to Mu Xiong.

Punishing too early might add a touch of defamation to the act.

Upon realizing this, Bai Xiyue slowly relaxed, quietly waiting for Qin Jinhao’s next move.

She thought she had set up all the groundwork beforehand. How the matter unfolds and the fate of the Mu Family should be the business of this man.

As a considerate woman, how could she steal her man’s thunder?

Once Qin Jinhao spoke, everyone quieted down, afraid to even breathe.
