My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!-Chapter 2910 Worry

"Pay a formal visit to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Pay a formal visit to the Crown Prince Consort." The two of them bowed toward Crown Prince Mo and Qiao Mu in unison, showing clear recognition.

Qiao Mu remained cautious, her scrutinizing gaze moving back and forth between the two individuals.

"Who are you? Why did you kidnap Kongkong?"

"Crown Prince Consort, there is a misunderstanding," the woman asserted, waving her hands. "We are Senior Elder Kongyin's personal guards."

"I was tasked with retrieving Kongkong from Sikong Planet."

Zhu Fan and his wife couldn't fathom why their Master had suddenly made such a rash decision and spent so many years in monkhood. It seemed utterly foolish to them.

Qiao Mu silently observed them. "Do you have any proof?"

They claimed to be Kongyin's guards, but Qiao Mu's eyes conveyed doubt and incredulity.

Noting her suspicion, Third Aunt Zhu swiftly reached into her pocket and produced a token, offering it respectfully to Crown Prince Mo.

Crown Prince Mo merely cast a cursory glance at it before turning to Qiao Mu and giving a slight nod. "It bears the Chief Senior Elder's decree."

Only then did Qiao Mu ease up a bit and peer at them with a slightly less guarded expression. "Did my family have anything to say when you retrieved Kongkong?"

"Crown Prince Consort, due to the portal, our subordinates were in a rush. However, the process of collecting Kongkong proceeded fairly smoothly," the woman recounted. "Madam Qiao nodded in agreement after we presented the certificate."

"But it's evident that Madam Qiao was reluctant to part with Kongkong, and she truly misses you, Crown Prince Consort."

Qiao Mu nodded in silent agreement.

Her mother must be finding it extremely difficult to part with Kongkong. After all, she had raised him for so long. Kongkong was a clever and endearing child, and he had a knack for making everyone adore him. The sudden absence of such a delightful presence at home must have left her feeling quite despondent.

Qiao Mu gently stroked Kongkong's little head and regarded Third Aunt Zhu and her husband with an indifferent expression. "How is everything in my family?"

"Before we departed, everything in your household was in good order," the woman reported.

Only then did Qiao Mu breathe a sigh of relief. The intense anxiety she felt upon first seeing Kongkong seemed to have subsided somewhat.

However, an inexplicable sense of unease continued to linger in her heart, as if that foreboding feeling wouldn't dissipate.

"Were you the ones who administered the sleeping pill to Kongkong?" Qiao Mu's expression grew grim.

Third Aunt Zhu appeared somewhat embarrassed and offered a quick explanation. "Kongkong was quite unruly during our journey."

The child had been restless and constantly contemplated running away to rejoin Wei Ziqin. Fearing they would lose him and fail to report back to Senior Elder Kongyin, Third Aunt Zhu and her husband felt they had no choice but to resort to this measure.

Furthermore, the couple had no prior experience with raising children, as they themselves had none. Tolerating the antics of a mischievous child was beyond their capacity.

Qiao Mu casually cast a glance at them.

She was well aware that strangers would not willingly take care of Kongkong without any ulterior motives. However, she had no fondness for these two individuals.

The young stoic remarked with a stern expression, "The dosage of the sleeping pill was far too excessive! It's not suitable for such a young child."

This statement further embarrassed the couple.

The Crown Prince Consort's tone implied that they were at fault for not bringing Kongkong along.

"Please forgive us, Crown Prince Consort." Third Aunt Zhu was a flexible person. She promptly cupped his hands and bowed. "We have not thought it through."
