Chapter 2842 Who's Making Trouble!

Those individuals pouted sulkily and grumbled, "We're not going to pilfer your meal money." Each of them retrieved money from their pockets and tossed it onto the table before joining the crowd streaming out onto the main street.
Qiao Mu overheard the commotion downstairs.
She furrowed her brow and exchanged glances with Huifeng and the others.
"Crown Prince Consort, should I go check it out first?"
Qiao Mu shook her head. "We'll go together."
After making this decision, she summoned the waiter to settle the bill. Then, she led Huifeng, Liye, and their companions out into the street toward Butterfly Pavilion's entrance, blending with the crowd.
Throughout the journey, Liye remained by the side of the young Crown Prince Consort and the Crown Prince Consort. Whenever people pressed in too closely, he would calmly extend his arm to firmly create some space.
Two of the individuals he had pushed away cursed at him, but without saying a word, Liye swiftly silenced them with his saber…
Everyone grew increasingly frustrated. Witnessing Liye's fearless combat skills, those who had initially tried to squeeze in quickly retreated.
"Please be more gentle," the young Crown Prince Consort implored.
"Yes!" Liye acknowledged the order with a nod.
Huifeng couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He silently led his men while following the Crown Prince Consort.
Upon arriving at Butterfly Pavilion's entrance, they found it completely encircled by a throng of people. There was no way for them to approach.
Two bamboo stretchers had been placed in front of the entrance, and white cotton shrouded the faces of the lifeless bodies lying on them.
Approximately a dozen men and women knelt nearby, their cries ranging from deep anguish to mournful sobs.
Judging from their clothing, they appeared to be members of a modest family residing in the central district. They belonged to the category of families that didn't suffer from hunger but also didn't enjoy great affluence.
Qiao Mu approached, with Li Ye using his elbows to clear a path for her, escorting her through the crowd.
Their group moved swiftly and efficiently. Dressed in black attire, they all appeared youthful, yet their cultivation levels seemed far from feeble.
The young lady at the center, concealed beneath the quilt, possessed delicate features but bore icy, resolute eyes. Her fiery-red attire stood out conspicuously.
Although her entourage remained mostly silent, those in the vicinity tactfully stepped aside.
Certain individuals emanated an imposing aura as they walked past, creating a strong pressure. Currently, everyone could sense this force emanating from the young lady in the center. Unless they were utterly oblivious, they promptly yielded the way.
In the capital, even a brick could crush three to five high-ranking officials and noblewomen to death. People here indeed possessed keen discernment.
"Who is causing a disturbance at Butterfly Pavilion's entrance?" Shopkeeper Hu emerged and furrowed his brows upon seeing the mournful family members kneeling there.
These individuals likely hailed from the families of the two deceased guests from the previous day's accident. However, he had already dispatched messengers to contact the families and had approached them with utmost sincerity regarding compensation.
/Why have they come here to stir up trouble?/
"Oh, Master! How can we go on after leaving behind such a prestigious Viscount's family in such haste?" An elderly woman wailed as she collapsed onto the ground. Her tears flowed freely, filling the deep crevices and wrinkles on her face.
"Shopkeeper Hu." The young Crown Prince Consort approached and stood before him.
Shopkeeper Hu's surprise gradually transformed into delight, and his furrowed brow relaxed slightly. He promptly bowed and said, "Greetings to the Crown Prince Consort."
