The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Xie Qiao could not help but smile upon hearing that.

Of course Xie Pinghuai would hate her. He was a wealthy, reckless young master.

“It’s quiet at home, so this ought to make it more lively.” Xie Qiao winked. “Look how wealthy he is. He can pay 50 taels of silver per month just like that. Seems like Mother gives him sufficient money each month. It’s obvious from Eldest Brother’s attitude that this young brother must be controlled. He’s 12 now, so there’s still time. It’ll be too late if we do this later.”

“You’re so kind to both young masters.” Chun Er could not help but feel unappreciated on Xie Qiao’s behalf.

The courtyard was very secluded, and apart from the Eldest Young Master, the other members of the Xie family hardly visited.

Meanwhile, Eldest Young Master had only come to dig the well.

Xie Qiao did not mind what she said.

To her, the white jade that she had given was just something small. It was just for convenience, nothing too marvelous.

Before her father had married Ms. Lu, her siblings had been being ignored. Theoretically, the eldest sister should carry out the responsibility of a mother. It was just that she was weak, so she did not ask much.

Although she had been living and learning at the Taoist temple, she was not really unbothered.

Especially the first time she had laid her eyes on her siblings, she could feel an innate closeness.

Xie Qiao looked outside the window and said coldly, “Pinghuai definitely won’t be able to get himself a master tomorrow.”

Chun Er was stunned upon hearing that.

Although Xie Qiao had not really performed physiognomy on him, she could feel something when she glanced through him. Xie Pinghuai’s fate had not changed much, and it was even a little dimmed. Therefore, he would definitely fail to get himself a master.

“Then why did you give him the thing?” Chun Er was confused.

“To watch him getting beaten?” Xie Qiao smirked and chuckled like a bell.

Chun Er was stunned to hear that.

The next morning, the sun was shining bright.

Xie Qiao did not rush to the academy. Instead, she had breakfast in the main courtyard.

“Remember to be nice when you see the teacher. Just be as nice as you can whenever you’re with the teacher until he accepts you as his disciple, understand?” Xie Pinggang, who was at the dining table, was terrifyingly fierce.

“Alright, alright. I got it!” Xie Pinghuai was impatient.

“Oh yeah, where’s the second one?” Under Ms. Lu’s influence, Xie Niushan addressed Pei Wanyue differently now.

Ms. Lu smiled. “She said she doesn’t understand her homework, so she went to the academy early in the morning to speak to the teacher.”

Xie Niushan nodded.

“I’ll send Brother to see Mr. Xiao later.” Xie Qiao looked at Xie Pinghuai, her face filled with kindness. “When it comes to being humble and respectful, I’m pretty qualified. Learn from me along the way.”

Xie Pinghuai was irritated. “I don’t think there’s a need for that?”

He had already thought it through. When he went to see the teacher today, he would present to be unteachable or a little retarded. The teacher was old-fashioned. When he saw Xie Pinghuai behaving like that, he would definitely chase him out immediately!

However, what had he done now that his eldest sister wanted to go with him?

Xie Qiao did not even look at him. She asked calmly while eating, “Can it be that Brother has a reason that you can’t tell me?”

Xie Pinghuai trembled and immediately shook his head. “No!”

“Great. I’ll send you there. We’re siblings. We should talk more,” added Xie Qiao.

Xie Pinghuai’s eyelids twitched.

Xie Pinggang was worried. He thought there was definitely something wrong with this guy as he was being unusually quiet. He thought about it. “Show me the jade.”

“Oh…” Xie Pinghuai felt helpless. He stretched his hand into his clothes and rummaged through them.

However, he was stunned as he did that.

He looked panicked now.

“W-where did my jade go!? Ahh! Where did my jade go!?”
