The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny
Chapter 94 - Beggar
Many young ladies knew that the Xie family used to be bandits. However, they knew nothing much about their other private matters.
Now that they heard the family was poor, their curiosity was piqued.
“Look at that girl, Xie Xi. She’s a fourth-grade official’s family’s young mistress, but she does things that a maid does. It must be that the family is too poor, right?”
“That doesn’t make sense. That Master Xie is a general, after all. I heard he obtained many rewards when he fought the barbarians back then. Even without those, his salary would be quite high as a fourth-grade official, right?” The rest could not believe that.
The young lady asked, “Do your families only depend on your father and brothers to support the family?”
The rest naturally shook their heads when they heard that.
They had many servants at home. It would be insufficient to depend on their father and brothers’ salaries.
Only with the farms their fathers and brothers run at home, as well as the properties and rewards accumulated for years, could they have steady support for the people at home.
As they thought about it, they understood why the Xie family was poor.
It had only been a short time since they had become officials. They spent more money than they made.
“I heard that General Xie spent his silver to buy his official position. I’m sure you guys know about Eldest Young Master Xie. He had the eligibility to enter the academy when he came to the Imperial City during earlier years, but he didn’t. Why was that? Naturally, it was because they didn’t have money nor treasures! The Xie family had to tighten its belt to send the two young ones here…”
“That’s right. General Xie used silvers to send Xie Pinghuai and Xie Xi here back then. He was so unwilling he was staring at the silvers as if he had never seen them before!”
“The family’s mistress did not come from a reputable family as well. I heard that the family does business, which means they have silver. I wonder how much they paid for the dowry.”
“That Lu family shouldn’t have given much of a dowry. She married a second time, after all. The granny who works at my home heard that from their servant when they met each other on the street.”
“Now it seems… Xie Qiao is quite pitiful.”
“That’s right. She wasn’t born in a loving family, nor was she raised by General Xie. Now that the stepmother is managing the house, what’s left for her?”
“If she’s so happy by getting that little amount of silver beans, I wonder what she is like at home. Please don’t tell me that she isn’t given a monthly allowance!?”
The people revealed looks of sympathy when they heard that.
However, Xia Yayun could not help but snicker.
‘Beggar!’
At that moment, someone carried Xie Qiao into a room.
Zhao Xuanjing was a man, and given his unique identity, it would be inappropriate if he followed. He had his eyes on the white jade for luck and said, “Since that lady is the brightest of all, get her to bring the white jade to me when she wakes up.”
The people did not think too much into it. There were only a few pieces of such a jade. Xie Qiao was very fortunate. It made sense that the Crown Prince wanted to ask her who she was going to take as her master.
Two imperial doctors entered the room.
Master Lu, Teacher Zhu, and the other grannies responsible for taking care of the young ladies in the academy were waiting there.
“How did she pass out suddenly?” Master Lu asked while looking at Xie Qiao’s pale face.
Teacher Zhu felt rather awkward. “She merely danced with a sword…”
“Merely danced with a sword?” The imperial doctor turned his head to look at Teacher Zhu, “What are you talking about!? It isn’t an exaggeration to call this young lady a walking dead. Her insides are weak. It’s unbelievable that she’s been alive to this day!”
Master Lu and Teacher Zhu were stunned when they heard that.
“Is it that bad!?” Teacher Zhu was really shocked.
“There’s not much vitality in her body, and her Yang energy is weak. She needs more rest daily and shouldn’t exhaust herself,” the imperial doctor added.
