Princess Consort With Deadly Destiny
CHAPTER 19: Miss Xie Very Kind
The half-eternal Xie was one of Mo Lingzi's great disciples. The townspeople from the Floating Pavilion City as well as the nearby towns around him respected him a lot.
His master rarely went down the mountain, and it was hard to get a chance to meet him.
So when people got into trouble, they would look for the half-eternal Xie.
They all knew him.
They only knew that the Half-Eternal Demon Xie had an indifferent attitude, did not like to laugh, and was grumpy. So in front of him, everyone talked about serious things and never spoke nonsense.
She had heard before that this Young Miss Xie was born in a lay family, and she was raised in a Taoist temple because of her poor health.
Since she was so beautiful, she must have come from a good family.
'Who would have thought his stepmother was so clever?'
The counter attendant looked at Madam Lu, and her eyes were full of disdain.
Madam Lu's face was hot smoldering, and she wanted to open her mouth to ask where Xie Qiao had gotten the ginseng from.
Before he opened his mouth, Pei Wanyue immediately grabbed Madam Lu, and said to Xie Qiao, “Sorry, Big Brother. My mother didn't mean that. He was just worried that you were uneducated and would accidentally break the Xie family's rules. That's it, now it's a serious loan payment, my mother of course won't say anything!”
The Water Moon Shrine was located in the mountains, so having some good ginseng products was also a normal thing.
Many of the Xie family servants accompanied them throughout the journey. He couldn't let people think that he and his mother mistreated Xie Qiao.
“Ehem.” Xie Qiao held onto his chest and coughed weakly.
“Are you the sister of Young Miss Xie?! Why are you talking to him like that? I think you look more like an uneducated person!” When the granny couple standing beside Xie Qiao saw Xie Qiao's fragile state, they instantly became excited.
This woman had lived for many years, and she knew that Pei Wanyue's words were not well-meaning.
“Young lady, I will help you get into the house and rest,” the little girl also said quickly.
Xie Qiao replied and headed straight for the second floor of the inn without looking towards Madam Lu.
It was just that the Taoist temple was a very boring place. There was not much they could do, so he let them settle at the foot of the mountain.
People used to call them Grandma Wan and Chun Er.
Chun Er treats her like a porcelain doll and helps her get inside the house.
Xie Qiao only thought that his stepmother and stepbrother were a little annoying. He just wants to find peace and quiet and not get too sick.
But Grandma Wan downstairs didn't think so.
He knew that Xie Qiao was a junior, and he was Xie Qiao's servant. So he could not direct his anger at this woman, so his eyes instead looked at Pei Wanyue.
While packing Xie Qiao's belongings, he grumbled, “Why is there such a cruel person in this world?! Can't you see my Young Miss is not in good health?! If something bad happens, even if I have to sacrifice my life for it, I will make you pay!”
Pei Wanyue's eyes immediately turned red.
“Bu... I'm just trying to be nice.” Pei Wanyue trembled in anger.
Xie Qiao's health wasn't good, so he hid himself whenever he wanted to!
Now, to outsiders, it seemed like he was making Xie Qiao so angry that he could not get out of bed!
“Health is not good? I think he is fine now, and he can be in the wild all night.” Lu immediately responds to the injustice that befell his daughter.
But when he said this, not only did the counter attendant and Grandma Wan not take it anymore, the other townspeople couldn't take it anymore either.
“We all know that Miss Xie's health is not good. How could you not know as his mother?”
"Miss Xie takes medicine from the drugstore every month. All tonic. The doctor said that he might only live a few more years. How is it all fake?!”
“A few years ago, Miss Xie went down the mountain and fainted on the road. At that moment, he almost stopped breathing! You two still think he's acting!?”
