Princess Consort With Deadly Destiny

CHAPTER 2 :

Madam Lu was irritated at that moment, and she voiced her dissatisfaction.

The one who had accompanied her all this time was her daughter, Pei Wanyue whom she had given birth to earlier.

“Don't worry, Mother. Those who live in this Taoist temple are definitely relaxed Taoists. They usually do not care much about worldly affairs and their families.” Pei Wanyue smiled.

Madam Lu snorted.

This trip wasn't just to pick up Xie Qiao.

Before marrying Xie Niushan, she had a daughter from a previous marriage and kept her in her mother's place. With her husband's permission, she will bring him back this time. However, on the way home, she received a pigeon post from her husband, who said that his first daughter was getting older. It's time he came back to living a good life.

That's why he came all the way here.

She was the third wife of Xie Niushan. She married him only after the Xie family became officials in the imperial palace. He did not know who his first wife was.

She only heard rumors that her first wife was her husband's childhood friend. The first wife was known as Lady Peng, and her father was the former head of the bandit headquarters on the mountain. After she died, her husband and the Peng family managed the mountain fortress.

It was said that the people from the Peng family were not beautiful.

He was sure this would happen.

Although he had never met Lady Peng, but he had met with Madam Peng's son, Xie Waist, who was the eldest son of Madam Lu's husband.

The boy was stout and burly, plus he was half a head taller than his father and twice as big as anyone in general. He was a scary sight to see. This Xie Qiao is Xie Waist siblings, there is no way she is petite, right?

Madam Lu sighed.

“His father also said so. She was afraid that this child was not beautiful, so she wanted to take him home early to marry him off.” Lu rubbed his temple. “The children of our family are all famous in the imperial city. Now that we bring home another one, we will really be the laughingstock of the city.”

Pei Wanyue was also shocked. “But now, Uncle Xie is no longer a bandit. He can't just kidnap a man to marry my sister, can he?”

"I know? When the time comes and he cannot get married, Mr. Xie will definitely accuse me and say that I am not trying hard enough for that.” Madam Lu shook her head.

Now that he heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.

She was roughly the same age as Miss Xie, and they were about to enter the imperial city together. At some point, they will face each other. So, if the reputation of others was in the abyss of destruction, then it would also mean nothing to him.

However, if Miss Xie looked too ugly, it would make Pei Wanyue even look good.

“Quiet, Mom. If I can't get married, then I can depend on Dad for the rest of my life. There's no way they blame you for it.” Xie Qiao stepped in while speaking in a soft voice. Sounds weak and weak.

Lu jumped in shock and immediately turned around. Then, he was dumbfounded.

The newcomer was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe. He carries himself high and proud. His voice was as clear as a river flowing through the bamboo forest. Sounds crisp and light.

He did not look too excited, but there was a gentle look in his eyes. His figure was slender; his waist was thin and slender. Even so, not a single part of her showed that she was flirting. He had a slight scent of incense on his body, and he exuded an otherworldly presence until he made everything around him look dull…

“You... you are..” Lu does not really believe this. Could this be Peng's ugly daughter?

“Greetings, Mother.” Xie Qiao respectfully bowed modestly. “I Xie Qiao.”

Madam Lu swallowed her saliva.

Xie Qiao paid no attention to Lu and the people around him.

In fact, he slightly lowered his head. He seemed to be staring at the feathered fan in his hand. At first glance, it seemed like he was not paying attention.

Yet the Taoist youth by his side knew that he had seen something supernatural, or that he had known the intentions of others.

“Your appearance...your appearance is not bad. It's just that you look so lazy, it makes you look inappropriate. When we return to the imperial city, you must not act inappropriately when meeting others. You should set a good example for your two younger sisters.”

Lu watched his own daughter, then looked back at Xie Qiao. Immediately, he felt a slight discomfort.
