Princess Consort With Deadly Destiny

CHAPTER 21: The Skull Bone

Ever since Xie Qiao dug up this ghoul bone, this ghoul would naturally not continue to roam the forest, but follow him all the way here.

Back then, he was afraid someone would stain “his body”. He looked around with his eyes, and his gloomy face looked terrifying.

Unfortunately Pei Wanyue could not see this side of him.

Otherwise, he would definitely feel his hostile gaze.

After Madam Lu was reminded by Pei Wanyue, she also caught a glimpse of the package.

The package was quite large, and it seemed to contain a hard object.

Since there were so many people watching, he was hesitant to let people unpack him, so he simply said softly, “See what weird stuff he got. This girl grows up in the countryside, has a strange temperament and uses strange things.”

This was the first time he had seen people offering worms as a reward.

When he saw the sack of dried insects, he knew it must be the large rooster's food.

Pei Wanyue sighed. When he entered the house with Madam Lu, he felt a little uncomfortable and asked, “Bu, Uncle Xie must have sent out his gifts often, right?”

“Sending gifts?” Lady Lu was stunned, “No, her father never cared about her. When I first married her, I asked her if she wanted to give a gift to Xie Qiao. He said it wasn't necessary. But maybe he was destined not to live long, so your Uncle Xiamu started to worry and care for him. It would be very painful for him to see someone's child die earlier than himself.”

Speaking of this, Madam Lu sighed, “I wonder why I am angry with her today. His weak body will not be a threat to you or me.”

'Not only did he not get a good education, but he also did not have a healthy body. 'What can a girl like her do after returning to the imperial city?'

“I just hope he behaves well and wisely now. This is to make sure she doesn't ruin our reputation as the Xie family's daughter. In the future, you can also marry into a good family by relying on the surname Xie,” added Mrs Lu.

Pei Wanyue thought so too.

But for some reason, after meeting Xie Qiao, especially after seeing her pretty face, she felt a little envious.

“Bu, did you know the young man who just came in? He looks like a noble with his very beautiful features.” Pei Wanyue said again.

“He should be a businessman? There are many merchants in Floating Pavilion City.” Madam Lu thought for a moment, and then quickly reminded her, “Daughter, no matter how handsome this man looks, is useless! A businessman may be rich, but he has no power. In the eyes of those in power, the rich are like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered! Your Uncle Xiamu was also rich when he was young. But his family ran out of money just to help him become an official! This is for the sake of future generations who have decent backgrounds and belong to the upper class! The reason why I brought you to the imperial city is not to match you with a mere merchant house.”

'His daughter excels in many fields. Even if she doesn't marry a noble, she should marry a minor official, right?'

"Mother!" Pei Wanyue said awkwardly.

Although he was amazed by the handsome young master he had just seen, he thought of the discrimination he had been through for so many years, and that sense of astonishment simply disappeared.

Pei Wanyue was more interested in the package than the handsome young master.

After a while, the package was delivered to Xie Qiao's Room.

Xie Qiao sent his grandmother and granddaughter out.

The ghoul stood in front of Xie Qiao in a good manner, looking extremely nervous.

“What kind of lucky land do you want to bury? The afterlife is somewhat related to the life you lived before. You were a slave and a servant when you were alive, so the burial ground after your death should not be too good. Too much luck will hurt your grandchildren.” Xie Qiao opened the geomantic map of the surroundings and took a closer look.

“I just want to know if my children can be good citizens.”.

The ghost rubbed his hands.

“I cannot guarantee anything in this case. This favorable location will bring good luck to your descendants, but if you do not understand your own wealth, then everything will be in vain.” Xie Qiao said lightly.

"Yes yes! I understand!" The ghost immediately nodded. “It all depends on ourselves!”

Without the slightest bit of luck, no matter how strong a person was, they still meant nothing. After all, you can't make bricks without straw.

“As time goes by, the mountains and waterways in the region will care for the people. There is no shortage of hills or mountains in this area, the situation of this area is also quite prosperous. As long as you do not violate any restrictions, then there will be no major problems in your family. So the key aspect here is the.” drains Xie Qiao looked up slightly. “What do you think of this place?”

The ghoul raised his head to look. After staring at him for a long time, he still did not understand.

He shook his head.

“Not according to your wishes?” Xie Qiao frowned slightly.

"No no! It's just I don't know if it's good.” The ghoul became nervous.

“You are looking for your own resting place. It should be somewhere you like.” Xie Qiao muttered softly. “There are small springs near here. The springs flow out from there and create a small meandering stream near the mainland here.”

“Air here may not be much, but it is enough. This soil forms a wavy pattern following the flow of the river. The resulting windfall will be enough for your descendants to own a piece of land. There should be no problem for them to be prosperous for a decade or two. They can also use their name after that.” Xie Qiao added.

“Only one or two decades?” The ghost is confused.

“You are also a bit greedy. If someone takes care of your grave, then they can prosper for three or five decades. But you don't have any brothers or friends here. This is the best you can get. Your grandchildren will get what they can, but the rest is up to them. If they know what they have to do, it is not impossible for future generations to prosper. You're just a bunch of rotten bones. How much longer do you plan on taking care of them?”

The ghoul laughed in embarrassment.

When he thought about it, the Grand Immortal was right.

He was lucky enough to meet the Grand Immortal. Otherwise, he would still be rotting in that barren wilderness.

Now that he had noticed this place, he was loving this place more and more by the second.

He only hoped that his son and grandson could obtain this bit of luck!

Now that the ghost was satisfied, Xie Qiao felt that his side of his body was not as cold as before.

Then Xie Qiao went on to inquire more about the time of his birth and the time of his death. This would be his Yin and Yang destiny.

He was in a hurry to return to the imperial city, so naturally he couldn't wait for the exact date to bury him. So he could check if that day or the next day there were bad moments that would clash with his fate.

After some calculations, Xie Qiao set the time for the next morning.

If the time comes, the sun will shine brightly but Yang energy is not that strong, so it does not harm his soul. It would be more suited to his Yin and Yang elements.

They could have done it that night, too, but the timing wasn't enough.

Although everything is minimal, there is still a lot to do.

Tomorrow morning they will have to dig his grave and also prepare his funeral offerings.

After Xie Qiao had rested for about two hours, he was ready to move. When he opened the door, he suddenly saw the imperial bodyguard he had sentenced.

"What a coincidence. Now that you're here too, how about coming with me to dig a grave?” Xie Qiao opened his mouth to ask.

Qin Zhi was stunned. His face immediately stiffened. "Miss Xie, our master still has important matters to settle. I'm afraid we can't wander around with you.”

Xie Qiao was stunned.

“Then, I won't hold you.” Xie Qiao did not mind either.

There were few people he could trust in such a thing.

In this rank, some of them were full of luck and Yang energy; they would not be too affected. However some of them did not have enough Yang energy. Especially the imperial guards before him. He even got sullied with anger. If this dark energy were not eliminated, the condition would only get worse.

The only thing was that there was no way he would spend his time nagging her.

Xie Qiao only smiled as he went to prepare.

“Mother, she's out again. It seems he didn't bring the package. What do you think he's doing outside?” Pei Wanyue's face was filled with curiosity.
