Princess Consort With Deadly Destiny

CHAPTER 25: The More You Know The Faster You Die

In fact, many people who knew Xie Qiao felt that he should just go with the flow instead of humiliating his immature little sister.

Xie Qiao was not angry either.

He just sat there, looked down, and said softly, “This man died in the wilderness and it took me several hours to dig up his bones before packing them. Yesterday I had the wind, and today I still feel dizzy. When I went out to buy medicine, this person was offended by Miss Pei, I definitely want the person who mistreated me to apologize to me.”

"Miss Pei, you're a good-natured girl. You just need to reveal your mistake by sincerely cleaning up the bones. I'm sure he won't be petty to you. Also, you want to do good things, don't you? You may not be able to do anything else, but packing bones is a simple task. You can do it, right?”

Xie Qiao spoke softly.

He sat there and looked very polite. His voice was refreshing, like the sound of pearls and jade.

“It was also true. Miss Pei, you open the package. If you really broke the taboo, it's time to fix it now.”

"Miss Xie was an accomplished sage from the Water Moon Shrine. There must be a reason he asked his sister to do this. He didn't mean to hurt his sister, did he?”

"Miss Pei, the bones aren't too difficult to reset. Your sister can dig it herself. You can definitely do what he does, even if it's not perfect.”

Almost everyone who spoke up this time was a follower of the Water Moon Shrine.

When they opened their mouths, Pei Wanyue became so moody that he almost fainted.

'Did I do all this to do something that could barely match Xie Qiao?'

Xie Qiao's face only made Pei Wanyue even more furious.

‘He looks very fragile and pathetic. It was as if I was the one oppressing him!'

Xie Qiao looked prettier than her and had a poorer background than her. No matter what, Xie Qiao was better than him!

‘How do outsiders know that Xie Qiao has such a small substance? He might be illiterate, but he gained so much popularity just because of his attractive face!'

Pei Wanyue felt bad. 'Why would an ugly woman like Madam Peng give birth to such a beautiful daughter?!'

When he thought of being suppressed further by Xie Qiao after they returned to the imperial city, he felt dejected.

'But there is an elephant in the room that needs to be dealt with at the moment.

'How do I say no...?'

Pei Wanyue's emotions overflowed within him. When she saw that her tears were not working, she decided to act as if she was going to faint—

"Coughs! Cough!" Xie Qiao suddenly held onto his chest and coughed swiftly, as if he could no longer stand up. He grabbed Pei Wanyue's wrist. “N-Nona Pei, hurry up, my health is not good. I'm worried I'll pass out soon.”

“...” Pei Wanyue felt as if someone had stabbed her heart.

He turned his head and looked at Xie Qiao carefully.

He suspected that he was doing this intentionally.

'How did this happen by chance? When I almost fainted, she grabbed my wrist and said something like this?!'

But at this moment, Xie Qiao's face turned pale, and he leaned weakly on the table. He seemed a little too convincing.

Pei Wanyue was caught in a dilemma.

Everyone looked at him.

Even Madam Lu was surprised by Xie Qiao's appearance. “Quick and pack. Your brother looks really sick. If something goes wrong..”

'If Xie Qiao loses his reputation, it's not my fault. However, if his body was injured or he lost his life on the road, how would I explain myself when I returned home? !'

When Pei Wanyue heard his mother's words, he was angry and sad.

But he can't do anything at all.

Everyone looked at him as if he had just committed a great crime!

The seemingly unhealthy Xie Qiao looked as if he could not close his eyes without seeing him packing up his bones. He made everyone look at him as if they were urging him to hurry!

Pei Wanyue could only appear bold and walk.

He closed his eyes and squatted down as if this was a huge task.

Some people can't stand this. But Xie Qiao held onto his chest as he said, “Nona Pei, you must have paid close attention when opening it. You just have to do it with the courage you have when you open it. I believe in you, Miss Pei! I'm sure you're the kindest person. How could you not accomplish such a trivial thing? Cough!"

Pei Wanyue was furious.

He lingered and took a sweet moment before finally returning the package to its place after much difficulty.

The audience outside is almost gone.

After Pei Wanyue finished, she returned to her room and cried furiously.

In Xie Qiao's house, only the Zhou Imperial Guards and his group were left.

Xie Qiao let out a small sigh and stood up. “Is there anything your group wants to ask?”

“This bones... Does it really belong to Master Lu's servant?” The Zhou Imperial Guards asked him directly.

Xie Qiao pursed his lips lightly and replied, “Ya.”

The Zhou Imperial Guards were shocked and shocked. “I think you used it as an excuse to get rid of the problem. I never thought it was true..Miss Xie, may I ask you to meet our young master?”

A few words were not suitable to ask in this kind of situation. They are also not heard in the public ear. That included the imperial bodyguards on the side of the young master.

The young master did not seem to be an ordinary person. He should be a descendant of nobility.

Even if not, he should be related to the royal family.

There was nothing in the Floating Pavilion City that deserved the attention of the royal family. If anything, it would be jade here.

There was also a major incident that happened more than half a year ago.

The big incident was related to jade as well, so…

It didn't take much of a guess to know this young master was here to investigate something left behind half a year ago.

So at first, Xie Qiao did not say anything about the identity of the corpse because he was afraid of causing trouble. He had not expected Pei Wanyue to behave like this, so he had no choice but to raise it.

Xie Qiao nodded.

The Zhou Imperial Guards were overjoyed. He immediately invited her.

This honored guest was in the best room of the inn at the time.

Zhao Xuanjing had not expected to meet this Miss Xie so many times in such a short period of time.

Please sit down, Miss Xie. Zhao Xuanjing was also worried that Miss Xie's body would weaken again.

"What do you want to ask?" Xie Qiao was very straightforward. He looked confident as usual.

"Miss Xie, your calculations are already right up to the point of finding Lu Quanlin's body. I wonder if I can ask for your help?” zhao Xuanjing said.

He seems to be quite knowledgeable about the workings in the field. In fact, he is very generous. This time, he took out pieces of silver worth 20 taels each. There are 10 in total.

"Are you looking for something?" Xie Qiao asked.

"Indeed. You are amazing, Miss.” Zhao Xuanjing defied his heart and gave him a blank compliment.

“This is not easy to do.” Xie Qiao shook his head.

Zhao Xuanjing's heart was pounding. “You mean... this thing... can't be found?”.

“Not difficult to find, it's just this thing. Nothing good comes from looking for it. If you get into a lot of trouble because of this, will you regret it?” Xie Qiao spoke slowly.

Zhao Xuanjing did not fully trust him at first. It even occurred to her mind that the incident was just a coincidence.

But now that he heard it, his heart was completely shocked.

"Miss Xie, honestly. The thing I was looking for..”.

“Wait,” Xie Qiao suddenly spoke. She didn't know if she should cry or laugh. “I don't want to know what things are related to him. The more you know, the more troublesome.” is
