Princess Consort With Deadly Destiny

CHAPTER 27 :

Zhao Xuanjing raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a puzzled look.

When he met this young lady, he had spent a total of two hundred and sixty silver, including the previous meeting. Instead, he simply gave her some general advice.

Some words were too mysterious to comprehend, but the little he could understand, he stored them in his memories.

"Miss Xie, your advice is very expensive.” Zhao Xuanjing smiled, despite looking a little stiff.

“Let's talk about this amount of silver. Young Master won't part with him?” Xie Qiao remained calm as usual, nothing to lose. “Silver I received from you is not much. Those who can afford it will not feel anything. Plus, you offered me this amount as per your own choice without me asking.”

Zhao Xuanjing agreed.

He has offered some money willingly.

'This is the first time I've done this. So I can't say he's greedy for my money.'

“Thank you, Young Miss. I look forward to seeing you again in the future.” Zhao Xuanjing felt that it was getting late now and he did not want to chat any further.

“Hmm, I will definitely meet you again.” Xie Qiao nodded.

“...” Zhao Xuanjing looked at him suspiciously, and deliberately pretended to be stupid, “You will soon depart for the imperial city. You are a female businessman, but you have never been to an imperial city before?”

Xie Qiao laughed.

“How the Young Master spoke as if he was talking to the First Lady standing among a group of men. Everyone declares him their true love, yet you know it's just a lie.” Xie Qiao rubbed his toes on the ground twice and spoke softly, “But don't worry, Young Master, even if I meet you in the Imperial City, I'm not worried, I'll pretend I don't know you.”

Xie Qiao's words were too straightforward, and it broke Zhao Xuanjing's indifferent attitude.

He is somewhat sensitive in his identity. If the case is resolved, it will be difficult to tell others that he is relying on a prophecy.

It was not that the prophecy was bad, and he was also innocent of it.

Someone will use this to accuse him of not doing his job properly. It would only invite more trouble for him.

“Then, I thank you, Young Miss,” Zhao Xuanjing replied in earnest.

This Young Miss is so smart that it pisses her off.

“I should be the one to thank you. After all, I am an unmarried woman and come from a respectable family!” Xie Qiao's tone of voice was relaxed, even slightly arrogant.

'As an unmarried Young Miss, how could I foresee everywhere, and even get acquainted with a man?

'So pretending not to know each other is the best!'

Zhao Xuanjing's eyelids twitched, but he saw that Xiao Qiao was very serious about this.

After a while, Xie Qiao packed his things and boarded the waiting carriage.

Xie Qiao left happily without looking back. He did not glance at the group of people accompanying him. The big rooster by his side received his full attention. He gave more attention than anyone, including Young Master.

Zhao Xuanjing couldn't see anything was wrong, but something felt strange.

“Young Master, is Miss Xie really a noble and arrogant person?” The Zhou Imperial Guards could only sigh.

“How do you know? He seems to be money-minded.”

No matter how stubborn he looked, he immediately changed his behavior upon seeing the silver.

His facial expression changed faster than turning the page.

“With so many people accompanying you, everyone knows that you come from an unusual background. However, this girl will not look at you differently. He is very likely to be a noble and proud person.” The Zhou Imperial Guards spoke solemnly.

Zhao Xuanjing raised his eyebrows, “Maybe he thinks there are too many ugly people around him, so he can't bear to see them.”

“...” Eyelids Imperial Guard Zhou twitch.

'In the past few days, I felt Young Master become softer, and it was just an illusion!'

…

Xie Qiao was sitting on a carriage presented to him as a gift by the residents of the Floating Pavilion City. All of his coachmen were his own people, so he felt more comfortable riding the carriage.

After handling things alone, her stepmother and stepbrother were just about to depart from the city. They met each other after a while. The two teams slowly merged into one.

After being forced to take out the Bone Skeleton, he cried nonstop as he returned to his room. When she was tired of crying, she fell asleep. However, he could not sleep well all night.

After a nightmare filled with nightmares, her complexion seemed to darken the next day. He looked like ashes were sprinkled all over his body. He looks really bad.

“Mother, Xie Qiao outrageous. Now that he's been bullying me, in the future when we get to Xie's house, how am I supposed to survive? Why don't I go back to Pei's house?!” The moment he heard that Xie Qiao had caught up, Pei Wanyue lost his composure.

His mind was filled with skeletons yesterday.

And also last night's nightmare!

“Omong empty what are you saying? Pei's family is cruel. How can I let you go back there?!” Madam Lu pressed her fingers against her temple. “Look at yourself. You haven't even reached the Xie household and you've given up?”

“Mother, I'm so scared. Since last night, my body has been icy cold.” Pei Wanyue wailed.

"Yes. The boy is certainly evil. My God, what he had learned from that Taoist Temple!” Madam Lu sighed. “You are also wrong. You were too rash yesterday! I know you think she's beautiful, and that would be a comparison between the two of you. But. He won't live long! ”

Pei Wanyue was silent for a moment.

Life to 20 is not a long life, nor is it 40 years.

There was no way Xie Qiao would leave in these few years, right?

“Wanyue. Just think. No matter how good he was, no one would remember him if his body did not last long. Instead, the more prominent he was, the better the reputation of the Xie Family. That in turn will come back to you. So if he's great, won't that pave the way for you too?” Madam Lu added.

No one paid much attention to this daughter in the Pei household, so she was sheltered and had a shallow look.

Pei Wanyue pursed her lips.

However, everyone wants to be the best and not the second choice.

“Mother, I'm not feeling well. I'm cold and a little dizzy.” Pei Wanyue's skin was getting drained in a matter of seconds.

Madam Lu was shocked when she heard that.

Then he carefully fumbled his daughter's forehead.

“You burned?” Madam Lu frowned. “Maybe because of yesterday's shock. Luckily, we had a doctor with us. I'll ask the doctor to see you.”

Madam Lu immediately let the doctor examine her.

It was just a cold and a common fever. Not much trouble happened.

However, Pei Wanyue's symptoms were quite frightening. One day he felt unwell, then he fainted the next day.

The doctor is an expert in his own field. Pei Wanyue's fever was not very high. He only felt uneasy from the dizziness and cold, so he remained inside the carriage and lay down to rest.

Madam Lu's face darkened.

“We will stop after reaching the imperial city. We will continue only when you recover.” Madam Lu's expression looked motherly.

Pei Wanyue was delirious at that moment, but he still shook his head. “Mother, that's not good. We have to go on and move on. I want to reach the imperial city faster.”

His voice is weak and weak. At that moment, he looked weaker than Xie Qiao.

“Press continue? Will your body accept it? You should not let it get too bad so that it leaves side effects.” Madam Lu became panicked.

“It's okay, Mom. I want to go to your house faster.” Pei Wanyue insisted.

He had thought about it carefully.

He couldn't appear in Xie's house like a stray refugee.

Now that he had fallen ill, the entire Xie Family would know that it was caused by the shock Xie Qiao had experienced. He could get their pity that way.

Madam Lu did not know what was on her daughter's mind. He only thought his daughter had not had any support for many years. That's why he insisted on this.

His heart ached as this sad thought flashed through his mind.

Of course, Madam Lu blamed Xie Qiao in her heart. However, it is not appropriate to voice it.
