Princess Consort With Deadly Destiny

CHAPTER 29: First Miss

Xie Qiao opened the curtains and looked outside.

The walls surrounding the Xie family home were right before his eyes. There were many people in front of the entrance but he could not see what they looked like.

The Xie family housekeeper was waiting at the door.

With a respectful look, he personally stepped forward and waited for Lu to get off the carriage.

“Where is Mr?” Madam Lu got off the carriage and just looked at her servant. When she did not see her husband and stepson, she frowned slightly.

“The Oldest Master and Young Master are still in the military camp at the moment. I thought you'd only be back in half a month. I didn't expect it to happen this fast. I've sent someone to tell the heads. Second Young Master and Young Miss are in the academy now,” the housekeeper replied quickly.

"Academy?" After Pei Wanyue got down from the carriage, he was confused and spoke in a weak and slightly hoarse voice.

“Oh, opened by the royal family. Uncle Xie, your father, paid a lot of money so that his two children could be accepted into the Academy,” Lady Lu replied

Pei Wanyue clenched her mouth, “I never thought women could also go to school. There is no such thing in Liao Zhou.”

“Yes, Liao Zhou is a small and relatively secluded place. It is not surprising that women are locked up at home with close supervision and are not allowed to study at the academy. There were three famous great academies in the imperial city, all of them accepting women. A similar situation occurred in other nearby cities. This is all thanks to the services of Empress Dowager Jiang.” Lu explained.

Empress Dowager Jiang was very affectionate towards the late Emperor, and she had been his childhood sweetheart ever since they were young.

Empress Dowager Jiang was born into the family of a general. He has a warm and generous personality. Ever since she became Queen, she had encouraged the girls to enroll in the academy.

Although this was met with great resistance, some progress has been made.

Most women who come from large families have to study and study philosophy.

Many people wanted to marry highly educated wives from the academy. After all, if the wife had an education, she could educate her children better in the future.

Pei Wanyue showed an expression of longing.

“Bu, when I was in Liao Zhou, I used to read books.” Pei Wanyue spoke in a very slow voice.

Lu was stunned, and then he understood what his daughter meant. He calmly replied, “When your father returns, I will tell him about this. Royal Academy is not easy for one to receive, but proceeding to the other two academies is still possible.”

'If I want to join an academy, I will definitely join the Royal Academy!'

'Who does not want to get a good education or become the highest scorer in the government entrance exam?'

Pei Wanyue was reluctant to say this directly. He just nodded his head gently.

Soon after, the housekeeper started asking his men to drop off the items. As they prepared to move, Xie Qiao got off the carriage.

The housekeeper was surprised.

“Are you First Miss?” The housekeeper immediately noticed his presence.

'I feel weird. There was only one woman beside Madam Lu, and I was reluctant to ask vocally if the woman was Miss Xie or Miss Pei. If I miss greeting her, Madam Lu would probably be mad at me.'

Madam Lu had completely forgotten about Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao's presence wasn't that important to Miss Lu all along!

When the housekeeper said that, Madam Lu's facial expression changed completely, “Qiao Er, this is the housekeeper, Yuan Rong. He was the old man who followed Master earlier. If you want help, just ask her.”

“It is an honor for Yuan Rong to meet with First Miss.” The housekeeper glanced at Xie Qiao and was slightly surprised. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a light tone, “First Miss's Page is ready. I'll take you there.”

Xie Qiao slightly nodded his head.

Everyone was extremely curious about the Eldest Woman, and they could not help but glance at her again at that moment.

Their hearts were shocked.

They heard that the First Miss who was raised elsewhere would return home. The servants and even the family servants were curious about him.

They all knew that the Oldest Woman and the Eldest Young Master were monoamniotic twin brothers. So they all felt that the physical appearance of Eldest Madam meant nothing.

They had never expected her to grow into such a good woman!
