The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 216 - There Are Many Things That You Don’t Know

Xie Qiao spoke in all seriousness, like a merciful senior.

Ms. Luʼs eyes widened when she heard that. She was pissed as she looked at Xie Qiao in disbelief.

Xie Zhu was stunned. She stood where she was, panicked.

She… was mischievous and petty? Those were her stuff!

She was eager to shriek and tear Xie Qiaoʼs face and lips apart. Unfortunately, Xie Qiao had three men standing around her. She dared not offend Xie Pinggang. Even Xie Pinghuai, whom she usually played with harmoniously, was looking at her with disgust now.

”Zhuʼer, youʼre the Elder Sister. You should be generous, right?” Xie Qiao asked again, waiting for her to reply.

At that moment, Xie Xiʼs eyes sparkled.

Xie Zhu was crying inside. Under everyoneʼs gazes, she could only say, feeling wronged, ”Mm…”

”Zhuʼer is such an amazing Elder Sister. You should protect your Younger Sister from now on. Look at you, so sensible and sweet. Third Aunt dotes on you. How would you lack accessories? Our Xiʼer is different. Her mother is gone, and she has very few accessories. Sheʼll be happy if you give her some. Weʼre family. Weʼll remember it that you treat our Xiʼer so well,” added Xie Qiao.

She was fluent and confident in her persuasion.

Meanwhile, Ms. Lu and Ms. Xin were livid.

Ms. Xin doted on her daughter, but Xie Niushan was the one providing money.

Xiʼer had no mother, but she had Ms. Lu as her stepmother. From what Xie Qiao had said, it sounded like she was a terrible stepmother.

She could not smile now.

The old lady scoffed. ”Our family had always been harmonious every time you guys visited. Why is it like that this time?!”

Xie Qiao looked like she heard nothing and patted Xie Xiʼs head. ”But our Xiʼer had never been this happy during the last visits, right?”

”Mm,” Xie Xi nodded in all seriousness.

A smile spread on her face as she hugged the pouch with both hands. She looked extremely happy with her newly acquired fortune.

After responding to Xie Qiao, she rummaged through the pouch with her tiny hand, crisp sounds echoing. She could not stop looking. It was as if she could never get enough of her loot.

”Do you feel better now, Eldest Sister?” asked Xie Pinghuai.

Xie Qiao nodded and smiled gently. ”All thanks to Younger Brother. I wouldʼve definitely fallen if you hadnʼt held me in time. Iʼll make you snacks when we get home.”

Xie Pinghuai scratched his head shyly, ”Nah… Itʼs nothing!”

His eldest sister was as beautiful as an angel!

She was pretty, especially when she smiled, just like a sun that warmed someoneʼs heart, making one unable to take their eyes off her.

”You make snacks too, Eldest Sister?” Xie Pinghuai smiled like a fool.

”A little bit.” Xie Qiao smiled lightly.

She looked humble, but many thoughts were crossing her mind. There was so much that Xie Pinghuai needed to learn. He had too little tricks up his sleeve.

Xie Pinghuai might not be considerate to all of his siblings. The reason he was so sensible was totally that she looked… weak, helpless, and pitiful at the moment. It triggered his protective side.

He was easily manipulated and would definitely lose everything to women in the future.

Xie Qiao inwardly mumbled.

Xie Pinghuai was foolish as he seemed to be anticipating the snacks that she would make.

Ms. Lu knew that she had lost, so she immediately tried to clean up the mess. ”Itʼs been so long since Qiaoʼer came to the Imperial City, but I didnʼt know that youʼre capable of making snacks…”

Xie Qiao chuckled. ”There are many things that you donʼt know, Mother.”

”We havenʼt gotten the snacks to pray to the ancestors ready. Since Qiaoʼer is so capable, why not get her to make the snacks?”
