The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 398 - Kill Without Blinking

The first wife of this Master Xie was the real master of the bandit mountain stronghold.

It was also because she had taken a liking to Master Xieʼs might that he was chosen as her husband. Later on, his first wife and father-in-law passed away, so he naturally inherited the mountain stronghold. Only then could he bring the bandits to war!

Although this bandit was not a good person, he was a man of his words. How many innocent people were spared from suffering since Master Xie beat the barbarians?

Many people remembered this bit of merit.

As for the family members of these bandits…

.
It was said that they had not contacted each other for many years. After Master Xie became an official, they began to connect with each other.

There was also Young Lady Xie. She had been raised outside since she was young and cultivated in a Taoist temple. Earlier, she had done so many good deeds outside the city. How could such a person be like what this old lady had said and want to kill her?

”Old Madam, if a grandmother like you views her granddaughter in such a way, wouldnʼt everyone else think that your granddaughter has committed a great sin?” Someone could not help but sigh.

”She has always committed a great sin. Look at my legs! Also, she urged her father to be on bad terms with her brother!” The old lady quickly added.

When she said that, everyone laughed.

”You fell yourself, didnʼt you? Some people saw it. Besides, if your son is on bad terms with his brother, isnʼt it your fault as his mother? How could you blame it on your granddaughter? This junior shouldnʼt bear this crime, right?” Someone could not help but mutter.

When the old lady heard that, she was upset.

”You guys donʼt know that her mother, Ms. Peng, was a real bandit. She used to kill without blinking! If it werenʼt for her mother, my son wouldnʼt have been kidnapped to the mountain stronghold back then. He wouldnʼt have been a bandit for so long? We mother and son wouldnʼt have been estranged!” The old lady was afraid that others would not understand, so she immediately turned her head and explained properly to everyone.

”That Ms. Peng was born with a big and burly body. Her personality was violent, and she suppressed my son until he couldnʼt breathe. She committed too many sins, and thatʼs why she died early. Otherwise, even if my son wanted to beat the barbarians, Iʼm afraid he wouldnʼt be able to!

”Iʼm sure you guys canʼt imagine what that Ms. Peng looked like? Letʼs put it this way, my eldest grandson should be very similar to Ms. Peng,” the old lady thought for a moment and added.

Xie Pinggang often come to this pharmacy.

He had to investigate cases and travel around on a daily basis. He also had to frequently buy some medicine.

Back then, when he was an official, he rode his horse through the city gates. Along the way, the commoners crowded around and watched. They all had a deep impression of him.

If a woman looked like Young Master Xie, then it was indeed…

It was quite scary.

”Young Master Xie only solved a case about a year ago. In that big case, more than a hundred innocent women died. He offended the princessʼ husbandʼs family. This kind of bravery is not something that an ordinary person can do. Old Madam, we donʼt know exactly what Ms. Peng that you speak of was like, but if you think about it carefully... if she was that bad, Iʼm afraid she wouldnʼt have given birth to such a brave, resolute, and righteous son.

”Besides... isnʼt the old madam thinking too lightly of a bandit mountain stronghold?”

The person who spoke was a scholar. He was standing in line.

With a serious expression, he said, ”There are so many people in the bandit mountain stronghold. If they are all cunning people who committed crimes, Master Xie shouldnʼt be able to drive them away.

”I think that before Master Xie became the head of the bandits, the mountain stronghold had already set some rules. From the looks of it, the contribution of Ms. Peng should be greater than Master Xieʼs.”

After the scholar finished speaking, he nodded to himself.
