The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 1147

Chapter 1147: Trick

In reality, there were quite a lot of rumors about the Zhou family.

After all, the Zhou family was a prestigious family. How could they not spread the news of the divorce of the first son’s wife?

Everyone was curious about what the Zhou family had done to make this woman rather go out and fend for herself.

After asking around, they really did find out a lot of things.

For instance, the first madam of the main family had rules set all year round, and the two sons left behind by the previous madam did not respect her very much. Another example was that the son had quite a few concubines, and the tendency of the concubines and wife fighting was very serious…

Of course, there were also those who were capable enough to find out that this old madam wanted to make the first madam’s niece the Crown Prince’s concubine…

It was also said that because of this matter, this cousin actually kicked several of the old madam’s grannies, causing their faces to swell up and caused a ruckus. However, because of her reputation, no one dared to spread it…

Whether it was true or not, they were not sure.

However, they were indeed curious about this young lady.

In the end, when they asked around, they found out that this young lady was actually the master the Xie family hired!

The relationship… was truly confusing!

Xie Pinggang had dragged the Zhou family into this matter, and after talking about it, Yu Xian had also forgotten about chasing him away. Not long after, the two of them drank together again.

However, both of them had a secret in their hearts. When they drank, they were very guarded against each other. They only drank when they lost in rock-paper-scissors. The atmosphere was as if they were going to kill someone on the battlefield. They could not wait for the other party to drink more in case they drank too much later, they would be tricked and spill the beans.

The atmosphere scared the servants so much that they did not dare to come any closer…

…

A few days later, Xie Qiao, who was hiding in the Crown Prince’s residence, had heard many rumors about the Xie family.

Chun Er had to go out to buy things every day, and once she came back, she would explain the situation of the Xie family clearly.

“Now, people outside say that the young master and Second Young Lady are extremely filial and have to serve the old master every day before dawn. They also say that the old master is moved to tears and says that his children are sensible… In the academy, the two of you have also been praised by the teachers for being filial…” Chun Er thought it was a little strange.

If the Second Young Lady was filial, perhaps… it was because she had given enough money.

However, the Second Young Master… had become filial?

The children of the Xie family were all ferocious. Even the lady in front of her was not entirely filial.

“This is my eldest brother’s trick…” Xie Qiao smacked her lips, hesitating whether she should do something.

“What else?” Xie Qiao asked.

If her eldest brother wanted to force her to go back, this little trick would not do it. He had to make her younger brother and sister complain continuously in order to achieve that.

“There’s nothing special. I only know that Second Young Master is going to hold a banquet recently. It’s also considered the first time. I heard that he invited quite a number of people,” Chun Er added.

Xie Qiao understood.

This younger brother and sister of hers did not have the temperament to hold a banquet. It was definitely a request from her eldest brother.

“It’s great. We should train their temperament.” Xie Qiao was not soft-hearted.

It was just hosting a banquet. It was not a life-threatening thing.

Her brother and sister were not ignorant little rabbits.

However, her stubbornness was triggered by her brother’s provocation.

At night, Zhao Xuanjing came home.

Xie Qiao asked directly, “Did my brother not manage his job well?”

“A group of men of sacrifice is indeed difficult to interrogate, and all kinds of methods have been used. It can’t be said that he failed to do a good job.” Zhao Xuanjing dragged his outer robe and scooped Xie Qiao over. “Your husband has just returned home. Why are you asking about others?”
