The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 146
Chapter 146: Adding Insult to Injury
The stable overseer had come in secret to check on Xie Qiao twice.
He did not like it at first. However, after the two rounds of observation, he noticed that the horses were much happier now.
Every time Xie Qiao came, the horses would clearly eat more than they used to. They would look more active and excited as well.
They would not resist at all when Xie Qiao rode on them. Not only that, but the horse that Xie Qiao was riding would become the focus, while the other horses would surround it automatically. It was like… having admirers around it!
Even he was envious when he saw that.
What more could he ask for? As long as the horses were happy!
…
Xie Pinghuai left after meeting Xie Qiao and led people to the Yuan Residence.
He was a Sun Class student from Begonia Courtyard. He did not have many friends at the Begonia Courtyard, but he had a few Young Master-level friends who had the same interests out there.
Most of them were the children of military commanders. The position was not high, and one of them came from the mountain. He was Xie Pinghuai’s sidekick.
The few of them headed to the Yuan Residence excitedly.
In order to make themselves look more aggressive, they even brought along their stewards from home.
When they arrived at the residence’s entrance, Xie Pinghuai got the steward to bring a chair over for him to stand on.
“Get out, Yuan Bin! I’m here to collect the debt!”
He would definitely fly if he had a pair of wings.
The Yuan family’s stewards came out immediately and gathered. They seemed like they were ready to fight.
However, many people were currently watching the show out there.
The Yuan family was famous today, so everyone was interested in their family matters. Naturally, the restaurants around the Yuan Residence were more crowded than usual.
“Oh, my! So Jerk Yuan is backing out, is it!?” Xie Pinghuai cursed like a bandit. “I’m sure everyone has no idea what has happened! Storytime! Yuan Bin was humiliating me earlier, and my sister scolded him. She made a bet with him that he’d lose his reputation and that his bad reputation would spread faraway within three days. If that really happened, Yuan Bin would have to kowtow ten times to me, Xie Pinghuai, and my sister, Xie Qiao!
“His reputation is rotten now, am I right? I’m here to fulfill the promise, to prevent people from accusing me of backing out on my words!”
When it came to stirring trouble, Xie Pinghuai was especially talented.
He recounted the entire matter in a clear and simple manner.
Soon, the onlookers whispered to each other.
“So this is what happened! We thought another young lady was being bullied, and they’re asking for an explanation!”
Nonetheless, this was pretty interesting as well. Kowtowing ten times? Would Yuan Bin be willing to do that!?
At that moment, Yuan Bin, who was inside, heard the commotion out there.
Clang!
He was pissed and broke quite a few things.
“How dare that bandit Xie Pinghuai add insult to my injury!? As expected, the Xie family is terrible!” Yuan Bin was furious.
When it rained, it poured.
More guests came to the Yuan Residence soon after Xie Pinghuai’s arrival.
It was their relatives by marriage!
The family members of Master Yuan’s wife had come. All of them looked cold as if there was a layer of frost covering their faces.
Master Yuan got out immediately and bowed to his father-in-law and brother-in-law right away. The father-in-law and brother-in-law were straightforward, and they said in the presence of the public, “Yuan Muting! I only married my daughter off to you since you looked like a gentleman back then. She’s been married to you for 20 years. What did she do wrong!?”
Master Yuan’s eyelids twitched. “Let’s… talk inside the house…”
“No need! I came today to bring my daughter back to the Shi family. Since my daughter can’t pass down the legacy for you, I’ll leave the wife’s position vacant for you. No matter if the child is from your family or a b*stard, it longer has anything to do with my daughter!”
