The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 215
Chapter 215: Unlikeable
What Xie Pinggang said made Ms. Lu bury her head. She really wanted to cry now.
This stepson of hers was hardly this direct with her.
Now he had really humiliated her!
Xie Qiao glanced faintly at Ms. Lu.
“Xi’er, let’s go. I’ll bring you to pick the accessories,” said Xie Pinggang.
The people around dared not breathe loudly upon hearing that.
Naturally, Ms. Jia and Ms. Xin were unwilling, but they really dared not stop him. Them aside, even Xie Mangshan and Xie Congshan were so scared that they dared not make a sound.
“A-Are you going into the sisters’ rooms!?” barked the old lady.
“I paid for this house. Why can’t I go anywhere I want?” Xie Pinggang looked majestic.
A distinction should be made between males and females?
He would beat up any criminal who committed a crime, be it men or women. Why would he treat them differently based on their gender?
The old lady collapsed due to the anger. She held onto her head in a wobbly manner and said to Xie Niushan, “A-Are you trying to kill me? You guys hardly visit, and now you’re making a fuss just for some clothes and accessories!? I-I…”
She was losing her breath too as she spoke.
Xie Niushan frowned, hesitating now. He had to take care of his mother after all.
“They’re just some clothes and accessories. Is it necessary to be so mad, Grandmother? The money that Father gave could buy how many gold, silver, and jade wares? Now Xi’er is just taking what she should. Why are you so mad? Can it be that Grandmother thinks that Xie Chun and Xie Zhu shouldn’t be at a disadvantage? And it’s okay if Xi’er is? If that’s the case… Are us siblings worthless to you, Grandmother?” Xie Qiao was speaking clearly at a calm pace.
When those words came out of her mouth, they did not sound aggressive.
Xie Niushan thought carefully after hearing that. What his daughter said seemed to make more sense.
“The two girls took Xie’er’s stuff first. What’s the fuss about her taking them back?” Xie Niushan said casually.
His daughter should definitely be at a disadvantage.
Moreover, he paid for everything at home. Xi’er was just taking what belonged to her. His mother did not suffer any losses. What was there to be mad about?
The old lady was pissed. She felt a lump in her chest.
Xie Pinggang got a servant over to lead the way.
Xie Xi was rather slow to react, but she went with Xie Pinggang. She also remembered Xie Qiao saying that she should pick the accessories that she liked.
It was a private matter when Xie Xi was being robbed before, and the mothers would only interfere whether something happened between the children.
Ms. Lu had forced Xie Xi to tolerate that over and over again. As time went by, she could only keep quiet when it happened again.
She did not like talking nor making a fuss. At the same time, she did not know the benefits of complaining.
Indeed, Xie Niushan and Xie Pinggang were not attentive enough in that aspect. They had even allowed such behaviors when it came to the two youngest ones, so they would not ask anything about it.
Now that Xie Qiao was here, she would scare Xie Niushan just by failing to catch her breath.
Children who cried would be given candy.
Xie Pinggang brought Xie Xi there himself. Naturally, wherever they passed would turn chaotic, like a robbery scene.
Xie Xi looked at the stuff in the makeup box and took everything that was pretty. Noticing that her hands were full, Xie Pinggang got a pouch for her to carry them.
The pouch was full an hour later.
Most of the stuff belonged to Xie Xi in the first place, and the rest belonged to Xie Chun and Xie Zhu.
“T-That bead hairpin is mine! It’s mine! Mother bought it for me!” Xie Zhu felt really wronged now.
Xie Qiao took a sip of tea and caught her breath. She seemed to feel much better now.
She said slowly, copying Ms. Lu, “You’re the Eldest Sister, so what if you have to share your things with Younger Sister? Also, you’ve used Xi’er’s things for so long. I can see that some are worn out now. They’re no longer as valuable as before. You should make it up to your Younger Sister. Zhu’er, you’ll be unlikeable if you’re so mischievous and petty.”
