The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Whose Brain Will Be Blown up First?

Xie Qiao stood up, and Chun Er quickly stepped forward to support her.

“Ms. Lu, if you and I had stayed out of each other’s way, you would still be the madam of the family. But today, you came to my place to make a scene. Have you thought about the consequences?” Xie Qiao enunciated each word clearly.

Although her voice was slow, her majesty was not one bit less.

Ms. Lu had previously thought that her man did not care for his daughter. However, as time went by, she could not tell that was not the case.

That husband of hers did not care much about Xie Qiao, but every word that Xie Qiao said did not go unnoticed!

There was also Xie Pinggang. These two were blood-related siblings. They were always on the same side, which made her feel even more bitter and had nobody to complain to!

“I’m just teaching my daughter. What consequences can there be?” Ms. Lu felt that she had been too weak previously!

Xie Qiao was a junior. Even if she scolded and punished her, who could say that she was wrong?!

Even if it was spread to the outside world, others would only say that she had put in a lot of effort as a stepmother. She had raised those two children for four to five years. Her reputation as a stepmother had always been great!

Xie Qiao felt her body go weak, so she sat back down.

“It seems that if you don’t vent your anger today, you won’t leave, right?” Xie Qiao said.

“You have to admit your mistake properly. When your father and your eldest brother come back, tell them not to bring the Lin family over! Otherwise… Qiao, I’m still in charge of this family. If you misbehave, I’ll have to teach you a lesson!” Ms. Lu said again.

She was quite determined.

“Sure, do it.” Xie Qiao leaned back, “Your lesson won’t just be words, right? Do you want a punishment or a beating?”

Ms. Lu was a little caught off guard.

Xie Qiao’s reaction was different from what she had expected.

Granny Wan sneered and said, “Young miss just woke up. Before you came, she had been unconscious for a day and a night. Since you’re here, as the madam, it’s fine if you don’t care about her condition. But if you dare to touch a single hair on her body, if word gets out, you’d be seen as having the intention to kill her! She’s studying at the Royal Academy. If she gets sick and can’t go to school for no reason, someone will definitely ask about it!”

Xie Qiao sat calmly.

Let her beat her up.

If Ms. Lu really dared to hit her today, she would have respected her courage. Her reputation would be doomed by then.

Ms. Lu’s face was stiff as she stared at Granny Wan.

“Who knows if what you said is true? She’s usually fine, but now she’s sick?! When I came, she was still basking in the sun!” Ms. Lu huffed angrily.

“Madam, earlier on, they said that the young lady’s health is lacking, but from what I see, the young lady is able to eat and sleep on a daily basis, so there’s no problem at all. Moreover… The young lady is a woman, but she’s often out…”

“She’s often out?” Ms. Lu was stunned.

“Yes, I was worried about the young lady’s safety, so I secretly got someone to keep an eye on her room. Two nights ago, the young lady wasn’t around, and she only returned early in the morning,” the steward added.

When Ms. Lu heard that, she was delighted.

That should be enough reason to punish Xie Qiao!

“Xie Qiao! Why are a young lady like you out in the middle of the night?! Do you want to tarnish the Xie family’s reputation?!” Ms. Lu yelled at Xie Qiao, “Kneel here and reflect!”

Xie Qiao did not move, as if she did not hear her.

“Someone, tie the young lady up and make her kneel!” Ms. Lu said angrily.

Yuan Rong immediately waved his hand, and two servants walked over.

The people that Ms. Lu brought naturally listened to her.

Granny Wan quickly stopped them.

Next to Xie Qiao’s chair was her own treasure chest. It was originally placed here to bask in the sun. Now, she reached out and rummaged inside, then she took out a small crossbow.

“Yes, take two steps forward. Let’s see whose brain will be blown up first?” Xie Qiao was still sitting there, pointing the crossbow in her hand at Ms. Lu as said slowly and leisurely.

How could she travel from the Taoist temple here without possessing some ability to protect himself?
