The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Cry as Hard as You Can

At that moment, Xie Pinghuai became a little cuter in Xie Qiao’s eyes.

To have sympathy was to have a conscience.

When she saw Xie Pinghuai looking at those disaster victims with disdain, she was quite worried.

“The rice was only two or three catties. If we talk about expensive things… Only that person was lucky enough to get two cotton-padded jackets. It was almost… A hundred cash,” Xie Qiao said faintly.

Xie Pinghuai suddenly felt a bland taste in his mouth.

A small piece of his favorite snack cost a hundred cash.

The grasshoppers that he usually played with might cost at least tens of cash each, but he did not like them. The grasshoppers that he bought were almost all worth dozens of cash. In fact… he even bought a grasshopper worth a hundred cash in the past, but it was crushed to death by his eldest brother.

Xie Pinghuai felt a little guilty and suddenly buried his head.

His expression was indeed a little listless. He looked like he had lost his spirit, as if he had been stimulated by something.

Only then did Xie Qiao bring him down from the carriage.

The silver exchanged from the silver beans were used to buy medicine for the servants. After that, the group of people sat in the medicine shop to rest. Then, they let an uninjured servant go to the criminal division to find a backer.

The servant hurried over. When he saw Xie Pinggang open his mouth, he said, “Bad news, Eldest Young Master. The Eldest Young Lady and the Second Young Master were beaten up when they went out of the city to do charity work. Now, they’re in the medicine shop…”

At that moment, Xie Pinggang only felt that someone was ringing a big bell in his head.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Xie Pinggang immediately went to the Crown Prince to ask for leave of absence.

Everyone could tell that something big was going on with his grim face.

“Minister Xie, why are you so flustered? Is there a big case?” Zhao Xuanjing already knew what was going on.

This Xie Pinggang looked rude, but he was actually very steady. Even if a ferocious thief stood in front of him, he would remain his expression. However, there was only one person who could make him change immediately.

That person was his sister, Xie Qiao.

He wanted to talk to Xie Qiao earlier, but he did not have the chance.

Now was the perfect time.

“It’s just some family matters… my younger sister has suffered some grievances out there. She seems to be injured and is currently at the medicine shop… I’ll have a look. Her body is weak and she doesn’t have any descendants yet…” the more Xie Pinggang thought about it, the worse he felt.

She had better not die early.

After Xie Pinggang finished speaking, he raised his head.

However, there was no one in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment. As soon as the Crown Prince left, he immediately ordered his men to prepare his horse. In the blink of an eye, he got on his horse and left?!

Where was the Crown Prince going?

Anyway, he had already applied for this leave, so he… was leaving as well?

Xie Pinggang did not hesitate. He immediately ordered his men to bring his horse over.

At the criminal division, Xie Pinggang’s official position was low. However, no one dared to provoke him. Firstly, it was because he had a bad temper, and secondly, it was because he had a backer.

In the past, his backer was the grand preceptor. However, ever since the Crown Prince came, he had to accompany him every time. They were inseparable, so the choice of backer had changed again.

Therefore, even if he skipped work and left, no one dared to interfere.

They just thought that he had gone to do some errands.

Zhao Xuanjing led the guards and headed straight for the medicine shop. Once they arrived at the medicine shop, they saw the carriage with the Xie family’s plate hanging at the door. His heart skipped a beat, and he directly barged in.

However, his footsteps froze on the spot.

Xie Qiao…

Her clothes were neat, her face was fair, and her hair was not messy at all. It was just that her hands… seemed to have a strange greenish-red color.

The other people around her looked a little miserable, especially Xie Pinghuai. His face was swollen, and he looked listless.

Zhao Xuanjing did not walk forward anymore. Instead, he turned around and left again.

“Sister, that was the C-Crown Prince, right…” Xie Pinghuai’s face was even more swollen now, and he could not keep his tongue straight.

“Yes,” Xie Qiao nodded, “The Crown Prince is here, so maybe Eldest Brother will be here soon. Remember what I taught you. Cry as hard as you can, and show your chivalrous character and grievance. Think about the person who was beaten to death. If you perform well, you can avenge him. Then you wouldn’t have been beaten for nothing, understand?”
