The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 432

Chapter 432: Regret

Ms. Qiu looked at Xie Qiao curiously.

When she was in the academy earlier, she felt pain all over her body and felt listless. She did not even look at her carefully. Now that she looked at her a few more times, she realized that this girl was really as the rumors said. She was really pretty.

Her features were not lacking in gentleness, but they were also somewhat intelligent. Sitting here, she was dignified and generous, but also somewhat charming and adorable.

This was Bandit Xie’s daughter?

Ms. Qiu was quite curious.

However, as she thought about it, she sighed again. Unfortunately, she was already dead. Otherwise, she would be as warm as this girl.

“Do you want to chat with me, or do you want to talk about something practical?” Xie Qiao asked slowly.

Ms. Qiu was inexplicably scared.

She did not know why.

She was brave when she was alive, but looking at Xie Qiao now, she felt that she was a person who should not be provoked. Also… She could not help but want to stay away from her. Her body was like…

It was like she had something on her that she should not touch.

“C-Can you really help me?” Ms. Qiu was still confused.

Xie Qiao nodded, “But your wish should be reasonable. For instance, you can’t ask me to raise your son for you, and you can’t get me to give your son a good future. In short, it’s best if it can be completed in the near future. Don’t take too long. After all… my health is lacking. If it takes too long, I might die, and your wish will remain unanswered.”

“You’re completely different from what I thought,” Ms. Qiu was a little stunned when she heard that.

She thought that this lady from the Xie family was either as rude as a bandit or as gentle and weak as the rumors said.

However, her voice and expression was cold. She spoke slowly and calmly.

Although she spoke slowly, her attitude was not gentle at all.

Xie Qiao took out a small porcelain bottle, “If you don’t have any wishes, I’ll take you directly.”

Ms. Qiu’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly waved, “I hanged myself. Before I died… I already thought of many things, and I also left a letter for my parents and son.”

“But you’re still unwilling,” Xie Qiao said.

“Yes, I’ve cared about my reputation since I was young. When I taught my son, I also hoped that he would be an upright person, but I never thought that I would die a sinner one day,” Ms. Qiu said.

“I can’t help you with this matter. Your crime is stipulated by the Emperor and the law. Even if I restore your innocence using my connections, in the eyes of the world, you are still a member of the Zhou family, and you’d still be guilty,” Xie Qiao was very straightforward.

She would not agree to a wish that could not be fulfilled.

“I understand. The innocence that I wanted has already been destroyed by those evil people of the Zhou family. Marrying into the Zhou family… was my own choice. I admit it,” Ms. Qiu nodded, the corners of her lips revealed some disappointment.

Xie Qiao looked out of the carriage window. She was not in a hurry, she just waited.

The streets were very lively. There were people talking everywhere, and there were also… floating souls everywhere.

Many souls did not even know that they were already dead. They lived like living people.

“You can always stay by your son’s side, but people have their own rules, and souls would have their own rules. Look at those souls that refused to leave. Their descendants won’t have a good life,” Xie Qiao’s voice was harmonious, “Even if you want to stay in the human world, it’s best for you to go far away. Oh right, you also have to manage your emotions well. Don’t become a vengeful spirit. It’d be fine if a vengeful spirit did not commit a sin, but if it did, there would be retribution.”

Xie Qiao said it casually, treating it as a casual chat.

However, after hearing those words, Ms. Qiu’s expression changed.

She did not want to leave indeed, she wanted to see her son.

After she died, she regretted it.
