The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 469
Chapter 469: Compensation
The ghoul stared at him with a gloomy face.
A cold wind blew in the surroundings, and there were layers of grievous energy, almost swallowing Zhao Xuzhi alive.
Xie Qiao did not care about Zhao Xuzhi, but the ghoul was pitiful. If he was not careful and became a vengeful spirit, then he would be even worse off.
One had to know that when a vengeful spirit had their grievous energy removed, they would also feel some pain.
It was better to try to avoid this ghoul from thinking too much.
“Eldest Young Master, if you want to do good deeds in the future, will you investigate thoroughly before taking action?” Xie Qiao asked aggressively.
Zhao Xuzhi clenched his fists slightly, “Yes, I’ve said it. This matter is my fault. Master Mo, do you think that I should apologize to that person?”
He was the son of a Prince, yet he had to apologize to a commoner father and son, or even pay with his life?
Was Mo Chusheng a fool?!
She actually came to him for this kind of matter.
Zhao Xuzhi’s looked at her grimly.
He knew that Mo Chusheng was the Crown Prince’s senior sister. The Crown Prince was such a despicable person. He must have deliberately asked Mo Chusheng here and embarrass him, right?!
“Pay with your life? In this poor master’s opinion, I should’ve asked you to pay with your life. Unfortunately, you can’t do it,” Xie Qiao laughed, “I’m just asking if you will make the same mistake again in the future.”
Zhao Xuzhi’s gaze was cold.
It was as if he was looking at a dead person.
Xie Qiao was not afraid of him and continued to sit upright like a bell.
“I won’t,” Zhao Xuzhi gritted his teeth.
“Okay,” Xie Qiao nodded, “I need you to do something. I will get a memorial tablet and perform a ceremony. If you are sincere, kowtow four times and tell me what you want to say. That will do.”
The Princess also thought this matter was rather difficult.
Logically speaking, since the father and son had both died, kowtowing was something that should be done. However, Zhao Xuzhi… had always been arrogant and was probably unwilling.
“You want me to kowtow to a memorial tablet?” Zhao Xuzhi suddenly laughed coldly, “Master Mo, are you mistaken? That person is just a commoner!”
“You’re also a commoner. You have neither an official position nor a noble title. There’s nothing wrong with asking you to kowtow,” Xie Qiao said again.
The male ghoul nodded.
He just wanted Zhao Xuzhi to show his sincerity. If this noble nodded in agreement, he would not have to kowtow.
Zhao Xuzhi laughed, “Master Mo, you’re funny. I will never agree to kowtow. I can kowtow to the heavens, the Emperor and my parents, but not to others.”
Moreover, that person was just a useless and unruly person.
“Also, Master Mo, I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t kill that person. Speaking of which, I only locked him up for a month so that he wouldn’t be so impulsive and irritable in the future. Furthermore, what if he hurt someone when he was impulsive? Or perhaps, if I hadn’t locked him up that day, he would’ve killed that woman in his fury.”
After Zhao Xuzhi finished speaking, he thought he was reasonable, “I understand that Master Mo is kind. However, he’s already dead. What’s the point of pursuing this? If Master Mo really wants to be calculative, how about this? I’ll give a hundred taels of silver to his relatives and friends as compensation. Is that alright?”
Zhao Xuzhi felt he had shown Mo Chusheng a lot of face.
A hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money to an ordinary family.
If that would not do, it could only be said that the ghoul was too greedy!
Zhao Xuzhi’s face was filled with disdain.
The Princess was upset, “Xuzhi, how could you say that to the Master? Apologize to her, now!”
At that moment, Zhao Xuzhi seemed to have thrown caution to the wind, he had been standing straight the entire time, “That person’s luck is bad. Who can he blame? As a man, he couldn’t even discipline his wife properly, and even committed suicide cowardly after the incident. In my opinion, it was a waste of effort for the master to defend this person. Could it be that this person will get a master to repay you in his next life?”
