The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 489

Chapter 489: Did You Leave Any Behind?

The old lady stared at her eldest son in shock.

“Y-You gave all the silver to your Second Brother because of that Master’s nonsense?!” The old lady could not believe it. How could her son, who had always been smart, be so muddle-headed?

Xie Mangshan shook his head, “It’s not nonsense! That Master’s fortune-telling is especially accurate, and she’s the Prince’s honored guest! Everyone in that area knows that even the Prince’s steward personally came to give her a thank-you gift! Also, Mother…

“Didn’t I lose my job? Before I lost it, the Master had already predicted it for me, but I didn’t believe it that time! She even predicted that I have a benefactor in my life and said that our family’s money did not come the right way. That’s how I attracted the calamity! What she said isn’t wrong at all! These few days, my luck was indeed bad. I was unlucky everywhere I went. I begged the Master for a long time before she was willing to help me remove the calamity!

“And… Mother, the Master didn’t take a single copper coin from me. If she really wanted my money, would she make me return the money to the benefactor? Wouldn’t she ask me to give it to her directly?” Xie Mangshan added.

Xie Mangshan believed that the master would never deceive him.

What was there to lie about? And now, the master did not receive any benefits from him!

They were fated to meet, that was all.

The old lady listened to her son’s words and was completely stunned.

Was the master really that accurate?

“B-But we can’t give all our silver to your Second Brother! Don’t you know what kind of character that wretched girl from his family is? He’s spoiling her. If she makes noise, will your Second Brother still return the silver to us?!”

The old lady hurriedly said.

These few days, Xie Mangshan had not thought of Xie Qiao at all.

“When Second Brother comes back, I will have a chat with him after the calamity. Now that I have given all my money to them, perhaps he’d think that I’m not greedy for his money and treat me even better!” Xie Mangshan had almost lost his ability to think.

After giving away so much money and belongings, his own mind was muddled.

“No! Go and get it back now!” The old lady was very persistent.

That was not a small sum of money. It was the entire family’s wealth!

“Mother!” Xie Mangshan roared, “Do you want me to die? I can’t go and get it! No one is allowed to go until the calamity has passed!”

Xie Mangshan’s face was full of anger, and the old lady was shocked.

Xie Mangshan knew that his mother doted on him the most. After saying that, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. He kept saying that he did not want to die.

The old lady had given birth to many children in her life, but the one she doted on the most was her eldest son.

In her eyes, her eldest son was the most sensible, capable, and filial. He would support her in the future.

Naturally, she did not want anything to happen to her eldest son.

“The Master you mentioned… Take me to her…” the old lady said again.

“Mother, this Master is usually very busy. She’s rarely at the shop. You have no idea. Occasionally, when she’s around, she only sees three people a day. But every morning, there are more than a hundred people waiting in line! I was there every day for the past few days and witnessed it with my own eyes! And you really don’t have to worry. She’s different from the scammer who set up the stall on the street. Her shop is on Eastern Street, and the shop on Eastern Street is very expensive. Would such a wealthy person deceive me?” Xie Mangshan explained.

The old lady had a natural trust in her eldest son.

When she heard that her eldest son was so confident, she felt a little better.

“Why didn’t you tell me when you were doing this? You even drugged me…” The old lady calmed herself down, “Don’t blame your Third Brother for being angry. It wasn’t easy for us to get what we had. What are we going to eat after you sent everything away…”

At this point, the old lady’s expression changed, “How much money do we have left? Did you leave any behind?”
