The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 248: Heartbroken and Horrified

The arrow pierced Yuan Rong’s abdomen, but the wound was not fatal. At most, he would have to take some time to heal.

However, such a person should not stay here.

Today, he dared to instigate Ms. Lu to break into Xie Qiao courtyard and lay their hands on her. In the future, they would dare to kill her openly.

Her parents were bandits. She knew very well what kind of people bandits were, and there was no need for her to clear their names.

Her father obtained his current status from sheer luck. He had killed the barbarians to protect his family and defend the country. Otherwise, someone like him would have long been dragged to the market to be killed.

Some of his men were innocent and clean, and some were brave and courageous. However, for people like Yuan Rong…

First, he had never killed the barbarians. Second, he had done evil. The only reason why he could still live peacefully by Xie Niushan’s side was because his father was dumb.

Xie Qiao scoffed.

‘Yuan Rong, there are many things that I can do to you since I can’t kill you.’.

Xie Qiao lay on the bed, eating and drinking.

When Ms. Lu passed out, they called for a doctor and got Pei Wanyue over to see her. It was as if Ms. Lu was the one who was about to die.

On the other hand, Xie Qiao’s side was extremely quiet.

At noon, Chun Er stewed ginseng chicken soup for her.

Xie Qiao ate it all.

She liked nutritious food like that. After eating it, she felt energized. She also thought about getting Chun Er to prepare some delicious food for the evening.

The few ghouls that ate and drank recklessly earlier had really hurt her stomach. Now, she had to make it up to herself.

In the afternoon, Xie Niushan and Xie Pinggang returned.

In the main courtyard, Xie Pinghuai and Pei Wanyue had been guarding Ms. Lu for the entire day. They could only see that her head was tied with a piece of cloth and her face pale as she lay on the bed. She looked extremely pitiful.

“What’s going on? Wasn’t she fine when I left this morning? Why is she so sick now?” Xie Niushan took off his outer garment and immediately went forward to ask with concern.

“Master…” Ms. Lu’s daughter hurriedly called out, she had tears falling on her face.

Xie Niushan secretly jolted from her call.

Xie Pinghuai scratched his head, feeling rather annoyed.

He had heard about what had happened today. To be honest, he felt that… his eldest sister had done the right thing. After all, his father had said earlier that no one was allowed to go to eldest sister’s courtyard without his and eldest brother’s permission.

His mother had done this knowingly. However, it had not been easy for his mother to take care of him all these years. Seeing how frightened she was, he could not blame her.

He only felt that he was in a pickle, he thought he was quite pitiful.

“Uncle Xie! Xie Qiao is a lady, yet she wants to shoot my Mother. You must stand up for my Mother. Otherwise, even if I have to bring this matter to the administrative office, I will make Xie Qiao pay the price!” Pei Wanyue became determined suddenly.

Xie Niushan frowned, “What did you say? Shoot her?”

‘I don’t believe it.’

His eldest daughter was weak and frail. She was delicate and pitiful. She looked like she could barely breathe. How could she shoot Ms. Lu?

If it was the other way around, it would be more realistic to say that Ms. Lu wanted to kill Xie Qiao.

“Master, Madam wanted to speak to First Young Lady today. She asked for her several times but First Young Lady was not feeling well, so she personally went to visit her. However, when she arrived at the courtyard, she found that First Young Lady was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun. Madam felt wronged and said a few words to her, but First Young Lady accused Madam of meddling in other people’s business. Madam felt that First Young Lady had been raised in a Taoist temple since young and did not understand the rules. She was worried that she would be like this when she married someone in the future, so she scolded her and wanted to teach her a lesson. Who would have thought…

“Who would have thought that the First Young Lady would be so angry that she took out her crossbow and shot Steward Yuan to death! Fortunately, the doctor arrived in time and saved Steward Yuan’s life!” One of Ms. Lu’s servants said immediately.

Ms. Lu felt wronged, “Master, although I didn’t give birth to any children for the Xie family, I have accompanied you all these years with all those rumors and slanders. Now, forget it that Qiao doesn’t listen to me, this is how she treats me. I’m heartbroken and horrified!”
