The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 271: Adding Insult to Injury

Xie Pinggang was stunned by Xie Qiao’s words. Looking at the portrait in his hand, he was a little flustered.

“He has a fate of traveling to a foreign land? Are you sure?” Xie Pinggang stared at the portrait carefully.

He could not tell what it was.

It was just an ordinary man. Although he was not very good-looking, he was not ugly either.

After all, she was his younger sister. Even if she were to marry anyone, she would still have to choose carefully.

He had carefully questioned the matchmakers in these portraits. Even criminals would not dare to lie when they saw his ability to interrogate them, let alone a matchmaker?

From the matchmakers, he also knew the background of these men.

The person in his hand was not particularly outstanding, but he had a good personality and a good family background. He was a student for two years, but he had not married yet. He did not even have any women by his side. He was just an eighth-rank official. His future…

Xie Pinggang was stunned.

According to the period of time he worked, this person was honest, sensible, and conscientious. It was time for him to be promoted.

He heard that this person did not have anyone to rely on, so he probably did not have the ability to live in the capital.

He might even be sent to another city to become a local official…

Xie Pinggang was a little dejected.

It was a good candidate that he had. No matter how good it was, it would not be his sister who picked the other party. Instead, they would pick each other and take their time. Who knew how long it would take for them to figure out this marriage?!

“You’re quite capable,” Xie Pinggang snorted, “All of my candidates are in these portraits. Although I want to marry low, you can’t marry too low. You won’t live long, so it’s not good for me to scam someone who is too good. Letting someone become a widower without a wife for no reason is really a headache,”

“There’s no rush. If Father doesn’t anger me more often, maybe I can live forever,” Xie Qiao said leisurely, “Father gave Ms. Lu 5,000 taels of silver, and the account actually paid her?”

“That’s right. 5,000 taels of silver in cash completely emptied the house. Our family really doesn’t have money for the next meal now,” Xie Pinggang sneered.

His family was already “poor” .

Now, that was just adding insult to injury.

“Is that so…” Xie Qiao murmured and then smiled, “It’s not that bad. Father has been a bandit for so many years, how could he not have some private savings? Now that Ms. Lu has left, Father is bored by himself. How about this? When Father comes back, I will go talk to him.”

Xie Pinggang was speechless. He looked at her with a strange gaze.

‘Talk to him?

‘Are you sure you’re not making yourself die sooner to be talking to him?

‘However, thinking about it, this girl might be a little angry with Father. In any case, she would not really kill our Father. Let them talk then!’

Xie Qiao was a person of his word. When Chun Er reported that Xie Niushan had returned, she packed up and went to the main courtyard to accompany her biological Father for a meal.

Ever since returning to the capital, she had always carried a talisman that suppressed the evil energy on her. She carried it with her most closely and never dared to leave her body.

At this moment, Xie Qiao hesitated for a moment and took out more than half of the talismans. She brought the remaining two or three talismans with her.

Xie Niushan’s thoughts were quite pure. He had long forgotten the previous gloom. Now that he heard that his eldest daughter was going to accompany him for a meal, he was over the moon and had people serve good wine and dishes.

Xie Pinghuai and Xie Xi wanted to join them, but they were stopped by Xie Pinggang.

Xie Pinghuai felt that something was wrong.

Ever since his eldest sister returned home, his eldest brother seemed to have never supported him and his sister getting too close to his eldest sister.

Now, they were not even allowed to eat together at the same table?

However, Xie Pinghuai did not dare to ask.

He could only obediently bring Xie Xi along to eat the snacks in the small kitchen.
