The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 289: Disaster Victims

Xie Qiao had never done any good deeds in the academy. She was different. A few years ago, when there was a major disaster, she had followed her mother to the outskirts of the city to give out porridge. She knew what those disaster victims needed!

Food, quilts, and money!

The money required to save the disaster victims this time needed to be exchanged from the academy with silver beans. In addition, the expenses had to be accounted for. The amount of money needed had to be matched with the silver beans exchanged. How long had Xie Qiao been here?

Xia Yayun had already estimated that Xie Qiao would have 300 to 500 silver beans in her hands. That was already a lot!

Xie Qiao did not bother to waste her breath to talk to Xia Yayun.

She just said that because she thought Xia Yayun was dumb and that she did not know it.

At that moment, both sides were willing. Only then did Old Master Lu take out a contract.

On it was written the witness, and even… the name of the organizer—Meng Jifang!

Meng Jifang had already signed his name in advance!

Xie Qiao and Xia Yayun signed it.

The academy’s donation day would last for a few days. Meanwhile, Xie Qiao and Xia Yayun could come and go freely in the academy during this period of time because they had signed the contract. They could also apply for leave for some of the compulsory courses.

Of course, they had to make up for it later, and they also had to do the homework that the teacher had instructed them to do. They even had to attend the exam when it was time.

In the afternoon, Xie Qiao went to the East Palace to avoid being noticed by others.

The Crown Prince was not in the academy, but he had left his guards here. Xie Qiao handed over the small account book that she had recorded in the East Palace.

There were pictures and explanations on it, so they must be able to understand it. In addition to those things, there was also a picture of a female ghoul in palace dress, which was convenient for the Crown Prince to help find her.

Xie Qiao wanted to stay in the academy for a while longer, but there were many things to do, so she left in the afternoon.

Xia Yayun also left early.

Xie Qiao was not in a hurry to leave the city. Instead, she went to the Fortune Pavilion.

Shopkeeper Chang only recognized Mo Chusheng’s appearance, but he knew that Mo Chusheng had a junior “Young Lady Xie” whom she was very protective of. So when Xie Qiao arrived, the shopkeeper immediately served tea and snacks and took care of her well.

“Master Mo asked me to deliver the talismans,” Xie Qiao took out a stack of things from her satchel.

The shopkeeper happily accepted them, “Thank you for coming, Young Lady Xie. I was panicking. There has been a shortage of goods these few days. Many customers returned disappointed.”

Xie Qiao took a look and actually found out that the newly replenished Academic Excellence Talismans were gone again.

“The Academic Excellence Talismans sold out so quickly?” Xie Qiao asked.

“Yes, but this time, it was all bought by Teacher Xiao. He spent a lot of money,” the shopkeeper added.

Xie Qiao frowned, “He can’t do that. If he comes again, he can only buy three at most.”

The shopkeeper was stunned.

It seemed that Young Lady Xie was not in a position to take care of the matter of the Fortune Pavilion, right? However… This Young Lady Xie would probably inform the boss, so after snapping back to his senses, the shopkeeper immediately nodded, “Alright.”

“Shopkeeper Chang, do you know about the disaster victims outside the city?” Xie Qiao asked again.

“Disaster victims? Those who came recently?” The shopkeeper looked in doubt, “I heard that there was a place that had a rat infestation during the summer. The rats were as big as a person’s arm, and they were very scary. It was said that the food was destroyed, and some people were even bitten to death by rats…”

Xie Qiao frowned.

“However, the scale of the rat infestation this time isn’t particularly big. Only two or three counties were affected by the disaster. The people inside hid away. It’s winter now, and the rats are cold and hungry. Most of them should’ve died. However, it’s hard to move around during winter. Even if the disaster victims want to go home, most of them will have to wait until spring,” Shopkeeper Chang added.
