The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 293: Leave of Absence

The male ghoul felt a little ashamed when he finished speaking.

He had been killed by someone and had become an ethereal soul, but he did not even have the courage to take revenge. He only thought about those worthless… clothes and food.

The immortal-like master in front of him would surely laugh at him, right?

Xie Qiao nodded, “I’ll take this wish of yours.”

There were more than 800 silver beans that had not been paid by the academy, so she only had about 1,000 silver beans left on her account. She could only get 100 taels of silver if she changed them into silver.

A hundred taels of silver was probably not enough to hire thugs.

However, although the academy stipulated that one could not use their family’s fortune, it was no problem to use manpower.

When Xia Yayun came to the outside of the city, it was impossible for her to only bring a personal servant. In order to avoid a riot, she had to bring at least seven or eight servants with her.

Within a reasonable range, she could still make use of her family’s power.

After Xie Qiao returned home, she asked the steward to count the servants in the house.

Almost all of the servants in the Xie family could fight. As her father and eldest brother were martial artists, they were very careful when choosing servants.

In this way, it saved her a lot of trouble.

“All these servants have to be brought out? What for?” The next morning, before leaving the house, Xie Niushan was shocked when he saw so many servants.

His daughter was not going to bring these brothers to fight, right?

“Eldest Sister is gambling with Young Lady Xia. I suppose she’s bringing servants to do good deeds outside the city!” Xie Pinghuai said immediately. After saying that, he even smirked at Xie Niushan, looking as if he was asking for praise.

Xie Qiao looked at Xie Pinghuai’s attitude and thought this silly child was quite pitiful.

Twelve years old should be the time when a kid became sensitive.

After Ms. Lu left, Xie Niushan did not pay attention to him. Recently, Xie Pinggang had been more strict with him. As his eldest sister, she had confiscated his grasshoppers. This kid probably did not have any fun now.

Oh right, when he was in the academy, he even had to curry favor with Teacher Xiao.

He was quite a miserable child.

“Did you bet with Young Lady Xia? Which Young Lady Xia? Did you bet on money?” Xie Niushan asked immediately.

He was still looking at Xie Qiao and did not give Xie Pinghuai any extra glance.

“People outside say that Father is cruel, useless, and a bad person. I felt uncomfortable listening to that, so I made a bet with Young Lady Xia. If I win, I will bring Father a lot of dignity,” Xie Qiao said calmly.

Xie Niushan was very pleased to hear that, “Good girl. If you are bullied, let these servants beat them for you! Our status is low, but we’re protected by the grand preceptor. Unless the grand preceptor is gone, we have great support in the capital!”

Xie Qiao chuckled.

As far as she knew, the grand preceptor was old. Who knew when he would really die of old age.

It was better to count on herself than the grand preceptor.

“Do you two want to go out with me today?” Xie Qiao asked Xie Pinghuai and Xie Xi, “I’ll get someone to take a leave of absence from the academy.”

Xie Xi shook her head.

Xie Pinghuai was very interested and quickly replied, “Yes, Eldest Sister! But if you want to take a leave of absence for me, you have to look for Teacher Xiao. That stinky old man doesn’t accept me as a disciple, but he still order me around all day. And now he has even transferred me to his courtyard to grind his ink…”

At this point, Xie Pinghuai felt dejected. He rubbed his feet against the ground and said, “He’s very strict. He definitely won’t allow me to take a leave. Sigh…”

Old Man Xiao was very evil!

When he was in the academy, he had to work under his nose in the morning and afternoon. He had to do everything from running errands to copying books. Once Teacher Xiao was dissatisfied, he would bring out a thorny ferule!

He would really hit Xie Pinghuai with it!

Now, there was still an unhealed injury on his calf!
