The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 422: Sharing Honor and Disgrace

If Xie Pinghuai wanted to beat someone up, he would not care whether the other party was a child or not.

It just so happened that Teacher Xiao’s eldest disciple, Chu Jian, saw it and dragged Xie Pinghuai away. Otherwise… This child surnamed Zhou might have to be bed-ridden for a while.

“Did he cause trouble for Xie Xi?” Xie Qiao asked.

Qin Liu shook her head, “Not really.”

“At least he has some sense. He knew not to bully girls,” Xie Qiao muttered.

Although Xie Xi was 13, she looked like she was 11 or 12. She was timid, and Xie Qiao did not want her to suffer.

Xie Qiao looked outside.

The ghoul’s face was very pale, and his eyes were empty and somewhat sorrowful. He had been staying beside that Young Master Zhou and looked extremely weak.

Xie Qiao was silent for a moment. When she saw that the young master of the Zhou family was still staring at her, she walked over directly.

“You’re looking at me,” Xie Qiao’s tone was cold and straightforward, “You hate my Eldest Brother for harming the Zhou family, right?”

The eyes of that Young Master Zhou seemed to have fire in them, but they were also like the eyes of a little wolf cub, glaring at her.

“What can you change by staring at me like that? You can stare at me for days, and I won’t feel any pain or itch, and I won’t have any losses. As for you, what you will lose is your future,” Xie Qiao said again, after thinking for a moment, she said softly, “That’s not right. Your future is already ruined.”

Prince Consort Zhou had caused the death of more than a hundred people.

No matter how pitiful the other members of the Zhou family were, they deserved their punishment.

This Zhou family’s kid was young and ignorant. At first, he was filled with hatred. The others might sympathize with him.

However, if he continued to be so resentful and unwilling over a long period of time, it would only make others think that he did not know right from wrong.

As for his future…

It was indeed long gone.

This person was saved by the Qiu family, but a criminal was still a criminal. Even if the world granted amnesty, it would not change the fact that his family was guilty.

The Zhou family members could not sit for the imperial examination for three generations.

Xie Qiao’s words undoubtedly pierced into this child’s fragile heart.

His eyes were red, and his initially fair and clean face was now somewhat malevolent and red. Unfortunately, he was too young and did not look scary at all.

“What’s your name?” Xie Qiao asked.

The child ignored her.

“You hate us so much, but you don’t even dare to tell your name. In the future, you will be a nobody. You can only hate us secretly, but my Eldest Brother and I will not even remember who you are,” Xie Qiao said cruelly.

“Zhou Kaiyun!” The child said through gritted teeth.

“Good. Zhou Kaiyun, what did you come to me for? To explain your Mother’s injustice?” Xie Qiao asked.

“My Mother was innocent to begin with! W-We didn’t know that he killed someone!” Zhou Kaiyun said angrily.

Xie Qiao looked at him calmly.

“When your Mother married into the Zhou family, did she know that the Zhou family was prosperous? Did she know that the Zhou family was blessed with honor? Did she think that the Zhou family would last for generations?” Xie Qiao said word by word, her tone was serious. “Your Mother must have known that, even your grandfather’s family thought the Zhou family was pretty great. That’s why they married her into the family.

“A woman getting married is like her second reincarnation. Your Mother… was reincarnated into the wrong family.

“Between husband and wife, and within the family, we share life and death together, sharing honor and disgrace. Who doesn’t know that your Mother has been wronged? Even my Father and Brother knew that. However, you are part of the Zhou family. Can you change that? How can the fact that Prince Consort Zhou committed a crime be erased? If that’s how the law works, no one can do anything about it. If you blame the heavens and the people here, it will only add a few more stains to your Mother’s name. She was such a noble person. Would she want you to do this?”

As Xie Qiao spoke, he glanced to the side.
