The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 533: After Suffering Comes Happiness

Xie Niushan could not understand. He was very angry and had been upset the whole morning.

Looking at the steward’s happy face, he was secretly angry. ‘What are you holding in your hand? Do you think that I will definitely lose?’

Although it was a bet with his daughter and he should not be so calculative, this family of scoundrels did not take him seriously, right?!

“Master, what the First Young Lady said is right.” The steward was respectful, but in his heart, he also thought Xie Niushan was a fool.

Fortunately, the first young lady was in charge now. Otherwise, how could he have any family wealth? He would have given all of the wealth away!

“Nonsense, my words are better than that girl’s…”

Before he could finish his sentence, someone from the door came over. “Master, the First Master and the Old Madam are here.”

Xie Niushan’s brows furrowed.

Why did they have to come here at this time?

Xie Niushan felt that something was not right. Was there something going on… that he did not know about?

Now that everyone was here, he could not chase them out. It would look like he was being shameless, so he nodded and said, “Invite them in.”

The steward could not help but sigh.

‘Master, don’t be a burden.’

At that moment, the old lady was leaning on her walking stick, with Xie Mangshan and Xie Congshan by her side.

The three of them were dressed shabbily, and their faces looked terrible. They looked a little haggard, especially the old lady and Xie Mangshan. They had actually lost a lot of weight.

This time, they were very polite when they entered. Even when they were facing the servant at the door, they were smiling and extremely humble!

It was true that these days have not been easy!

Ever since they paid the fine, the house had been completely empty.

Xie Congshan borrowed 50 taels of silver from someone out there. The family used the remaining ten taels of silver.

However, there were many people in the family.

It was true that there were elders and children. Once again, they had gone from extravagance to frugality. They did not even dare to eat meat every day. As a result, the children of the family were upset. They were always fighting and making a mess!

The ten taels of silver were spent extremely quickly. Two days ago, it was gone. They were thinking of marrying off the first son’s daughter Chun’er and exchanging it for some money to make ends meet.

However, who knew that the family that initially valued Xie Chun’er would only be willing to pay ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift when they saw that they were in trouble!

What was ten taels of silver enough for?

Back then, the old lady did not approve of the marriage when they said that they would give a hundred taels of silver!

It was also because the child of that family had indeed taken a liking to Xie Chun’er. Otherwise, they would not be willing to marry her into their family even if they were only giving ten taels of silver.

Xie Mangshan and the others had also been bargaining for the past two days.

As they discussed, Xie Niushan returned.

Hope was here!

At that moment, the eyes of the three of them were emitting a burning desire. They looked like hungry wolves.

As they walked all the way to the hall, they saw the person they had missed for a long time.

The old lady was in tears. “My son! You’re finally back?!”

Xie Niushan was shocked.

Firstly, his mother’s voice sounded like she was crying. It was really scary. Secondly… After living for so many decades, this was the first time he had heard his mother missing him so much!

Although it was quite strange, Xie Niushan was already old. Other than being shocked, he did not feel anything else.

However, he was quite curious. What… was going on?

“What’s the matter with you behaving like this?” Xie Niushan was very direct.

“Son, you have to help me. I’ve suffered so much in my life. Since I came to the capital with you, after suffering comes happiness. But now, I’ve lost all my assets. I’m so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back!”
