The Crown Princess Has a Deadly Destiny
Chapter 19

The half-eternal Xie was one of Mo Lingzi's great disciples. The townspeople of Floating Pavilion Town as well as the nearby towns around him respected him a lot.

His master rarely came down from the mountain, and it was hard to get a chance to meet him.

So when people get into trouble, they will look for the half-eternal one. Everyone knows him. They only knew that Half-immortal Xie had an indifferent attitude, did not like to laugh, and was grumpy. So in front of him, everyone was talking about serious things and never speaking unreasonable.

She had heard before that this Young Miss Xie was born from a lay family, and she was raised in a Taoist temple because of her poor health.

Since she was so beautiful, she must have come from a good family. Who would have thought his stepmother was so clever?

The counter attendant looked at Madam Lu, and her eyes were full of disdain.

Madam Lu's face was extremely hot, and she wanted to open her mouth to ask where Xie Qiao had gotten the ginseng from.

Before he opened his mouth, Pei Wanyue quickly grabbed Madam Lu, and said to Xie Qiao, “Sorry, Sister. My mother is not serious. He was just worried that you had not been educated and would accidentally break the rules of the Xie family. That's it, since now this is a serious loan payment, my mother naturally won't say anything!”

The Water Moon Shrine was located in the mountains, so having some good ginseng products was also normal.

Many servants of the Xie family had accompanied them all along. He could not let people think that he and his mother treated Xie Qiao badly.

Ahem. Xie Qiao clutched his chest and coughed weakly. “Are you the sister of Young Miss Xie?! Why are you talking to him like that? I think you look more like an uneducated person!” When the granny couple standing beside Xie Qiao saw Xie Qiao's fragile state, they immediately became furious.

This woman had lived for many years, and she knew that Pei Wanyue's words were not well-meaning.

“Young Miss, I will help you get into the house and rest.” the little girl also said quickly.

Xie Qiao replied and directly went to the second floor of the inn without looking towards Madam Lu. Xie Qiao had met this couple of grandmothers and grandchildren a few years ago. Both of them had to flee to this city and sell themselves as slaves. At that time, his health was worse than it is now. He needed someone to help him carry out the task, so he bought back their freedom.

It was just that the Taoist temple was a very boring place. There was not much they could do, so he let them settle at the foot of the mountain.

Chun Er treats her like a porcelain doll and helps her get into the house.

Xie Qiao only thought that his stepmother and stepbrother were a little annoying. He just wants to find peace and quiet and not really hurt.

But Granny Wan downstairs didn't think so. He knew that Xie Qiao was a junior, and he was Xie Qiao's servant. So he could not direct his anger at this woman, so his eyes instead made a hole into Pei Wanyue.

While packing Xie Qiao's belongings, he grumbled, “Why is there such a cruel person in this world?! Can't you see that my Young Miss is not in good health?! If something bad happens, even if I have to sacrifice my life for it, I will make you pay!”

Pei Wanyue's eyes immediately turned red. “Bu... A-I just try to be nice.” Pei Wanyue trembled in anger.

Xie Qiao's health wasn't good, so he hid himself when he wanted to!

Now, to outsiders it seemed like he was making Xie Qiao so angry that he could not get out of bed!

“Health is not good? I think she is fine now, and she can stay in the wild all night.” Lady Lu immediately responds to the injustice on her daughter.

But when he said this, not only did the counter officer and Granny Wan not take it anymore, the other local townspeople could not tolerate it anymore either.

“We all know that Miss Xie's health is not good. How could you not know as his mother?”

“Nona Xie takes medicine from drugstore every month. All tonic. The doctor said that he might live only for a few more years. How is it all fake ?!”

“A few years ago, Miss Xie went down the mountain and fainted on the road. At that moment, he almost stopped breathing! You two still think he's acting!?”
