The Crown Princess Has a Deadly Destiny
Chapter 21

Ever since Xie Qiao dug up this ghost bone, this ghost would naturally not continue to roam the forest, but follow him all the way here.

Back then, he was afraid someone would stain “his body”. He looked around with his eyes, and his gloomy face looked terrifying. It was a pity that Pei Wanyue could not see this side of him.

Otherwise, he would definitely feel his hostile gaze.

After Madam Lu was reminded by Pei Wanyue, she also saw the package. The package was quite large, and seemed to contain hard objects.

Since there were so many people watching, he was hesitant to let people open the package, so he softly said, “See what weird stuff he got. This girl grew up in the countryside, has a strange temperament and uses strange things.”

This was the first time he had seen people offering worms as a reward. When he saw the sack of dried insects, he knew it must be food for the big rooster.

Pei Wanyue sighed. When he walked into the house with Madam Lu, he felt a little uncomfortable and asked, “Bu, Uncle Xie must have sent his gifts a lot, right?”

Sending gifts? Lady Lu was stunned, “No, her father never cared about her. When I first married her, I asked her if she wanted to give Xie Qiao a gift. He said it wasn't necessary. But maybe he was destined not to live long, so your Uncle Xie started to worry and care for him. It would be very painful for him to see someone's child die earlier than himself.”

Speaking of this, Madam Lu sighed, “I wonder why I am angry at her today. Her weak body will not be a threat to you or me.”

‘Not only did he not receive a good education, but he did not have a healthy body.’

‘What can a princess like her do after returning to the imperial city?’

“I just hope he behaves well and wisely now. This is to make sure she doesn't tarnish our reputation as the Xie family's daughter. In the future, you can also get married into a good family by relying on the surname Xie.” added Mrs Lu.

Pei Wanyue thought so too.

“Bu, do you know the young man who just came? She looks like a noble with her beautiful features.” Pei Wanyue said again.

“He should be a businessman? There are many merchants in Floating Pavilion City.” Madam Lu thought for a moment, and then quickly reminded her, “Daughter, no matter how handsome this man is, it is useless! A businessman may be rich, but he has no power. In the eyes of the powerful, the rich are like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered! Your Uncle Xie was also rich when he was young. But his family ran out of money just to help him become an official! This is for the sake of future generations who have decent backgrounds and belong to the upper class! The reason why I brought you to the imperial city is not to betroth you to the mere merchant's house.”

His daughter excels at many things. Even if she was not married to a noble, she should marry a minor official, right?

“Bu!” Pei Wanyue said awkwardly.

Although he was amazed by the handsome young master he had just seen, he thought of the discrimination he had experienced over the years, and that sense of astonishment disappeared in the air.

Pei Wanyue was more interested in the package than that handsome young master.

After a while, the package was sent to Xie Qiao's house.

Xie Qiao sent his grandmother and granddaughter out. Ghoul stood in front of Xie Qiao in a good manner, looking extremely nervous.

“What kind of auspicious land do you want for burial? The afterlife is somewhat related to the life you lived before. You were a slave and a servant when you were alive, so the burial ground after your death should not be too good. Excessive luck will be harmful to your children and grandchildren.” Xie Qiao opened the geomantic map of the surroundings and took a closer look.

“I just want to know if my son can be a good ordinary citizen ..”
