The Crown Princess Has a Deadly Destiny
Chapter 29
In fact, many people who knew Xie Qiao felt that he had to go with the flow rather than humiliate his immature sister.
Xie Qiao was not angry either.
He just sat there, looked down, and said softly, “This person died in the wild and I needed a few hours to dig up their bones before packing them up. Yesterday I had the wind, and I still feel dizzy today. When I went out to buy medicine, this person was offended by Miss Pei, I definitely want the person who made a mistake on me to apologize to me.”
“Nona Pei, you are a kind girl. You just need to reveal your mistake of sincerely clearing the bones for him. I'm sure he won't be petty with you. Also, you want to do good things, right? You may not be able to do other things, but packing bones is a simple task. You can do it, right?” Xie Qiao spoke softly.
He sat there and looked very polite. His voice was refreshing, like the sound of pearls and jade.
“It was also true. Miss Pei, you open the package. If you really broke the taboo, it's time to fix it now.”
“Nona Xie is a high-achieving sage from the Water Moon Temple. There must be a reason for him to ask his sister to do this. He didn't mean to hurt his sister, did he?”
“Nona Pei, the bones are not too difficult to reset. Your sister can dig it herself. You can definitely do what he does, even though it's not perfect.”
Almost everyone who spoke this time was a follower of the Water Moon Shrine.
The moment they opened their mouths, Pei Wanyue felt gloomy to the point of almost fainting.
‘Do I do all this to do something that can only match Xie Qiao?’
Xie Qiao's face only made Pei Wanyue even more furious.
‘He looks very fragile and pathetic. As if I was the one bothering him!’
Xie Qiao looked prettier than her and had a poorer background than her. No matter what, Xie Qiao was better than him!
‘How do outsiders know that Xie Qiao has such a small substance? She may be illiterate, but she is gaining so much popularity just because of her attractive face!’
Pei Wanyue felt bad. ‘Why is an ugly woman like Mrs Peng giving birth to such a beautiful daughter ?!’
When he thought about being pressed further by Xie Qiao upon their return to the imperial city, he felt sad.
‘But there is an elephant in the room that must be handled now.’
Pei Wanyue's emotions overflowed within him. When she saw that the tears were not working, she decided to act as if she was going to faint—
“Coughs! Cough!” Xie Qiao suddenly clutched his chest and coughed quickly, as if he could barely stand up anymore. He grabbed Pei Wanyue's wrist. “N-Miss Pei, hurry up, my health is not good. I'm worried I'll pass out soon.”
“...” Pei Wanyue felt as if someone had stabbed her heart.
He turned his head and looked at Xie Qiao carefully.
He suspected that he was doing this on purpose.
‘How could this be so coincidental? As I was about to faint, she grabbed my wrist and said something like this ?!’
But now, Xie Qiao's face turned pale, and he leaned weakly on the table. He seemed a little too convincing.
Pei Wanyue was caught in a dilemma.
Everyone looked at him.
Even Madam Lu was surprised by Xie Qiao's appearance. “Quick and pack. Your brother looks really sick. If something goes wrong..”
‘If Xie Qiao loses his reputation, it's not my fault. However, if his body is injured or he loses his life on the road, how do I explain myself when I return home?!’
When Pei Wanyue heard what her mother said, she was angry and sad.
But he can't do anything at all.
Everyone looked at him as if he had just committed a great crime!
The seemingly unhealthy Xie Qiao looked as if he could not close his eyes without seeing him pack his bones. He made everyone look at him as if they were urging him to hurry!
