The Crown Princess Has a Deadly Destiny
Chapter 33
Zhao Xuanjing raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a puzzled look.
After meeting this young lady, he had spent a total of two hundred and sixty silvers, including the previous meeting. Instead, he simply gave her some general advice.
Some words are too mysterious to understand, but few
all he could understand, he remembered.
“Nona Xie, your advice is very expensive.” Zhao Xuanjing smiled, though it looked a bit stiff.
“Let's talk about this amount of silver. Young Master won't part with him?” Xie Qiao remained calm as usual, nothing to lose. “Silver I received from you is not much. Those who can afford it will feel nothing. Plus, you offered me this amount of your own choice without me asking.”
Zhao Xuanjing agreed.
He had offered that kind of money willingly.
‘It's my first time doing this.’
‘So I can't say he's greedy for my money.’
“Thank you, Young Miss. I look forward to seeing you again in the future.” Zhao Xuanjing felt it was too late now and he did not want to chat any further.
“Hmm, I will definitely meet you again.” Xie Qiao nodded.
“...” Zhao Xuanjing looked at him suspiciously, and deliberately pretended to be stupid, “You will soon go to the imperial city. You are a businesswoman, but you have never been to an imperial city before?”
Xie Qiao laughed.
The way the Young Master spoke was as if he was speaking to a First Lady standing amongst a group of men. Everyone declares her their true love, but you know it's just a lie. Xie Qiao rubbed his toes to the ground twice and spoke softly, “But don't worry, Young Master, even if I meet you in the Imperial City, I'm not, I'll pretend I don't know you.”
Xie Qiao's words were too straightforward, and it broke Zhao Xuanjing's cool indifference.
He is somewhat sensitive in his identity. If the case is solved, it will be difficult to tell others that he is relying on a fortune-telling.
It was not that the prophecy was bad, he was also innocent of it.
Someone will use this to accuse him of not doing his job properly. It will only invite more trouble.
“Then, I thank you, Young Miss,” Zhao Xuanjing replied in earnest.
This Young Miss is so smart that it makes her bounce.
‘As an unmarried Young Miss, how can I foresee everywhere, and even get acquainted with a man?’
‘So pretending not to know each other is the best!’
Zhao Xuanjing's eyelids twitched, but he saw that Xiao Qiao was really serious about this.
After a while, Xie Qiao packed his things and climbed into the waiting carriage.
Xie Qiao left in euphoria without looking back. He did not spare the group of people accompanying him at a glance. The big rooster by his side received his full attention. He paid more attention than anyone, including the Young Master.
Zhao Xuanjing couldn't see anything was wrong, but something felt strange.
“Young Master, is Miss Xie really a noble and proud person?” The Zhou Imperial Guards could not hold their breath.
“How do you know? He seems like a money-minded person.”
No matter how stubborn he looked, he immediately changed his behavior when he saw the silver.
His facial expression changed faster than turning the page.
“With so many people accompanying you, everyone knows that you come from an unusual background. However, this girl will not see you differently. He is very likely to be a noble and arrogant person.”
The Zhou Imperial Guards spoke solemnly.
Zhao Xuanjing raised his eyebrows, “Maybe he thinks there are too many ugly people around him, so he can't bear to see them.”
“...” Eyelids Imperial Guard Zhou twitch.
‘In the past few days, I feel Young Master has become much softer, and it is just an illusion!’
…
Xie Qiao was sitting in the carriage offered to him as a gift by the people in the Floating Pavilion City. All the coachmen were his own people, so he felt more comfortable riding the carriage.
After handling things alone, her stepmother and stepbrother were just about to depart from the city. They caught up with each other after a while. The two teams slowly merged into one.
Pei Wanyue's eyes were now swollen like walnuts.
