The Crown Princess Has a Deadly Destiny
Chapter 40
Pei Wanyue quickly shook his head. He looked a little scared. “Not that. I just had a shock along the way. It'sit's okay. You don't have to worry, father.”
“Syok? What are you facing along the way? ”
Xie Niushan did not intend to ask any further. He was worried that his daughter who had appeared so suddenly would feel excluded. So he tried to comfort her.
Pei Wanyue stuttered as if she was struggling to say something.
His behavior made Xie Niushan even more curious.
“What really happened?” Xie Niushan's voice sounded dark, like he was ready to hit someone.
Madam Lu saw her daughter was confused, so she said, “When we picked up the brat, Xie Qiao, she brought a strange package. We were afraid of being checked because it was suspicious, so we opened it and peeked inside. We didn't think it was human bones. Then, Xie Qiao forced him to put the skeleton back in. He's a coward and hasn't experienced the harsh reality of the world, so he's surprised.”
Just because of this?
Xie Niushan's brows furrowed.
It was just a set of human bones …
“Train a little more. Your oldest brother has stored a specially formulated medicine to process these bones to make them clean and tidy. They just hang in their workroom. You can go in and see it occasionally. After a few more peeks, you will not be surprised again.” Xie Niushan said without further ado.
As he said this, Pei Wanyue's face immediately paled.
Madam Lu was stunned as well.
He always knew that Xie Waist was strange, but he never expected him to keep a human skeleton in his house!
These brothers!
Just then, Xie Waist sat on the side.
He was one head taller than Xie Niushan. The burly shape is as big as a bear. Pei Wanyue did not even dare to look at him. Now that he knew she had such a talisman, he was even more afraid to look at her.
Xie Waist rather attentive. “Why would a girl want to see such things? You will only make yourself sick from shock for no reason.”
Pei Wanyue did not feel better.
This feeling was like a bear standing in front of him, telling him not to be afraid.
“Dad, have you prepared a gift for Xie Qiao?” Xie Waist suddenly spoke up and asked.
“Not yet? I thought about checking it out after a few more days. Who knows that they will be home soon.” said Xie Niushan, more on himself than anyone.
Xie Waist raised his head lightly. “I don't either. I've completed my allowance for this month. Lend me a little, Father.”
“I won't lend you anything! Expel! I also don't have much silver left!” Xie Niushan rolled his eyes, suddenly feeling his hands empty. He felt himself struggling a little.
He's poor.
Being an official requires too much money!
Just this rotten house and rotten title had cleared his entire fortune. Beets are left to feed this group of leeches. He didn't even have enough for two better sips of wine. Every month he had to work his hardest to earn money, and he dared not spend anything!
The sight of Xie Niushan and Xie Waist fell on Xie Xi at the same time.
Xie Xi and Xie Pinghuai were both just 12 years old this year.
Xie Xi immediately lowered her head. “No money, malang.”.
“I don't have either!” Xie Pinghuai echoed.
Pinghuai. Xie Xi's head lowered, muttering.
“...” Xie Pinghuai immediately jump backwards. “You can't take my silver. My mom just gave me this! They haven't even been with me long enough to warm up!”
“Heheh. Even if you hold a stone or silver in your hand for 10 days or half a month, they will also not be too warm. As a younger brother, you should respect your brother.” Xie Waist stand.
Like carrying a chicken, he picked up Xie Pinghuai and rummaged through her clothes. After flipping through, he took out two silver banknotes worth 50 pieces of silver each.
“Enough, Dad. A piece of each of us. If we don't have a gift, let's give the money directly. None of us will beat the others.” Xie Waist instantly gave half his money.
“How about me..” Xie Pinghuai's eyes are glazed.
