The Crown Princess Has a Deadly Destiny
Chapter 43
The gift Xie Qiao gave Xie Xi was a lump of pure gold.
Xie Waist missed the opportunity to rob while stroking the jade statue in his arms like a fool.
“Come to eat while chatting.” Xie Niushan was very happy as he watched.
“Are we not going to visit grandma?” Xie Qiao suddenly asked.
Xie Niushan's facial expression stiffened upon hearing that.
Although the Xie family obtained their wealth from being bandits, they had many descendants.
When Xie Niushan had become a bandit back then, he cut ties with the Xie family to avoid dragging his mother and brother. After becoming an official later in life, she felt guilty for having treated her mother badly, who had raised her for many years. So, he made people bring him back to her.
Since he was taking care of the old woman, it was only natural that he would have to take care of his other sons and grandchildren.
From what Xie Qiao knew, the old woman did not live here. The limited silver Xie Niushan had given to the two wives of the Xie family to each buy a house.
He doesn't know much about the rest.
Since he was here, it would be impolite not to meet with the seniors.
He had to be kind just to ask, the least he could do.
Xie Niushan looked a bit awkward. Xie Waist more straightforwardly by saying directly, “The old woman doesn't like us, so don't look for her unless there's something urgent. You won't get anything good out of it.”
“Hah!” Xie Niushan forced a chuckle.
After realizing that her husband looked terrible, Lady Lu said attentively, “Qiao’er, don't blame your grandmother. The thing is, the old lady is strict in terms of rules. He wasn't happy for your father to be a bandit back then, so .. he didn't like you and Gang’er.” either
Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Even though they didn't talk much, he still understood.
She and the birth mother of her eldest brother, Mrs Peng, were a bandit more legitimate than her father.
His biological grandfather was the leader of a bandit group before. It could be said that his grandfather had persuaded Xie Niushan to become his son-in-law to inherit the mountain fortress.
To the old woman, she and Xie Waist had bandit blood.
Xie Waist grunting. “What rules? He's just old and stupid. Without my mother, could she be the matriarch of the house now? Does he think another stupid wife from the Xie family allowed him to do this?”
“What am I for you?! How dare you criticize my mother right in front of me!?” Xie Niushan was annoyed to hear it and kicked Xie Waist thighs.
Unexpectedly, Xie Niushan was thrown back by his own kick.
She's pissed.
Xie Waist turned to glare at him.
Xie Niushan raised his head and growled, “I am your father, can't I kick you ?!”
“Hmph, don't forget how you got your general position. I'm a man, so I'm not going to question the old man. Have him be nice, or my fists won't have eyes when I hit!” Xie Waist scoffing.
Xie Niushan felt somewhat helpless.
That's mom!
Damnit damnit!
Pei Wanyue was stunned as he looked.
He had never seen an unfilial grandson!
What Xie Waist said was actually empty words. He looked fierce, but he wouldn't really fight with his own father. He even sat quietly.
After knowing the situation, Xie Qiao would naturally not ask to see the old woman now. He's not a masochist.
Xie Niushan continued to speak at the dining table.
He boasted how invincible he was in the military camp. If not for his low background, he would have been promoted by now. He wouldn't be stuck being a lowly fourth-grade general now.
“It's pointless for you to say all this. Get some silver from the treasury and buy your way to allow my eldest sister to visit the Academy. He will only find someone qualified there.” Xie Waist gave him a cold blanket at critical moments.
