The Crown Princess Has a Deadly Destiny
Chapter 52
Xie Qiao focused all his attention on his painting. His face was now paler, while sweat poured out from his forehead.
After he finished painting, he looked much weaker. He sighed softly and rummaged through the bamboo basket, finally picking up a small jade stamp.
He stamped it on an ink pad. After exhaling, he branded it on the painting as hard as he could.
Xie Qiao was quite satisfied with that.
Back when he was at the Water Moon Shrine, he would barely paint. In addition to painting as a practice, the neat appearance is usually in the form of small paintings.
He had gone to great lengths to be able to enter the Royal Academy now.
In reality, it was not because he could not accept the Xie family's silver.
He still had silver with him. To be honest, if not for her deadly destiny and the dark energy in her body, Madam Peng would probably not have died the moment she was born. Therefore, he felt somewhat guilty towards Xie Niushan and Xie Waist.
If not for that, he would not have avoided Madam Lu as much as he could.
As long as Madam Lu did not cross her line, she would definitely be kind to Madam Lu.
After the painting dried up, Xie Qiao framed it himself.
Three days later, Xie Niushan came to take him to the Royal Academy to become a disciple.
Become a first-round freshman.
Naturally, the amount of silver and one's identity were not the only qualifications the Royal Academy needed to accept students. First, they have to see if the person really wants to learn. If they paid with silver, they would have to write a little in the academy to prove that they were not completely illiterate.
It was mainly for the registration of the daughters of the third-grade officials and below. The youngest is 10 years old.
For women, although not many only register when they are 16 or 17 years old, there are also such.
However, if they were still illiterate at such an age, it would be too late for the academy to teach even if they wanted to.
Therefore, people who come should at least be able to read and write.
As they departed, Pei Wanyue revealed sadness on his face, making Xie Niushan feel pity.
If not for the fact that his family had no money, he would have brought this woman along with a wave of his hand.
“Yue’er told me that she liked her older sister all the way here. He wanted to stay with Qiao’er. Now Qiao’er will join the Royal Academy, but Yue’er went elsewhere, the brothers will not be together.” Mistress Lu was annoyed.
Xie Qiao frowned lightly.
“He never said it.” Xie Qiao looked serious.
Madam Lu was stunned. “What?”
“He never said he wanted to be with me. I don't want to be his friend, so there's nothing we can talk about. If Mother really wants to send Pei Wanyue to the Royal Academy, you can ask Father for help as you wish. I won't stop you, but don't drag me into this. I've said this to you before.” said Xie Qiao.
Madam Lu felt uncomfortable after hearing that. “J-So you underestimated Yue’er? B-After all, he is your stepbrother.”.
“I don't underestimate it. He is the one who humbles himself.” Xie Qiao smiled lightly, “He compares with me in every way. Why torture himself like that?”
Xie Qiao put down the curtain of the carriage as he spoke.
Madam Lu's facial expression looked gloomy as she was blocked outside.
It was not that Xie Qiao did not know about what was going on. Ever since Pei Wanyue first looked at Xie Qiao, his eyes were as if they were tinged with poison.
He did that because he imagined the ugly Xie Qiao.
Xie Niushan was surprised by his daughter's straightforward words. He frowned lightly.
Madam Lu noticed that and panicked. He immediately said, “A-I sincerely want the brothers bound. Who would have thought this girl would be so cold? Yue’er wanted to spend time with him a few times, but she indifferently rejected him. What can I do about it?”

NEXT? A STOP?
