The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 83 - Pent-Up Emotions

Chapter 83 - Pent-Up Emotions

Xie Qiao's tone was firm, and it was even laced with a hint of mockery.
Xie Qiao paused for a moment and said slowly after calming down a little, "I'm sure all of us will be assigned to collect the donation ourselves unless I can't do it on my own. Otherwise, it's impossible that I get you guys to carry the burden for me, right?"
"It is, but…" Fang Muxue felt rather awkward, "It's just that the donation is quite a lot, and we're only left with a month to submit the next donation. Each of us from the Orchid Courtyard will have to prepare 500 silver beans."
500?
That was quite a lot indeed.
These people said that one could use silver to buy the silver beans. However, since the academy had such a rule, if the families compensated, the amount of silver that might be used would be much higher than the value of the silver beans.
Naturally, it was mainly because it would ruin one's reputation.
If one did not give the silver beans, nor did they get their family to compensate, the amount would be assigned to the other students. Otherwise, the Orchid Courtyard's overall grade would be affected.
"Thank you, Young Lady Fang, for the reminder. I'll think of a way myself," said Xie Qiao.
"Hah, you're saying as if it's easy. I'm sure you'll get your family to help in the end, right? If there's anyone from our Orchid Courtyard who's donating depending on her family, we'll be humiliated!" Xia Yayun said intentionally.
"I said I'd think of a way, so I'll definitely do it. There's no need for Young Lady Xia to be pointing fingers and sticking your nose in my business," Xie Qiao said coldly.
"What if you can't!?" However, Xia Yayun was not ready to let go of Xie Qiao just yet.
Before Xie Qiao could speak, Xia Yayun added, "If you fail to gather the silver beans, you'll get out of our Orchid Courtyard. How is that? Whether you're going to the Snowball Bush Courtyard or Begonia Courtyard, our Orchid Courtyard isn't for you!"
Xie Qiao held her head low slightly while rubbing the tiny bell on her wrist.
"I've no idea about the talent of the students from the Orchid Courtyard. However, judging by Young Lady Xia's behavior, I'm sure that you guys who agree with her have low virtue as well." Xie Qiao said and smiled in a sarcastic manner, "If I can't hit the Orchid Courtyard's requirement, without the pressure coming from all of you, I'll go to the place that suits me. However…
"Young Lady Xia, I think your behavior has lowered the entire Orchid Courtyard's standard. If I manage to gather the donation, please get out. How is that?" Xie Qiao smiled lightly.
Her tone was too peaceful as if she was talking about something very normal.
In reality, some of these people were anticipating to see Xie Qiao being pissed today.
After all, the Xie family was born bandits. In their eyes, they were rude and crude.
Meanwhile, the rest were people of noble blood who looked at the lowly people of a different kind in a condescending manner.
However, what they did not expect was that Xie Qiao was presenting overly calmly.
She was fearless, not angry, not surprised, and not afraid.
She looked like she was chatting about something simple. Her slow voice was even like a soft wind. She made people feel intense guilt and shame.
A lady who came from a bandit family was as clean as a piece of white cloth. It was so ironic that it made one fail to hold their head up.
Xia Yayun's cheeks flushed from the anger.
She knew that what she did was aggressive, but she hated the people from the Xie family.
Especially Xie Pinggang's sister from the same mother!
Who had asked Xie Pinggang to bully her Sister Dong!?
Xie Qiao could not help but smile upon seeing that nobody spoke.
"So you guys are bullying me? Or maybe I should speak to the teacher. I need someone to be on my side, or else... I'm worried that I'll have pent-up emotions. My life would be painful." Xie Qiao smiled and got up.
"Sure!" snarled Xia Yayun as soon as Xie Qiao moved. "I don't believe that you'll be able to gather the donation!"
Apart from donations, she would need money for food and necessities as well!
Since the age of ten, they had been in the academy, so they would definitely have some savings. Xie Qiao was a newbie. Could she do it!?
