The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 384 - Filial Piety

Chapter 384 - Filial Piety

Xie Pinggang sighed.
He had only thought of the victim. Now that he saw Xie Qiao's pitiful state, the idea he had naturally disappeared.
He could rely on his own abilities to solve the case, but he could not save this girl.
Recently, he had to think about the Shanhan Academy's test, and time was running out.
When his Father sent troops back, his eldest sister's marriage had to be decided. Iit could not be delayed any longer!
Xie Qiao did not want to stay with Xie Pinggang at that moment.
This guy's mind was filled with cases, and he told too many details. In her mind, she could already picture the scene of the bad guys killing people. It was too brutal.
It was already quite painful to look at those ghouls, and she still had to listen to Xie Pinggang's description of the bloody scene…
It was better to escape.
Xie Qiao reluctantly looked at the Crown Prince again.
After returning, it would be better for her to... paint this man.
...
The Crown Prince was a man of his word. He had just left today, and the next day, he had someone bring two large boxes of books over.
Xie Qiao also ran over to join in the fun, and realized that she had actually memorized all the books.
It made sense as she thought about it. The Crown Prince and she had the same master, so the things they taught were naturally the same.
Xie Pinggang looked at these books with a serious expression, as if he had met a great enemy. However, he was actually quite patient. He gritted his teeth and really carried a stack of books back to the house. Not long after, the sound of reciting books could be heard.
One after another, it was like thunder, buzzing and muffled. It was even rhythmic.
Xie Qiao could not bear to hear another word, she immediately ran away.
"First Young Lady, someone came over from the old house today. They said that they want the Second Young Master and Second Young Lady to visit," the steward told Xie Qiao about that.
The old house?
Xie Qiao was stunned for a moment before she remembered that uncle from the Xie family.
"No need to bother," Xie Qiao directly rejected.
This uncle of the Xie family was quite smart. He knew that she and eldest brother were not to be trifled with, so he chose the soft option.
If Xie Xi and Xie Pinghuai were to visit, they would probably be coaxed away after a round of hospitality.
"But... that person said that the old lady misses her grandchildren and has not stayed with us for some time. If the Second Young Master and Second Young Lady don't come, then the old lady... will have to come and stay," the steward was quite troubled.
That old lady... had come and stayed before. At that time, he was not the steward, but he was also deeply hurt.
The old lady was not from a prestigious family, but she had many requirements.
She had to eat and use the best. If anything was slightly not up to her standard, she would stir trouble.
At that time, it was Ms. Lu who took care of the family. She was willing to give the old lady everything, but that made the old man from accounts worried sick. Every time he did the accounts, he would lose a lot of hair.
"Grandmother is coming to live with us?" Xie Qiao was very surprised when she heard that. She thought for a moment and said, "Since Grandmother is coming back, we can't stop her. We don't want to be accused of being unfilial for no reason. If that's the case, then... send a few people over and bring her over personally."
"Bring her over?" The steward was surprised.
"Yes, Father is very filial. How can he abandon his mother? Now that Father isn't here, as the daughter, I should share his worries," Xie Qiao had a serious look on her face. She did not seem to care at all.
When the steward heard that, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Recently, the first young master received a reward. Before the master left, he had also found someone to lend him a sum of money. Now that the family expenses were sufficient, it was enough for the time being.
However, it was probably not enough if the old madam came.
Since the young lady wanted to be filial, he could not stop her.
At that moment, the old house was also panicking.
It was the new year, yet not a single person from the second brother's family came over to give New Year gifts!
Could it be that the fight with second brother earlier had really upset him?! So he did not even leave a message before he left?!
