The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 397 - Matrilocality

Chapter 397 - Matrilocality

At that moment, the old lady really could not hold back her tears.
She had been humiliated and injured over and over again, and now even her tooth had fallen out. She was too unlucky!
"Y-You… Get lost!" The old lady pointed at Xie Qiao and said.
Xie Qiao's eyes were slightly cold, "What does Grandmother mean by this?"
"It's all because of you, the jinx, who has brought bad luck on me!" The old lady could not help but cover her mouth as she spoke, afraid that the wind would leak from the hole in her mouth.
Xie Qiao secretly sneered. This old lady reacted pretty fast!
That was right, this person... was her nemesis..
"Is Grandmother muddled from the fall? How can you say such things?" Xie Qiao's expression was calm, then, she said to the servant, "After Grandmother has taken the medicine, escort her home to rest. You must take the medicine on time. Grandmother is currently not feeling well and it's cold outside. For the sake of her bones, she can't be exposed to the wind. After going back, close the doors and windows and let Grandmother rest in the house."
"Are you trying to lock me up?!" The old lady said quickly.
Xie Qiao was not afraid of what others would say about her, she just nodded calmly, "Grandmother, you have to bear with it. Your injured muscles and bones will be healed in a hundred days. After a hundred days, the weather will be warm. When the flowers bloom in spring, your body will definitely recover. However, you have to maintain a good mood since you're sick. Since Grandmother doesn't want to see me, then... I'll leave. I'll have to trouble Cousin Jia to take care of you."
With that, Xie Qiao turned around elegantly.
She was not the one who pushed the old lady when she fell. If her words reached the ears of anyone, they would not suspect that she had plotted that.
They would even think that her words were harsh and bitter.
The servants behind her were guarding the old lady.
At that moment, the old lady suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
There was no one in the house who could help her, and her second son had not returned home either. Perhaps this girl wanted to suffocate her to death in the house!
By then, even if she died, all she had to do was to tell others that she fell to her death!
Thinking of that, the old lady shuddered.
"No, I'm not going back. I want to go back to my own house!" The old lady said hurriedly, "Did you all see that?! That wretched girl, she wanted to kill me!"
However, the doctor shook his head, "Old Lady, I see that your granddaughter is very filial. You're old, and your bones are broken. There might be some side effects, and you might limp a little. You can't catch a cold, so you should stay in the house and rest."
She was not wrong, right?
If there was really a problem, it was that the girl's words were a little straightforward. She did not seem like a child who would sweet-talk her elders.
"Isn't that right? I came over from the jewelry store earlier. Your injury was clearly caused by you falling while walking. Your granddaughter wanted to support you, but you didn't let her!" When a woman heard the old lady's words, she immediately curled her lips, "Look at how you're dressed. You don't seem to come from a poor family. There shouldn't be a lack of servants at home, right? Why are you still so harsh on your granddaughter?"
"That girl who came earlier. She's Master Xie's eldest daughter."
A medicine boy could not help but add.
With that said, a few people sighed and understood.
When the others saw that, they immediately asked in secret.
After the conversation, the way they looked at the old lady started to become subtle.
They thought that they were just ordinary grandparent and grandchild, but they did not expect that it was not the case at all!
Everyone knew about Master Xie. Back then, he had been given an official title and was seen on horseback in the city. Everyone in the city had even discussed him. People had investigated who his ancestors were thoroughly.
It could be said that Master Xie... was once considered to have a matrilocality into the bandit mountain stronghold!
