Chapter 1080 Her Loyal Father by Blood
Xie Qiao knew that Xie Pinghuai would feel uncomfortable, but she did it on purpose.
Xie Pinghuai had never suffered since he was young. In fact, due to the indulgence of Ms. Lu, he always felt that he was different from others. He was more or less arrogant.
She just wanted to let her younger brother know that in this family, no matter how fierce and unreasonable Xie Pinggang was, he was more responsible than him. Hence, she had offended and provoked Xie Pinggang a lot, however, the eldest brother was still an eldest brother. His status was the same as her biological father.
In her eyes, this little brother of hers was a child who could not grow up.
If there was too much new year’s money for the child, it would not be good.
Xie Qiao seemed to not see Xie Pinghuai’s gaze. It was a little cold and emotionless.
Xie Pinghuai was very disappointed.
Was it like what Senior Aunt Mo said? He was not sensible enough and was not likable enough? Therefore, even his eldest sister did not really like him that much…
Even though he had gotten the money from his eldest sister, he suddenly felt like something was missing in his heart.
However, he did not want others to see it.
It was the first time he had truly restrained his emotions.
He stood silently at the side and did not say much. However, when he saw how happy the whole family was, he did not dare to ruin it. Instead, he revealed a very ordinary smile.
Xie Qiao and Xie Pinggang both noticed it, but they tacitly chose to ignore it.
This little brat. If he was not taught a lesson, he would not grow up.
Xie Qiao had obtained so much money. When she needed to spend money at the Fortunate Pavilion, she would be even more generous.
After the new year, Xie Qiao began to draw the Baili family members’ portraits one by one.
Baili Ji also knew that Xie Qiao had worked hard. He did not ask for everyone in the Baili family to be drawn. He only chose a few ghouls who had studied extremely well or had left behind works to represent the Baili family.
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, there were less than ten days left until Xie Qiao’s wedding day.
The wedding would happen after the new year. As the weather became warm, the capital became more and more lively.
More and more nobles returned to the capital from all over the world. On the bustling streets every day, one could see many sons of nobles ostentatiously passing through the city and throwing money away.
There were many Commandery Princes in the current dynasty, most of them only having titles of nobility. There were not many princes with real power, and among them, there were only two brothers of the current emperor.
These two people were honorable.
As the wife of the Crown Prince, the Xie family was also very popular. Many of these nobles who suddenly appeared also gave them big gifts.
Xie Xi could not decide easily, so Xie Qiao taught her and made the necessary arrangements.
The gifts they gave were all based on their status. If they exceeded the rule, it would be difficult to accept them.
For instance, Prince Rong’s gift was not small.
It was actually a blood red coral that was nearly two feet long. It was extremely beautiful. Other than the coral, there were also some high-quality snow ears and other items. They were all expensive.
There were too many things and they were too expensive. Xie Xi was shocked.
Xie Qiao pushed the matter to Xie Niushan and Xie Pinggang directly.
Xie Niushan’s official position was not low either. He went to the palace directly to look for an audience and told the emperor about this feeling of fear.
Xie Niushan was very good at pretending to be fearful.
He also knew that the emperor promoted him because he felt that he was becoming more and more loyal. Therefore, when he saw the emperor again, he put on a loyal and honest appearance.
“I have never seen such a red and beautiful coral. I don’t know how much manpower was used to dig it out from the sea, but it’s incredible. I’m making enough money to support my family now. I wouldn’t appreciate such a good thing even if I put it in my home. It would be a waste to sell it, so I brought it to you, Your Majesty.”
