The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 155 - Kowtow

Chapter 155 - Kowtow

Yuan Rong had yet to recover completely. However, he came over immediately upon learning that Ms. Lu was looking for him.

Ms. Lu was satisfied to see him panicking. She asked, "These are such good brocades. I'm worried that the seamstresses at home won't do a great job. Bring these to two outstanding seamstresses out there to make clothes."

Yuan Rong asked immediately, "Are they for Second Young Lady?"

He was asking the obvious. He was a steward as well, so he knew who the gift should belong to.

"No…" Ms.. Lu looked like she was struggling. "They're for First Young Lady."

It would be terrible if the news of her giving the gift meant for someone else to her daughter spread, right?

She knew that it was a difficult task to be the wife of an official. Many people were watching.

"For First Young Lady?" Yuan Rong pretended to look surprised. "How about Second Young Lady? If First Young Lady is the only one getting the clothes, I'm worried that Second Young Lady might be upset thinking that you're taking sides? Also, I heard that there are many talented men at Gulan Academy. Second Young Lady is beautiful. If she wears these moon-patterned clothes, she will definitely be in the limelight…"

What Yuan Rong said went straight into Ms. Lu's heart.

That was right. Her daughter was healthy, and such bright colors suited her.

"Then… Make clothes according to their sizes. Make the same ones."

n.o.body would overstep anyone. That would work, right?

Yuan Rong responded immediately and brought the brocades out.

...

Xie Qiao was at the academy. Yuan Bin was there under the watch of the Yuan family's subordinate.

As soon as he appeared, the people at the academy revealed looks of disdain. It was embarra.s.sing that the Royal Academy had such a shameless person!

Xie Pinghuai had been waiting. He had even brought a grandmaster chair for Xie Qiao.

As soon as Yuan Bin arrived, Xie Pinghuai brought her over immediately. Xie Qiao did not hold back and sat on the chair.

Yuan Bin felt like his cheeks were burning.

"Xie Qiao, there are people here. Are you adding insult to the injury?" Xia Yayun just despised Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao glanced faintly at her. "You think an unethical person is pitiful? Young Lady Xia, I admire your courage."

Xia Yayun was stunned. She then sensed the onlookers' looks of contempt. Her facial expression changed, and she said immediately, "That's not what I meant! I wouldn't pity such a person even if he were to die here!"

Xia Qiao scoffed.

The rest thought Xia Yayun was being unreasonable.

Since she thought Yuan Bin deserved it, why had she criticized Xie Qiao?

However, Xia Yayun was not the star at the moment. Yuan Bin was.

He did not want to kneel, especially when he saw Xie Pinghuai's smug face. He felt troubled. However, his grandfather's subordinate was here with him. He had to kneel no matter what.

He bent his knees, feeling humiliated and kowtowed.

One...

Two…

…

Five...

Six…

Seven...

...

Ten…

He did it very fast, so he was soon done with the kowtows.

He got up immediately as if there was a furnace on the ground. Meanwhile, the bystanders could not help but help to count. After they were done counting, they felt rather disappointed.

It was over so soon.

Xie Qiao's anger was gone. She was happy now.

Xie Pinghuai had initially thought it would be quite interesting. However, looking at Yuan Bin swallowing his anger, his excitement was calmed down.

Yuan Bin was considered to be ruined. The academy would definitely expel him while his father's official position was at risk. When Old Master Yuan died, the Yuan family would definitely be divided. Yuan Bin would definitely not be able to marry a wife.

In reality, Xie Pinghuai wanted to say something sarcastic.

However, he saw his eldest sister sitting around, looking majestic. He thought he should not ruin his eldest sister's moment. Otherwise, he would look like Yuan Bin, an annoying jerk.
