The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 74 - Troublemaker

Chapter 74 - Troublemaker

Xie Qiao liked Master Lu a lot more now out of nowhere, so she was paying attention in cla.s.s.

She had been reading miscellaneous books back at the Taoist temple and had never read such a book before.

Although Master Lu was a little arrogant, Xie Qiao was focused in cla.s.s.

It was just that Xie Qiao had no idea that Master Lu was secretly observing her too.

'What a troublemaker…'

Before cla.s.s, he had already had a feeling that this would happen. After all, Xie Niushan's ident.i.ty was… too sensitive.

In the academy, the other two children from the Xie family were boycotted. Now he had one in his cla.s.s too. If she was a rough one, arguments would be hard to be avoided..

He was old now and was worried that the scary Xie Niushan's daughter would be hard to teach. What if she rebelled against him?

However, after observing her during the cla.s.s, Master Lu was over the moon!

Even if she was illiterate, judging by how focused she was, she was definitely a good child!

Master Lu's cla.s.s lasted the entire morning.

Almost all of the ladies in the cla.s.s were sleepy.

This made Xie Qiao's eyes extra bright.

"Do you think she understands? She's definitely b.u.t.tering up Master Lu," whispered the two ladies next to Xie Qiao.

"I heard she has the same mother as Xie Pinggang. Sigh... This is annoying. I'm dying to criticize the people from the Xie family whenever I think about Sister Dong!" said the other lady.

Xie Qiao raised her brows slightly.

Sister Dong?

Could she be…

The one that her brother had confessed to and stalked?

That should not be? Her eldest brother was an unromantic man. He had yet to mature in that aspect, and he was still single. How was it possible that he could court a lady?

The lady changed the topic. "I heard that His Highness, the Crown Prince, had come to the Imperial City. If he's here, the Fourth Imperial Highness will definitely fall into hards.h.i.+p."

"His Highness is great in everything, but he's just too stubborn. An emperor can't be a cripple. If I were him, I would've resigned since the beginning. He's wasting the love the officials are giving him."

"Shh, softer, please," the other person reminded her immediately.

Who would be willing to resign from such a position?

Since the beginning of time, which crippled Crown Prince would have a good ending?

Xie Qiao was forced to listen to a round of gossip again.

Crown Prince? Crippled?

She had just come to the Imperial City, so she did not know much about the officials. However… Something seemed to be wrong with the hand of the Young Master that she had b.u.mped into earlier?

Could he be…

Xie Qiao thought about a lot of things, which made her stay awake.

She already knew about a lot of things that Master Lu was talking about. In reality, the morning cla.s.s was rather harsh to her.

After the mandatory cla.s.s ended, Xie Qiao was ready to leave early.

Although the horseback archery course was mandatory, it only happened a few times a month instead of daily. Therefore, she could leave.

It was not that she missed home. She just wanted to look for a store to arrange the business to secure her life.

"She has just attended half a day of cla.s.s, and she is already leaving. As expected, she's just here to pa.s.s the time. She's worse than her brother and sister!"

Xie Qiao had just left when someone said their piece behind her back, looking irritated.

"Alright, are you done? What if you trigger her and Xie Pinggang comes looking for you?"

"Who said I'm scared of him?! He's just a low-ranking official, and he dared to dream about wooing Sister Dong! If he dares to bother her again, I'll get something to capture him!"

Although she said that, Xie Niushan was an official after all.

Also…

There was another reason why the Xie family had been living a peaceful life until now…
