What happened at the Bai family had caused such a huge motion that it was difficult for others not to know about it.
Xie Qiao stayed in her room all day inscribing talismans, preparing to eliminate the ghouls in the temple. However, she had also heard many things about Pang Hanwei.
Nevertheless, she was not surprised.
During this period of time, it could be said that Pang Hanwei’s luck was at its best.
However, no matter how good a person’s luck was, the things they had seen since young were too little.
This opportunity was right in front of her, and she could not seize it.
The Bai family had so much wealth. If she was more sensible and worked hard to hold it in her hands, even if she did not bee a powerful person in this lifetime, she would not have to worry about three meals a day, and she would always be safe.
Unfortunately, this lady was raised by a servant.
It was not that the servant was lowly, but the old man had been a servant since he was young. He had been like this for decades, and he would always carry a sense of inferiority in his bones. The child he raised indeed could not hold the mountain of gold and silver.
…
Xie Qiao calmed herself down and inscribed another one.
Just as she put it away, Zhao Xuanjing knocked on the door.
“Zhao Xuzhi, that b*stard, sent a message to the Fourth Prince’s people. There are a few ministers in the court who are investigating me.” The Crown Prince’s words seemed to be angry, but Xie Qiao did not see any anxiety on his face.
“Why are they investigating you for? Solving the case?” Xie Qiao teased.
“Saying that we’re in a relationship, saying that you charmed the Crown Prince, and that you’re actually practising witchcraft,” Zhao Xuanjing said calmly.
Those people behind the Fourth Prince were like mad dogs every time they had something on him, so the words they said were naturally more unpleasant.
He was guessing other than those people who had neutral feelings about him in the court, there were two sides quarreling.
One side was his father’s old ministers, who also respected him very much, and the other side was the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince’s external family.
“Me? Witchcraft?” Xie Qiao was upset.
If she really was a witch, Zhao Xuzhi would have been dead long ago. How would he still be alive now?
The feng shui master who tampered with Pang Xiyuan and the Li family’s graves must be very capable, right? To be able to cause the deaths of all the members of a family, she had such abilities too!
“Are you angry?” Zhao Xuanjing suddenly tilted his head to look at her expression.
Xie Qiao snorted and said slowly, “I’m not angry when others are. Who can I reason with when I’m mad?”
“It’s not a big deal. If you want, I’ll marry you. It’s legal, how would it be that you charmed me? If you don’t want to… I’ll choose one of the officials’ daughters. You’ll be excused if I get married,” Zhao Xuanjing said shamelessly.
Xie Qiao chuckled.
She felt unfortable.
She coveted this face and body. If her junior brother was married, she would not be able to look at him much. In the future, when she was scared by those ghouls, she would not have anything to please her eyes with.
However, hearing him say that he would marry the daughter of an official, she was unhappy.
“Which family is she from?” Xie Qiao was depressed, but she still looked calm.
“I’ve mentioned it to you several times. It’s Xie Pinggang’s sister, Young Lady Xie Qiao. What do you think?” Zhao Xuanjing asked persistently with a burning gaze.
This was not the first time Xie Qiao had heard that.
“Can’t it be someone else? From what you say, it can be anyone else,” Xie Qiao added.
“Of course not. There’s no one else besides Senior Sister and Young Lady Xie,” Zhao Xuanjing said in all seriousness.
How long was this girl going to pretend?
With that said, it was Xie Qiao’s turn to pete with him again.
Xie Pinggang was just about to e over. He had just stepped half a foot in when he heard the Crown Prince’s words. His eyes immediately lit up. “Your Highness, is what you said just now true?! You’re choosing between Master Mo and my Eldest Sister?!”
