Chapter 730: So Nice to Her!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xie Pinggang did not quite agree with Xie Qiao’s idea, but seeing that she was quite excited, he said, “I’ll ask the Crown Prince about this. If His Highness agrees, then we’ll do it.”
“I heard what you guys said just now, and I agree with Young Lady Xie’s idea… If we really punish her in public, it can at least intimidate the people and perhaps save many children…
“But…” Yu Xian thought for a moment, then, she said, “If parents don’t want to keep their children, even if they let them live, I’m afraid they won’t have a good life in the future. This drowning of baby girls is a crime, but beating and abusing children… It’s not right, no?”
Xie Qiao’s gaze became more serious.
Deterrence was only a tiny step.
There were already fewer people who drowned baby girls in the world than before, but there were still many girls who were suffering…
This kind of thing could not be changed in a day or two.
Xie Qiao frowned. This bothered her, and she felt very unfortable.
“We’ll talk about the rest later. I’ll see what the Crown Prince wants first.” Xie Pinggang also had a headache.
He did not think that Yu Xian would agree with what Xie Qiao said.
Xie Qiao could only put those superfluous thoughts in her heart. Now that she was a young lady of a rich family and a travelling Taoist master, she could not do anything big. She could only look at the situation in front of her.
The atmosphere was gloomy.
Xie Qiao smiled and changed the topic. “How is Master getting used to the residence? Have you found your relative? Do you need our help?”
Xie Pinggang immediately nodded. “I actually forgot about this. Who is the cousin you are looking for? It’s easy for me to find someone.”
“We… will talk about it later.” Yu Xian hesitated for a moment.
She could not go to see her cousin in a man’s outfit, could she?
“But your cousin is a good-for-nothing. He despises the poor and worships the rich. Seeing that your family is in decline, he doesn’t recognize his family anymore?!” Xie Pinggang was very angry when he heard that, “We are brothers. If there’s anything, just tell me. I will teach that ungrateful dog a lesson for you! From now on, you will live in the Xie Residence. Since my stupid brother is your disciple, he deserves to feed you until you are old!”
Xie Pinggang’s voice was so loud that Xie Qiao could not help but rub her ears.
Yu Xian was touched when she saw how sincere Xie Pinggang was.
She felt very embarrassed when she thought about how she had hidden the truth from him so many times.
These days, she was treated like a distinguished guest in the Xie family. She had the best food, clothes, and everything else. Xie Pinggang was so nice to her that he often acpanied her to practice martial arts because he was worried that she would be bored!
“Brother Xie, I’ve actually… found my cousin. It’s just that I’m poor now. I’m afraid that my cousin will be too worried when he finds out. So, I want to save up money and tidy myself up before I see him!”
“You look great already. You’re a man. You’re not a woman who likes to dress up. Why do you need to look exquisite?” Xie Pinggang waved, disagreeing with her words, “If I were your cousin, I would be quite happy to see you. What else could I care about?”
With that said, Yu Xian thought it made sense.
After thinking for a moment, she said, “Then… I’ll be shameless. Brother Xie, can you please bring a letter to my cousin for me first?”
“Sure! Leave it to me.” Xie Pinggang was very magnanimous.
Yu Xian was happy. She quickly returned to her room and waited on him with a brush and paper. She wrote a thick stack of papers.
She mainly told her cousin what had happened along the way. She also told him that she was now a man and living in the Xie Residence fortably. In addition, she also asked about the situation in the Zhou family…
That was more or less the case.
“Brother Xie, my cousin is also from an aristocratic family, so you should be able to meet him. Moreover, I often hear you mention the Crown Prince… That should be easier.” Yu Xian chuckled heartily, “My cousin’s name is Zhou Weizong. He should be one of the Crown Prince’s guards. Please go and look for him….”
