The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 421 – The Pain of Losing A Daughter

Chapter 421: The Pain of Losing A Daughter

It was only the end of the new year, and the people of the Zhou family were already on their way out in exile. It was unknown how long Teacher Qiu’s youngest daughter would live.

After all, the road to exile was not an easy one.

However, even so, she did not think she was at fault.

The one at fault was Prince Consort Zhou. If she was guilty of exposing this sin to the public, she would still do it even if she would die.

However, implicating the innocent was not what she wanted.

“Don’t worry, Teacher Qiu is not that kind of person who doesn’t know what’s right and wrong. After the young lady of the Qiu family found out what the Zhou family had done, she was also in extreme pain. She was worried of implicating her family’s reputation. Therefore, before she was exiled, she… hanged herself and left behind an only son, who was not even ten years old. He isn’t a direct descendant of the Zhou family. Teacher Qiu found some connections and left him in the capital.

“That child witnessed his mother’s death with his own eyes and suffered quite a blow,” Master Lu added.

Teacher Qiu was extremely distressed.

The pain of losing a daughter was truly unbearable.

Although he knew that Xie Pinggang was doing justice for the heavens by investigating this case, he could not help but feel somewhat depressed inside.

“Sir, my Eldest Brother and I didn’t do anything wrong,” Xie Qiao said.

“Young Lady Xie, this old man is not the kind of person who would beat around the bush. This Zhou family’s big case is shocking. Your Eldest Brother avenged so many people’s lives. You did the right thing, However, there are favor outside of law. There are indeed innocent people in the Zhou family. Teacher Qiu’s actions are not incomprehensible,” Master Lu sighed, he then said, “Teacher Qiu has several sons in his life, but he only had one daughter. He was very strict in teaching Young Lady Qiu. He raised her to be able to distinguish right from wrong, to be kind and righteous, and to see the world with justice.”

It was precisely because she was so noble that she was so angry and decisive after discovering what the Zhou family did.

The Qiu family had always had a good reputation. In fact, it was not that they could not let the Zhou family divorce the wife and save their daughter.

Unfortunately, Young Lady Qiu felt that if she were to be constantly criticized by others in the future, she might as well die.

Xie Qiao was silent for a moment, “If it would make Teacher Qiu feel a little better that you deduct these silver beans or let me go to the Peony Courtyard… then just do as you please.”

Xie Qiao’s mood did not fluctuate as much as before.

The Peony Courtyard or the Orchid Courtyard did not make much of a difference to her.

As for those silver beans, they were originally just worldly possessions. She could earn them back by copying books.

Her attitude was neither angry nor sad, and Master Lu was a little surprised.

“Teacher Qiu’s decision is actually beneficial to you. Young Lady Xie, you are a brilliant scholar. If you continue to stay in the Orchid Courtyard, no matter how many first-place exams you achieve, it won’t be as pleasant as being in the Peony Courtyard,” Master Lu said.

Moreover, Xie Qiao’s personality was too calm.

She had gotten so many silver beans, but she had never been too happy. Now that she had lost so much, she still looked indifferent.

Just like an old Taoist master.

The competition in the Peony Courtyard was more intense.

“Thank you for your teachings, Sir,” Xie Qiao said simply, then got up and went back to the academy to pack her things.

However, when she returned to the academy, he saw a child glaring at her.

And beside this child, there was a ghoul floating.

In the academy, most ghouls did not dare to come in. After all, the Yang energy was strong, but the ghoul beside this child was very stubborn. It had always stayed by the side and was quite persistent.

This ghoul was also somewhat weakened by the Yang Energy. If this continued, it might completely dissipate.

“That child… has the surname Zhou. He has been standing there since he arrived earlier and hasn’t spoken a word. It’s really frightening,” Qin Liu tugged at Xie Qiao’s clothes, “He even went to the Begonia Courtyard two days ago and stared at your younger brother like that. Second Young Master Xie almost beat him up. Fortunately, someone stopped him.”
