The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 214 – Poof, There Goes the Family Fortune

Chapter 214: Poof, There Goes the Family Fortune

Xie Qiao looked sincere as she tried to stand up on her own forcefully.

It was impossible for her to argue.

Moreover, if they really were to argue, she could not win against the Xie brothers’ families even if she had ten lives. Look at Ms. Jia and Ms. Xin—they looked like they were used to heavy labor and were strong.

She was weak, and it was suitable for her to pretend to be pitiful.

Furthermore, she was pitiful anyway—she and her sister were being bullied!

“You guys are taking my sister’s things?” Xie Pinggang had a grim expression as he glanced at Xie Zhu’s wrist and took action directly. “Do you believe that I’d chop off your hands?”

Xie Zhu trembled from the scare and dared not say anything. She looked like she was going to faint.

Ms. Xin said immediately, “That’s not what happened, Pinggang. The sisters are just playing… Also, Zhu’er and Chun’er didn’t steal. They’ve been like this forever. The girls love to exchange clothes and accessories… It’s Qiao’s first time here, so she had no idea. She misunderstood…”

Xie Qiao’s words had left Ms. Lu dumbstruck, so she tried to salvage the situation. “My God, don’t you guys know how kindly I treat Xi’er? How would I force them to remove their clothes and accessories? I-I’ve been humiliated!”

Ms. Lu started crying while covering her face as she spoke.

Xie Niushan frowned. “What are you crying about? The ones who are being robbed haven’t even cried yet!”

Ms. Lu jolted and looked at him, feeling wronged.

Xie Niushan was upset. He had willingly paid his respect to his mother and approved the gifts. What was with this robbing?

Although he had not robbed someone for a long time, nobody had ever robbed him!

Nobody should rob his daughters, right!?

If this spread, his years as a bandit would be in vain!

It was his dignity!

“Ah, so they’re exchanging accessories…” Xie Qiao panted and waved at Xie Xi. “How many pieces did they exchange with you? What did they give you?”

Xie Xi blinked slowly before shaking her head a moment later.

“Since it’s an exchange, bring Sister to pick hers, Eldest Brother. Xi’er, these two sisters’ accessories must be pretty. Pick the ones that you like, understand?” Xie Qiao said to Xie Xi.

What did Xie Xi like?

Gold, silver, and jade. To put it simply, she liked valuable things.

“Y-You guys can’t take my stuff!” Xie Chun said as soon as she heard that.

Xie Qiao coughed and spoke slowly. “You guys said it’s an exchange earlier… Eldest Brother, Mother asked me to prepare gifts for my two cousins… I really don’t have any silver on me. Perhaps you should lend me some… Cough, cough, cough!”

Xie Qiao could hardly catch her breath from coughing.

Xie Niushan was panicking when he heard her coughing. “Stop talking, catch your breath.”

He and his eldest son knew that Xie Qiao was weak.

However, she seemed fine since coming to the Imperial City. It was the first time they saw her this weak.

Perhaps she was really upset.

The father and son really did not suspect that Xie Qiao was pretending. After all, nobody dared to bet on Xie Qiao’s health. Even if they knew that she was pretending, their heart sank seeing her like that.

Xie Pinggang had his eyes on Ms. Lu.

“Mother, you’re too much. Father and I prepared gifts when we came here. Now Sister has to take care of the little ones as well? Clueless people would think that this is your maiden family! Does Mother think that our silver grows on trees? That you can give our money away as you wish? You’re managing a home, but you’re like a god that scatters fortune around. Poof, there goes our family fortune!”
