The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 282 – Loss-making Business

Chapter 282: Loss-making Business

When Xie Qiao heard what the steward said, she almost choked.

Father must have suffered a great shock!

However, Xie Qiao really should not pity him. After all, he did not even check the things in his armory from time to time. As long as he put in some effort, he would not let those things be emptied by others.

However, although she thought that, he was her biological father after all.

She could not just ignore him. She could not leave him being angry.

Xie Qiao changed her clothes and immediately went to the front courtyard.

Xie Niushan had already gathered his men and even gave each of them a broom. It was obvious that he was going to stir trouble.

“Father,” Xie Qiao’s face was pale as she called out shakily, “Are you going to kill someone?”

When Xie Niushan heard that, he felt guilty for a moment, “No, I’m going to collect debt…”

“Who stole something from our house?” Xie Qiao’s voice remained soft.

Xie Niushan was also embarrassed to say it directly.

Xie Qiao suddenly smiled and said, “Get them to put these down. There are so many brooms. What are you going to sweep? Father, I heard that you lost something?”

Xie Niushan glared at the steward fiercely.

The steward buried his head and felt wronged.

“Why are you staring at him? Could it be that it was the steward who lost something?” Xie Qiao said calmly, then she went forward and patted the horse beside Xie Niushan. The horse immediately snuggled in her arms. It was very obedient. Xie Qiao said slowly, “Since the thing has been given away, we can’t ask for it back just like that. You’re a man. If you don’t have integrity, how can you stand your stance?

“Even if it was Ms. Lu who gave the thing away, since she was your wife, this matter will be on you. I think this horse is quite tired, so let it rest,” Xie Qiao took a breath and said slowly.

Xie Niushan looked at Xie Qiao with a complicated expression. Although he felt embarrassed, he still said, “That golden eagle is very valuable, we can’t just give it to the Meng family for free…”

“We can’t just give it to them for free,” Xie Qiao sighed, “They owe us one condition. We just need to get it back.”

He could request for a condition, but he definitely could not take the thing back.

If he really wanted to get it back, it would have to be them who was willing to give it back.

When Xie Niushan heard what she said, he immediately threw away the reins.

“Eldest Daughter, then let’s ask them what they want. The value must be 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silvers. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep well!” Xie Niushan really did not want to do a loss-making business.

Of course, he knew that he could not go and ask for the debt.

Even if Xie Qiao did not come, he would take his men for a walk on the streets at most.

He would specifically pass by the Meng Residence’s door to let the Meng family feel that he was a hooligan and did not want to interact with him. Then, they would return the item.

He was not foolish enough to directly slap the face of the prince’s family.

Xie Niushan immediately dismissed the people.

He brought Xie Qiao to the hall and sat down.

“I heard that the old matriarch of the Meng family is good at matchmaking. Since Father has already chased Ms. Lu away, you need a new madam to take care of the house. There’s also Eldest Brother. He’s already in his twenties, but his marriage has not been settled… Father will send someone to the Meng family to pass on a message and ask the old matriarch for help. That will do it,” Xie Qiao said.

“Marry?!” Xie Niushan had goosebumps when he heard that, “I’ve just gotten rid of a prodigal, and now you want me to marry again?! Right now, the family doesn’t have the money to spare for the betrothal gifts. No, no, no.”

“If you want to marry, you’ll have to see if anyone wants to marry you. The matriarch of Meng family might not even dare to take up the job. After all, you’ve only just divorced Ms. Lu, and your reputation is poor. No matter who they introduce, the matriarch would think that she’s harming the women. Why would she actually agree to it? However, when you bring up this matter, it won’t seem like you’re making things difficult for her. If she doesn’t help, it won’t make sense. I’m afraid… In the end, she’ll have no choice but to send the golden eagle back and avoid you. Who knows, she might even send you apology gifts,” Xie Qiao added.
