The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 499 – Keeping Them to Yourself

Chapter 499: Keeping Them to Yourself

The Xie family received some gifts. In order to express her gratitude to her classmates, Xie Qiao invited them over.

They were all young people, so it was very lively.

Xie Pinggang was very tactful. He knew that he had a scary reputation, so he stayed far away.

Xie Qiao’s side was filled with happy events, but it was a different story on Xie Mangshan’s side.

The hundred taels of silver was simply not enough to spend. More than half was spent on renting the courtyard, and the people in this family had not changed from living a luxurious life. They had to eat meat and snacks every day.

Even though the old lady deliberately controlled the expenses of the family, there were just too many things that they needed to spend on.

Moreover, Xie Congshan still had to work, so it was inevitable that he would consume some of the money to eat out with his friends.

As the silver became less and less, he could only tighten his clothes and eat less.

Xie Congshan’s expression became grimmer and grimmer.

After enduring for a few days, he finally went to the Xie Residence.

The steward was very polite and welcomed him in. Xie Congshan looked left and right before finally sitting in the hall. He said to the steward, “I have something important to speak to Pinggang about. Get him to see me. If Xie Qiao is here, she can come as well.”

No matter what, someone who could make a decision must come.

The steward smiled and said, “Third Master, my First Young Master is interrogating prisoners at the criminal division. The First Young Lady is even busier. The academy has many courses and she can’t leave just yet.”

“Well, since both of them are not here, I will say it directly. Go and get the things that my Eldest Brother brought over the other day. I want to bring them home,” Xie Congshan said again.

The steward had already guessed his purpose of visit.

At that moment, he was not surprised at all when he heard that. He even said with a smile, “I… don’t understand what Third Master means…”

“Stop pretending to be a fool! My Eldest Brother is a fool, but I’m not. Hurry up and return the items. Otherwise, I’ll stir a ruckus here!” Xie Congshan clenched his teeth and said.

His son’s wedding date had been set. If he did not have the silver, what would he do if the wedding did not work out?!

The steward smiled.

“Third Master, unless our First Young Master or First Young Lady agrees, as a servant, I don’t have the right to move the things in the house out.”

“Those are my things!” Xie Congshan panicked when he heard that.

“First Young Master said that if those things entered our house, they belong to us. I think Third Master is very clear about this, right?” The steward was still very stubborn.

Xie Congshan was extremely furious.

However, what could he do?! He came here alone. Even if he tried to snatch it, he would not have the ability to do that!

“If you don’t return the things to me, I will go to the administrative office to sue you guys! If Xie Pinggang isn’t afraid of losing his dignity, he can keep the things!” When Xie Congshan thought of his belongings, his heart ached so much that he could not sleep. Recently, he had lost a lot of weight!

“Third Master, what do you want to sue them for? Those things were initially given to you by our family. If First Master returns it, our family will think of his good deeds. However, if you sue us because of this, it won’t make sense. Moreover… to tell you the truth, our First Young Master recently received the Emperor’s compliment. There are many people sending us gifts one after another. Do we have to return them?” The steward said in all seriousness.

Xie Congshan clenched his fists, “What do you mean? You’re not going to return them?! Didn’t my Eldest Brother tell you to keep them for the time being?! You’re keeping them to yourself?!”

Xie Congshan had been holding on to hope for the past few days. Now that he heard the steward say that, he felt the blood in his body had stopped flowing.
