The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 159: He Wants to Kill Someone

Zhao Xuanjing did not expect to see the piece of jade again so soon.

After Teacher Xiao was done informing about the situation, he got someone to call Xie Qiao and Xie Pinghuai over.

It was alright for Xie Qiao as the Crown Prince was not considered a stranger to her. However, it was a different story for Xie Pinghuai. He had never spoken a word to the Crown Prince. He was behaving well like a good boy now that he had been called out of nowhere.

“Eldest Sister, did they find out that I stirred trouble at the Yuan Residence with my friends?” Xie Pinghuai became a coward suddenly.

It was the Crown Prince. The country would belong to him in the future. Xie Pinghuai was just a little bandit, whereby the Crown Prince could execute him anytime he wanted!

Xie Qiao was rendered speechless.

“The Crown Prince is a human too. He won’t eat you.”

Was he scarier than spirits?

Xie Pinghuai sighed.

Soon, they arrived before the Crown Prince.

Zhao Xuanjing glanced at the siblings. No matter how he looked at them, they did not look like they shared the same father.

Xie Qiao was generous with beautiful eyes and brows. Although Xie Pinghuai looked not too shabby, his charisma… felt like a gangster’s. Even when he behaved, he gave off a bad vibe. One would think that he was a bad person at first glance.

It was said it was inaccurate to perform physiognomy on one’s family members.

Therefore, Xie Qiao did not notice how irritating her brother looked.

“Someone sent this piece of jade over. It’s the one that you won the other day.” Zhao Xuanjing was straightforward.

He had been looking at Xie Qiao.

She did not look as pale as before today. Her cheeks were rosy, and she was pretty. He had heard someone had come over to kowtow to her this morning. Could it be that she was happy that justice had been served?

Zhao Xuanjing smirked without him noticing.

“Jade!?” Xie Pinghuai yelled by instinct. Subsequently, he suppressed his emotions immediately after reading the room. “Eldest Sister, that’s my jade. Who found it?!”

Could they return it to him?

If that happened, he would not have to kneel to his future Master any longer!

“Did someone use the jade already?” asked Xie Qiao.

“That’s right,” Zhao Xuanjing nodded. Xie Qiao was smart, unlike that fool next to her, whose eyes lit up when he saw the jade. He had never thought where the jade came from.

Xie Pinghuai was pissed as soon as Zhao Xuanjing admitted that. “Someone stole my jade! Which b*stard was it? Oh, is it that Chu Jian?! I saw him there when I came from Teacher Xiao’s place earlier. He’s the only one who has the jade for discipleship!”

The news was spread in the academy as soon as he had left Teacher Xiao’s place.

Chu Jian had become Teacher Xiao’s first disciple.

Some had even seized the opportunity to criticize him that he definitely would not obtain the discipleship.

Xie Pinghuai was irritated by that.

“Someone stole it?” Zhao Xuanjing looked at Xie Qiao. It was uncertain if he was smiling. “Young Lady Xie said it was lost by accident.”

“This foolish kid doesn’t know what he’s saying.” Xie Qiao was calm.

Being stolen and losing it were two entirely different concepts.

The former indicated that the Xie family had failed to guard the house. There was a thief at home. Moreover, it was most probably committed by a family member. The Xie family would be utterly embarrassed if the news went out.

The latter could be forgiven. It was something personal that they could solve on their own.

Xie Pinghuai felt extremely wronged.

It had been stolen indeed!

“Where did that Chu Jian get it from…?” Xie Pinghuai finally asked something that made sense.

Zhao Xuanjing was considered lax. He spoke more to be nice to Xie Qiao, recounting what Teacher Xiao had told him without missing anything.

Xie Qiao was not surprised.

She had suspected Pei Wanyue before. However, she had merely suspected her. She did not have any evidence and did not want to accuse anyone of theft, even though that person was irritating.

Xie Pinghuai, on the other hand, was dumbstruck.

“It was Second Sister!?” Xie Pinghuai spoke in shock. He was so pissed that it was driving him crazy. “Is Pei Wanyue out of her mind? She didn’t even tell me that she stole… found my jade. Not only that, but she even gave it to an outsider!”

He wanted to go home… to kill someone!
