Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Xie Pinggang saw the house deed, he was truly dumbfounded.
When he took it over and took a look, he was even more shocked. It was actually a large courtyard in the capital!
Land was extremely valuable. The courtyard was worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver!
The brother and sister looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with helplessness and rage that was slowly rising.
“My dear brother, so you’re making money now? Who gave such a large courtyard? What did you use to exchange for it? Nobody would just give such a good thing to our family for no reason, right?” Xie Qiao asked Xie Pinghuai with a smile.
Her smile was as warm as a spring breeze, which made Xie Pinghuai feel a little more at ease.
“It was also given by a student in the academy. Their family seems to be in the tea business, and they didn’t ask me for anything. They just said that they wanted to be friends… Besides, their family has a lot of money, so they don’t care about this little money.”
Little money?
Hearing this, Xie Qiao suddenly wanted to pry open this stupid brother’s head to see if it was filled with hay.
“You’re right, it’s just a little money…” Xie Qiao said with a faint smile, “But it’s impolite not to reciprocate. You got something from him, didn’t you return the favor?”
“Of course I did. Qi Zhen’s younger sister is very good-looking, and she’s so loyal to me. I’ve already said that I’ll marry her in the future.” When Xie Pinghuai said this, he actually smiled.
Looking at that smile, it was like a spring breeze. Xie Qiao would not believe that he had not come into contact with that young lady before!
Fortunately, she knew that Xie Pinghuai was a fool and was mischievous. Therefore, although she was quite angry at this moment, she could still withstand it.
Xie Pinghuai was 13 years old. He came from a wealthy family. The young lady was only 13 or 14, and she had arranged for maids to learn about his family.
However, in a decent family, this kind of situation was relatively rare.
Parents paid more attention to the health of their children. It was not good to get married too early. Moreover, if one was to be known as promiscuous, it would be terrible for them to marry a young lady from a family of the same status.
Xie Qiao calmed herself and sat down.
Yu Xian looked at Xie Qiao worriedly. “Young Lady Xie, are you alright?”
“I’m angered by this idiot…” Halfway through her sentence, Xie Qiao thought for a moment and said to Xie Pinghuai, “Did you do anything inappropriate with her?”
“No!” Xie Pinghuai raised his head, not feeling guilty at all, “I’m not stupid. If I’ve done that, I won’t feel comfortable marrying her in the future. I’m still young. The procuress said before that I’m still growing. We’ll discuss that in the future!”
Xie Qiao was furious.
“But… We agreed that she would be mine from now on.” Xie Pinghuai was still very determined. “I’m a man of my word!”
Xie Qiao nodded. “After three years, you’ll be able to marry someone. You will marry her. However… now that you’ve learned to accept gifts, I’m afraid that you’ll want to receive even more in the future. Since that’s the case, Eldest Brother, Let’s cancel the marriage the Emperor arranged! I can’t afford to lose my dignity. Isn’t it just disobeying the edict? At worst, the whole family will lose their heads! Good brother, you’d be a good man 18 years later.”
After Xie Qiao said that, she clutched her chest, her body went limp, and she fainted.
Yu Xian caught her, but she was a little confused.
What happened to this young lady?
Was she not fine just now?
“Eldest Sister!” Xie Pinghuai was shocked, and he quickly went over. “What happened to Eldest Sister?!”
Xie Pinggang tried to touch Xie Qiao’s nose, then, he said with a serious face, “Your Eldest Sister’s health is not good. Her days are numbered . Don’t you see that our father and I are always obedient to her, and we wouldn’t dare to make her angry? Now…
“All of our efforts have been in vain. Your Eldest Sister…. is barely breathing. I’m afraid that she’s angered to death by you!”
