Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Xuanjing did not deny Xie Pinggang’s words, he just said, “Minister Xie, don’t say that in front of Senior Sister Mo… It’s too hurtful. As the saying goes, don’t expose one’s shortcomings no matter what. Senior Sister Mo won’t harm you. On account of the fact that she has helped you several times to investigate cases, can you pretend that you didn’t see it?”
Unless this idiot personally saw Xie Qiao and Mo Chusheng switch back and forth, otherwise… he would not tell the truth.
It was better not to let him know.
Not long ago, he had wanted to kill his own sister. It was his own fault for being deceived.
“Your Highness, don’t worry. I understand.” Xie Pinggang heard that and immediately agreed.
Xie Qiao buried her neck and stared at the bronze mirror. Bit by bit, she carefully fixed the piece of skin that she had lost.
But in her heart…
After suppressing her emotions for a while, Xie Qiao dusted off her clothes and walked out while dragging the bamboo basket.
Sure enough, her eldest brother by blood was staring straight at her.
Xie Qiao lowered her head slightly.
“Master, don’t be sad. I’m not the kind of person who judges others by their appearance. No matter how beautiful or ugly you are, I won’t marry you. What are you afraid of?” Xie Pinggang had completely forgotten what he had said just now.
In his opinion, what he said was treating Master Mo as one of his own.
How could he not be frank with his own people?
He was not sarcastic at all. It was all for the good of the master!
Xie Qiao rolled her eyes at him. “What did you say? I don’t understand.”
“Master Mo, stop pretending. I saw it just now. The fake skin on your face had fallen off.” Xie Pinggang laughed and teased, “Master, are you a pirate? What are you trying to do by pretending to be a Taoist master?”
Zhao Xuanjing did not look at him.
This foolish brother-in-law spoke just like that without holding back.
“This penniless master really doesn’t understand!” Xie Qiao said in all seriousness, “This penniless master had some mud on her face. It has been cleaned up. Young Master Xie, you are so young. Are your eyes already blurry?”
“Impossible. I really saw it.” Xie Pinggang said seriously, “I’d feel terrible if you refuse to admit it. We’re friends, it’s okay that we put on a disguise. I’ll make fun of you, but I won’t force you to take off your makeup for me to see… But if you don’t treat me as a friend… do you believe that I’ll get you to catch a fish in the river?”
Xie Pinggang thought he was being very polite.
If it was anyone else, he would threaten to throw the person into the river to feed the fish!
It was not that he was being petty, but he was an official at the criminal division. It was his nature to ask questions, and he had already endured it deliberately.
“Junior Brother, your subordinate doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He should be taken back and beaten up!” Xie Qiao snorted.
“Beat me up 80 times. Do you dare to tell me why you put on a disguise? I won’t force you to remove your makeup, but you should at least let me know what the reason is, right? His Highness respects you as his senior sister, but you often have to be by his side. You have to make this clear, right?” Xie Pinggang said again.
This bear was so infuriating. He was trying to turn the tables on others!
Xie Qiao was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet. She began to make up stories in her head.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, “This penniless master… traveled around and caught countless ghouls in the past. In order to catch ghouls, I even forced a person to move his father’s grave. After that person’s mother found out, she flew into a rage and insisted that I was a demon. She locked me up and set me on fire. “My face… is full of scars.”
After saying that, Xie Qiao blinked and looked at Xie Pinggang sincerely.. “Young Master Xie, do you get it now?”
