The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Xie Qiao was worried that Xie Pinggang would not be detailed enough in his investigation.

She thought about it and began to make things up. “Eldest Brother, as you know that I’ve learned some things from my Master. I know physiognomy.

“Your worry is written on your face today. The relative solution is on a woman. So please, find the dirt on a woman without holding back. Also…”

Xie Qiao extended her hand, seemingly telling fortune.

She said after a moment, “Also… The woman should smell nice.”

“Smell nice? You can predict that too!? Who are you trying to deceive!?” Xie Pinggang snickered out loud.

Xie Qiao’s cheeks flushed a little bit. “Just investigate! Everything I predicted is accurate!”

“Then tell me, what else besides her smelling nice?” Xie Pinggang was eager to hit her. If it was Xie Pinghuai who dared to spew such nonsense, he would hit him directly. How would he say so much to her?

“She has a mole under her eye,” Xie Qiao said seamlessly.

Xie Pinggang was rendered speechless, and his eyelids twitched. “You sure are daring to speak!”

Xie Qiao felt helpless.

She could predict it if she wanted to. However, one would have to provide a certain “data” for fortune-telling. It was like doing mathematics. If everything was unknown, naturally, the answer would be unknown too.

To put it simply, fortune-telling was an ability in probability and logic. There was no preliminary condition. She could not be making things up out of nothing, right?

“Brother, try investigating from the pointers I gave. I’m your sister. I won’t harm you, will I?” Xie Qiao released two sighs as she spoke. “Look, I’m exhausted from speaking. Why would I put in so much effort if it’s not to help your future?”

She began to cough hard after she was done speaking.

Half of what she did was real, and half was fake.

She had been sick for many years, so she had a deep understanding of how weak a patient could be. As such, she made herself look gravely pitiful.

As expected, Xie Pinggang felt as if his heart was going to beat out of his chest because of her vigorous coughing.

“Sure, I’ll do that tomorrow.” Xie Pinggang frowned. “You’re so weak, and your lethal—”

Xie Pinggang shut his mouth as he spoke to this point. It was bad for a lady to have a reputation of a lethal destiny.

Therefore, ever since Xie Qiao was born, they would only say that her body was weak. They had even turned the truth around and said that their father had a lethal destiny that he might harm her.

He and his father were the only ones who knew about the real situation. They did not even dare to tell Ms. Lu.

Xie Pinggang sighed and proceeded to dig the well.

Soon, he saw there was a shady fellow outside Xie Qiao’s courtyard again.

He captured the person immediately. “Why are you staring at Young Lady’s courtyard!? Tell me, or I’ll sell you!”

Some people had been waiting for Xie Qiao earlier. They must be careful.

Now he even suspected that his sister was too beautiful, so she was being targeted by bad fellows!

Otherwise, why would an old lady be dropping by suspiciously? Before earlier, he had said that everyone in the Xie family was prohibited from coming to Xie Qiao’s courtyard unless she ordered them!

The old lady was carried in directly.

The note that she was holding dropped right away.

Xie Pinggang picked it up and read.

It was written: ‘Half-Immortal Xie, save a life, and we’ll pay 100 taels of gold! Please speak to us outside!’

“100 taels of gold? Who is it?” Xie Pinggang frowned, “Who is this Half-Immortal Xie? Is it you? Where did you get this horrible name? What’ll happen if this spreads? Do you still want to marry a husband?”

Xie Qiao’s eyelids twitched.

“Your family name is Xie too, isn’t it?” she said stubbornly.

Xie Pinggang felt helpless about this sister of his. She was clearly lying without blinking.

Figuring that she was weak, he did not dare to yell at her.

He could only say in a cowardly manner, “It’s not that the reputation is bad. It’s just that I mentioned to you before that we brought you back to the Imperial City to find a husband who matches your destiny. The people in the Imperial City think differently than we do. They’re very strict toward ladies… No matter what, you have to present nothing different from ordinary ladies. By then, we can get someone to have a child with you.”

The man was not important, but if her destiny killed him… there was nothing that they could do.

He only wanted Xie Qiao to bear a child successfully. By then, the Xie family would take care of the child for her.

If she lost the man in the future, she would live a good life for tens of years if she decided to live in some Taoist temple and have the child to pay for her expenses.
