Chapter 1074 Shady Source
The officers and guards’ faces were stiff as they stared at the gold in a daze. They could not take their eyes off it. Not to mention them, even Xie Qiao almost lost her composure as a master when she saw these things for the first time!
“You went out to get rich?!” Meng Jifang felt that it was a little ridiculous. Where did this Young Lady Xie get so much money?!

“Yes, is there a problem?” Xie Qiao did not feel guilty at all and answered frankly.
Meng Jifang’s expression was a little broken. He did not know what he was feeling at the moment.
The young lady of the Xie family, the future Princess Consort, went out with her younger sister on a snowy day. She did not even bring a maid servant with her. She only had a coachman with her. She went out to get a carriage full of money, and she still thought there was no problem with that?
He kept feeling that the money was from a shady source…
“Young Lady Xie, this wealth…”
Before Meng Jifang could finish his words, Xie Qiao asked, “Where did your family’s money come from? Did I ask?”
Meng Jifang’s face turned green.
Of course, he could not ask.
“As the saying goes, one’s wealth shouldn’t be revealed. Initially, my gold was safe. Now, Young Master Meng insisted on opening your mouth to examine it, causing so many people to see the things in the carriage. My family is still quite a distance away from the city gate. I’ll have to trouble everyone to send me off and ensure that my wealth is safe,” Xie Qiao said slowly.
“Why?!” The boys behind Meng Jifang subconsciously refused.
Meng Jifang did not have the time to stop her.
“Do you know what you will face if we sisters are robbed?” Xie Qiao asked faintly.
Of course, Meng Jifang understood.
Although Xie Qiao’s words were not very pleasant to hear, it was not considered bullying.

However, if the sisters had carried so much money and were robbed, their lives might be threatened. Not long before the Crown Prince’s wedding, something happened to the bride. The Meng family would definitely be implicated.
The others thought about it carefully and came to a realization.
They were all somewhat helpless and could only admit defeat.
“Since that’s the case, we’ll escort the two of you home.” Meng Jifang looked at Xie Qiao’s proud appearance and felt a little depressed.
Xie Qiao was always more powerful than he had thought. He lost his dignity several times when he met her.
With such a strong personality, what good would he get if he met the Crown Prince?
Meng Jifang did not feel good.
The families behind these young masters were mostly on the Fourth Prince’s side.
It would be strange if they felt happy following Xie Qiao, the future Princess Consort, as bodyguards.
Xie Qiao was very calm. Not far from the city gate, there was a place that rented carriages. She rented another carriage, and Meng Jifang and the others each chose a horse to escort them from left and right.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Xie Residence, the guards at the gate panicked when they saw so many people. When they saw their young ladies getting off the carriage, they became even more panicked. They felt as if the young ladies had been coerced by the bad guys…
At this moment, Xie Pinggang had also returned from the criminal division.
When he saw this scene, he immediately became angry. He quickly came over with a fierce expression and shouted at Meng Jifang and the others, “What are you all doing?! Why are you following my sister?!”
His voice was violent and loud.
When he was not angry, he was already scary enough. Now that he was angry, he was like a monster on fire. With a glare, he scared a few of the young masters so much that their footsteps became stiff and they almost fainted out of fear.
Even Meng Jifang could not maintain his stance when facing a fierce beast like Xie Pinggang
