It had been many years since they last saw each other. Even if Xie Niushan did not give Xie Xiao some good-quality satin or jewelry, he should not have given her a little pendant to ward off evil spirits. It was just like telling Xie Qiao to restrain her bad luck…
At this moment, Pei Wanyue’s brain was working very well.
“Also, after Xie Qiao entered the house, the courtyard was located in a remote area. He even specifically told us not to go near it, especially to keep the younger siblings away from her and not to approach her so easily… Usually, people want their children to live in harmony with each other. However, Xie Niushan’s attitude is really strange. Xie Pinggang is the same. Since he dotes on his sister, why doesn’t he say anything about it?” Pei Wanyue explained her confusion.
Ms. Lu was getting impatient. “What are you trying to say? Yue’er, you’re already a concubine now, and I don’t expect anything else. Can’t you just live your life obediently? Do you have to keep an eye on Xie Qiao?!”
“I’ve also asked about Wen Lancheng’s character. Many scholars have said that he’s gentle and modest, and that he’s an extremely good person. As long as you treat him sincerely, you’ll be able to live a good life in this life…”
She would not end up like the concubines of those wealthy families.
Of course, her daughter was an honored concubine. Although the husband had the concubinage document, she could not be casually disposed of.
“Wen Lancheng is just a block of wood!” Pei Wanyue said angrily.
Can he be compared to the Crown Prince?!
Ms. Lu was stunned.
This person who insisted on being a concubine was her daughter, right?
It was her who despised Wen Lancheng as well!
“Do you think you are a goddess?! You complain about everything. Get out! I don’t want to see you again!” Ms. Lu was furious.
Sooner or later, she would be angered to death by this daughter!
She really did not have any hope for this daughter. In the future, she might as well take care of her step-son and step-daughter obediently. After all, she had experienced quite many things. In the past, she was a spendthrift. However, it would be great for her to teach the children how to manage the accounts. The children were well-behaved. She did not wish that they would love her in the future, but it would not be as bad as having no one to rely on when she got older!
Ms. Lu pushed her a little, but Pei Wanyue refused to leave.
“Mother, do you think… Xie Qiao is… a jinx?” Pei Wanyue suddenly asked, her eyes shining.
“What?” Ms. Lu stopped what she was doing.
“I said she must be evil. She was sent to a Taoist temple because she killed her mother! On the surface, the Xie family loved her, but in fact, they only treated her well because they thought she was old enough to get married and because she was good-looking!” Pei Wanyue became more and more enthusiastic. “That must be the case. She’s a jinx! Whoever gets close to her will have bad luck!”
Ms. Lu was stunned.
What was wrong with this child? Why was her mind filled with all this nonsense!
Pei Wanyue smiled as she spoke, “Mother, do you think that if the Emperor and Empress knew that she’s a jinx, would they still let her be the Princess Consort? Not only would she not be able to become the Princess Consort, no one else would ever want her! The Xie family sent such an unlucky person to the East Palace. They will be punished!”
“Pei Wanyue!” Ms. Lu quickly shouted, “Keep your voice down! Why do you have to go against that girl!”
She had even gotten the royal family involved. If she was not careful, her head would be severed!
Pei Wanyue did not care. She was only here to confirm the truth.
After saying that, she did not let Ms. Lu’s flustered look get in the way. She left happily.
In order to avoid any more trouble, Pei Wanyue paid someone directly to spread the news!
