Xie Qiao looked at her teacher obediently. After thinking for a while, she sat up straight and said seriously, “To tell you the truth, I sometimes feel that… I must’ve already given myself away. The Crown Prince is suspicious.”
Li Shiyan brought some snacks over. Xie Qiao ate a few and said slowly, “But since he didn’t say anything, I’ll pretend that he doesn’t know. How could a criminal confess himself?”
In short, it was impossible for her to say that she was two people.
Now, she could still flaunt her power as the senior sister. If they really knew her age, they would only treat her as a junior sister!
Her pride would not be able to take it!
Li Shiyan’s beard curled up. “You little girl, how can you say that about yourself?”
“Your disciples are all very proud and hard to please. Now that I’m the senior sister, they wouldn’t dare to offend me. Even if they are curious about me, they wouldn’t dare to test me casually. But if they know that I’m so young… will my days be peaceful?” Xie Qiao sighed.
Being the eldest senior sister… was great. Unfortunately, her junior brothers were all older than her!
“What you said makes sense. Those brats… are indeed restless.” The old teacher stroked his beard, feeling helpless but also somewhat proud.
After all, they were his disciples, and they were unconvinced by others.
The most important reason why Xie Qiao hid her identity was not because she was afraid that her junior brothers would stir trouble with her, but because many people knew about her identity. That was not a secret. Then… others would know sooner.
She was now the future Princess Consort. If people knew that she was Mo Chusheng, how could she be out and make money in the future…? Pfft! No, she wanted to do good deeds to accumulate good karma.
Li Shiyan doted on his eldest disciple. Naturally, whatever Xie Qiao said made sense to him.
“I bought many things for you when I was traveling. I’ll get someone to move them over for you later,” Li Shiyan added.
Xie Qiao did not refuse. “Thank you, Teacher. I’ve also prepared a gift for you. You will like it!”
Li Shiyan looked forward to it.
However, Xie Qiao and the Crown Prince had not settled in yet, so he was not in a hurry.
After exchanging some pleasantries, he let her go.
On the other side, Jiang Jinlu had already taken Xiao Yurong and the others to meet the head of the Meng family.
The head of the Meng family that the teacher was staying with was called Meng Xiande. He was not young and was about 60 years old. There were many members in the Meng family. Meng Xiande had a high status in the family. When the people here looked at him, they had to call him “Old Master Shisan” politely.
“Old Master Shisan” had many daughters, but he only gave birth to a son. This son only gave birth to one grandchild for him.
His family was big, but he only had a grandchild.
Old Master Li had already mentioned to Meng Xiande that his disciples were coming over, so he personally met them at this moment.
Zhao Xuanjing’s identity could not be revealed, Jiang Jinlu only said, “These two are Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Xiao. In addition, my senior sister is also here. It’s just that she has other matters to attend to, so it’s not appropriate for her to come over to meet Old Master Meng. Please forgive her, Old Master Meng.”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.” Meng Xiande looked as if he was overwhelmed by the favor, “All of you are dragons and phoenixes among men. You guys came from so far away. I really don’t know what to say… This guest room was prepared a few days ago. If you don’t mind, you can stay in the residence. It’s easier to take care of each other….”
