Chapter 608: Out of Money
The last ti Xia Qiao was possessed, it was mainly because she was delayed on the road. At that ti, she accidentally exposed herself for Fang Muxue and the others and used up a lot of talismans. However, it was different this ti.
The road was smooth and they had arrived at the academy.
Yang energy was strong in the academy. Xie Qiao felt safe.
Zhao Xuanjing felt much more at ease that everything was going great. He withdrew his spies and got people to investigate the recent events in the imperial court.
The result was within his expectations. It was still the sa officials. They were like jerks refusing to let go after biting at sothing.
He was not angry. He went directly to the palace.
After Qingming Festival, Xie Qiao went back to the Xie residence. She had not been ho for a long ti. When she returned ho and saw the steward’s relaxed look, she knew that nothing major had happened in the family.
Xie Niushan happened to be at ho, but it was the complete opposite. He had a distressed expression.
When he saw Xie Qiao, it was as if he saw his savior.
“Eldest Daughter… You are my biological daughter. Say a few good words to that ugly girl to increase my monthly allowance.” Xie Niushan’s hair was about to go bald.
“Xi’er is also your biological daughter.” Xie Qiao’s eyebrow twitched. “Fifty taels of silver per month is not enough for you to spend? Moreover… didn’t you just win a lot of bets?”
“How did you know that?!” Xie Niushan’s heart jolted.
‘Does this girl have clairvoyance?! How did she know such a small thing?!’
“What is it that I don’t know about Father?” Xie Qiao’s lips curled up.
She and her eldest brother promoted the steward. He knew that her father was the most unreliable person in this family. So no matter what he did, the steward would not hide it from the siblings.
When her father won money, she just turned a blind eye to it.
Xie Niushan sighed, he looked listless. “The amount is nothing. A few days ago, I accompanied a friend to the brothel to drink. I t a young lady who was quite pitiful, so I bought her. Now, I don’t have a single cent left on . I still owe that procuress 200 taels of silver.”
Xie Qiao was shocked.
Looking at Xie Niushan, her eyes were filled with shock. She gritted her teeth and said word by word, “Father, did you go to the brothel to ss around?”
She did not mind Xie Niushan looking for a wife again. As long as it was a legitimate marriage, it would be fine!
According to her mother’s last order, she would be obedient and address her new mother properly. She would definitely not deliberately ruin her father’s marriage!
However, her father probably felt that he had had enough of the good life when he went to the brothel to ss around!
“It’s nothing! I was just there to listen to so music.” Xie Niushan was quite magnanimous. “That lady looks like Ms. Lin. I couldn’t just let her be ruined in that kind of place. Don’t you think so?”
Xie Qiao snorted.
“I’ve spent all my silver. Second Daughter is very protective of the silver. I tried to persuade her, but she refused to give any. It’s part of what I earned after all!” Xie Niushan was also very angry when he thought of this matter.
“So… you bullied my Sister at ho.” Xie Qiao’s tone was indifferent.
Her gaze turned cold when he looked at Xie Niushan.
Xie Niushan’s heart jolted. “That’s not true! That’s my child. Why would I do anything ill to her?!”
“There’s food at ho. There’s also a steward to take care of the interpersonal relationships. Since you’ve spent your monthly allowance, you’ll have to wait until next month. I think Xi’er’s rules are quite good.” Xie Qiao said and thought for a while, then she said, “Where does the young lady you ntioned live? Is she staying at ho?”
“What’s the point of staying at ho? After I bought her, I gave her fifty taels of silver and let her live on her own.” Xie Niushan looked very serious.
Xie Qiao believed that he did not have any disgusting thoughts when he bought that person.
