Fire was burning in Xie Pinghuaiâs eyes. He was livid!
He knew that a family member had definitely stolen his jade. However, no matter how he pondered over it, he could only think of those suspicious servants!
He had never really thought that it was Pei Wanyue!
The person that he called Second Sister had shamelessly stolen her brotherâs thing!? She had said nothing and watched him being beaten!?
Xie Pinghuai was not only furious. He felt disappointed!
Now that he was furious, even a fool could tell that the jade that the Xie family had lost was extraordinary. Xie Qiao held her head down slightly while scratching her nose. She pretended not to see her foolish brother who was next to her.
Seeing that Xie Pinghuai was angry, Zhao Xuanjing figured that chaos would soon ensue at the Xie Residence.
Unfortunately, he would not be able to watch. He felt rather disappointed.
Zhao Xuanjing thought he should not get Xie Pinghuai to stay upon seeing how furious he was. He said while smiling, âYouâre young and mad. Itâd be bad if you hurt yourself from your fury. Thereâs nothing more from my side. Please return, Second Young Master Xie.â
Xie Pinghuai nodded immediately.
That was right. He did not want to stay. He wanted to go homeâ¦
He wanted to get the steward to get someone from the Gulan Academy!
Xie Qiao doubtfully glanced at Zhao Xuanjing. She suspected that the Crown Prince had said that as he had heard about Xie Pinghuai visiting the brothel. However, Xie Pinghuai failed to understand the underlying meaning!
That fool!
Xie Pinghuai was direct, whereby he turned around and took two steps out. He turned his head and walked over, immediately realizing that Xie Qiao was still standing there. He dragged her sleeve and walked away.
The corner of Zhao Xuanjingâs lips twitched.
He wanted to talk to Half-Immortal Xie about his courtyardâ¦
It did not take Xie Pinghuai long to drag Xie Qiao out of the academy.
âEldest Sister, you must fight for me! Iâve been wronged big time. Being beaten up by Eldest Brother aside, I embarrassed myself by kneeling at Teacher Xiaoâs courtyard. He even punished me to a copy a book!â
âI advise you not to put the blame on someone else entirely,â Xie Qiao said while smiling.
âBut itâs Pei Wanyueâs fault, is it not!?â Xie Pinghuai was furious.
âThatâs the truth, but Iâd advise you to behave before Eldest Brother, or youâll be hit again.â Xie Qiao thought this kid was too foolish, to which she added, âYou lost it in your courtyard, right? Youâre a man, and sheâs a lady. The jade was still around before we went to sleep, and it was gone in the morning. Firstly, you shouldnât tell that to outsiders. Secondly, youâre already mature, but you canât even guard your own courtyard. You lowered your guard when you slept, allowing a helpless young lady to steal your thingâ¦â
Xie Pinghuai felt a chill when he listened until this point.
That was rightâ¦
Why had he not thought of that!?
His eldest brother was unreasonable. Even if he thought Pei Wanyue was at fault, he would blame Xie Pinghuai as well. After all⦠his eldest brother was especially fierce when it came to him!
Xie Pinghuai suddenly thought his eldest sister knew too much. He looked at Xie Qiao immediately as if he was begging for help. âEldest Sister, what do I do? Eldest Brother wonât hit me if I admit my fault, right?â
âIâm not a worm in Eldest Brotherâs tummy. Youâll have to think about how to apologize to him. Iâve brought you the dishes. Do you want me to feed you as well?â Xie Qiao rolled her eyes at him.
âHe doesnât know how to use his brain? Then why would he need it?â
Xie Pinghuai made a grunting noise.
That was how he had been living his life. He had never used his brainâ¦
Xie Pinghuai got home immediately and yelled to get Yuan Rong over as soon as he arrived. âGo to Gulan Academy and get Pei Wanyue home for me!â
