The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 220 - Benefit



Chapter 220: Benefit

Xie Qiao was over the moon as she watched the grandmother and grandson pair. She looked like she was watching an opera show while eating snacks. There was joy even in her eyes.

In contrast, the old lady was so pissed it was difficult for her to even squeeze a smile.

Xie Pinghuai was not close with the old lady after all. He had grown up in the bandit mountain stronghold since young. He had only found out that he had a grandmother when he came to the Imperial City. The old lady would stay with them occasionally, but she would say the same things to him. They hardly talked.

However, she wanted him to take care of his nephews now.

He was not that foolish!

Xie Pinghuai scoffed and pouted. “Whoever gives birth to them, they’ll take care of them. Don’t come to me, not even borrowing money. I owe Eldest Sister a lot of money already!”

Xie Pinghuai thought he was pitiful when he recalled the debt that he owed.

The old lady said while biting the bullet, “I didn’t ask you to raise them. I was just joking—”

“Great, then!” Xie Pinghuai exhaled loudly. “It’s so boring here. Is there anything fun to do around here, cousins? I’m going to die from boredom!”

Xie Pinggang would kick him if this happened in the past. However, it was rare that they got to visit, so he allowed Xie Pinghuai to have fun.

The few grandsons from the Xie family were not surprised when they heard that. They were upset but dared not show it.

They bought Xie Pinghuai out to play right away.

Xie Pinggang did not stop them. Xie Qiao saw that the grandsons from the Xie family only had some common games, like dice and pitch-pot.

Xie Pinghuai did not have much money with him. Xie Qiao and his eldest brother had squeezed him dry.

He could only bet with a couple of copper coins.

Xie Pinghuai had many bad habits. It was impossible to eradicate them within a short period, so they allowed him to gamble.

Since the commotion, the old lady and the rest were obedient now.

Soon, they prayed to their ancestors.

Candles, prayer offerings, and joss papers were ready and burned.

The grave was not here, so they could only pay their respect to the memorial tables.

To Xie Niushan and the rest, it was an ordinary day. However, it was a different story for Xie Qiao. As soon as the incense was burned, she saw a surge of dark energy coming and a ghoul coming over to enjoy the offering.

It should be the Xie family’s ancestor indeed. Not only that, it was still in hell and yet to be reincarnated.

There were just too many mysterious things in the world. Xie Qiao still had much to learn. She had seen many things like this during occasions in the past, so she did not find it surprising.

However, those ancestors usually would not disturb living humans when they came.

Perhaps there were rules and regulations down there.

At the moment, Xie Qiao had a pure and sincere heart as she prayed.

Perhaps she was too sincere as the ghoul hovered around her and breathed on her. It then disappeared.

Xie Qiao was rather dumbstruck.

Regular people would look for good feng shui locations when they picked the grave. A properly located grave would benefit the grandchildren. Looking from another perspective, the people who lived in the grave would be happy too if the feng shui was good. Naturally, they would bless their descendants.

The so-called blessing was mysterious.

Xie Qiao’s understanding was that it was a matching of aura that formed an invisible fate. It was similar for those with good karma.

Why did she feel like the old ancestor seemed to be giving her a protective talisman from the breath earlier?

She had seen that once before, but she had experienced it herself now.

At that moment, she felt her body getting lighter. Her spirit was lifted. It was an amazing feeling.

To put it simply, she was more energized now.

She would look at people’s spirits when she performed divination. When one’s spirit was calm, their heart would be calm. A clear spirit would protect one’s soul. That was important, especially for phrenology.

Therefore, she had totally gained benefits for nothing!

Xie Qiao thought the trip was worth it.
