The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny-Chapter 112 - Doomed!
Chapter 112: Doomed!
Xie Pinghuai jumped up and took off all of his clothes before everyone. He then hopped into the pile of clothes and rummaged through them.
His face was pale as if his parents were dead.
“Eldest Brother, my jade has been stolen. I-it’s the truth… It’s been stolen, you have to believe me…” Xie Pinghuai was scared out of his wits.
‘Oh, no. Oh, no!’
Xie Pinggang stood up gloomily while rage filled his face. He walked to Xie Pinghuai and held him up directly. “Are you messing around with me!?”
Xie Pinghuai was speechless.
‘I didn’t! It was really stolen.’
“Wait! Maybe I put it in my room and forgot to bring it…” Xie Pinghuai gulped. Could it be that he had placed it on the table when he had taken a shower last night?
“Sure, I’ll search the room with you. If we can’t find the jade today… Ha, then I will no longer have a brother.” Xie Pinggang smirked. He was so scary that all family members, including Xie Qiao, dared not make a sound.
‘Is this bear… I mean, Eldest Brother going to eat someone?’
However, Xie Qiao was rather surprised. She had never expected Xie Pinghuai to be so gutsy to have lost the thing directly. She thought he would pretend to become a disciple and irritate the teacher so that people would know that it was the teacher who had rejected him!
That was a great idea!
After all, the Xie family had a rather terrible reputation. It made sense that the teacher would be unwilling.
Xie Pinggang dragged Xie Pinghuai back to his courtyard directly.
Xie Niushan and Ms. Lu came as well. Xie Pinghuai was ordered to search for the jade as soon as he entered the room.
Xie Pinghuai plunged himself into the room and looked through the bed and table. However, he did not find the jade after searching for a long time!
He was getting paler and paler and looked like he was going to pass out from fright.
Xie Pinggang blocked the door like a pillar.
“I don’t know. I think it’s really been stolen!” Xie Pinghuai began to complain.
“It was me who gave you that thing myself. I placed it in your hand. Forget it whether you lost it on purpose or it’s been stolen. You’re in trouble since you didn’t treasure it properly.” Xie Pinggang smirked. “Someone tie him up!”
“No! Eldest Brother, I’m innocent!” Xie Pinghuai screamed immediately, “Father, Mother, I’m going to die!”
Xie Niushan looked at Xie Pinggang like a coward. “Err… Gang’er…”
“Since you can’t teach your own child, your son will do it for you. Do you have any opinion on that, Father?” Xie Pinggang’s voice was as loud as a bell.
Xie Niushan’s old face twitched. “Yes, this kid needs to be taught a good lesson! That piece of jade is expensive! Why did he lose it? It would be worth a lot of money if he were to sell it!?”
Xie Pinghuai’s eyelids twitched.
He was doomed.
Ms. Lu had been scared into a daze from the beginning. She did not dare to speak.
Xie Pinghuai looked at Xie Qiao like he was begging. “Eldest Sister! My sister by blood, please save me!”
Xie Qiao nodded, then she walked around the room and got out.
She held seven cricket cages in her embrace.
“Eldest Brother, my Da Xiong loves eating these… Can I bring them with me…?” She was shy, but her eyes were beautiful. Xie Niushan’s heart melted when he saw that.
She was his daughter by blood!
“Take them. I’ll catch a couple more in the bushes later, okay? They’re quite fun,” said Xie Niushan.
What did ‘fish begins to stink at the head’ mean? This would be the definition of the saying.
Xie Qiao chuckled. “Sure, Father. I’m sure you’re very good at catching crickets. Catch more for me. However, I don’t have anything valuable to give you, Father…”
“Alright, your trinkets don’t interest me. It’s just catching crickets. How hard could it be ?” Xie Niushan thought it was not worth mentioning.
There had been crickets everywhere when they had been living on the mountain. It had been so noisy at night that they could not sleep!
How hard could it be to catch them?
Xie Pinggang did not stop Xie Qiao from taking those.
Xie Pinghuai, on the other hand, was dumbstruck.
