The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 229 - Favor



Chapter 229: Favor

Meng Shuxiang and Feng Shuangshuang stepped out to thank Xie Qiao after Fang Muxue was done speaking.

“Oh, what were you…doing when you came in? Is there something…filthy in here?” Feng Shuangshuang asked carefully.

Her face was pale. If not for the fact her clothes were torn, she would have definitely run now. She would never stay in such a creepy place!

They have made tea before. It was impossible that they failed to control the fire.

Moreover, it was unusual that something wrong happened to the four small stoves at the same time!

“Better safe than sorry. It’s a special day today. I did that just to be safe,” Xie Qiao explained.

Fang Muxue and the rest did not find it surprising. After all, they heard that Xie Qiao grew up in a Taoist temple.

“That’s right. We’re to blame for being out today,” Fang Muxue patted her chest, “What you did was pretty good. I really feel that the room is cleaner now after you spat that mouthful of talisman water. The fire has been put out, and the smoke is gone too. It might’ve really worked.”

Xie Qiao chuckled in a perfunctory manner.

Of course. The talisman that she burnt was difficult to be inscribed. One could only inscribe a few pieces in two hours.

“So unnecessary,” Xia Yayun could not help but scoff at the back.

‘It was the grannies who put out the fire. What does that have to do with Xie Qiao?’

Fang Muxue was upset as soon as she heard that, “Xia Yayun, if not for Xie Qiao, the four of us would’ve become laughing stocks in the Imperial City! Do you want your parents to send you to a monastery and spend the rest of your life there?!”

Xia Yayun was secretly pissed, but she had to admit that Xie Qiao really did help her.

And because of that, she was feeling unwilling.

In reality, Xie Qiao was not mad at Xia Yayun’s behavior.

The reason being there were favors that one had to return.

If she was not here today, the few scholar ghouls would definitely find a sugar-coated excuse to mess with them. Therefore, there was no karma involved with her interfering in this matter.

However, now that she had helped them, as well as showing the picture of god, it would be good enough if they respected the god. However, Xia Yayun was clearly in disdain. It was a special day. The evil energy was strong. She would be in bad luck if she said something wrong.

Just like performing divination, no matter how much the fee was, one had to accept it.

Unless the divination was performed on a person whose life was coming to an end, having a calamity coming, or a person with bad fate.

The calamity was taken away. One should not owe a favor to the god. Although they did not have to repay the favor for this matter, they should definitely not have contempt for it.

Xie Qiao looked directly at Xia Yayun. She seemed to have hurt her hand.

The lifeline on her palm reached her finger joint. It was the fate of wealth. Her palm was clean, while the wound was on her index finger, forming a red mark. The mark stretched to the bottom of her little finger. She would definitely encounter a calamity before the wound was healed.

If it was someone else, Xie Qiao would find a solution to avoid the calamity.

However, she would not show kindness to Xia Yayun.

“I’m sorry, Xie Qiao. We owe you a favor this time. If there’s anything that you need in the future, we’ll do anything we can!” Fang Muxue said to Xie Qiao.

Meng Shuxiang and Feng Shuangshuang nodded at Xie Qiao sincerely.

Xia Yayun said in a sarcastic manner, “Xie Qiao, you can name your request now! You must be happy to be having three favors. I’m sure nobody will bully you at the academy from now on!”

Fang Muxue and the rest were considered the most influential ones at the Orchid Courtyard.

With them helping Xie Qiao, who would dare to stir trouble with Xie Qiao at the Orchid Courtyard?
