The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 722: Don’t Ruin My Reputation

In fact, whether Granny Fang buried the scissors underground or put them in the house, it did not make much of a difference.

However, the Yan family had strict rules. Such a foreign item could have been thrown away. If it were not for this granny’s unnecessary actions, even if the scissors were left behind, they would only be thrown away since it was old and rusty.

Similarly, Madam Yan would not have been harmed to this extent.

Since she had already admitted it, Xie Qiao did not care anymore.

Instead, she started a ceremony and put away all the spirits here.

The other spirits were relatively weak. Many of them did not even have sole consciousness. Even though there were many of them, it was quite an easy task.

“Master! You said that you could avenge me…” The spirit of the pregnant woman suddenly became alert. Before she was put away, she hurriedly said to Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao nodded. “Yes, I will.”

She would do what she promised.

The spirit instantly disappeared.

Yan Ruzhuang looked at Master Mo’s movements. She did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt relaxed as if the sky had cleared after the rain.

“Master?” Yan Ruzhuang looked at her suspiciously. “Is it… done?”

“Yes.” Xie Qiao’s voice was as soft as a feather. “Go and see your mother. Ask the doctor to give her something to calm her nerves. Also…”

Xie Qiao squatted down and rummaged through the bamboo basket. She took out a folded talisman. “Wrap it in a pouch and hang it in front of the bed. You can take it down after seven days.”

Yan Ruzhuang was stunned as she took the item.

She wanted to cheer, but… her mother was still unconscious. She was not sure whether she was cured or not, so she could not be happy just yet.

However, the master said that her mother would be cured…

Yan Ruzhuang was nervous and did not know what to say.

“One tael of silver.” Xie Qiao looked at her and reached out her hand.

Her hand was slender and beautiful. Yan Ruzhuang was stunned when she saw it. She suddenly snapped back to her senses and quickly asked the steward to bring the money.

Naturally, she could not just give the master one tael of silver. She did not know how much was appropriate, and she did not know the situation of King Ning Bei and the Li family. Therefore, she asked the steward to take one hundred taels of silver. Unfortunately, Xie Qiao spoke before she could say anything, “This penniless master agreed that I’d only accept one tael of silver. Young Lady Yan, don’t ruin my reputation.”

Yan Ruzhuang was as obedient as a rabbit and nodded immediately.

Master… was actually so dignified when collecting money.

Imperial Censor Yan was in the room, so at this moment, Xie Qiao successfully received the payment. After receiving a tael of silver, she simply said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

“Master…” Yan Ruzhuang kept feeling empty inside…

“Of course, if there are any issues, you can look for me at Fortune Pavilion. If it’s the same matter, I won’t collect more money, but if it’s something else, the price might be a little more expensive.”

After Xie Qiao said that, she carried the bamboo basket on her back and left in a carefree manner.

There was also a reason why her price was expensive.

The desires of humans were endless.

Take the Li family for example. She helped the Li family solve the problem of the ancestral grave. If it was not for her high price, that Old Master Li might have wanted to invite her to their residence to set up a formation to help the family’s descendants smoothly.

It was not that these formations would not be set up, but Xie Qiao did not want to be too involved with this kind of karma.

Unless necessary, she would not easily set up formations, no matter if it was to harm or help others.

As the saying goes, the secrets of the heavens cannot be revealed, and those who know the secrets of the heavens cannot defy the heavens.

If she were to get involved with too much for no reason, she would not have a good ending.

Therefore, she would only gather good karma obediently. She would try her best to avoid doing those kinds of things that only made money and would not help the spirits!
