Chapter 709: Scourge

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Muxue truly admired Xie Qiao’s talent and had great trust in her.

It was a pity that Qin Liu was not around. Otherwise, she would have clapped and cheered when she saw Dong Xiyun suffer a setback.

“Sister Xie, I’ve been meaning to ask you...” Fang Muxue suddenly said suspiciously as she walked, “You’re not even as old as me. How do you... know so much? Don’t tell me you have a very powerful teacher who secretly instills wisdom into you?”

Fang Muxue had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

The longer she spent with Xie Qiao, the more she thought this person was unfathomable.

Xie Qiao had indeed not come into contact with many of those classics and books, but every time she read them, not only did she memorize faster than they did, she could also figure out the meaning behind them. If there were things that she did not understand, she would ask the teacher a few questions, then she would be able to understand them.

As for the other things, Xie Qiao knew even more!

It was really unknown how this person’s small head could contain knowledges of all sorts.

“It’s just that my health is lacking, so I’ve loved reading since I was young. I don’t have much ability. Teacher... there’s indeed one, but he’s been traveling far and wide all year round. I haven’t seen him for a long time,” Xie Qiao said humbly.

“If I had your ability, I would’ve long thought of a way to let everyone in the world know about it,” Fang Muxue said with a smile.

Then, they got into their palanquins and headed for the palace gate.

Xie Qiao and Xie Xi were in the same palanquin. When she looked at her younger sister’s demeanor, she realized that her bad luck had indeed lessened a little, but... it was still there.

“Eldest Sister, that hairy spider was trampled to death,” Xie Xi suddenly said as the palanquin departed.

Xie Qiao was stunned. “Yeah?”

“It’s quite…pretty,” Xie Xi added randomly.

Xie Qiao’s pupils contracted, and she was a little shocked. “What’s pretty? The spider?”

Xie Xi nodded.

That spider was a little red, and there was hair on its legs. Its eyes were also quite lively, and it looked very special. Moreover, compared to humans, it was so small, yet it could make everyone’s expressions change. It was really amazing.

Xie Qiao licked her lips and suddenly realized that there was no normal person in her family.

“I saw that you were really scared just now,” Xie Qiao muttered.

Xie Xi was quiet in the presence of Xie Qiao, so she answered honestly, “Sister Yan suddenly pushed me and scared me. Before I could react, that spider... died.”

There was even a look of pity in her eyes.

Xie Qiao chuckled.

Her father was a boorish man, her elder brother was a silly bear, and her young brother was a monkey. She had thought that she had a normal sister, but she did not expect that... she was her father’s daughter, and she was also a brave little girl.

Xie Qiao silently glanced at Xie Xi. She could not imagine how this sister would look like when she grew up.

She was much more lively and talkative than before. She heard that when she was at the Lin Residence, she could climb trees with Xie Pinghuai and her cousin to look for eggs.

Her mentality would change little by little. In a few more years, she might not even be able to see her current dazed look.

When that time came…

There would not be another female scourge in the capital, right?

Thinking about it, it was a little... exciting.

“You really haven’t come into contact with anything strange recently, right?” Xie Qiao looked at her mischievous behavior and could not help but confirm it again.

“No.” Xie Xi shook her head.

Xie Qiao still could not help but worry. She was afraid that if she asked too many questions, the child would develop resistance.

When they returned home, Xie Qiao let Xie Xi think about what gift she wanted to send to the Yan family to express her gratitude.

Although Imperial Censor Yan did not get along with the Xie family, Xie Qiao had to admit that he was much more reliable than her father.
