110: Let’s Just Accept Our Fate!

Let’s Just Accept Our Fate!

Ms. Lu's heart softened when she saw Pei Wanyue cry. She then glanced at Xie Pinghuai, looking troubled.0

Xie Pinghuai frowned and said in a casual manner, "Second Sister, do you want me to be beaten?" 

Pei Wanyue was stunned. "All I want is to study at the Royal Academy."

"Then think of a way to earn yourself a piece of jade. I wouldn't dare give it to you."

Although he was eager to get rid of the jade, he would not dare to do that, right? If his eldest brother found out that he had given that thing to someone else, he might as well sign his death sentence. He might be bedridden for a year!

Pei Wanyue shivered and said in disbelief, "But you said you don't want to go…"

"I don't, but Eldest Brother wants me to! How about you speak to him? If he approves, I'll give it to you right away. Not only that, but you'll be my sister by blood from then on! I'll thank you forever!" Xie Pinghuai's words were not trustworthy.

Pei Wanyue fell into silence.

Xie Pinggang… seemed to really hate her. Ever since she had entered the Xie family, he had not spoken much to her.

"You know Eldest Brother hates me…" Pei Wanyue felt utterly wronged.

"No. You don't know this, Second Sister. Eldest Brother hates me the most. I can't give it to anyone else since I have it now. Moreover, it was Eldest Sister who gave it to me. If I really give it to you, Eldest Brother will kill me if Eldest Sister is upset. Let's just accept our fate!" Xie Pinghuai thought he was rather cowardly after saying that.

What should he do?

This troubling white jade!

"Yue'er, your Eldest Brother's temper… is indeed terrifying." Ms. Lu dared not challenge her.

That fellow had beaten up a teacher at the Royal Academy in the past. He was now infamous because of that fight!

Pei Wanyue clenched her fists as she felt the handkerchief tight in her hand.

It was just an excuse.

They said she would be the Xie family's daughter by blood from now on, but there were differences between siblings.

She would understand if they had no money. However, now there was a perfect opportunity before them, but they refused to give it to her.

Xie Pinghuai scratched his head. "Second Sister, you're my sister by blood. So stop being angry with me. If I get something that you want in the future, I'll definitely give it to you!"

He changed the subject as soon as he was done speaking. "Oh, Mother, I'm running out of money again."

"Didn't I just give you five taels of silver yesterday!?" Ms. Lu frowned.

"I spent them all on buying a few crickets." Xie Pinghuai smirked.

Ms. Lu was helpless, "Sure, I'll give you the money from the accountant later. But not too much. Otherwise, your Eldest Brother will say something if he sees the accounts."

"Don't worry, I'll just take some!" Xie Pinghuai was so happy that he jumped almost a meter high.

He ran out happily.

Get himself a master? Hmph! He did not want that!

Even if he wanted that, there must be a master who was willing to take him in, right?

"Mother, so this is the son whom you said loves you?" Pei Wanyue scoffed. "He's a smartypants and sly. He's sweet with his words, but he does all that just to get silver from you, no?"

"Sigh... My life isn't all good either. If I could give birth to a son, why would I feel so wronged? There are only two young masters at home. You've witnessed how hot-tempered that Pinggang is. What else can I do? I can only butter up the younger one!" Ms. Lu rubbed between her brows.

"Fortunately, although Pinghuai is mischievous, he still respects me. He's better than that Xie Qiao, right?" Ms. Lu comforted herself.

Pei Wanyue looked at Ms. Lu and thought her mother was lousy.

How would someone else's child love her with all their might?

At that moment, Xie Qiao returned to her courtyard.

Chun Er was speaking next to her.

"I don't think Second Young Master wants a master. Will he hate you since you gave him the piece of jade?" asked Chun Er.
