Chapter 778: Confusion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dong Yiyun and her had known each other for a while. She really could not just watch her turn into a vengeful spirit and find it hard to reincarnate in the future.
Zhao Xuanjing met Xie Qiao’s “innocent” eyes and could not help but smile.
Had she forgotten that she was in front of him? Although she was not Sage Mo, she was still Half-immortal Xie…
It could be seen that Xie Pinggang knew nothing about Xie Qiao. That was why Xie Qiao paid so much attention to the image of a lady from a wealthy family.
Xie Pinggang thought for a moment. “Although our family doesn’t have much money, the person who died has just been engaged to me. The Dong family definitely won’t be willing to spend money to hire a master. I’ll bring some money to you tomorrow. You pa.s.s it to Master Mo for me, and ask her to come forward and help the second daughter of the Dong family to reincarnate. Release her soul as soon as possible.”
“Okay.” Xie Qiao’s face was obedient.
“This marriage is set… It’s really a huge loss.” Xie Pinggang could not help but snort, “What Master Mo and the grand preceptor said is true. I’m just too awesome. Therefore, no woman in this world is worthy of me.”
Hearing this, Xie Pinggang felt much more comfortable.
Zhao Xuanjing glanced at him faintly.
Xie Pinggang was the first person who dared to praise himself in front of him.
However, seeing that he was quite pitiful without a wife, he did not throw him a cold blanket.
Xie Pinggang still had a lot of private money. He had planned to leave the money for Xie Qiao and Xie Xi as dowry, but now, he took out 500 taels of silver and sent it to Fortune Pavilion the next day.
He had intended to take out only a hundred taels of silver, but he thought that amount of silver was not enough to hire Master Mo…
After leaving the Fortune Pavilion, Xie Pinggang sent a few people to check the silver ring powder.
The atmosphere in the Dong Residence was heavy.
Master Dong did not know who really killed his daughter, but he had his guesses.
He had thought about it the night before. He had two legitimate daughters and two illegitimate daughters, but the illegitimate daughters were young. There was also a pair of legitimate sons, both of whom were his stepchildren. They were usually studying in the academy, so he valued the upbringing of legitimate sons. Therefore, they did not know much about the matters in the back residence.
After thinking about it, he could only think of the madam, the eldest daughter, or Aunt Dan.
These three people were all very important.
Aunt Dan was the younger sister of the first wife, so he was fond of her.
No matter who the murderer was, it was not good news for the Dong family.
While he was thinking, his first daughter came.
“Father…” Dong Xiyun’s eyes were red and swollen. “Where did this silver ring powder come from? You must find out! It can’t be that granny’s. I don’t believe it!”
Seeing Dong Xiyun’s angry and persistent look, Master Dong felt a little relieved. “Don’t bother about this. What’s so good about finding it out? Your sister has already left. Life goes on…”
“Father! That’s my biological sister! How can I let her die unjustly! Moreover… that Young Lady Xie and I are not on good terms. She must have spew nonsense in front of the Crown Prince. That’s why the Crown Prince and the others think that I’m the murderer. I’m afraid even you almost suspected me, right? If I don’t find it out, I won’t be able to sleep and eat in peace in the future!” Dong Xiyun added.
Master Dong also felt a little guilty.
He had indeed thought too much just now.
“Xi’er, don’t you want to marry the Fourth Prince? If you get to the bottom of this, I’m afraid your marriage will be canceled. What will you do then? Be good and listen to me. Stay home and wait for your marriage. During this period of time… I won’t let anything happen to the family again,” Master Dong added.
“Father? You mean… could it be… Mother…” Dong Xiyun shut up at the right time and then burst into tears, pretending to be holding back.
Master Dong was actually more suspicious of Aunt Dan. After all, all these years, his second daughter had always disliked Aunt Dan and had no respect for her at all.
It was normal for Aunt Dan to have resentment in her heart.
However, seeing his eldest daughter behaving like this, he could not help but doubt his own judgment.
His head was filled with confusion!
