Chapter 302 - The Apology Of A Great Enemy
Xie Qiao wanted her eldest brother to come forward. With his fierceness, this matter would definitely blow up. If her father came forward to make a report, the imperial court would definitely take care of it.
Her father was a bandit official. Usually, it was very difficult for him to give constructive suggestions. It was rare for him to do good deeds, and he even did it so that everyone knew about it. The effect would definitely be big!
However, she did not expect the Crown Prince to be so kind.
Xie Qiao lowered her head, rubbed her hands, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Xie Pinghuai acted out the scene and cried half-truthfully. He thought that his eldest brother would despise him for being useless, but he did not expect his eldest brother to pat his shoulder before he left. That gaze…
Was especially gentle!
Of course, it was still very scary. However, compared to his usual fierce appearance, his eldest brother"s att.i.tude earlier made him feel like it was a spring breeze!
At that moment, Xie Pinghuai felt like he was in a trance. When he walked, he felt like he was floating, as if he was stepping on clouds of cotton.
Being escorted by the Crown Prince"s guards all the way home, Xie Pinghuai thought it was not very realistic.
However, what shocked him even more had yet to come.
Zhao Xuanjing brought Xie Pinggang and a group of guards outside and directly called the disaster victims over for investigation.
The result was naturally the same as what Xie Qiao had said.
The official in charge of taking care of the disaster victims outside the city was panicking that he broke out in cold sweat.
If other officials had come to investigate, he might have been able to come up with some excuse, but this was the Crown Prince!
The official in charge of the matters outside the city actually knew what was going on. However, in his opinion, as long as the number of deaths of the disaster victims was within a certain range, it would not have any effect.
As for whether the victims" belongings would be robbed?
That was not important!
After all, those things were given by others and did not belong to the victims!
However, he never expected that those bullies would be so foolish that they could not even see through the rich young master!
They even almost killed someone!
That was fine, but this matter... it was as if it had grown wings. In less than four hours, it had spread to the entire city!
In the afternoon, several groups of people came to give gifts to the Xie family.
There was no madam in the family, while Xie Niushan and Xie Pinggang were not around either. The steward could only invite them in, while Xie Pinghuai and Xie Qiao came out to deal with it.
"My Young Master said that he heard the rumors and thought that Second Young Master Xie was... uh... crude. We didn"t expect him to be so kind and considerate. A few days ago, my Young Master had some conflicts with Second Young Master Xie, so he specially asked me to come here today to apologize. It"s just a small gift. I hope that Second Young Master Xie won"t hold it against my Young Master."
Xie Pinghuai was a little fl.u.s.tered as he looked at that... small gift.
The gift giver... was Chu Jian, who had obtained his white jade earlier and had taken Teacher Xiao as his master.
He especially hated Chu Jian because that brat had successfully taken Teacher Xiao as his master. Although he did not usually say anything evil to him, his eyes were always filled with disdain when he looked at him!
It was as if he was superior to others!
Before the holidays, he really could not hold it in any longer and argued with him. He almost got into a fight with Chu Jian. Later, Teacher Xiao came and punished him, making him copy books…
It could be said that Chu Jian was his "great enemy"!
However, today, his great enemy sent someone to give him a small gift!
"Is Chu Jian crazy? He didn"t like me!" Xie Pinghuai snorted. He must be plotting against him!
Perhaps now that he accepted the gift, he would secretly tell Teacher Xiao that he was greedy!
That was right, it must be so!
When the servant who gave the gift heard that, he was stunned for a moment, then, he hurriedly explained, "Second Young Master Xie, don"t misunderstand. My Young Master... is a little aloof by nature, but he doesn"t have an evil heart. He also mentioned you at home. He said that you"re simple-minded, but you"re a little too reckless and easy to take the wrong path. That"s why his att.i.tude toward you was a little off. But after this incident, our Young Master feels guilty and thinks that he misunderstood you!"
