BXBX NOVEL Chapter 367 - Reward
Chapter 367: Reward
The Emperor was silent for a moment.
“The Crown Prince is courteous, virtuous, and filial. He’s well-versed in both civil and military affairs. The position of Crown Prince cannot be taken away from him. As long as I’m here, I will not allow him to be looked down upon and wronged by others. Mother, don’t worry. In the end, this world belongs to Xuan’er,” the Emperor’s tone was slightly cold and did not allow any questions.
Consort Dowager Jiang did not say anything else.
In terms of talent and ability, the Crown Prince was naturally the most outstanding.
“The Zhou family wants to leech off my fourth son. This time, they’re punished and serve as a warning to others. The Crown Prince did a great job. He should have had such a ruthless heart a long time ago,” the Emperor added.
Consort Dowager Jiang was already a little tired, and her eyes and brows were listless.
The Emperor saw that and retreated, allowing the Consort Dowager to have a good rest.
..
Princess Xingmo’s body had been dug up, but the ghoul had suffered serious injuries, so she did not recover her memories. However, subconsciously, she knew that her wish had been fulfilled.
Xie Qiao brought her to the Fortune Pavilion and placed her in front of the immortals, waiting to send her away during the Qing Ming Festival.
However, without Princess Xingmo’s ghoul, Xie Qiao had another female ghoul that she brought out from the Zhou family.
This girl…
Was a little chatty.
“My Mother and I had a business. That place has been abandoned for many years. If you help me fulfill my wish, I’ll give that place to you. Take a look at it!” This ghoul was quite sensible.
However, Xie Qiao thought it was difficult to fulfil this girl’s wish.
“I don’t have any other relatives. Now… I don’t know what to do, but I just can’t bear to leave. I died without experiencing anything in my life, and I died so miserably. I’m really too pitiful,” the ghoul said pitifully.
“So?” Xie Qiao was not anxious.
“I want to stay a little longer. All these years, I’ve been trapped in the Zhou family… from a teenage girl to an old woman…” the ghoul said again.
Xie Qiao looked at the ghoul and felt somewhat helpless.
There was no change in her appearance.
“I… will just stay by your side. I won’t speak, and I won’t touch you. When I’ve seen and experienced enough, I’ll leave,” the ghoul said again.
Xie Qiao thought this ghoul might be a little troublesome. Maybe she wanted to get married or something, but she did not expect that she just wanted to look around.
“Yes, you can stay in the Fortune Pavilion. It’s the New Year now, and many families will put out some offerings. You can eat some too,” Xie Qiao said.
The ghoul was very satisfied.
Then, she reported her family property.
“It’s a newly bought house in the capital. The location isn’t bad either. It’s just over third street on West Street. The deed to the land and the house deed, as well as my Mother’s and my family property, are all hidden in the wall. It’s just that we had only lived there for a few days… You can take all of these things after you avenge me.”
After the ghoul finished speaking, she brought Xie Qiao to take a look.
Of course, Xie Qiao would not reject that offer.
They arrived in a carriage.
However, when they saw the house…
Xie Qiao was shocked.
“How can it be so big?” Xie Qiao asked.
“It’s not big, is it? It’s not as grand as the Zhou Residence,” The ghoul smirked, “When I was alive, Father was in business. The reason why the Zhou family was willing to let us live with them for a few days was because when my Father was alive, he gave his family a lot of money and benefits. After my Father died, my Mother and I failed to manage the family business and slowly declined. But we still have some family assets.”
Xie Qiao pushed open the door and entered.
It was a dilapidated area, and the courtyard was filled with weeds and fallen leaves. It was extremely desolate.
Moreover…
Not only had several parts of the house collapsed, there was actually a place… that seemed to have caught fire.
At that moment, there were even many beggars gathered inside. Xie Qiao was shocked and retreated immediately.
