The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny-Chapter 1078 - Gone Crazy From Craving for Gold

Chapter 1078 Gone Crazy From Craving for Gold

In reality, Xie Qiao wanted to give Xie Xi more.

However, thinking that Xie Xi was still young and that the money was not in the family’s public account, she kept it for herself. It was likely that it would not be long before the three prodigal men in the family borrowed all of it.

So, she just needed to give her some pocket money.

Half of the gold would be taken out to fulfill the last wishes of the Baili family members, to buy incense, and then use their names to do some good deeds. The other half would be split and placed in the Fortune Pavilion to maintain the daily expenses.

The remaining quarter was the quota that she could allocate freely. When the time came, she would split another two portions to save up for her younger siblings.

Her eldest brother was not young anymore and should have married, but he had already passed the age. The matter of saving up for the assets was up to him. As his younger sister, she could only give him encouragement and not help him save up.

At this moment, Xie Xi happily agreed.

“Remember to walk around in front of your second brother and make him regret not going,” Xie Qiao did not forget to remind her.

Xie Xi nodded happily.

After she left, Xie Qiao went to split the money.

In the room, there were two boxes. They were the assets that Xie Qiao had saved up for Xie Pinghuai and Xie Xi. The first time, she had put 2,000 taels of silver in each box. Later on, she had put some money in each box. Now, she put around 3,000 taels of silver in each.

It was difficult to put gold in them, so Xie Qiao exchanged the gold for silver notes in her private vault. Then, she put 3,000 taels of silver in each of them.

It was not bad to have such assets at such a young age.

They were only fourteen years old. It would take them two to three years if short, and three to five years if it took longer for them to get married.

The Xie Residence was brightly lit.

Xie Xi carried the small box to Xie Pinghuai.

Her clothes were still dirty. When Xie Pinghuai saw it, he could not help but feel disgusted. Xie Xi opened the box.

Xie Pinghuai’s eyes immediately widened.

“Where did you get this?! So much gold?!” Xie Pinghuai jumped up and wanted to take it.

Fortunately, Xie Xi hugged the box tightly. “Eldest Sister gave it to me.”

“Why? Where’s mine?! Is there any for me?!” Xie Pinghuai’s eyes were widered and his face was full of anticipation.

He was really too poor. He also wanted gold! “No.”

“Why! Am I not her biological brother!?!” Xie Pinghuai could not believe it. “I don’t believe it. You must have half of mine!”

Xie Pinghuai shouted again.

“T-This is what Eldest Sister gave me as a reward. We went out together and dug out the gold. If you didn’t go, there wouldn’t be any for you. Eldest Sister said that since you didn’t listen to her, she won’t give it to you,” Xie Xi said seriously.

Xie Pinghuai felt wronged. “She did not say that she was going to dig up gold. If she did, I would have gone even if I had to go through mountains and rivers!”

After he finished shouting, he remembered what Senior Aunt Mo had said about not showing his emotions…

Immediately, his expression looked as if he was crying or smiled, but he tried his best to pretend to be expressionless. It was extremely strange.

When Xie Xi saw that, she panicked and ran away.

Her second brother had gone crazy from craving for gold.

She ran very fast and went to the main courtyard. Xie Niushan and Xie Pinggang were sitting together and drinking wine. When they saw her, they were also a little puzzled. When they looked again, they saw that Xie Pinghuai was actually chasing after her. His expression looked as if he wanted to kill someone.

Just as Xie Pinghuai was about to rush through the door, Xie Pinggang kicked him.

“Why are you scaring your sister?” Xie Pinggang was even fiercer than Xie Pinghuai.

Xie Pinghuai felt extremely wronged. “Who’s scaring her? She has gold. I just want to borrow some from her…”

“Gold?” In an instant, Xie Niushan and Xie Pinggang’s eyes were fixated on the box in Xie Xi’s hand.

Xie Xi pouted.
