‘Embarrass myself?’Xie Qiao raised her brows.
It was her first time hearing such a comment since she was born.
She lifted her head to look at Xie Pinggang. This dummy thought he was being caring and revealed a big brother’s warm smile. It was almost hurting Xie Qiao’s eyes.
“Eldest brother, don’t smile at me.” Xie Qiao frowned. “I’m eating. I don’t want to throw up.”
Xie Pinggang was rendered speechless, and his eyelids twitched. He lifted his arm and almost hit Xie Qiao.
This girl was as skinny as a bamboo stick. She was not as solid as Xie Pinghuai, so he could not bring himself to hit her, “Did you eat at the temple? You’re only left with skin on your cheeks. If this was the year of famine, nobody would bother to eat people like you if you ended up with the rebels. It’d be a waste of their effort to do that!”
Xie Qiao chuckled. That chuckle was rather creepy.
Xie Qiao changed the subject and asked, “Oh yeah, apart from many wealthy people, what else is special about the Royal Academy?”
If there was nothing special, she would go for something else.
“There are many things.” Xie Pinghuai took the initiative to speak. “Although the other two academies have many talented people, they can’t compare with the great support the Royal Academy receives. They collect many books, while the students from the other two academies always end up borrowing books from them. However, one must put some effort in order to get those books.”
Of course, it was not that the other two academies were lacking in books. It was just that the Royal Academy had more books than a bull’s hair.
When they had founded the academy, it was said that they had moved all of the books from the imperial storeroom.
Xie Qiao’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She said while smiling, “Which classes are the both of you in? How are you guys doing?”
The both of them froze when they heard. Subsequently, one of them lowered his head while the other was in a daze.
“Them? What do you expect from the two knuckleheads?” Xie Pinggang snorted. “Pinghuai broke someone’s leg last month. It was me who went over to compensate them with silver.”
Instead of compensation, it was more of a threat.
“And this little thing,” he then pointed at Xie Xi, “She’s slow. Forget that she can’t remember the things that the teachers taught since it’s not exactly useful. She accidentally put the silver pieces in the teacher’s purse. She came home and cried the entire day. It was me who asked them back for her.”
Xie Qiao was rendered speechless, and her eyelids twitched.
No, they could not be her young brother and sister.
“Why did you put them in someone else’s purse?” Xie Qiao stared at her.
Xie Xi’s rather slow eyes looked pissed when that was mentioned, “Nobody dared to touch the teacher’s purse. I placed them in the purse temporarily, but someone else took them.”
“Temporarily? Hah!” Xie Pinggang snickered from the anger.
“Sister, if you’ve nothing better to do, get a small shovel and dig around the house. You might find a silver blotch,” Xie Pinggang said.
Xie Qiao wanted to laugh. She thought this girl was cute.
So she liked hiding money?!
That was a good habit!
However, it was a little silly to have forgotten the place she had hidden the money.
Xie Xi held her head low. She looked panicky.
“Hide it in my courtyard next time. I dare to guarantee that I’ll definitely find it for you as long as it’s in my courtyard,” Xie Qiao said while smiling.
Apart from calculation, she had great observation skills mainly. Nothing—be it flowers, grass, or trees—could escape her eyes even when the change was the slightest.
Xie Xi’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “Really?”
“Of course. Why don’t you try hiding it next time? I won’t take your silver away,” Xie Qiao said.
“Alright!” Xie Xi looked excited.
If a stare could kill, Pei Wanyue’s jealous eyes would have long killed the dish before her.
