You’re So Good-hearted

Half-immortal Xie was one of Mo Lingzi's great disciples. The townspeople from Floating Pavilion Town as well as the nearest surrounding towns respected her very much.

Her master seldom went down from the mountain, and it was hard to get a chance to meet him.

So when people got into trouble, they would seek out the half-immortal.

All of them were acquainted with her.

They only knew that Half-immortal Xie had an indifferent attitude, did not like to laugh, and was cold-tempered. So in front of her, everyone talked about serious matters and never talked nonsense.

She had heard earlier that this Young Lady Xie was born in a lay family, and she had been raised in the Taoist temple because of her poor health.

Since she was so beautiful, she must have come from a good family.

'Who would have ever thought her stepmother was such a shrew?'

The counter attendant looked at Ms. Lu, and his eyes were full of disgust.

Ms. Lu's face was raging hot, and she wanted to open her mouth to ask where did Xie Qiao get the ginseng from.

Before she opened her mouth, Pei Wanyue quickly grabbed Ms. Lu, and said to Xie Qiao, "Sorry, Sister. My mom didn't mean it. She was just worried that you have not been educated and would accidentally break the Xie family's rules. That's all, now that this is a serious loan repayment, my mom will naturally not say anything!"

Water Moon Temple was located in the mountains, so having some good ginseng products was also normal.

Many of the Xie family's servants had accompanied them all along the way. She could not let people think that she and her mom were mistreating Xie Qiao.

"Ahem." Xie Qiao clutched her chest and coughed weakly.

"Are you the sister of Young Lady Xie?! Why are you talking to her like that? I think you look more like an uneducated person!" When the grandma-granddaughter pair standing next to Xie Qiao saw Xie Qiao's fragile state, they immediately became worked up.

This woman had lived for so many years, and she could tell that Pei Wanyue's words did not mean well.

"Young lady, I will help you into the house and get some rest," the little girl also said quickly.

Xie Qiao responded and went straight to the second floor of the inn without looking at Ms. Lu.

Xie Qiao had met this grandma and granddaughter pair a few years ago. Both of them had to escape to this town and sell themselves as slaves. At that time, her health was worse off than now. She needed someone to help her to run errands, so she bought back their freedom.

It was just that the Taoist temple was a very boring place to be. There was nothing much for them to do, so she let them settle down at the foot of the mountain.

People used to call them Granny Wan and Chun Er.

Chun Er treated her like a porcelain doll and helped her into the house.

Xie Qiao just thought that her stepmother and stepsister were a little annoying. She just wanted to find some peace and quiet and was not really sick.

But Granny Wan downstairs did not think so.

She knew that Xie Qiao was a junior, and she was Xie Qiao's servant. So she could not direct her ire at this woman, so her eyes instead bore holes into Pei Wanyue.

While packing up Xie Qiao's things, she grumbled, "Why is there such a vicious person in the world?! Can't you see that my Young Lady is not in good health?! If anything bad happens, even if I have to sacrifice my life for it, I will make you pay!"

Pei Wanyue's eyes turned red instantly.

"Mom… I-I was just trying to be kind." Pei Wanyue was trembling with anger.

Xie Qiao's health was not good, so she hid herself when she wanted to!

Now, it seemed to the outsiders that she was making Xie Qiao so angry until she could not get out of bed!

"Her health was not good? I thought she was fine just now, and she could stay out in the wilderness all night…" Ms. Lu immediately responded against the injustice over her daughter.

But when she said this, not only were the counter attendant and Granny Wan unable to put up with it any longer, the other local townspeople could not tolerate it anymore as well.

"We all know that Ms. Xie's health is not good. How could you not know as her mother?"

"Ms. Xie takes medicine from the drugstore every month. They are all tonics. The doctor has said that she may live only for a few more years. How is that all fake?!"

"A few years ago, Ms. Xie went down the mountain and fainted on the road. That time, she almost stopped breathing! Both of you still think she is acting!?"
