Chapter 1041 - Strange Words

Xiao Yurong looked at Xie Pinghuai in surprise. He did not expect this kid to listen to his senior sister so much...

Xie Qiao was still indifferent. “If I ever see you disrespecting your teacher again, I will tell your eldest brother and throw you into the lake to cool your brain.”

Xie Pinghuai did not dare to talk back. He glanced at Xie Qiao and mumbled, “Got it...”

“Very well, be sensible. It’s not easy for your sister to help you get through the backdoor.” Xie Qiao nodded.

Xie Pinghuai frowned and scratched his head. “Senior Aunty, why do I feel... that you look so much like my sister?”

Xie Qiao was shocked.

She stared at him.

In broad daylight... under the watchful eyes of everyone, what nonsense was this brat talking about?!

“Look, you’re just like my sister. You’d mention Xie Pinggang to threaten me. You guys are the same,” Xie Pinghuai said honestly, “And the way you looked at me just now is exactly the same as when my sister glared at me! If you don’t believe me, I’ll bring a bronze mirror over for you to take a look. Your eyes really look similar as hers... I suspect that my stepmother didn’t give birth to my sister, but it was you!”

Xie Qiao choked.

She kept coughing and felt a little guilty.

Xiao Yurong carefully recalled the appearance of Young Lady Xie and then looked at his eldest senior sister in front of him seriously. “They look somewhat similar...”

Sang You and Jiang Jinlu had never met Xie Qiao, but they knew that this Young Lady Xie was the Crown Prince’s future wife.

Therefore, they could not help but look at the Crown Prince.

“Senior Aunty, are you my stepmother’s sister?” Xie Pinghuai asked again.

Xie Qiao’s face was a little red. Even with makeup, one could see that something was wrong with her expression.

“Your Highness, does Young Lady Xie and eldest senior sister really look that similar?” Sang You was quite curious. “I’ve been back for so long, but I’ve heard people say that Young Lady Xie looks devastatingly beautiful...”

Eldest senior sister, on the other hand, looked... a little more ordinary.

“Yes! They really look alike! She’s just a little older than my sister,” Xie Pinghuai insisted.

Xie Qiao wanted to knock him out with a hammer and make him stop talking.

Li Shiyan looked at Xie Qiao with a smile. He found that Xie Qiao’s eyes were conflicted and angry. He felt that his eldest disciple was really delightful.

“There are similarities between people. Xie Qiao, that child, was raised by me. The child who was raised looks like the one who raised her. It’s normal,” Xie Qiao said seriously.

Jiang Jinlu could not help but laugh when he heard that. “It’s indeed normal if there are similarities in their behavior. However, it’s really too coincidental that they look the same. I heard that Senior Sister has always been very concerned about the Xie family. Even Second Young Master Xie thinks that Senior Sister looks like her, I’m afraid that even if you guys are not related, your ancestors might be related.”

Xie Qiao chuckled. “Who can explain the matters of one’s ancestors? It’s not good to invite the old ancestor to come up and explain himself, right?”

Jiang Jinlu felt that his eldest senior sister’s expression was a little strange.

Logically speaking, even if she looked somewhat similar to a junior, she should not care so much.

At this moment, Teacher Xiao also had some doubts in his heart.

He was closer to the Crown Prince, so he knew that the Crown Prince was also very affectionate toward their eldest senior sister, and also toward Young Lady Xie. In the capital, there were many rumors about the Crown Prince and their eldest senior sister. They were all extremely excessive, but he never saw the three of them have any rebuttal or displeasure...

And teacher...

The gifts prepared for their eldest senior sister were very strange.

Some of them were brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, but there were also some that were head accessories. Furthermore, they were extremely valuable, pretty, and young-looking. Earlier... his teacher had even said something, but thinking about it, it sounded even more strange now...
