The servant relayed Xie Qiao's words accordingly. When the family heard that, a glimmer of hope appeared in their grief.
Their son and husband had risked his life to protect these things. What right did they have to not live a determined life?
"Who is your First Young Lady…?" the old lady reacted.
Not many people knew the truth about her son's death.
"My First Young Lady's surname is Xie, and she's the daughter of General Xie Niushan," the servant said.
When the old lady heard that, she suddenly pulled her daughter-in-law down on her knees, "Please go back and thank our benefactor on our behalf."
If it were not for that Young Lady Xie who caused a ruckus yesterday, her son's revenge would not have been possible!
Those bullies would still run amok here!
It was all thanks to Young Lady Xie!
The servant quickly helped her up and left.
At first, he was curious as to why Young Lady Xie had only given them so few things. He did not expect that Young Lady Xie's things were what they needed the most!
Xie Qiao was in the carriage, but she did not stay idle.
There were quite many ghouls in this place.
However, the ghouls did not have any obsessions and just drifted unconsciously. Now, Xie Qiao had also captured them and would send them away during the Qingming Festival next year.
"Master, my grandson has suffered quite a bit. I'm worried that something might happen to him. There's only one seedling in my family now... As long as he can be safe and sound, I'll give my life to you!" In front of Xie Qiao, another stubborn old lady came.
Although this old lady was a ghoul, her body was still emitting a rotten aura. Her body was shriveled and her face was sallow. It was obvious that she was malnourished.
"Your life has long gone," Xie Qiao said faintly.
When the old lady heard that, she became a little listless.
"Is your wish to let him return home alive? It isn't difficult to achieve that. You shouldn't have come looking for me," Xie Qiao said again.
The old lady was startled. That ethereal ghoul seemed to be at a loss.
Previously, the matter of the bullies had angered the entire city. Now that the imperial court was paying close attention to the situation outside the city, the disaster victims would definitely be settled well. Death... that would not happen. Moreover, her grandson was so smart that he would not have to suffer from hunger.
"I just… Hope that my grandson will be able to soar to great heights..." After a long while, the old lady finally spoke.
Xie Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly, "This wish seems a little overboard."
To soar to great heights, one had to rely on oneself. How could one rely on others?
"No, no, no... I'm not asking you to give him great benefits…I-I'm begging you to give him a chance! Let him follow you... I heard that those rich families can study and practice martial arts. My grandson can read too... Give him a chance to improve, whether he can succeed or not will depend on himself!" The old lady ghoul knelt.
She knew her own grandson.
In the past, her family spoiled him, and they sent him to school. However, he was mischievous and did not pay much attention at school.
However, that child was very smart and had a good physique. Regardless of whether he studied or practiced martial arts, as long as he put in the effort, he would definitely succeed!
Now, his grandson was unwilling to accept it.
If he returned to his hometown during spring, he would be a person with no relatives or friends. If he had to think of ways to support himself, how could he have the chance to improve?
"You have the wrong person. Your grandson is now one of the 50 teenagers that Young Lady Xia has chosen. If he asks, Young Lady Xia will arrange a chance for him to score," Xie Qiao said.
He did not need to study at the famous academy. He could go to a small academy in the capital.
With the Xia family's reputation, those small academies could even enrol him directly for free.
