Ms. Lu's heart softened when she saw Pei Wanyue cry. She then glanced at Xie Pinghuai, looking troubled.
Xie Pinghuai frowned and said in a casual manner, "Second Sister, do you want me to be beaten?"
Pei Wanyue was stunned. "All I want is to study at the Royal Academy."
"Then think of a way to earn yourself a piece of jade. I wouldn't dare give it to you."
Although he was eager to get rid of the jade, he would not dare to do that, right? If his eldest brother found out that he had given that thing to someone else, he might as well sign his death sentence. He might be bedridden for a year!
Pei Wanyue shivered and said in disbelief, "But you said you don't want to go…"
"I don't, but Eldest Brother wants me to! How about you speak to him? If he approves, I'll give it to you right away. Not only that, but you'll be my sister by blood from then on! I'll thank you forever!" Xie Pinghuai's words were not trustworthy.
