The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 106: Between public and private settlement, I chose to rob

Mrs. Peng and Xie Donghai did not want to compensate Xie Lan a penny. The couple bet that the old lady and Xie Changting would not let Xie Lan report to the police for the sake of the Xie family's reputation.

Xie Lan was not annoyed either.

She gave the second room two choices, and since they both refused to choose, she decided to help them.

Between settling the matter publicly and privately, Xie Lan chose to rob the man openly.

Seeing Xie Lan leave with the hammer without saying a word, Peng and Xie Donghai's eyes flashed with pride. Even if they didn't pay the money, that damn girl couldn't do anything to them.

However, before the two of them could enjoy themselves for half a cup of tea, a maid came running into Mingsong Hall, "Second Master, Second Madam, it's bad, the eldest daughter is here to visit."

Mrs. Peng's face changed. "What did you say? Where did the eldest girl go?"

The old woman got up quickly, not caring about who was superior or inferior. She slapped her thigh anxiously and said, "Ouch, are you hard of hearing? I said the eldest daughter went to the second room, she smashed the storehouse and is looting valuables. If you don't go back to stop her, there will be nothing left."

"What? That damn girl smashed my warehouse? How dare she!"

The old woman looked at Peng as if she was a fool. The eldest lady has already taken action, and what are you still talking about? Do you dare?

Xie Donghai stood up with a gloomy face and ran out of Mingsong Hall in three or two steps.

Mrs. Peng was anxious and angry, but her feet were not healed yet, so she couldn't rush back to stop Xie Lan. She was so angry that she could only question Xie Changting and Mrs. Liu.

"Uncle, sister-in-law, are you just going to watch Lan girl being so unruly? She even rode on our second wife's head and took a shit, and you didn't even bother to do anything!"

Xie Changting had a gloomy face and said nothing, but he gave a look to the housekeeper beside him without changing his expression.

The butler nodded imperceptibly and quietly retreated.

Soon, a servant rushed into Mingsong Hall and said, "Master, the Imperial Household Department sent someone to tell you that there is an urgent matter in the government office and you need to return quickly."

Xie Changting stood up immediately and said, "Mom, I'm going to the government office to do some work first, and I'll talk to you when I come back."

No one knows a son better than his mother. The old lady knew that Xie Changting didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the second house, so she deliberately avoided him and asked Xie Lan to get back the three thousand taels of silver.

The palms and backs of her hands were all made of flesh, so she could only pretend not to know and waved her hands, "Go ahead."

Seeing Xie Changting leave like this, Mrs. Peng was so angry that she fell backwards.

There was nothing Peng could do about Xie Changting, so she took out her anger on Liu. "Sister-in-law, you didn't care about that damn girl, and let her go to our second room and smash and rob?"

Liu looked at Peng with a cold face, "As a stepmother, how can I manage this? Since Lan came back home, have you ever heard a word I said?"

As sisters-in-law for many years, Mrs. Peng knew that what Mrs. Liu said was true. It was not that she didn't want to take care of the matter, but that she couldn't.

Xie Changting spent so much favors and money to send Xie Lan to study at Baihe Academy. Liu must hate that damn girl more than she does.

Peng had no choice but to call two maids to carry her back in a sedan chair as she couldn't walk.

The second landlord is Zhuyuan.

Xie Lan was sitting in the yard, crossing his legs, leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks.

Tiechui held a long sword in his hand and stood behind her with an expressionless face.

On the ground not far away, there were several maids and old women lying, their lives or deaths unknown.

In the warehouse, Nanny Zhang was picking things with a bamboo basket.

Upon learning that Xie Lan's assessment sticker and banknotes were stolen by Xie Yu, Nanny Zhang was heartbroken and stuffed all the valuables from the second room into a bamboo basket.

Opposite Xie Lan, Peng's two sons and Xie Yu were staring at her angrily and helplessly.

Just now, Xie Lan came to the door with a hammer, and the three sisters Xie Yuan, Xie Rui, and Xie Yu came forward with their maids and servants to stop them. Unexpectedly, as soon as they started, the maids and servants were all beaten with the hammer.

"Big sister, you are going too far! My parents are your elders after all. You are bullying us like this, what's the difference between that and robbery?"

"Brother, she is so disrespectful, rude and disrespectful, how can she be called elder sister by us." Xie Lan glanced at the two brothers Xie Yuan and Xie Rui and sneered, "I am excessive, rude and disrespectful? If it was me who stole your admission assessment stickers and banknotes, what would you do? Would you forgive her without any grudges?"

Forgive each other? How is that possible!

If their assessment stickers and banknotes were stolen, they would kill the other party.

Seeing the two brothers blushing and speechless, Xie Lan snorted coldly, "You can't even forgive each other, so what right do you have to blame me?"

Xie Yu was angry and annoyed when he saw how useless they were.

"I just swapped your assessment post. The banknote has nothing to do with me. Why do you want me to pay you 10,000 taels?"

"Why? Just because you took my place at the White Crane Academy, I gave you the choice, but you didn't want it. You can't blame me for taking action."

"you……"

"Shut up." Xie Yu wanted to argue, but Xie Lan impatiently cast a spell at him.

Seeing that Xie Yu and the two brothers Xie Yuan and Xie Rui were all immobilized, unable to move or speak, the other maids and servants were so frightened that they dared not say a word.

His ears were quiet now, and Xie Lan continued to drink tea and eat snacks.

Aunt Zhang came out of the storeroom carrying a bamboo basket. Xie Donghai, who had hurried over, was so angry that he almost exploded. "Someone, kick this old woman out."

"Wow, Second Uncle is really so majestic."

"Lan girl, do you still have me, your second uncle, in your eyes..."

"No." Xie Lan said slowly, almost choking Xie Donghai to death.

She was so angry that she yelled at the maids and servants, "Come here, send the young lady back."

Xie Lan was not afraid at all, and said lazily, "Let's see who dares to move."

Those servants were all from the second house, and even though they were afraid, they could only surround Xie Lan.

It was a pity that before they could even touch a corner of their clothes, they were all knocked down by the hammers and lay on the ground crying.

Xie Lan didn't even look at him, he just raised his chin towards Tiechui, "Second Uncle is tired, tell him to shut up and take a rest."

Xie Donghai's eyes were red with anger, "How dare you!"

How dare Xie Lan!
Not only did she let Tiechui press acupoints on Xie Donghai, but while he was unable to move, she also turned the second room upside down and took out all the valuables.

Even Mrs. Peng’s private money was not spared.

After choosing and selecting for a while, he finally nodded in satisfaction after collecting 10,000 taels.

When Peng was carried back by her mother-in-law, she felt as if her liver and heart were being dug out when she saw those things.

"You stupid girl, we are a family after all, do you really have to be so ruthless?"

"Second Aunt, I'm just taking back the compensation I deserve. If you want to blame someone, blame it on you for giving birth to a good daughter. If she hadn't stolen my things, I wouldn't have asked you for compensation."

Xie Lan paused, then suddenly frowned and said grimly, "If it weren't for the fact that we are a family, do you think your family would still be alive to stand here and fight with me?"

Meeting her dark eyes, Mrs. Peng shuddered and suddenly remembered the scene of being struck by lightning in the ancestral hall. Her raging anger dissipated at once.

I watched Xie Lan walk away with the banknotes and valuables.

As soon as Xie Lan returned to her Tinglan Pavilion, the nanny trusted by the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang came hurriedly with generous gifts and begged her to save the wife's life.

　My cervical spine has been in bad condition recently. Yesterday on the road, I was hit on the back by a little girl on a bicycle. Not only could I not ask for compensation, but I had to endure the pain and comfort the other person not to cry. It was so depressing.
