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

Chapter 124 A dog that bites doesn’t bark

Although Zhu was extremely reluctant, she had no choice but to agree and let Yao come into the mansion to be Xie Dahe's concubine.

Yao was not willing to enter Xie's house at first, because she knew that if she became a concubine, she would be bullied by the wife. Although being a mistress was not nice, she could live freely in this large house with four entrances and lead a life of ordering servants around, which was much better than being a concubine.

She didn't have to worry about being bullied by Zhu, nor did she have to serve the old lady. Her life was no worse than that of Zhu, the principal wife.

But now, all her money and the house were taken away by Xie Lan.

She had no choice but to become a concubine in Xie's mansion.

Fortunately, she had a son by her side, and Xie Dahai was just attracted by her looks and figure.

I believe that with these, she can live a good life in Xie Mansion.

Although Xie Dahe is only a clerk in the Imperial Hospital, he has good medical skills. With her by his side to guide him from time to time, I believe he will be able to climb up to the powerful and influential soon.

When the time comes, let those nobles like the dukes and princes mention Xie Dahe's abilities in front of the emperor. When he becomes the director of the Imperial Medical Service, she will have all the wealth and glory she wants.

When the time comes, she will definitely teach that little bitch Xie Lan a lesson to avenge today's grudge.

After comforting herself, Yao asked the maids and old women to pack up the things that she and her son often used, and the group followed Xie Dahe back to the Xie family.

However, what greeted the Yao family was not wealth and glory, but a blazing fire.

That’s right, the Xie family had a fire incident again.

However, this time it was not Xie Lan's Tinglan Pavilion that was burned, but the West Stone Courtyard of the Third House.

Seeing the huge fire reaching the sky, Yao was stunned.

Xie Dahe and Zhu Shi yelled at the maids and servants like crazy, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and put out the fire."

"Third Master and Third Madam, it's not that we don't want to put out the fire, but the fire is too big. If we get close to it, we will die."

When Xie Dahefei thought of the outer house that had just been destroyed and saw the fire in front of him, his heart bled.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We have to save it even if we can't. If you don't bring water, I will sell you all out!" He grabbed the servant's collar and yelled angrily, then reached out and pushed him hard, "Get out! Go get me some water to put out the fire."

On the other side, Zhu was also trying her best to get the maids and old women to put out the fire.

But no matter how much the couple fought and quarreled, no one went to put out the fire.

Those maids and servants were not stupid. They were lowly servants, but their lives were lives too. Who would go and die knowing that they could not be saved?

Seeing that all the servants in the mansion would rather be sold than put out the fire, Xie Dahe and Zhu were helpless even though they were angry.

They could only watch the raging fire burning the three-room house into ruins.

Seeing Xie Lan standing by with his arms folded, he was enjoying the fire leisurely.

Xie Dahe stared at her intently, "Xie Lan, was it you who set fire to the West Stone Courtyard of our third room?"

That's right, it was she who released the ghosts that had been collected in the ghost container and let them set fire to the third room. Wasn't it her doing?

I guessed it right, but unfortunately she won't admit it.

"It seems that this fire not only burned the third uncle's house, but also his brain."

"you……"

"What do you mean by you!" Xie Lan interrupted Xie Dahe before he could finish his words, "If Third Uncle's brain wasn't burned out, how could you say such nonsense as I set fire to your Third Room?
When I left the mansion to go to your outer house, my grandmother and Third Aunt were with me the whole time. Even Aunt Zhang and Tiechui were always by my side.

Excuse me, Third Uncle, how can I leave your outer house and run back to set fire to your third room's house under everyone's eyes?"

Xie Dahe was filled with rage but had no place to vent it. Even if the fire was not set by that damn girl, it must have been caused by her fate.

But even if he knew that it was her fault, he couldn't use it to punish her.

Just when the third branch of the Xie family was angry and helpless, a maid from the Prince Guang'an's mansion suddenly came to ask to see Xie Lan.

The person who came was an acquaintance, Qiu Shuang, the maidservant of Shouguang County Princess.

Seeing the burnt mess in the third room of Xie's house, Qiu Shuang was curious but didn't dare to ask too much.

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong with your county lady?" Xie Lan didn't expect that the county lady would send someone to look for her again, and she even wondered if she was looking for her to help with fortune-telling. Qiu Shuang shook her head, "Miss Xie, my county lady is fine. It's our county lady who is worried about whether something happened to you, so she asked me to come and see you."

Xie Lan looked puzzled. "I'm fine. What could have happened?"

Qiu Shuang saw that she really didn’t look like she was in trouble, so she just said, “Miss Xie, since you are fine, why don’t you go to the Royal Academy?

My princess wanted to be your classmate, but you didn't go. Our princess is so disappointed that she couldn't wait for you."

Royal Academy?

Xie Lan looked at Qiu Shuang in silence, "Have you forgotten that the Royal Academy is not a place that anyone can go to. My father is only a seventh-rank chief clerk, and I can't enter the Royal Academy."

Qiu Shuang frowned, "It's true that not everyone can enter the Royal Academy, but didn't my county lady send you an admission card for the Royal Academy?

The admission card was obtained by our prince from Yu Jijiu of the Royal Academy. You can enter and study without taking any exams."

Xie Lan was stunned. "Your county lady sent me an admission letter to the Royal Academy? When did it happen?"

Qiu Shuang was also stunned. "You don't know? It was when our county lady sent you bird's nest and other food last time, didn't you see it?"

Xie Lan remembered that the time when the county lady sent the food, Xie Donghai and Xie Yu had just been punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and the old lady ordered the kitchen to cook all the food.

That’s great. It seems that someone has secretly stolen her things again.

"Who took my admission ticket?" Xie Lan's eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the Xie family.

"Don't look at me, I didn't touch your things." Liu was unhappy. She was in charge of the household affairs and she didn't even notice that someone had sent the admission notice to the Royal Academy to this little bitch.

As soon as Xie Lan saw her expression, he knew that she was not uninterested in the admission sticker, but that she didn't have the opportunity and didn't want to be beaten to it by others.

Peng was both jealous and gloating.

It doesn’t seem to be the second room.

That leaves only three rooms.

Seeing Xie Lan looking at her, Zhu's eyes flashed with guilt.

As expected, the barking dog bites. The second room has been jumping around recently, but the third room has been quiet. I thought they were honest, but I didn't expect they were also up to no good.

"Third Aunt, tell me, was it my second brother or my fourth sister who got the admission card sent by the county lady?"

Zhu's eyes were evasive and she hesitated to deny it.

Qiu Shuang snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. As long as our county lady goes to the Royal Academy and asks, she will know who it is."

At this point, Zhu knew she could no longer hide the truth, so she could only confess, "It was that girl Yan'er."
