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

Chapter 125: Robbed the Third House’s Money in Person

As soon as Zhu finished speaking, the old lady covered her chest with her hands in anger.

She didn't feel sorry for Xie Lan.

But he was angry with Zhu.

That was the Royal Academy, and Xie Mao was a son of the Xie family. Zhu Shi didn't want to let her son go to study there, but instead let Xie Yan, that money-loser, go. It was such a waste of great resources.

The Royal Academy has both boys' and girls' schools. Although it does not train the country's top students like the Imperial Academy, it enrolls almost all children from powerful and aristocratic families in Kyoto.

Although their academic performance is not as good as those students in the Imperial Academy, they have a good family background.

If the children of the Xie family also studied in the Royal Academy, they would get to know some of the most powerful and influential people, which would be a huge help to the Xie family in the future.

Such a great opportunity was actually wasted by that damn girl Xie Yan.

In fact, the old lady was wronging Zhu. Although both sides of her hand were made of flesh and blood, her daughter would eventually marry into another family, so Zhu certainly valued her son Xie Mao more.

It wasn't that she didn't want Xie Mao to study at the Royal Academy, but Xie Yan didn't give her the chance.

At first, she didn't know that the Princess of Shouguang County had sent Xie Lan an admission letter to the Royal Academy.

It was by chance that she heard her daughter whispering with the maid about the teacher of the Royal Academy, and she found out that Xie Yan had actually stolen the admission ticket that Shouguang County Lady had given to Xie Lan.

By the time she found out, Xie Yan had already studied at the Royal Academy for three days, and there was no way for Xie Mao to take her place, so she had to give up.

Xie Lan didn't expect that she had misjudged her. This fourth sister was so scheming that she actually quietly stole her admission ticket and kept it a secret for such a long time without her noticing.

Xie Lan didn't feel too bad about the admission card. She had read so many books in her previous life and had read enough.

In the past, she was often forced to study by her second senior brother at Sanqing Mountain, and now she has no interest in studying at all.

The reason why she wanted to go to the academy was simply because there were many people and melons in the academy, which would be good for her to eat the melons, accumulate merits and prolong her life. In fact, she didn't care whether she could go to the Royal Academy or not.

But not caring doesn't mean she would allow Xie Yan to steal her admission ticket and replace her without her consent.

No matter who it is, if they touch her things without permission, they will have to pay the price.

At this moment, Zhu's trusted nanny ran in with a few boxes of different sizes, looking like she was taking credit for it. "Don't worry, Madam San. Before the fire started, all the valuables in the third room were rescued by this old servant. They were not burned."

"Really? My banknotes were not burned?" Zhu was ecstatic.

Xie Lan was just regretting not asking the arsonist ghost to help her steal the gold and silver jewelry from the third room, but she didn't expect that the nanny actually rescued her.

I saw Zhu rushing towards the boxes with a happy look on her face.

Suddenly a whip appeared from the side and swept away all the boxes.

Zhu paused, turned her head and looked along the whip, and saw that all the boxes fell into Xie Lan's hands.

Immediately, his face was distorted with anger, "Lan girl, what do you mean?"

Xie Lan opened several boxes one by one and checked them. After making sure they were filled with gold and silver valuables, he closed the lids with satisfaction, handed the hammer to Tiechui, and then looked at Zhu coldly.

"What do you mean, didn't you see it?"

"Are you going to rob our third room's money?" Xie Dahe didn't expect that Xie Lan would dare to rob their third room's things in front of him.

Xie Lan was not afraid at all, "So what? Third Uncle burned down my storehouse and dormitory, and my Tinglan Pavilion needs to be renovated.

And my third sister stole my Royal Academy admission ticket, shouldn't she compensate me?"

Peng was jealous that the Royal Academy's admission card was obtained by the third branch, and she said sarcastically, "Third brother and sister-in-law, have you forgotten that my daughter Yu went to the White Crane Academy, but she paid 10,000 taels to Lan.

Your little girl Yan stole the admission ticket of the Royal Academy, so she should pay 20,000 taels of silver as compensation, right? "

Peng was not happy about Xie Lan studying at the Royal Academy, and she also didn't want the benefit to be taken by the third branch.

Unless the benefit falls on their second branch, that would be another matter.

Twenty thousand taels, not to mention that all the things of the third room were burned, even if not, all the things added up would not be that much. Zhu wanted to snatch those valuables back from Xie Lan immediately, but she knew that Tiechui was very powerful. With her around, not to mention their third room, even if everyone in the Xie Mansion was added together, they would not be able to snatch a penny from her.

She didn't dare to scold him, nor could she hit him. Zhu could only hold back her rage, wipe her tears, and beg Xie Lan.

"Lan girl, I know it's your uncle and sister who are wrong. But you can see that everything in our third room has been burned.

Third Aunt doesn't ask you to return all the money to us, she only asks you to leave us some money to live on.

Apart from anything else, the burned yard had to be repaired, and new clothes and daily necessities had to be purchased.

There is also your third uncle's new son, who is only one month old now. You have to prepare food and clothing for him and Yao.

If we were penniless, how would we live? Don’t you think so?
Auntie San begs you to leave us a chance to live for the sake of our family, okay?

"Now you know that we are one family? When Third Uncle stole my things and set fire to my dormitory and storeroom, why didn't he remember that we are one family?"

No matter what he said, Xie Lan refused to listen.

Zhu had no other choice but to kneel on the ground with gritted teeth, "Lan girl, please beg me as your aunt to leave a way out for our third room."

If you know today, why should you be in the beginning.

Zhu had been married to her third uncle for many years, and Xie Lan didn't believe that she hadn't noticed that he was tempted by her money.

Seeing that Xie Lan was unmoved, he just moved aside to avoid Zhu's kneeling plea.

The old lady shouted angrily with a gloomy face, "Enough, Xie Lan, do you really want to force your uncle and aunt to death to be happy?"

Just as Xie Lan was about to retort, Xie Changting, who had rushed back after hearing the news, said unhappily, "What are you talking about, mother? There is food in the mansion, how come Third Brother and the others are being forced to death?"

The old lady didn't expect that when the eldest son came back, he would not help Xie Dahe, but instead sided with that dead girl.

"Although there is no shortage of food in the mansion, what kind of clothes and daily necessities do not cost money? And the third room's house was burned down and needs to be rebuilt.

Without money, what will you do with your third brother and the others?"

"Don't we have a few pieces of cloth in the palace? Just use that to make two sets of clothes for each of my third brother and his friends."

"Boss, that is coarse cloth, the material prepared for the servants in the mansion. How can you let your third brother wear that?"

"If servants can wear it, why can't my third brother? If mother feels sorry for him, she can give him some money out of her own pocket. I have no objection."

The old lady didn't have much money to begin with, not to mention that Xie Lan had extorted some money from her as soon as he returned home.

What was left was her coffin money, how could she give it to the third wife?
