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

Chapter 135 The Evil Ghost Claims Life
“Someone’s dead, someone’s dead…”

As the screams spread, the guests rushed to the lotus pond not far away.

Liu Wenyin and the other ladies could not help but walk to the pavilion and look in the direction of the lotus pond. Suddenly someone said anxiously, "Shouguang County Princess went to find Yang Man. Didn't she say she would be back after delivering the talisman paper? It's been so long, why hasn't she come back to see us yet?"

Feng Jiaxi couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah... Could it be that the county lady is the one in trouble?"

Seeing everyone's expression change, Xie Lan had no choice but to say, "Don't panic, I've seen the county lady's face, she won't be the one in trouble."

Although everyone felt relieved after hearing her words, they still felt a little worried as they hadn't seen the county lady in person.

Deng Qinglan originally wanted Xie Lan to treat her eldest brother's leg, but now something happened in the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion, so she could only make plans after the banquet was over.

After a few discussions, they decided that since everyone had gone to the place where the incident occurred, it would be unavoidable for them to appear a little cold and callous if they didn't express their concern.

Just when everyone was about to go to the lotus pond to take a look, they saw a maid running towards them from the direction of the lotus pond with an anxious look on her face.

"Isn't that Xi Que, the county lady's maid? Damn it! Could something have really happened to the county lady?"

Feng Jiaxi and the others all became nervous, but Xie Lan was the only one who looked calm. Although she didn't know who was in trouble, she knew it definitely wasn't the Princess of Shouguang County. After all, she had a face of longevity and would live to be over ninety years old. How many people would envy her?

Feng Jiaxi and the others hurried over to Xi Que and asked impatiently even from a distance, "Xi Que, is there something wrong with the county lady?"

"No, the county lady is fine." Xi Que hurriedly replied, and rushed to Xie Lan breathlessly, "Miss Xie, it was Miss Yang who drowned. My county lady would like to trouble you to go over and see if Miss Yang can be saved."

Xie Lan frowned, and walked quickly towards the lotus pond while asking Xi Que, "The one who got in trouble was Miss Yang? This shouldn't be the case. Didn't the county lady give her the amulet? Didn't she refuse it?"

Xi Que trotted to catch up with Xie Lan, shaking her head, "I don't know what happened specifically. At that time, the county mistress took the amulet you gave her, found Miss Yang, and told her everything in detail.

The amulet was also given to her, and the county lady specifically told Miss Yang to wear it close to her body and not to take it off.

At that time, the county lady saw that Miss Yang agreed to keep her close to her, and Princess Kang happened to send someone to invite the county lady to talk, so I followed the county lady.

As for what happened to Miss Yang after we left, we don’t know.”

Over there, by the lotus pond.

Yang Man, the eldest daughter of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, lay lifeless on the ground with her eyes closed. Several maids surrounded her and were frantically trying to revive her by giving her water.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongyi collapsed on the ground, supported by two maids, crying and shouting, "Man'er, Man'er, wake up quickly. Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?"

One of the maids saw that no matter how she tried to control the water, Miss Yang did not wake up, but her face became even paler. She shivered a few times, stretched out a trembling hand, and just put it under her nose.

He collapsed to the ground, crying loudly, "Madam... the eldest girl is dead."

"She's not dead yet, she can still be saved." Xie Lan hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and was about to walk towards Miss Yang, but was stopped by several maids around the wife of Marquis Yongyi.

The wife of Marquis Yongyi had been married for more than ten years and had only given birth to two children, the Crown Prince and Miss Yang. Although she doted on Yang Fen, she also treated her daughter Yang Man as dear as the apple of her eye.

Now that she was in trouble, those old women were worried that the wife of Marquis Yongyi would vent her anger on her.

Seeing Xie Lan squeeze over, he thought she was trying to show off in front of everyone, and couldn't help but yell at her, "Which family are you from? How can you be so tactless? Hurry up and get out of here, and stop making trouble here."

The wife of Marquis Yongyi was also annoyed that Xie Lan was ignorant, but she had no time to care about that at the moment.

Like a madman, she pushed away the maid's support, staggered to Yang Man's side, hugged the corpse and cried, "No, my Man'er will not die, Man'er, Man'er, don't sleep, open your eyes and look at mother."

Seeing that Xie Lan did not leave, a maid took a look at her and found that she was a stranger and her clothes were not exquisite or luxurious.

The snob glared at her and sarcastically said, "I don't know which humble family you came from. Even if you want to show off and attract attention, you should at least watch the scene. You have no shame at all. Get out of here right now." Seeing that the woman was about to reach out to push Xie Lan, Tiechui quickly clamped her wrist, twisted it hard, and pushed her away.

The old woman screamed and took a few steps back, then was supported by the maid next to her.

Xie Lan withdrew her gaze from Yang Man, glanced coldly at the maids and old women who were glaring at her, said hello to Tie Chui, and turned away.

When Princess Guang'an learned that Miss Yang was in trouble, she was inevitably worried about the safety of Princess Shouguang. She kept pulling her to her side to talk. Princess Shouguang finally got rid of her mother and hurried over to see Xie Lan squeeze out of the crowd and leave.

He hurriedly chased after her, "Miss Xie, why did you leave? Is Yang Man beyond help?"

"He's not dead yet, but if he's a step slower, he'll be hopeless."

What do you mean?
Since he wasn't dead yet, there must be hope, right? But why didn't she save him, but walked away instead?
Shouguang County Lady was confused when she saw Xie Lan walking to the other side of the lotus pond. She hesitated for a while, but finally hurriedly followed him.

Seeing that the wife of Marquis Yongyi was crying heartbreakingly, the ladies and girls present also started wiping away their tears.

Perhaps they knew it was Miss Yang who fell into the water, so the male guests considered etiquette and no one came over, and no one saw Marquis Yongyi either.

However, when the Prince of Yongyi heard the news and saw that the imperial physician had not arrived yet, he rode on horseback to pick him up himself.

Hearing his mother crying from afar, Yang Fen rushed over with red eyes and sweat all over his forehead, "Mom, how is my sister?"

Doctor Sun, who was following beside him, almost died of running after the prince of Yongyi, but he didn't dare to complain. When he saw the expression on Miss Yang's face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Before he could even say anything, he was urged by the Prince of Yongyi to come forward and rescue.

Although he guessed that Miss Yang was dead, Doctor Sun still tried his best to save her. Unfortunately, he was a step too late.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am late. Miss Yang is...gone."

"Man'er..." The wife of Marquis Yongyi cried out in grief and fainted.

The eyes of the Yongyi Marquis were red. "How could this happen? My sister was fine. How could she die?"

Seeing the grief on the face of the Yongyi Marquis's son, the tearful maidservant beside him suddenly stepped forward and choked up, "My lord, please accept my condolences. Although the girl is gone, she doesn't want to see you so sad..."

Yang Fen recognized that this was Bihong, the personal maid who served Yang Man, and pulled her arm, "How did you serve her? How did Manman drown?"

"Prince, you hurt me." Bihong frowned and cried out, hoping to arouse Yang Fen's sympathy for her.

But seeing him staring at her like a murderer, she could only say aggrievedly, "It has nothing to do with me. The girl fell into the water because of the evil spirits that wanted her life..."
