Chapter 141 Stab
The ghost fire was extinguished, and Prince Yongyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing their clothes burnt to tatters and their flesh exposed, the ladies and wives turned away in shame and rushed to the Crown Prince of Kang to pull off his outer robe.
Prince Kang originally wanted to resist, but when he saw Yang Fen's miserable state, he twitched his mouth and gave up resisting.
Yang Fen gave him a look that said "you'd better know what's best for you", then unceremoniously put on Prince Kang's outer robe, and then ran back to Xie Lan happily.
“Auntie, the amulet you gave me is really magical. I was not burned. It’s a pity that the amulet paper was burned.
Auntie, have I escaped this catastrophe? Will I be burned to death again in the future? "
Apart from Marquis Yongyi's wife, Jiang, who looked at Xie Lan nervously, waiting for her to clarify her confusion, the other guests also looked at her curiously.
Xie Lan was speechless when she saw Yang Fen calling her aunt all the time. "Who is your aunt? Stop calling her that."
After taking another look at his face, he said, "The talisman paper you used earlier can only protect you from bad luck once. Your death calamity has not been broken, so you will still die."
If Yang Fen had doubts about her words before, now he believed them completely.
Thinking that his life was still hanging by a thread, Yang Fen made a bitter face and nodded to Xie Lan, "Aunt, Ancestor, Fairy, I was wrong before, I shouldn't have doubted your ability.
Could you please forgive me for what I did? I am still so young and I have not started a family yet. Could you please spare my life?"
Prince Kang had never seen Yang Fen, this playboy, fawning on anyone like this before, but he had also witnessed with his own eyes that all the divinations predicted by Xie Lan had come true.
For these playboys, when it comes to life and death, face and other things can be put aside; staying alive is the most important thing.
Jiang had never seen her son beg for help before, and she felt sorry for him. But she couldn't care less about anything else when she thought of the will-o'-the-wisp just now.
Instead of asking Qiu Tingsong, it is better to ask Miss Xie.
She was old, and it didn't matter whether she could live or not. But her son was still young, and she couldn't watch him burn to death again.
"Miss Xie, you can resolve this fatal disaster, right? Can you please save my two children?"
Xie Lan came to the Marquis's Mansion to attend the banquet just to eat melons. If everyone died, the melons would lose their flavor.
"I can save him, but I won't work for nothing."
Yang Fen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "I understand, I understand. As long as you are willing to save me, just tell me how much you want as a reward."
Xie Lan looked at him with a smile, "Are you sure? My reward is not cheap."
Yang Fen has been used to spending money lavishly since he was a child. For him, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Jiang knew that her son never took money seriously and was afraid that he would agree to it rashly, so she was about to stop him.
Yang Fen patted his chest and said, "Sure, tell me, how much reward do you want?"
The people in Beijing are really stupid and rich.
Xie Lan stretched out five fingers and shook them with a smile, "Your Highness is really straightforward. The price is 50,000 taels per life. How many people do you want to save, Your Highness?"
Jiang was worried that Xie Lan would ask for too much, but she didn't expect that saving a person would only cost 50,000 taels. Although this price was not low, she could still afford it.
"Just save four people: my parents, my sister, and me."
Xie Lan liked people who were quick to act. "No problem. Two hundred thousand taels for four people. But I need to collect the money first, and then I will help you subdue the evil ghost."
Marquis Yongyi frowned and was about to speak. A quick-talking guest asked curiously, "Prince, didn't Miss Xie say that the two children born to Shen and her would also die? Aren't you going to save them?" Marquis Yongyi glanced at his father but said nothing. The two children born to Shen and her always competed for favor with the three of them. He would be a fool to want to save them.
As for Xie Lan, although she wanted to earn more money from incense offerings to build a golden statue for the ancestor and repair the Taoist temple, she was not willing to make money from anything.
She didn't want to save the Shen family and their two children, but that didn't stop her from stabbing them.
"My Lord, do you want to save Shen and the others? To add three more people, the steward will need 350,000 taels."
Marquis Yongyi naturally wanted to rescue him, but asking him to pay such a large sum of money at once, although it would not be a huge loss, would still be very difficult.
What's more, the Marquis' Mansion doesn't belong to him alone, but also to his second brother's family.
As expected, Second Madam Wu was not happy when she heard this. "My Lord, Sister-in-law, I have no objection to you finding someone to kill the evil ghost, but the money in the Marquis' Mansion didn't come from the wind. Three hundred and fifty thousand taels, how can the mansion have that much money?"
Shen was already unhappy when she saw that Marquis Yongyi was reluctant to say anything about saving her and her two children. When she heard what Wu said, her anger grew even stronger.
"Master Hou..."
Shen Meiying had just opened her mouth when suddenly an old and serious voice interrupted her, "Shen's."
Hearing this familiar voice, Shen realized that it was the Taifu who had gone to the temple for meditation half a month ago who suddenly came back. She thought she was going to pay money to save her and her two children, but when she saw the Taifu's gloomy face, she knew she was wrong.
"Mom, why are you back?" Marquis Yongyi was naturally happy to see his mother coming back.
The lady didn't reply to him, but said, "Boss, Jiang, please come with me. I have something to say."
Marquis Yongyi didn't know what his mother wanted to see him and his wife about, but when he saw that she had already turned around and left, he had no choice but to apologize to the guests and prepare to follow her.
Xie Lan raised his voice and said, "My Lord, I advise you not to go, otherwise you will regret it."
Marquis Yongyi paused, but at this moment, the lady who had already walked away suddenly turned back and said, "Boss, come here quickly."
"I'm coming." Marquis Yongyi responded and hurried over.
Xie Lan looked at his back, sighed, and shook his head with a look of regret.
Yang Fen's heart tightened, "Aunt, will something happen to my father? Will he die?"
Xie Lan turned around and said, "I gave you two amulets before. Is one of them with your father?"
"Yes." Yang Fen nodded. He had not taken the amulet seriously at first, but after all he had spent one thousand taels on it, he decided to just take it with him.
In addition, Prince Kang also advised him not to waste it, so he gave his father a talisman.
"With the amulet, your father won't die. At most, he'll be half dead."
The corner of Yang Fen's mouth twitched. Although he was annoyed that his father always protected Shen's mother and son, he didn't want to see him get into trouble.
Just as he turned around and wanted to chase his father back, suddenly a woman ran over with a panicked look on her face, "Madam, the eldest girl has drowned again..."
Jiang's face changed, and she left the lady behind and ran towards Yang Man's yard.
Yang Fen was suddenly overwhelmed, not knowing whether to go find his father or visit his sister.
Seeing him hesitant, Xie Lan frowned and said, "Hey, do you want to save him or not? If you do, make a decision quickly. It will be too late if you delay."
