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

Chapter 142 The Evil Ghost is Someone Else
Yang Fen knew that the key to his family's doom was to kill the evil ghost. No matter whether he went to find his sister or his father, he could not save them.

He could only run back to Xie Lan in a hurry, "Of course I have to save her..."

Before he could finish his words, Yang Fen suddenly looked sad. Although he was the prince, he could not come up with 200,000 taels.

Glancing into the distance, he saw his father talking to his grandmother.

Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he knew that although his father was the eldest son and the Marquis of Yongyi, his grandmother had always favored his second uncle's family over their eldest son's family.

There was no way his grandmother would agree to give out 350,000 taels to help their eldest wife avoid death.

But Yang Fen also knew that he couldn't just watch his parents and sister die tragically.

After hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Xie, please save my parents and sister first. I will go to the accountant to get the banknotes."

The Second Madam stood in front of him angrily and said, "My Lord, not all the money in the Marquis' Mansion belongs to your eldest wife. Why are you squandering the public money?

Besides, no one has ever seen that evil ghost, and it is still unclear whether ghosts really exist in this world."

As soon as Wu finished her words, a lady suddenly pointed to the distance and screamed, "Oh my God, that tree is going to fall."

Wu followed the other guests and turned around. She saw the big tree falling straight towards Marquis Yongyi and her eyes widened in shock.

After talking to his mother, Yongyi Hou was walking back with a sullen face.

When he heard the noise and looked up, he was startled to see a large tree falling towards him.

He instinctively wanted to dodge, but at this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew towards him.

Just as I was wondering, I suddenly realized that I couldn't move.

Seeing the tree falling, the prince of Yongyi Marquis was not too worried at first, because he knew that although his father's martial arts skills were not very high, it was more than enough to avoid the tree.

However, to his surprise, his father did not dodge, but stood there, allowing the tree to fall.

The incident happened suddenly, and the Prince of Yongyi was secretly annoyed that he had not remembered the divination that Xie Lan had predicted for his father, which was that his father would be killed by a tree.

"Dad, be careful..."

Yang Fen shouted in fear and rushed towards his father using his lightness skills.

However it was still a step too late.

With a loud bang, Marquis Yongyi fell straight down.

Watching his own father being smashed to pieces and falling unconscious, the Prince of Yongyi Marquis rushed over like a madman.

Prince Kang was terrified by what he saw, and he quickly ran over. Together with Yang Fen, he lifted the big tree and moved it aside.

Yang Fen knelt beside his father, stretched out a finger with trembling hands, and placed it under his nose.

Feeling a faint breath, he collapsed to the ground.

The lady did not expect that the Marquis of Yongyi did not avoid the big tree. She was supported by the nanny and hurried forward, "Fen'er, how is your father?"

Yang Fen raised his head and glanced at her coldly, ignoring her words. He lowered his head, tore off a piece of his father's clothes, and bandaged his father's forehead, then said to Xie Lan.

"Miss Xie, please help me look after my father. I will go to the account office to get the banknotes."

Xie Lan nodded, "Don't worry, your father won't die as long as I'm here."

Yang Fen bowed to her and turned away.

The second wife felt very distressed when she thought about the first wife spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

He didn't care whether others would think too much, and shouted angrily, "Stop, the money in the accounting office belongs to the public, how can we allow you to squander it at will!"

Yang Fen paused, turned around, and asked the old lady with red eyes, "Grandmother, do you also think that I can't use the public funds to save my parents and sister? Do you think it's a waste like Second Aunt?"

Being questioned by her grandson in front of so many people, the old lady was unhappy, but she couldn't say anything for the sake of her reputation. She could only frown and say, "Fen'er, your father was hit by a big tree, it was just an accident."

"It's not an accident. Miss Xie and Taoist Qiu Yang both said it was caused by an evil spirit." The lady's face was gloomy. She originally wanted to say that Miss Xie was just talking nonsense. But Qiu Tingsong also said it was caused by an evil spirit, so she couldn't say anything bad about Xie Lan.

"I just came back from the Great Compassion Temple. The abbot of the temple is very skilled in magic. Since there is a ghost doing evil, let's send someone to invite him over and capture the evil ghost."

The lady gave Xie Lan a meaningful look and said, "The abbot of Dabei Temple is highly respected and compassionate. He will not ask for an exorbitant reward.

Unlike some people, who are greedy at a young age and are not afraid of choking. "

Xie Lan was not a person with a good temper to begin with. This damn old woman would praise others but had to step on her.

"By the time you go and invite the abbot of Dabei Temple, I'm afraid the grass on the graves of your eldest son and his family will be three feet high."

As if to verify Xie Lan's words, another maid ran over in panic, "My Lord, my Lord, something bad has happened. The eldest lady is threatening to commit suicide by swallowing gold."

Yang Fen's expression suddenly changed, "Thank you, Miss..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Xie Lan raised his hand and took out two pieces of talisman paper and handed them to Tiechui, "Take them to Madam Hou and Miss Yang."

Tiechui didn't say anything. He took the talisman, asked where the wife of Marquis Yongyi was, and rushed over directly.

Yang Fen was overjoyed and bowed to Xie Lan, "Thank you very much, I will go get the banknotes now."

This time, no matter what the lady and Mrs. Wu said, Yang Fen did not turn back.

The Madam could only solemnly order the servants and guards, "Stop the prince."

Yang Fen knew that in her grandmother's heart, his father had never been as good as his second uncle, but he didn't expect that even when his father was injured so badly, his grandmother still wanted to stop him.

Yang Fen was also angry, and he kicked down the servants and guards who surrounded him one by one. Then he used his Qinggong skills and ran towards the accounting office.

The second wife was furious and called the guards good-for-nothings.

Yang Qi was not too worried. He had just secretly instructed the guard to pass a message to the accountant, asking him to hide the banknotes and lock the warehouse.

Even if Yang Fen went, he wouldn't be able to get the banknotes.

But Yang Qi did not expect that Yang Fen was so ruthless this time that he not only smashed the warehouse, but also held a knife to force the accountant to give him the banknotes.

Soon Yang Fen returned and handed an ebony box to Xie Lan, "This is two hundred thousand taels, count it."

Xie Lan was not worried that Yang Fen would deceive her, but in order to provoke the Wu mother and her two sons, she deliberately took the box, counted slowly three times, and then handed it to the hammer.

When Mrs. Wu saw the box of banknotes, she felt so angry that her heart ached.

"Sir, that evil ghost was your fault. Li Xiaolian was killed by you. Even if you wanted to save your parents, you should have used the money from your eldest wife's house. Why did you use the banknotes from the public treasury?"

"Second Aunt, I've told you before, I wasn't the one who killed Li Xiaolian."

Wu sneered, "If you didn't kill him, why did Li Xiaolian only seek revenge on your eldest family and not others?

Yang Fen was furious, but he couldn't refute it. Although he didn't want to admit it, the evil ghost was indeed seeking revenge on their family.

Just as he was speechless, Xie Lan suddenly spoke up, "Who told you that the evil ghost who wanted to take your life was Li Xiaolian?"
