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

Chapter 258: Manipulation

The brothers Xie Rui and Xie Mao were young and energetic. They didn't believe what Xie Lan said at all and stared at her with flaming eyes.

"It's ridiculous! There are no ghosts in this world. Our Xie family used to be harmonious and there has never been any conflict or dispute.

But ever since you came back, you've been causing trouble every now and then, and now you've even gone so far as to beat up your elders.

Since you are so dissatisfied with the Xie family, pack up your things and go back to Sanqing Mountain."

Xie Lan's face was stern, and she said in a deep voice: "I am the eldest daughter of the Xie family, and your elder sister. You keep asking me to get out. Where did you learn all the rules and etiquette? Did they all go into the dog's stomach?"

After a brief pause, she swept her eyes across the crowd, "Since you guys don't know, I won't make a fuss about it this time.

But if you dare to talk nonsense to me again, don't blame me for being rude."

Xie Rui, relying on his young age and the fact that he had always been favored by the old lady and Mrs. Peng, had long been dissatisfied with Xie Lan.

In addition, the braised pork he had been looking forward to for a long time was smashed by Xie Lan, which made him even more furious.

He opened his mouth and cursed: "So what if you are the eldest sister? People like you who are disloyal, unrighteous, unfilial and unfraternal..."

Xie Lan came back this time for revenge. Since Xie Rui took the initiative to give her the opportunity to deal with him, she would not miss it.
He raised his hand and slapped him in the face, interrupting the rest of his words.

"You..." Xie Rui's eyes were bloodshot, he stood up in rage and wanted to rush forward to beat Xie Lan.

Xie Mao also had a gloomy expression on his face and wanted to step forward and teach her a lesson.

At this moment, Tiechui, who came over with Nanny Zhang, saw this scene. He drew out the sword in his hand with a "clang" and stood in front of Xie Lan.

Meeting her cold gaze, Xie Mao and Xie Rui felt a chill in their faces and shivered involuntarily, their steps quickly stopped in an instant.

Not only were their brothers frightened by the hammer, but even Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe were so frightened by the murderous aura of the hammer that their faces turned pale.

After they knocked the girl unconscious, they sold her to Zhang, the manager of the gambling house in the north of the city. They had clearly agreed to send her to reward the managers who were mining in Xu County.

In order to prevent Tiechui from escaping, they specifically instructed Manager Zhang to cut the tendons in the maid's hands and feet.

But why is she safe and sound now? She even managed to escape back so quickly?

Countless questions flashed through Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe's minds.

Seeing Tiechui's murderous look, they were afraid that she would really kill Xie Mao and the others. They had no choice but to move forward.

"Lan girl, please talk nicely and don't be impulsive. There must be some misunderstanding here." Xie Donghai tried his best to make his tone sound calm, attempting to ease the tense atmosphere.

Xie Dahe also quickly agreed, "Yes, Lan girl. Your second uncle and I have been working these days and are very busy.

Besides, you are our niece, how could we sell you?

I admit that you and our second and third wives did not get along very well, but that is all in the past.

We, as elders, don’t take it to heart. How could we sell you out just because of a small conflict? This is simply nonsense.”

After hearing this, Xie Lan's eyes were full of doubts, and he said coldly: "If that's the case, then tell me, the Xie family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet, where does the money come from to eat and drink delicious food?"

Xie Dahe and Xie Donghai looked at each other, with panic flashing in their eyes. Xie Dahe felt a little uneasy, but tried to calm down, "Lan girl, you don't know, I treated a nobleman two days ago, and he gave me a lot of money as a reward.

Uncle San saw that everyone had been eating simple meals recently and had little fat in their stomachs. In addition, your grandmother broke her arm a few days ago, so he thought of asking the cook to make a few more meat dishes to help your grandmother recuperate. "

Seeing Xie Dahe's calm face, Xie Lan's anger seemed to dissipate a little, and hesitantly said: "Didn't my second uncle and third uncle sell me to Lei Tangzhu of the Beast Gang?"

Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed their anger, shook their heads again, and said in unison: "Of course not, after all, we are a family, how could the second uncle and the third uncle do such a thing to you."

Xie Donghai had his head broken, and Xie Yuan and the others were scolded by that damn girl Xie Lan. Peng was naturally angry, but when she saw Tiechui's murderous aura, she had to suppress her anger in her heart.

"Lan girl, when a family lives together, there are bound to be some bumps and bruises. But don't worry, your second uncle and third uncle are kind-hearted people and will never do anything bad."

At this time, the old lady also forced a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Lan girl, your second aunt is right, don't let your imagination run wild.

Your second uncle and third uncle are indeed honest and decent people, and they would never do such a heinous thing to their niece.

You must have been instigated by someone to misunderstand them like this."

Xie Lan looked at everyone back and forth, his eyes full of suspicion and inquiry.

After looking for a while, it seems that I can't find any flaws.

After a moment of silence, he reluctantly said, "In that case, I will trust you for now.

But if I find out that you have told even a single lie, I will not let you off easily."

After saying a few harsh words, Xie Lan turned around and left with Tiechui and Nanny Zhang.

Seeing her so arrogant, Xie Rui smashed the food, beat his father, and left without even saying sorry.

He was so angry that he wanted to go up to her and argue with her, but was stopped by Xie Donghai's quick eyes and hands.

Xie Rui was very dissatisfied, "Dad, how could you let her go like this? She even dared to hit you and Uncle San, and didn't take you seriously at all. Don't you want to teach her a lesson?"

Of course he didn't want to. He was an official after all. He was beaten by his niece in front of so many people. He wanted to strangle her to death.

But Tiechui is very skilled in martial arts. If he really attacks Xie Lan, the maid might actually dare to kill him.

"Okay, stop talking." Xie Donghai scolded impatiently. By the time the maid finished treating the wound on his head, he had no appetite to eat anymore.

But when I saw the children staring at the remaining dishes, my throat couldn't help but roll up and down.

Even the old lady was reluctant to waste those dishes. After all, times are different now. If she missed it, who knows when she would have the chance to eat such delicious dishes again.

After hesitating for a while, the old lady finally called the maid, "Clean up the floor, the food is getting cold, everyone, hurry up and eat. If there is anything, we can discuss it after we finish eating."

With the old lady's order, no one left the hall and everyone stayed to have their meal.

I don’t know if it was because of what happened just now that affected my mood, or because the food was cold.

Mrs. Peng always felt that the dishes were not as delicious as before, and there was even a hint of weirdness that she couldn't explain.

Mrs. Peng frowned and stared at the dishes on the table with suspicion. Could it be that that damn girl Xie Lan had done something to these dishes?
