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

Chapter 27: Wrong Face
In the flower hall, everyone's eyes widened in shock when they saw the blood gushing out of the old lady's mouth.

The old lady scolded the eldest girl and actually bit her tongue?

Is this curse coming true so soon?

The old lady was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes, and her hands were shaking with anger.

The evil star really did not like her. She had just returned home when it first caused her to almost choke to death on her tea, and now it was cursing her to bite her tongue.

Why was she a step slower and didn't strangle her to death!
Seeing that the old lady had blood all over her mouth, a maid hurriedly brought her water for her to rinse her mouth, and the maid ran hurriedly to get the hemostatic medicine.

Although the second wife privately disliked the old lady, she hated the eldest daughter even more.

Not long after Xie Changting married Su, she also married into the Xie family.

Su was superior to her in every aspect, whether in figure, appearance, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework or women's needlework. Now this disaster she gave birth to made her daughter look dull and dull, like a servant girl.

How could she not hate it!
Although the Xie family had official positions, they were not wealthy. As the children were getting married, each of them would receive only a small amount of money for marriage.

The first wife took this disaster girl back home, and when she got married, she took away a share of the dowry.

In this case, how much money would be left from the public treasury for her children? What good family would her son be able to marry into?

The second lady hoped that Xie Lan would offend the old lady completely and then be sent back to Sanqing Mountain to fend for himself.

"My dear, the old lady is still your grandmother after all. How can you curse her to have a bloody disaster? You are so treasonous. Why don't you kneel down and apologize to your grandmother?"

kneel?
In his life, Xie Lan had never knelt before anyone else except his ancestor and master in Sanqing Mountain.

She dared to kneel, but she was afraid that they couldn't bear it.

Xie Lan glanced around with an amused look on his face.

"Are you sure you want me to kneel? Except for my master, all the people I kneel to are... dead people!"

The old lady's tongue hurt so much that she couldn't speak. She was staring at Xie Lan with a gloomy look in her eyes.

Thinking of the death of the old man and that bitch Su, my heart skipped a beat.

If she let this evil star kneel down to her, she might really be killed by him.

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Xie Lan smiled sarcastically and sat down leisurely on the armchair beside him.

Waving a feather fan, he asked the second wife in a calm voice, "Who are you? I am the eldest daughter of the eldest son. I have a grandmother and a father above me, and a stepmother below me. It is not your turn to teach me a lesson, right?"

The second wife was scolded in public, while the third wife secretly gloated over her misfortune.

The Third Lady disliked Mrs. Peng, but she also didn't want Xie Lan to stay and compete with her children for the dowry.

His words were full of provocation, "Hey, young lady, the second wife is a piece of shit, she is your second aunt.

I am your third aunt. It is understandable that you were not at home before and did not know us. "

Then he turned to Mrs. Peng and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are too anxious. People who don't know this might think that my eldest brother and sister-in-law are dead, so you are asked to come forward and teach your niece a lesson."

Xie Lan raised her eyebrows. She thought the Xie family was very united, but it turned out that the three sisters-in-law were often fighting openly and secretly.

However, the fiercer the fight, the better.

The second wife was so angry that her lips were trembling.

She was annoyed by the Third Lady's open and implicit sarcasm, and was also angry at Liu's attitude of not caring about it.

"Sister-in-law, are you just going to let the young lady insult the elders? What are you thinking? Are you planning to let the young lady destroy the Xie family?"

The third girl, Xie Yu, was the daughter of Peng. When she saw her being scolded, she also joined in with an unhappy look on her face.

"Aunt, how could you bring my elder sister back without my grandmother's consent?
"My eldest sister's fate is to bring bad luck to relatives and friends. My grandfather has been killed. Do you want my grandmother to be killed as well?"

Xie Yu originally felt that the dowry prepared by the Xie family was too little, so naturally she didn't want Xie Lan to stay and take a share.

The fourth girl is not very old, but under the influence of her mother Zhu, she has long understood that the more dowry she has, the better her chances of marrying.

Xie Yan pretended to be worried, "Aunt, grandma has always been in good health. As soon as my elder sister came back home, grandma lost so much blood. If my elder sister really killed grandma, it would be a great act of filial piety.

Big sister has a very tough fate. Only Sanqing Mountain can suppress her fate."

The third wife, Zhu, originally wanted to let the first and second wives fight to the death so that she could reap the benefits. But when she saw her daughter speak up, she simply added fuel to the fire.

"Sister-in-law, you really shouldn't have brought the eldest daughter back without everyone's consent. Her fate is such that the old man was killed when she was born.

Even the Su family is gone.

Now that Lan girl has just returned home, she has caused unrest in the family. If you let her stay, the Xie family will be destroyed in the future. Can you bear it?"

Xie Lan was so angry that he almost laughed.

He scolded her in front of her, saying that she was unlucky in relationships and had no friends. Did he treat her like a dead person?
"The third and fourth sisters accused the eldest sister in public. Is this the rule you are afraid of?"

Xie Lan raised his hand and said, "You are so disrespectful to my elder sister. Hit me with the hammer."

As soon as Xie Lan finished speaking, Tiechui flashed.

Two snaps.

Xie Yu and Xie Yan were each slapped.

Looking at their red and swollen cheeks, Peng and Zhu were angry but could not vent their anger.

Xie Yu and Xie Yan were disrespectful to their elder sister, and according to the rules, Xie Lan could indeed teach them a lesson.

The reason why the Second and Third Ladies had to swallow their anger was because they saw that Tiechui's maid had martial arts skills and they were afraid of her.

Liu's face looked gloomy.

It would have been fine if Mrs. Peng and Mrs. Zhu had blamed her, but the third and fourth girls were just juniors, yet they dared to question her in front of the servants.

This shows that he doesn't take his aunt seriously at all.

Although Liu was annoyed, Xie Lan had already asked the maid to slap Xie Yu and Xie Yan, so she could only endure her unhappiness.

"Madam, Changting asked my daughter-in-law to bring the eldest daughter back. She will be a marriageable girl in a year, so it's time for her to meet a man. It's not good for her to stay in Sanqing Mountain forever."

Xie Lan was not Liu's daughter, so if it wasn't for Xie Changting's order, she naturally wouldn't want to take her back.

Xie Changting asked Liu to pick up Xie Lan. In fact, not only the old lady knew about this, but the second and third wives also knew about it.

It’s not that they don’t want to oppose, but that they can’t.

Although Xie Changting's official position was not high, the second master Xie Donghai and the third master Xie Dahe had lower positions.

Both of them were only of the ninth rank, one was the director of the Imperial Household Department and the other was the clerk of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Xie Changting was superior to his two younger brothers, and he was also the head of the family. No one could object to his decision to bring Xie Lan back.

Peng and Zhu were naturally aware of all this. They just wanted to use the old lady's injury as an excuse to ask Liu to send Xie Lan back to Sanqing Mountain.

“It’s okay if the eldest girl is a bad omen for us, but the old lady is old and can’t stand any accidents.

Besides, if a girl with that kind of fate wants to get married, which family wouldn't be averse to that?"

Xie Lan was speechless. Although she didn't want to get involved with the Xie family.

But she would not let them come and go at will.

“Lan’er has been in Sanqing Mountain for many years, and her master and the people in the Taoist temple are all fine, which shows that her fate is fine.

As for marriage, as long as you find someone who matches Lan'er's fate, you don't have to worry. "

Xie Lan looked at the man in Confucian robes who walked into the flower hall.

Her eyes fell on his face and her brows furrowed.

Is this her father Xie Changting?

But this face... isn't right?
