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

Chapter 281 Knock on the door

Seeing Xie Lan repeatedly ignoring him, Steward Song's patience evaporated like a burnt-out candle. He waved his hand at the servant who came with him to welcome the bride with a gloomy face and shouted coldly, "Come here, invite Miss Xie to the bridal sedan!"

Xie Lan suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes coldly swept towards the servants who were surrounding him from all directions, and his voice was as cold as ice: "I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

When Xie Lan asked Mrs. Wang and the servant just now, he did not avoid others. Steward Song and the servants who came to welcome the bride all heard it.

Although they didn't know the reason, they had already realized that Xie Lan was not welcomed in the mansion. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been promised to the Song family as a concubine without knowing it.

Even on the days when she was away, all the elders of the Xie family were not at home, which showed that they deliberately avoided her.

She was just a girl who had fallen out of favor. Since they had the documents to take her as a concubine, they had no scruples. No matter what, they would force her into the bridal sedan today.

Seeing that the servants turned a deaf ear to his warnings, Xie Lan's eyes became stern. Without any hesitation, he calmly ordered Tiechui, "Do it."

Tiechui had become impatient waiting, and at Xie Lan's command, she immediately pounced on the servants who were rushing over.

Although Manager Song brought many servants with him, most of them did not know martial arts. Although there were a few who knew a little bit of boxing and kicking, they were just fancy moves and were no match for the iron hammer.

She didn't even draw her sword, and in the blink of an eye she knocked all the servants to the ground.

The originally festive scene turned into chaos, with servants lying on the ground groaning in pain. Even Manager Song was beaten black and blue.

Although they were all injured, the hammer did not take their lives.

After all, they were just following orders. The culprit was not the Song family, and Xie Lan did not want to kill innocent people.

In order to show her determination not to marry into the Song family as a concubine, Xie Lan cast a thunder talisman and instantly blew the bridal sedan into pieces.

Then he said coldly to Manager Song, "Go back and tell Master Song, I don't care where you got this concubine document, anyway, I won't take anyone as a concubine, so let your Master Song give up this idea as soon as possible.

If it happens again, this bridal sedan will be the fate of your Song family."

Although Manager Song was furious, the high martial arts skills displayed by Tiechui and the move just shown by Xie Lan had already made him realize that he had misjudged him.

This Miss Xie is definitely not a weak woman who can be manipulated by him at will.

Not to mention him, even if Mr. Song himself came forward, he would not be able to force her to enter the Song family as a concubine.

Manager Song quickly weighed the pros and cons and no longer showed any arrogance towards Xie Lan.

"Thank you, Miss. I will report every word of your opinion to you, Master.

But now that things have come to this, since you don't want to marry into the Song Mansion, I hope Miss Xie can prepare the betrothal gifts that our master gave us before and return them in full to the Song Mansion so that we can have an explanation."

"How much betrothal gift did the Xie family receive?" Xie Lan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Manager Song with a cold gaze.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver, one hundred and eight pieces of gold, silver and jade, one thousand rolls of silk and satin of various colors, sixty-eight jade ruyi, forty-eight boxes of antique calligraphy, two mansions with four entrances, and eight shops..."

As Manager Song recited the list of betrothal gifts as if he were listing them all, a buzz of discussion broke out in the crowd.

"My goodness, the Song family actually gave so many betrothal gifts, which is probably enough to betroth the princess." "Tsk, with so many betrothal gifts, this Miss Xie is still unwilling to marry, which is too arrogant. Such a wealthy family is not satisfied, is she still thinking of flying up to the tree and becoming a phoenix and becoming a queen in the palace?"

Although many people were jealous and spoke in sarcastic and caustic ways after hearing about the staggeringly generous betrothal gift, there were also many people who were full of disdain and immediately started to refute it.

"What do you know? Although Mr. Song is an imperial merchant, he is old enough to be Miss Xie's grandfather. You are so shameless at your age that you still dare to covet Miss Xie. You are really a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

"Not only that, Mr. Song is not a good guy. He relies on the money in his hands to sleep with prostitutes all day long, and has concubines one after another. Any girl with a little bit of brains would not be willing to marry him."

"I also heard that Master Song's wife and concubines fought with each other every few days because of jealousy, and they used endless means to frame each other.

Not only is the whole backyard filled with chaos, but even the twenty or so illegitimate sons and daughters are fighting like black-eyed chickens all day long."

"Do you think marrying into the Song family is a blessing? That's jumping into a fire pit! You never know when you'll be plotted against by those treacherous concubines, and you won't even know how you died!"

Xie Lan almost laughed out of anger.

No wonder the old lady and her two sons were so bold as to sell her to the Song family as a concubine.

It turned out that Master Song gave such a huge betrothal gift that they were blinded by money and forgot their previous lessons.

Since Xie Lan was unwilling to be a concubine, she would not allow the Xie family to accept the betrothal gift from the Song family.

She looked at Manager Song with an apologetic look on her face, "The betrothal gifts should indeed be returned to your Song Mansion, but they are not in the Xie Family. They should be in the two houses you gave me. To express my apology, I can personally accompany you to get them back."

After beating someone up, Xie Lan's attitude suddenly became so good that Manager Song was very surprised. However, since he could get the betrothal gift back smoothly, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Manager Song never expected that Xie Lan wanted to use him. He successfully found the second and third wives and soon took his men to the house in East City.

It was just a coincidence that when the group arrived, they happened to see Mrs. Peng going out.

Seeing Tiechui pulling the carriage towards them from afar, Mrs. Peng was so frightened that her face turned pale and she ran back. As soon as she entered, she hurriedly told the servant to close the door.

Mrs. Peng thought that everything would be fine if she hid back in her house.

But at Xie Lan's command, Tiechui kicked the two vermilion doors open.

Peng was hiding behind the door and eavesdropping. When she heard the kick on the door, she turned around and tried to run away. But before she could take two steps, the door collapsed and hit her.

After hearing the familiar screams and seeing Peng's bloody legs, Xie Lan felt much better.

Seeing her happy smile, Mrs. Peng was shocked and angry, "Xie Lan, you are so disobedient and unfilial. You dare to allow a maid to hurt others. Do you still have me, an elder, in your eyes?"

Xie Lan sneered, "You and my second uncle sold me to the Song family as a concubine without telling my father for money. What kind of elder are you?"

Peng's pupils shrank.

In order to conceal this matter, she and Xie Donghai even gave up the Xie Mansion and hid out secretly. How come this damn girl still knew about this matter, and even came to the door unscrupulously?
