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

Chapter 284 The Wrong Person
"How do you know the whereabouts of my second and third uncles?" The more Xie Lan thought about it, the more strange it seemed to her. Could it be that Lord Xiao had secretly sent someone to monitor her?

Otherwise, why would he suddenly appear, without asking her what happened, and directly say that he would accompany her to find Xie Donghai and others to get the silver?

Xiao Jin saw the doubt in her eyes and did not say that it was Fatty who informed him. If the junior sister knew that the parrot she had raised since childhood was now devoted to him, she would probably pluck out all its feathers.

"With such a big thing happening, why didn't you send someone to look for me? If Yang Feng hadn't been out on business and happened to see the Song family's wedding procession, I wouldn't have known that you were going to be a concubine of the Song family. Could it be that you lied to me when you said you didn't want to get married?"

Lord Xiao's handsome face was filled with grievance at this moment, and there was a barely perceptible trace of resentment in his eyes.

Xie Lan looked at him like this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he almost couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said unhappily: "Did Yang Feng tell you that I blew the Song family's sedan chair into pieces?"

"Well done." A murderous look flashed across Xiao Jin's eyes. If it weren't for the junior sister who blew up the bridal sedan, the Song family would not be having a wedding today, but a funeral.

Ever since seeing Xiao Jin appear, Manager Song's heart has been beating like a drum. What is the relationship between these two people? Why does he feel that the look in Master Xiao's eyes when he looks at him seems to be faintly murderous?
Elegant room in Zuixianlou.

The brothers Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe were toasting each other with smiles on their faces.

"Brother, now that you have no job, what are your plans?"

"I plan to open a silk and satin shop, and Master Song has agreed to supply me with the goods. The silk and satin he has are all top-quality materials, no worse than those supplied to the palace.

I will buy goods from him, and my shop will definitely be very popular in the future."

Speaking of this, Xie Donghai couldn't help but feel happy. Ever since he was dismissed from his post, he felt like the sky had fallen.

But now think about it, it's not a big deal if I can't be an official. In the future, relying on Master Song, I can not only make a lot of money, but also take as many concubines as he wants.

Xie Dahe was even happier because Mr. Song not only ran a silk and cloth business, he also owned a medicinal herb business.

Xie Dahe is planning to open a clinic. With Mr. Song supplying medicinal materials, he can make a lot of money from the clinic.

But thinking of Xie Lan, Xie Dahe frowned, "I wonder if that damn girl got into the bridal sedan."

Xie Donghai's smile froze, but soon returned to normal, "Don't worry, I have already reminded Manager Song to bring more people with him. With the concubine document, that damn girl will definitely not be able to escape..."

"boom!"

The two were talking intently when the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. Xie Donghai paused, and subconsciously turned his head with Xie Dahai to look at the door. Seeing the three brothers Xie Yuan, Xie Rui, and Xie Mao rushing in in a mess, he was immediately shocked, "What's going on? Why are you here? Who beat you up like this?"

As soon as Xie Donghai finished speaking, Xie Yu and Xie Yan were also pushed into the private room. The two sisters were already furious, and when they saw Xie Donghai, Xie Yu felt even more wronged, "Dad, it was the eldest sister who tied us up, and she also broke both of Mom's legs."

However, Xie Donghai didn't care about her crying at this moment. His eyes passed over everyone and fell directly on Xie Lan who was following behind him. His face was full of astonishment and disbelief, and he blurted out subconsciously: "You damn girl, why are you here?"

Xie Dahe also frowned and glanced at Xie Lan, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Manager Song following behind him, and the group of disheveled, bruised and battered servants behind them.

His eyes darkened instantly, and he cursed in his heart: What a bunch of rubbish! They are incapable of accomplishing anything, but always capable of causing trouble!
Xie Lan entered the private room and overturned the table full of wine and delicacies.

"Take out the betrothal money you took and return it to the Song family now, otherwise don't blame me for taking action." The food and wine at Zuixianlou are notoriously expensive in Kyoto. A table like this cost more than three hundred taels. Xie Donghai felt distressed and annoyed.

"Lan girl, since ancient times, parents' orders and matchmakers' words have been passed down. Your marriage was arranged by your grandmother and has nothing to do with us. How could you disregard etiquette and come to the restaurant to make trouble?"

Xie Lan sneered, "Grandmother promised? Does Second Uncle think I'm a fool?"

Xie Donghai snorted coldly, "If you don't believe it, you can go ask Master Song."

Xie Donghai just said it casually, but just as he finished speaking, he saw Master Song walking in. He was immediately delighted, "Lan girl, this is Master Song. I didn't expect that you two are so destined to meet in Zuixianlou."

Xie Lan was really surprised to see the person coming. Could it be that this person knew that she refused to get into the bridal sedan, and he was unwilling to give up, so he came to find her in person?

"Miss Xie, since the documents have been signed and the marriage has been filed with the government, you cannot regret it. If you don't want to be a concubine, I can make you my wife after you give birth to a son."

Mr. Song was indeed unwilling to give up. Although he had many concubines and visited many brothels, he had never seen a woman with such an outstanding appearance.

Xie Lan's face sank, and before he could speak, a familiar voice came from behind him, "Master Song is really forgetful. He even forgot who his concubine was."

When Song Yanwu saw the person coming, his expression suddenly changed, "What do you mean, Lord Xiao?"

Xiao Jin did not reply. After entering the private room, he first gave Xie Lan a look that said "leave everything to me", and then turned to Song Yanwu.

"I wonder if Mr. Song knows Mr. Zhou from Minshi County? I heard that the girl named Liu you married not long ago looks very similar to Mr. Zhou's wife who died in the fire. I wonder if this is true?"

No one else understood Xiao Jin's irrelevant words, but Song Yanwu knew it very well.

The Minister of Justice was threatening him.

What did he mean by "heard"? It was obvious that he knew that he had taken a fancy to Mr. Zhou's wife and wanted to take her as a concubine, but she refused to comply. In order to get Liu, he took Liu away while Mr. Zhou was out, and set fire to Zhou's house, making it look like Liu was burned to death.

Although Song Yanwu didn't know how Xiao Jin knew about this, the look in Xiao Jin's eyes when he looked at Xie Lan just now made him realize that he had been coveting someone he shouldn't have.

He took the concubine document from Manager Song and tore it into pieces. Then he smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Lord Xiao. I have been so busy lately that I did remember it wrong.

The one I married was not the eldest daughter of the Xie family, but the third and fourth daughters of the Xie family."

Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe both changed their expressions, while Xie Yu and Xie Yan's eyes widened. "Master Song, what nonsense are you talking about? How can we be concubines? You are obviously marrying our eldest sister!"

Song Yanwu glanced at them calmly and then withdrew his gaze, saying in a cold voice, "Second Master Xie, Third Master Xie, you are the ones who accepted the betrothal gift from my Song family. It is natural that I am marrying your daughter. It has nothing to do with Miss Xie."

It’s the last day of 2024.

The new year has just begun and the years are as new as ever. I wish that all the academies will get what they want and have a smooth journey in 2025.

Thank you for your support, love you guys!
