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

Chapter 291 Disgraced
"Grandmother, who said that I was the one who sold my second uncle and third uncle to Chunfenglou? It was clearly my second uncle and third uncle who ordered a large table of food and wine at Zuixianlou, but they had no money to pay the bill, so they had to use the money they earned from selling their bodies to pay the bill at Zuixianlou.

This matter has nothing to do with me. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my second brother and the others.”

"Silly girl, don't quibble. How could your second uncle and the others sell themselves? It must be you who did it." The old lady didn't believe Xie Lan's words at all.

He glared at her fiercely and said, "Hurry up and take out your silver and go redeem your second and third uncles immediately."

The person was sold by Xie Lan, how could she possibly pay out of her own pocket to redeem him?

"Grandma, don't tell me I don't have that much silver. Even if I did, I can't redeem it."

The old lady disagreed. She had already asked Xie Yuan and knew that Chunfeng Tower only spent a few hundred taels to buy her two sons.

"Don't worry about ransom. As long as you pay me one thousand taels, I will send someone to bring your second uncle and his family back."

Xie Lan sneered, "Grandmother, Chunfeng Tower is not an ordinary place. If you want to redeem someone from him, let alone one thousand taels, I'm afraid you can't redeem even one person with ten thousand taels."

Knowing that the old lady didn't believe it, a servant came back from outside. Xie Lan recognized him as the servant next to Xie Donghai and smiled immediately.

"Grandmother asked Ding Mo to go to Chunfeng Tower to inquire, right? You might as well ask him first how much money Chunfeng Tower will charge to redeem your second and third uncles."

As soon as the old lady learned that her two sons had been sold, she asked Ding Mo to go to Chunfeng Tower to inquire.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ding Mo didn't even need the old lady to speak, and took the initiative to say, "Old lady, I went to Chunfeng Tower to inquire, and it would cost a total of 100,000 taels to redeem the second and third masters."

"How much?" The old lady's shocked voice almost blew off the roof of Mingsong Hall.

Mrs. Peng and the maids and servants present all stared at Ding Mo in disbelief.

Ding Mo was not surprised at all that they were so shocked. After all, when he heard Chunfeng Tower's offer, he was a thousand times more shocked than they were.

"One hundred thousand taels."

The old lady had suspected that she had heard it wrong before, but she heard it clearly this time, but she still didn't believe it, "How could it be 100,000 taels, Ding Mo, you must have heard it wrong. Think about it carefully, how much silver did Chunfenglou say?"

Ding Mo was helpless, but he also knew that this was indeed hard to believe, so he could only explain patiently.

"Madam, I heard it right. Chunfeng Tower did ask for 100,000 taels. I specifically asked around. The reason why Chunfeng Tower offered such a high price is because the Liao Kingdom's envoys went to Chunfeng Tower, and someone happened to take a fancy to the Second Master and the Third Master."

Ding Mo paused, looked up and glanced at the old lady, then continued hesitantly, "Those Liao envoys not only specifically asked the second and third masters to serve them, but it is said that... they also praised the second and third masters for their good skills and served them very comfortably.

Therefore, the Liao envoys decided to bring the second and third masters back to Liao when they set off tomorrow to serve them. "

Xie Lan’s eyes widened, his face showing the same shock as the old lady’s, but in his heart he thought he deserved it.

However, Xie Lan felt that this matter was a bit too coincidental. How come Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe were just sold to Chunfeng Tower when the Liao Kingdom envoys arrived? Not only did they specially select them to serve, but they also planned to take them back to the Liao Kingdom?
Xie Lan naturally didn't know that the Liao envoys were specially led there by Xiao Jin, with the purpose of targeting Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe.

Xie Lan was his junior sister and the candidate for his wife. Knowing what Xie Donghai and his brother had done, how could Xiao Jin let them go easily? Not only did he specially have someone guide the Liao envoys to Chunfeng Tower, but in order to let Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe serve the envoys who liked gay men, Xiao Jin also ordered Yang Feng to secretly give them drugs to help them have sex.

That was not all. When the Liao envoys were doing their work, Xiao Jin secretly ordered people to create a small accident, allowing many people to witness with their own eyes how Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe were pinned down by those muscular envoys.

The old lady didn't know that this matter had been spread by Xiao Jin, and both of her sons were ruined.

Knowing that the Liao envoys were going to take Xie Donghai and his brother away tomorrow, the old lady immediately became anxious and yelled at Xie Lan fiercely, "You damn girl, bring your silver here right now."

Xie Lan turned a deaf ear to the old lady's words and sat leisurely drinking tea.

The old lady almost exploded with anger, but she could do nothing about it. She could only grit her teeth and shouted at the maidservants beside her: "Someone, go to Tinglan Pavilion immediately and get the silver for me!"

Xie Lan didn't even blink as he pulled out the sword with a hammer swish and with a bang, he split the ebony round table inlaid with mother-of-pearl next to him in half.

The master and the servant didn't say a word, but everyone understood their threat. None of the maids dared to move.

The old lady was angry and helpless, but she didn't dare to scold Xie Lan anymore. She could only yell at Mrs. Peng, "Hurry up and take out the silver to redeem the second son!"

"Mom, how can we in the second house have any money?" Mrs. Peng was still counting on the old lady to pay for her leg treatment, so she was not willing to pay out of pocket.

The old lady glanced at her coldly and simply ordered the maids and servants, "Go to the second and third rooms and move all the valuables here." She also called a servant and said, "Go find a grocery store owner to come here."

The old lady wanted to sell all the belongings from both houses in order to redeem her two sons.

But he also knew that even this was not enough, so he ordered Liu, "Whatever money you have left in the treasury, bring it all over. Also, bring over all the silver you have, and take as much as you can."

Liu had been hiding many things from the second and third wives. When she found out that Xie Donghai and the other had secretly promised Xie Lan to the Song family without telling her, she was furious. How could she be willing to take back all the money to redeem her?

It’s not that Liu felt sorry for Xie Lan, but she was dissatisfied with the fact that the second and third houses divided up all the betrothal gifts given by the Song family, but did not give anything to the first house.

"Mother, there are only a little over a hundred taels left in the treasury, and I only have a few dozen taels. Even if my daughter-in-law gives you all of it, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket and is not enough to redeem my second and third brothers."

How could the old lady not know that Liu didn't want to redeem her two sons at all.

"Liu, I'm not dead yet. It's not your turn to make the decision in this family! Bring me the silver quickly, and have someone notify Chang Ting to come back quickly."

Seeing that the old lady was about to sell off the things of the second and third rooms, Xie Lan glanced at Mrs. Peng and deliberately added fuel to the fire again.

"Grandma, you sold everything, but you didn't leave any money for Second Aunt to heal her leg? Wouldn't Second Aunt become a paraplegic who can't walk in the future?"

Xie Lan's words hit the nail on the head for Peng.

Thinking of the fact that Xie Donghai was slept with by those Liao envoys, Peng's face twisted with disgust. Since the old lady is so unkind, don't blame her for being unjust!
