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

Chapter 58: Revealing All Her Secrets

Fang Yingying pinched her palms tightly with her nails. Who on earth is this Miss Xie? She even knows this!

Everyone present couldn't help but be curious. How many people were involved in this picture of Liuxian?

Behind the crowd, a woman in her forties was preparing to leave quietly.

Xie Lan suddenly shouted, "Lu Xiu Niang, now that you're here, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?
You are in such a hurry to leave, are you rushing back to destroy the evidence?"

Mrs. Tao was surprised. "Mrs. Lu Xiu Niang is here too? Isn't she busy making clothes?"

Everyone followed Xie Lan's gaze.

Lu Xiu Niang clasped her hands together, quietly suppressed her panic, then raised her eyes to look at Xie Lan.

"Young lady, you are joking. I just saw that Madam Tao hadn't come back for a long time and I was a little worried, so I came to see her."

Lu Xiu Niang said evasively, then looked at Tao Niang and said, "Since you have something else to do here, you go ahead and do it. I'm going back to Meiyunfang."

Without waiting for Madam Tao to finish her words, Lu Xiuniang turned and left. If one looked closely, one could see that her steps were clearly anxious.

But as soon as he took a step, he was blocked by an iron hammer.

"Lu Xiu Niang, I haven't even finished what I'm saying. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Lu Xiu Niang looked unhappy, "What do you mean, young lady? I don't know you at all, there is nothing to say.

I have to hurry back to Meiyunfang to make clothes for the eldest daughter of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion. If I am late, Miss Yang will blame me. Can you bear it?"

Xie Lan hasn't spoken yet.

The Princess of Shouguang County snorted at Lu Xiu Niang and walked over to her. "Why did you steal my blueprint?"

"County Lady, I am innocent. The painting of immortality that Li Xiu Niang gave me was a painting of lotus flowers."

"Nonsense, the picture of Liuxian I drew for you was of plum blossoms."

Lu Xiu Niang looked at Li Xiu Niang who suddenly appeared and blurted out, "Why are you here?"

Xie Lan answered her with a smile, "I invited you here."

Lu Xiuniang wanted to grab Xie Lan's smiling face. Why was this little bitch everywhere?

Li Xiu Niang frowned, "Lu Xiu Niang, I gave you the Plum Blossom Immortal Painting, not the Lotus Painting."

"Does Li Xiu Niang suspect that I have stolen the county lady's drawings? The county lady and I have no grudges against each other. It makes no difference to me whether I am embroidering plum blossoms or lotus flowers.

Why would I secretly change the drawings? It won't do me any good.

You handed me the drawings that day, but I hadn't had the time to look at them before the nanny at home came to tell me that my baby had a high fever and convulsions. I was in a hurry to go back to take care of the child, so I put the drawings in the embroidery basket and left.

When I go back to Meiyunfang, the first thing I see is the painting of the immortal lotus.

However, I remember that when I left that day, only Miss Yuan was left in the embroidery room. This matter…"

What Lu Xiu Niang said seemed to be just a few ordinary words, but in fact, they were full of hidden intentions.

First, she stated that she had no grudge against the Princess of Shouguang County and that she had no reason to steal the blueprints. Then she pointed out that her child was sick and she was so anxious that she didn't care about the blueprints.

But in the end, it was said that after she left, Miss Yuan was the only one left in the embroidery room.

Combined with her hesitant look, it was clear that she was intentionally misleading people, making people suspect that Yuan Ruhui had secretly replaced the drawings.

Lu Xiu Niang had a good idea, but unfortunately she met Xie Lan. "Either you suspect me or you stole the county lady's blueprint." Xie Lan exposed all of Lu Xiu Niang's secrets mercilessly in front of her murderous gaze.

"As for the reason, first, you are jealous that Madam Tao is younger than you, but has become the manager of Meiyunfang. Second, you originally wanted to make a Liuxian skirt for the Princess of Shouguang County so that you could get a reward from her, but you didn't expect that Madam Tao gave the Princess's clothes to Li Xiu Niang.

Because of this, you resented Madam Tao, and were jealous that Li Xiu Niang's embroidery skills were better than yours, so you secretly replaced the county lord's drawings and framed Miss Yuan.

You know that the county princess doesn't like lotus flowers, but you still embroidered lotus flowers on the dress she designed herself.

In this case, the county lord will definitely be dissatisfied.

When the matter gets out of hand, in order to appease the county lord, Princess Kang will definitely remove Madam Tao's management rights, and even Miss Yuan will be kicked out of Meiyunfang.

And you, naturally, will have the opportunity to become the housekeeper's wife."

Lu Xiu Niang's eyes were filled with poison. "I have never met you before. How much benefit did Madam Tao give you to allow you to go against your conscience and slander me like this?"

"Madam Tao, I have worked hard in Meiyunfang for many years. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. But I didn't expect you to throw dirty water on me just for your own daughter.

You are so despicable, it really chills my heart. I found out that Yuan Ruhui stole the blueprints of Meiyunfang, and I helped you cover it up.

If I had known that you and your daughter would frame me, I would not have been so stupid and would not have considered you in every way. "

Xie Lan sneered, "Come on, you sound so innocent, you are just trying to help your daughter make money and seize the position of Meiyunfang manager."

Lu Xiu Niang's pupils shrank, and she dug her fingernails into her palms tightly. "That's nonsense. I only have sons, not daughters."

Mrs. Tao frowned. She originally thought that it was really Lu Xiu Niang who stole the blueprints. However, "Xie Xiao Miss, Lu Xiu Niang really doesn't have a daughter."

Li Xiu Niang and Yuan Ruyi also nodded. They had never heard that Lu Xiu Niang had a daughter.

Xie Lan smiled and dropped a big bombshell, "You have all been deceived. Lady Lu has a daughter, Fang Yingying."

Li Xiu Niang opened her mouth wide, and quickly realized something was wrong, "But Lu Xiu Niang's husband's surname is Zhang, not Fang. How can Fang Yingying be her daughter?"

Xie Lan smiled and said, "Because Fang Yingying is the daughter of Lu Xiu Niang and her ex-husband."

Even Madam Tao widened her eyes in surprise. She had never heard that Lu Xiu Niang was married for the second time.

Lu Xiuniang looked at Xie Lan as if she had seen a ghost. How on earth did she know such a secret matter?
When she was young, she went to visit her eldest sister-in-law who had married far away and fell in love with a young man named Fang. Despite her family's opposition, she secretly eloped with him.

But the good times didn't last long. After Fang Yingying was born, her husband had an affair with a rich girl. The girl wanted to be the principal wife because her family was rich, and her husband agreed for the money.

She divorced in anger and took Fang Yingying back to her parents' home.

She was only eighteen years old that year, and her parents naturally would not let her live in her parents' home with her child for the rest of her life.

Her family kept her elopement a secret and no one else knew about it.

After returning, her parents gave Fang Yingying to a childless couple from another place to adopt, and then married her to the Zhang family.

It was not until three years ago that she gave birth to two sons for the Zhang family and gained a firm foothold.

He then secretly brought Fang Yingying and the couple to the capital, and bought a house for them without telling anyone.

The Zhang family members are not good people. If they knew that she had eloped with someone else and had a child, they would definitely not forgive her.

Lu Xiu Niang glared at Xie Lan angrily, "You bitch are so cruel. You slandered me like this. You will not die well."

Xie Lan's expression also turned cold, and he took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, "This is a mantra talisman. The person who is stuck with it will answer any questions. No matter what secrets are hidden in their hearts, they will confess them."
