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

Chapter 73 Drowning Three Times
"Master Dou, my little girl Lan has suffered a lot since she was a child in order to learn the mysterious arts. Fortunately, this girl is quite hardworking and has quite good skills."

The old lady was just about to mention the fortune-telling fee in a tactful way, but she heard Xie Lan's voice from outside the door, "Grandma, since you know how much I've suffered since I was a child, why don't you feel more sorry for me?"

The old lady didn't expect that Xie Lan would come over so quickly just after the maid who delivered the message left.

For fear that he would ask her for money again, he did not dare to mention the fortune-telling fee again.

Xie Lan glanced at her calmly, then bowed to Dou Qian, "Greetings, Lord Dou."

Dou Qian thought of what happened yesterday and quickly extended his hand to support her. "Thank you, Miss. There's no need to be so polite."

Seeing that she behaved neither humbly nor arrogantly, and was not as humble and fawning to him as the old lady and several daughters-in-law, he thought of her in a higher regard.

"Miss Xie, did you become a disciple at Mount Sanqing? I wonder how long you have been learning the mystical arts?"

Seeing his serious expression, Xie Lan knew that he still had doubts about her abilities, but she didn't get angry.

After all, they just met for the first time yesterday, and since it was for his son, it was only natural that he wanted to find out more clearly.

Xie Lan boasted, "I have lived in Sanqing Mountain since I was born, and my master has been teaching me the mysterious arts since I was three years old."

There was a lot of water in her words. Master Lingfeng had indeed started teaching her the mysterious arts since she was three years old.

But at that time she just wanted to be a playboy who enjoyed eating, drinking and having fun, and everything her master taught her went in one ear and out the other.

If you count carefully, she only started to study the mystical arts seriously when she was twelve years old.

Of course, there is no need to tell outsiders.

Dou Qian was surprised. "It turns out that the girl has started to study hard at such a young age. It is really rare."

Although Dou Qian was surprised, he also knew that learning the mysterious arts was not just about hard work, but also about talent.

In order to accumulate more merits, Xie Lan patiently answered his questions one by one.

As he was speaking, the gatekeeper rushed in again.

Liu suppressed her displeasure and glared at the servant, "You are unruly. If you offend a distinguished guest, you will be punished."

Dou Qian didn't want to get involved, but when he saw the boy look at him cautiously, then turned to look at Xie Lan with hesitation, he could only smile and say, "No problem."

The servant heaved a sigh of relief, "Madam, there is a young man outside the mansion, asking the young lady to save his life."

Everyone present was stunned.

The second wife couldn't help but curl her lips. The disaster star wasn't a doctor, so why did she ask her to save people? It was almost like killing people.

Xie Lan was surprised, "Who is coming? Did he say what it is about?"

"The young man said his surname was Yang," the servant paused, his expression excited, "he said he was willing to pay a hundred gold coins to ask the girl to save her life."

One hundred gold?

The old lady was overjoyed.

The second and third wives could not help but feel jealous. They racked their brains to think of no way to make money, but they did not expect that someone would offer a hundred gold coins to ask this disaster star for help. It was really unfair.

Although they were angry, they did not dare to say anything when they saw Commander Dou was present.

Xie Lan searched her mind, but couldn't remember anyone with the surname Yang that she knew in the capital.

He could only tell the servant, "Please bring the person in."

The servant agreed and left, then quickly led the visitor in.

Seeing the person coming, Xie Lan was surprised, "Guard Yang, why are you here?" Seeing Yang Feng, Dou Qian on the side was even more surprised than her.

The Prince of Changxing also knows Miss Xie?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Dou Qian's mind. Miss Xie was not a doctor, so why did she come to ask her for help? The Prince of Changxing did not look sick.

However, he has always followed that adult to do errands, so could it be that adult is the one who is sick?

But that's not right. With that person's status, it wouldn't be difficult to invite a director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, let alone a doctor.

Countless thoughts flashed through Dou Qian's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

When Yang Feng saw Dou Qian, he was no less surprised than them. He didn't expect that the commander of the East City Military Department also knew Miss Xie.

Seeing that the other party wanted to stand up and greet him, he quickly gave him a look without saying a word.

Dou Qian was confused after receiving the hint.

Why did the Prince of Changxing pretend not to know me?
Yang Feng saw the suspicion in his eyes, but seeing Xie Lan was there, he could only pretend not to see it.

Time was urgent, so Yang Feng didn't exchange pleasantries and directly stated his purpose, "Thank you, Miss. I came here rashly to ask you for help. Please follow me."

Xie Lan glanced at him but didn't move. "Guard Yang, maybe you found the wrong person? You should find a doctor for help."

Yang Feng smiled bitterly in his heart. If the doctor had a solution, he wouldn't have to come to him for help.

The old lady was dissatisfied when she saw that the visitor did not greet her politely. It was obvious that the other party was very imposing, and when she thought of the one hundred taels of gold, she was not sure what to say.

"I wonder if Miss Xie still remembers Zhao Chong? To be honest, I came here just to ask you to save him." He paused, fearing that Xie Lan would refuse, and quickly added, "Other doctors can't save him."

Dou Qian's eyes flashed. The one in trouble was the son of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion?
"Oh, it's Guard Zhao." Knowing it was Zhao Chong, Xie Lan was not surprised.

"He must have drowned."

"Yes, the lady's divination is very effective." Seeing that she didn't move, Yang Feng was anxious, "Thank you, Miss. Zhao Chong is still waiting for you to save his life. If you have any questions, I will answer them for you on the way, okay?"

Xie Lan waved his fan slowly, "Don't worry, it won't take long, I won't die."

She had seen from the beginning that Zhao Chong would drown and had warned him long ago, but he didn't believe it and was only getting anxious now. She had to make him suffer a little more.

Besides, things always come in a certain order, and she has already promised to go and settle the matter at Commander Dou's home today.

"Guard Yang, I have something else to do today. I'll go check on Guard Zhao tomorrow after I'm done."

Yang Feng became even more anxious, "Miss Xie, it's not that I'm forcing you, it's just that Zhao Chong can't wait any longer."

"How could that be?" She had seen that although Zhao Chong would drown, he still had about three months to live.

"Miss Xie, Zhao Chong drowned three times." Yang Feng was reluctant to say that Zhao Chong was haunted by a water ghost. After all, the boy was not married yet, and if the news got out, it might affect his future marriage plans.

"Drowned three times?" Xie Lan was surprised. Was Zhao Chong crazy? He should have known something was wrong after drowning once. Why did he drown three times again if he didn't avoid it?
Yang Feng was probably afraid that she might misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained, "The first time he was pulled into the water by accident, and the second time Zhao Chong was trying to save someone so he could not go into the water."

"The third time..." Yang Feng was about to say that Zhao Chong was sleeping in bed and jumped into the lake in the middle of the night. Seeing that everyone was looking at him curiously, he changed his mind when the words came to his lips.

"The third time, I don't know what happened."

Seeing that Yang Feng was intentionally concealing something, Xie Lan did not ask any more questions. Instead, he raised his hand to calculate, and soon stood up with a serious expression, "Something is wrong. Guard Zhao's life is at stake."

Xie Lan quickly pulled out a peace charm from his sleeve pocket and said, "Master Dou, I'm really sorry, I have to go save Guard Zhao first.

Take this amulet home with you and wear it close to your body. As long as you keep it with you, nothing will happen to you."
