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

Chapter 96 Shocking Secret
It is so quiet in Mingsong Hall that you can hear a pin drop.

All the maids and servants stared at the wife of the Yongchang Marquis's son with wide eyes.

What shocking secrets did they hear?
The Crown Prince’s wife…actually has an affair with her father-in-law, Marquis Yongchang?
The old lady was horrified. Could they afford to offend the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion? Was this damned girl trying to kill the Xie family? The old lady desperately winked at Xie Lan, signaling her to apologize to the wife of the Yongchang Marquis's son.

But Xie Lan looked indifferent and ignored him.

Zou was panicking. Seeing her mother-in-law looking at her suspiciously with a dark face, she quickly reached out and slammed the table.

"How outrageous! I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Xie family would be as fond of gossiping as those lowly gossipers in the market. She was indeed raised in a Taoist temple, she has no knowledge of rules and etiquette, and is extremely vulgar.

Madam, is this how you, the Xie family, treat guests? You allow your eldest granddaughter to slander my wife?"

The old lady originally wanted Xie Lan to apologize, but when she winked, the damn girl pretended not to see it. Now she was being scolded by the prince's wife, and she was also angry.

"Lan girl, if you don't know how to speak, just shut up. You know you can't read a single word, but you still want to make a fool of yourself. You can't even praise others."

The Second Madam was ready to take advantage of Xie Lan. She had finally managed to get into the Marquis of Yongchang's Mansion, and this damn girl must have come here specifically to go against her.

"Lan girl, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to the Crown Prince's wife!"

Xie Lan didn't bother to pay attention to the Second Madam and looked straight at Zou who was staring at him.

"The Crown Prince's wife said that I was spreading rumors. Why don't you check your head and tell me who was slandering you or me?"

Zou's face changed and she pinched her palms tightly with her nails.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang glanced at her daughter-in-law like a knife, then turned to look at Xie Lan, "I wonder what Miss Xie means by this?"

Zou was panicking and forced a smile, "Mother, forget it. I heard from the second wife of the Xie family that Miss Xie grew up in a Taoist temple. No one taught her and she couldn't read a single word.

She originally just wanted to praise her daughter-in-law, but she had no parents to teach her since she was a child, so she didn’t know the rules and etiquette, and she couldn’t speak well, which led to the misunderstanding. "

The wife of Marquis Yongchang felt depressed. She originally thought that Miss Xie had no one to discipline her, which was why she used inappropriate words.

But she knew her daughter-in-law's temper too well.

Qiajian is competitive, arrogant, and narrow-minded. If she is really misunderstood, she will never let it go, let alone settle the matter peacefully.

Now she is speaking nice words to Miss Xie, contrary to her usual behavior. I'm afraid she really has something to hide.

"Really? I think Miss Xie has a very dignified demeanor. She doesn't look like those illiterate gossipers who only know how to spread rumors."

Zou's heart tightened, knowing that she was too impatient. She wanted to explain further, but was afraid that she would be suspected of being covert.

Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were disgusted with each other, Xie Lan added fuel to the fire.

"The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang is indeed very discerning. She is not like others who are obviously good-looking but blind. What a pity."

Xie Lan's praise did not make the wife of Yongchang Marquis happy. Reason told her that no matter what doubts she had in her heart, she should wait until she returned home to investigate.

But she just couldn't help but ask Xie Lan, "Miss Xie, what's wrong with my daughter-in-law's head?"

Zou didn't expect her mother-in-law to ask more questions, "Mother..."

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang interrupted coldly, "Why are you so anxious? I have to ask clearly. If Miss Xie really wronged you, you have to make them kowtow and apologize to the Marquis of Yongchang."

Zou groaned in her heart, but she could not think of any excuse to stop it.

The old lady and the others were also anxious and winked at Xie Lan.

But that damn girl didn't even look at them.

"Mrs. Yongchang Marquis really wants to know?" "Miss Xie, you'd better tell the truth. If you say anything slanderous about my Yongchang Marquis Mansion, I, the wife of the Yongchang Marquis, will never let it go."

The old lady and the second lady wanted to smooth things over, but were forcefully blocked by Madam Yongchang.

"Since Madam Hou wants to know, I will tell you directly. The other day I saw a butterfly-playing-peony-inlaid-jade hairpin in Linglong Pavilion and wanted to buy it.

But the servant of Linglong Pavilion said that the customer designed the pattern himself and took it to Linglong Pavilion for custom making, and it is not sold to the public. "

I originally thought that the waiter was unwilling to sell it to me because the price I offered was too low. I was thinking of raising the price a little to get the hairpin, but the customers who didn’t want to customize it came and took it away.”

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang gritted her teeth and asked, "Did you see who took the hairpin?"

Xie Lan showed a hesitant look, hesitating but not saying anything.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang was angry and annoyed, "Just say it directly. If you are wrong, I will forgive you."

Xie Lan's lips curled up slightly, that's exactly what you wanted to hear.

"Then I'll tell you straight, the one who took the kingfisher hairpin was a servant. He got on a carriage with the emblem of your Yongchang Marquis's Mansion on it. I heard someone say that the person sitting in the carriage was the Yongchang Marquis."

Seeing Zou looking at him with shock and anger, Xie Lan wanted to pounce on her and strangle her to death.

"The Marquis's wife is really good to you. That kingfisher hairpin is worth 18,000 taels. The Marquis personally drew the design and customized it for you, and you gave it to your daughter-in-law.

The relationship between you and your daughter-in-law is as good as that between sisters. It is really enviable."

"Miss Xie is young, but her eyesight is not good. This hairpin of mine was custom-made at Jinfulou, not Linglong Pavilion."

Xie Lan smiled perfunctorily, "Customized by Jinfulou? Fine, if you say so, then so be it."

After that, he glanced meaningfully at the butterfly-playing-with-peony-and-green-jade hairpin on Zou's head.

Anyone could tell that the hairpin Xie Lan saw in Linglong Pavilion was the one worn on the head of the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang did not believe Zou's words at all, but she knew that even if she went to Linglong Pavilion to check, she would not be able to find anything. Because Linglong Pavilion attaches great importance to the privacy of its guests, if a guest has instructed not to disclose the guest's information, Linglong Pavilion will never tell her who the person who ordered the item is.

Jinfulou is the property of Zou’s mother’s family and will only side with that bitch Zou.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang was in a state of confusion, and she almost couldn't help but slap Zou in the face. The nanny beside her was afraid that she would make a scene without caring about it, so she had to pull her sleeve hurriedly.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang wanted to go back to the mansion immediately to check whether Zou had hooked up with her husband. But she also knew that she was so angry that she didn't suppress the matter. She had to be patient and save some face.

"Old lady, your granddaughter has never been taught by her parents since she was young. She has a good appearance but it has gone astray. Not only is she rude, but her eyesight is also bad and she can't even say words of praise.

If the old lady doesn't teach you well, no one will dare to marry the girl from your Xie Mansion. And the reputation of your son will be affected by her, and it will be difficult for him to find a wife."

The old lady's face became more and more ugly, but she did not dare to offend the wife of Marquis Yongchang, and had to put on a smile.

"Madam Hou, my granddaughter does need some discipline, but she is still filial. My legs and feet have not been feeling well lately, and she even said she would massage my feet."

As he said this, he turned his head and glared at Xie Lan, "Lan girl, you are young and skillful, why don't you massage Madam Hou's feet too."

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang looked down on her. Foot massage was a job only done by lowly maids. However, the old lady of the Xie Mansion humiliated her own granddaughter to please an outsider like her. This was throwing the face of the Xie Mansion under her feet for her to trample on.
