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

Chapter 99
After Xie Donghai was awakened by the old woman who delivered the message, he immediately got out of bed and put on his clothes and shoes.

Peng was interrupted from her sweet dream and said unhappily, "What's wrong with your mother? She won't let me sleep. It's not enough to serve her during the day, and she's making trouble at night."

Xie Donghai was also unhappy, but thinking that she was his mother after all, he couldn't lose his temper, "Alright, alright, there are so many maids and servants that you don't need to serve them, just go and take a look, hurry up."

Mrs. Peng suppressed her anger and got out of bed to put on her shoes. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she suddenly screamed.

Xie Donghai was startled and turned back impatiently, "What are you screaming about?"

Peng's face turned pale with pain, and she held her feet and yelled, "It hurts so much, it hurts so much, my feet hurt so much."

Xie Donghai thought something happened to her foot, but when he looked down, he didn't find anything unusual. He thought she was pretending and yelled at her in dissatisfaction.

"What are you making a fuss about? Mom is so old and something happened to her. I just asked you to go over and take a look. Are you pretending to be sick?"

Although her feet were clearly in excruciating pain, she did not appear to be showing any abnormalities. Peng was already panicking, and after being scolded by Xie Donghai, she became even more shocked and angry.

She couldn't help wanting to quarrel with him, but before she could open her mouth, her feet suddenly started to itch, as if millions of ants were biting them.

Peng subconsciously reached out to scratch, but she didn't expect that the more she scratched, the more itchy it became. In a blink of an eye, her feet were bleeding from her scratches. She rolled on the bed and wailed in pain, and banged her head against the wall.

Xie Donghai was stunned. He ordered someone to call a doctor, and called the maids and servants to find a rope and tie up Peng.

Even though she was trapped like a dumpling, Mrs. Peng still rolled around on the bed in agony, wishing she could chop off her own feet with a knife.

The second house's yard was in a mess.

The old lady is also living a life worse than death.

My feet not only hurt, but they were also hot and cold.

Sometimes the pain goes deep into the bone marrow, sometimes it feels like being boiled in a frying pan, and sometimes it feels like being soaked in ice water.

When Xie Lan arrived, he saw a group of maids and servants busying around, using a hot water bottle to warm the old lady's feet, and then soaking her feet in cold water.

Seeing Xie Lan, Liu secretly glanced at Nanny Sun.

"Young lady, how could you harm the old lady so badly...ah..."

Seeing Nanny Sun rushing towards Xie Lan with an angry look on her face, Tiechui's face turned cold, his body dodged quickly, and kicked with his long legs.

Nanny Sun immediately fell to the ground with a scream.

Xie Dahe was originally distressed about the old lady, and he could not help but be furious when he saw this, "Lan girl, you are really lawless. You have caused my grandmother so much misery and you have no intention of repenting. You even dare to indulge the maid to beat people. Do you think no one can control you?"

"I'm sorry that I can't admit the crime that Third Uncle has accused me of. May I ask which dog eye of Third Uncle saw me harming my grandmother?"

Nanny Sun didn't expect Xie Lan's maid to be so bold. After all, she was the old lady's confidante, yet she dared to kick her in public.

"My dear, the old lady's feet were originally fine. You must have tampered with them when you massaged her feet at noon."

Yes, that's right, she did do something. But there is no evidence, and even if you guessed it, you can't do anything to her, and it won't make you angry to death.

"You said I did something, and you were there at the time. Who saw it?"

Nanny Sun looked at Nanny Zhao meaningfully, "Who knows if there's anything fishy in the water you use to wash your hands?"

"The water I used to wash my hands was made by Madam Zhao. Are you saying that Madam Zhao and I conspired to murder my grandmother and tampered with the water for washing my hands?"

Nanny Sun's suggestive words made Nanny Zhao both shocked and angry.

He knelt down in front of Xie Changting and said, "Master, I am innocent. I have served the old lady all my life and have always been loyal to her.

I swear that I absolutely did not tamper with the water used by the young lady to wash her hands, nor did I attempt to murder the old lady. Please understand, Master."

Xie Changting looked at Nanny Sun with a gloomy face, "You said that the eldest girl harmed the old lady, do you have any evidence?"

Nanny Zhao looked guilty.

"Although I have no evidence, who else would harm the old lady except the eldest girl?"

Xie Lan sneered, "You are slandering me. The old lady is my grandmother. Why would I harm her?"

"It's because you resent the old lady for humiliating you and asking you to massage the feet of the wife of Marquis Yongchang and the wife of the Crown Prince. You hold a grudge against her, so you take revenge on the old lady." Zhu glanced at Nanny Sun calmly. What an idiot.

"Grandmother, do you also think that I am holding a grudge against you because you humiliated me, and took advantage of the time when I was massaging your feet to take revenge on you?"

The old lady lowered her eyes and said nothing. No matter how she answered this question, it would be wrong.

If she said yes, and this matter got out, she would be drowned in spit.

Xie Lan is the eldest daughter of the Xie family after all, but she humiliated her own granddaughter in order to please the Yongchang Marquisate.

This was not only a humiliation to Xie Lan, but also a slap in the face of Xie Changting. It was putting the reputation of the entire Xie family under the feet of the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who could trample on it at will.

But if she said no, then Xie Lan would have no reason to harm her.

The old lady was also convinced that it was Xie Lan who did something, but she had no evidence and could do nothing about it.

Xie Dahe realized that whatever the old lady said was wrong, so he could only vent his anger on Tiechui, "Come here, drag this evil slave away and beat him to death with sticks."

Xie Lan's eyes were cold, "You are really my good uncle. I am your niece. Nanny Sun committed an insubordination, but instead of punishing her, you wanted to beat my maid to death.

Those who don't know the truth may think that Nanny Sun is your biological niece."

"Madame Sun is your grandmother's servant after all. She has served your grandmother for most of her life. Even if she did something wrong, your grandmother would punish her. But you, a maidservant, hit people as soon as you came..."

Xie Changting was already unhappy, and Xie Dahe's words made him even more upset, "Third brother, Mom's matter is urgent, send someone to urge her, why hasn't the doctor come yet?"

Seeing that Xie Changting intended to protect Xie Lan, Xie Dahe was dissatisfied, but he did not dare to offend him.

All the clinics were closed in the middle of the night, and several servants were sent out before a doctor came.

After a thorough inspection, Nanny Sun asked casually, "Could it be caused by massaging the feet?"

The doctor frowned and shook his head, "Pinching the feet for massage? That shouldn't be the case. Even if the force is wrong, the most it will cause is swelling and bruising. How can it be painful at one moment and cold at another?"

"But there was nothing unusual about our old lady today. Except for the eldest girl massaging her feet, everything else was the same as usual."

Seeing the doctor frowning and saying nothing, Xie Lan stood up and said, "Dad, since some people suspect that I hurt your grandmother, I will give you a massage too, so that the doctor can see if it's my fault."

"Nonsense, don't you think it's not messy enough? What if your father's feet have problems too!"

Liu originally thought that Xie Changting would not agree, but unexpectedly he frowned, glanced at Xie Lan, turned around and sat aside, and asked the servant to take off his shoes and socks.

Xie Lan asked Nanny Zhao to fetch some water, and after washing her hands, she began to massage Xie Changting's feet.

After a series of demonstrations, Nanny Sun couldn't wait to ask, "Doctor, do you think there's something wrong with the way the young lady is kneading?"

The doctor glared at her and yelled, "You old woman, don't talk nonsense. The young lady's technique is not only fine, but also has many benefits.

It can not only warm the meridians and nourish the kidney yang, but also relieve fatigue, improve sleep, and even expel accumulated toxins from the body.”
