Chapter 20 Big loss
Chapter 20 Big loss
Xie Lan was annoyed by the Liu mother and daughter's monologue and didn't want to pay any attention to them.
It was obvious that Liu was still going to make trouble, so she suppressed her anger and said impatiently, "I didn't lend money."
Liu simply didn't believe it. This little bitch could even ask her, her stepmother, to charge 3% interest for lending money, which showed that she was used to it.
"If you didn't lend money, why would others give you gold and silver?"
"How can a lady from a noble family do such a thing? You have ruined the reputation of the Xie family.
You are the daughter of the Xie family. If the news of your exploitation of the people gets out, do you know that it will ruin your father's future?"
Nanny Zhang had long disliked Liu, and she became extremely angry listening to her accusations one after another.
"Mrs. Xie, are you deaf? Can't you hear what my girl said?"
"Don't say that my daughter didn't lend money privately. Even if she did something wrong, as a mother, shouldn't you teach her a lesson in private?"
"You shouted it out in front of everyone, as if you were afraid that others wouldn't know. Who are you looking at as the fool?
You keep saying you're doing this for my daughter's good, but what you're doing is clearly ruining her."
"People say that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer. You have ruined the reputation of my daughter, so what good can your own daughter get?
Xie Ying is so unlucky to have a mother like you who is so confused...”
Nanny Zhang was a quick talker, and her words were spoken quickly and urgently, almost making Liu vomit blood in anger.
The innkeeper had long been fed up with Liu's behavior, "Mammy is right, if she is not my biological mother, I will not treat her sincerely.
When you accuse someone in public like this, people who don’t know the truth may think you are scolding your enemy.”
The shopkeeper pointed to the jade stones beside him and said, "These were sent by Mr. Liu from Cuiyutang. They said that the old lady of the Liu family went to Sanqing Mountain to have her fortune told a few days ago. Fortunately, Fairy Xie gave her advice and a bloody disaster was avoided.
Liu Dongjia was grateful and sent it to thank the fairy lady. "
"The cloth and clothes were sent by Zhang Xiu Niang from Zhang's Clothing Shop. She said she was thanking the fairy for saving her son who had been possessed by an evil spirit."
"As for the box of gold and silver, it was sent by Mr. Shen of Yufenglong Trading Company.
It is said that the fairy had helped solve the problem of the Shen family's ancestral tomb. At that time, Mr. Shen's business failed and he could not pay the money, so he could only owe it.
Now that the business is picking up, Mr. Shen learned that the fairy lady was going back to Beijing, so he came to repay the money. "
"Madam Xie, you know nothing. Even if you are the stepmother, you cannot make random accusations based on your seniority.
The fairy lady is kind-hearted and is a great benefactor to our Yushi Town.
She would never lend money privately, nor would she exploit the people."
Seeing the shopkeeper's impassioned speech, Xie Lan's mouth twitched.
In fact, she wanted to say that she was not that kind and she did those things out of selfish motives.
Whether it is fortune-telling for the living or helping ghosts fulfill their wishes, the merits gained can prolong their lifespan.
Liu's face was burning with anger and embarrassment.
She still didn't quite believe that Xie Lan had any real ability, and she didn't know what kind of seductive tricks she had used to make so many people give her gifts.
"Lan girl, as the saying goes, too much concern can lead to confusion. Mother is too anxious. I am worried that you have grown up in Sanqing Mountain since you were a child, and there is no one to teach you. You might do something inappropriate and ruin your reputation.
I'm so worried about you because it's for your own good. You won't blame me, right?"
Xie Lan looked at Liu and laughed sarcastically.
"The Xie family has ignored me for more than ten years. Now they say they are doing this for my own good. Don't you think it's too late? Since they didn't do this for me before, they don't have to do it again in the future.
I am not worthy of these good things, so I'd better leave them to your dear daughter."
Liu was extremely angry, but she knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless. She could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.
Xie Ying remained silent. God was really unfair.
As the eldest sister, her grandfather and mother died when she was born, and her grandmother broke her leg. The second and third wives also had bad luck. It was clear that she was destined to be unlucky and everyone should hate her.
How could so many people be blind!
Xie Lan noticed two unfriendly eyes staring at her. She knew it was the Liu mother and daughter without turning around.
But she didn't care.
Xie Lan didn't want to accept the thank-you gifts from everyone, but perhaps because they were worried that she would refuse, those people handed the gifts to her and left.
Xie Lan could not refuse such a generous offer, so she had no choice but to ask Aunt Zhang to accept it. Fortunately, she had bought two carriages for the convenience of traveling, otherwise, there would not be enough space for so many things.
...
Yang Feng stood below and replied, but after a long time there was no response, he looked up in confusion.
Young Master is actually...distracted?
This has never happened before.
I wonder what happened when he was leading the pursuers away?
"Sir?"
Xiao Jin came back to his senses and asked in a cold voice, "Can you please make it clear why I rented my guest room to someone else?"
"I have asked around, and Fairy Xie comes to Yushi Town to set up a stall and tell fortunes in the middle of every month. The Tianzi guest room has always been reserved for Fairy Xie.
When we first arrived at Yushi Town last time, it happened to be raining heavily and all the guest rooms except the dormitory rooms were fully occupied.
After Zhao Chong begged for a long time, the shopkeeper agreed to give up the No. 1 room.
But the shopkeeper mentioned to Zhao Chong that on the 11th, he would take back the Tianzihao and give it to Xie Xiangu to live in. "
"Has Zhao Chong ever mentioned this to you?"
"No."
Xiao Jin's expression turned cold, "Send an order back to the capital, and have Zhao Chong go to the Punishment Hall to receive fifty strokes of the cane."
Yang Feng looked surprised.
Although the shopkeeper took back the Tianzi room, he also gave the Dizi room that was cancelled by the guest to the young master.
Yang Feng subconsciously wanted to ask if the punishment was too severe, but when his eyes met Xiao Jin's expression, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He was just about to retreat.
Xiao Jin suddenly said, "Go and ask Fairy Xie to come over."
Yang Feng was surprised again, "Now?"
As soon as he said this, Yang Feng realized that he had overstepped his bounds. He immediately changed his words, "I'll go right away."
Xie Lan looked at the person in front of him in surprise, "Your master wants to see me?"
Guard Yang cupped his hands and said, "My son would like to ask the fairy to tell his fortune. Is it convenient for you?"
You can't be against anyone but you can't be against money. Anyway, I'm not sleepy now after sleeping during the day, so it's just nothing to do.
Xie Lan nodded, "Where is your young master now?"
"It's in the ground floor room next door."
Xie Lan paused for a moment before continuing to walk out.
Although the rooms in Laifu Inn were divided into different levels, it was a small town after all. No matter the scale or luxury, it could not compare with the big inns in the capital.
The Tian and Di rooms are next to each other.
No wonder that young man broke into the wrong room.
Yang Feng knocked on the door, heard the response from inside, and gestured to Xie Lan to come in.
Xie Lan walked around the screen and happened to see the young man by the window looking up at him.
The scene of the other person smashing into her barrel suddenly emerged in her mind.
It was awkward for a moment, but Xie Lan quickly recovered. He comforted himself that the young master was unconscious at the time and he probably didn't know anything about the situation.
Xiao Jin's eyes swept across Furong's little face, paused on her red lips, and then he withdrew his gaze without making a sound.
He motioned for Xie Lan to sit down and poured her a cup of tea personally.
"I was poisoned and unconscious before, and I accidentally broke into the fairy's room. I am really sorry. I wonder if I have offended the fairy?"
Xie Lan's eyebrows jumped. Not only was this abrupt, but her first kiss was taken away for no reason, and her body was also touched. She was really at a loss.
During the new book period, please support me, thank you!
