Chapter 33 You have to pay the price for taking her things

Xie Changting was heartbroken after losing 12,000 taels of silver.

Thinking that Xie Lan's luggage had been seized by the old lady, he was afraid that she would make trouble again, so he hurriedly ordered the servant to go to the old lady and ask for it back.

This time I got it back successfully.

But when she saw the bag that was in a mess, Nanny Zhang's face turned ugly.

She held her breath and checked each one carefully.

But the more I checked, the angrier I became.

"Miss, the jade that Cui Yu Tang's boss Liu gave, the box of gold and silver that Yu Feng Long's boss Shen gave, and the dozen pieces of silk and satin and skirts that Zhang Xiu Niang gave, are all gone."

How dare you covet her things? It seems that the Xie family is tired of living.

Xie Lan handed the ten thousand taels of silver that he had cheated from Xie Changting and Liu to Tiechui, signaling her to keep it.

He walked straight towards the old lady's Mingsong Hall.

When Nanny Zhang spoke, she did not avoid Xie Changting's servant. He looked at Xie Lan's receding back and felt a little panicked.

This girl had been sent to Sanqing Mountain for foster care for more than ten years, and when she came back, she caused a lot of chaos. Even the master and Liu Shi were helpless with her, and she even asked for 10,000 taels of silver notes.

The old lady took her things, and the young lady would definitely not let it go.

Thinking of the eldest girl's fate of having bad luck with relatives and friends, the servant became more and more uneasy and hurried back to the main courtyard.

"Master, the old lady took the eldest girl's things, you should go and take a look."

Xie Changting frowned, "Didn't I ask you to get it back for her? The old lady didn't give it to her?"

"The old lady only gave back part of it, and left some behind."

Xie Changting was a little puzzled. Xie Lan came back from Sanqing Mountain. She had lived in the Taoist temple for more than ten years. Apart from Taoist robes, clothes, shoes and socks, she probably brought some dry goods from the mountain.

What could be worth the old lady's risking her dignity to stay?

When Liu heard the servant's words, she immediately thought of the box of gold, silver and jade. She opened her mouth and then closed it again.

"Master, the old lady took away..." The servant originally wanted to say that the old lady took away the eldest girl's gold, silver and jadeite, but Liu interrupted her before he could finish.

"Master, the eldest daughter brought back some mountain products from Sanqing Mountain. I guess the old lady thought that the eldest daughter couldn't cook, so she planned to give them to the kitchen."

The servant wanted to say that it was not a mountain product, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Liu staring at him warningly, so he had to swallow his words.

Xie Changting was still feeling bad about the ten thousand taels of silver, and when he heard that it was just some mountain products, he didn't care at all.

In Mingsong Hall, the old lady is having dinner.

When he saw Xie Lan coming in, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.

However, when she thought that this was her granddaughter, the old lady's guilty feeling disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Lan girl is here again. You must be tired after traveling for such a long time. Go back and rest first. Come back to talk to grandma another day if you have anything to say."

Xie Lan didn't show any anger on his face. He glanced at the sumptuous food on the table and said calmly, "Grandma, I'll get my things."

The old lady paused and said, "Didn't I ask Mammy to take all your luggage back? There is nothing for you here."

Haha, you are trying to play dumb.

Are her things so easy to get?

Xie Lan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "One box of gold and silver, eight pieces of jade, fifteen pieces of cloth, and thirteen sets of dresses are missing."

The old lady's face darkened. She didn't expect Xie Lan to be so blunt.

"You are a little kid, it's not safe to keep these things with you, you could lose them if you're not careful. Grandma will keep them for you, no one dares to do anything bad with them. When you get married, grandma will give them back to you."

Nanny Zhang didn't expect the old lady to have such a face. After all, she was the mother of a seventh-rank chief clerk, and she was willing to take away such a small thing from her eldest granddaughter.

Xie Lan was unmoved, "Old lady, I will be an adult in a year, so please don't keep my things for me." The old lady was unhappy. She thought that if someone was not kept by her side, it meant that he was not close to her. He didn't even call her grandma. It was really rude.

Mrs. Zhao, who was serving beside her, had a twinkle in her eyes and interrupted, "Young lady, it's getting late, and you must be hungry. Why don't you go back and have your meal first? We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

The old lady didn't say anything, thinking secretly. Now that the things are in her hands, this damn girl can't take them away. At worst, when she comes to ask for the things tomorrow, she can say that they were all stolen.

There's nothing this damn girl can do even if she's angry.

Xie Lan looked at the old lady's calculating expression, not only was she not angry, but she smiled and said, "It was my granddaughter who was ignorant and disturbed my grandmother's meal."

She smiled, suddenly raised her hand to take off a jade pendant hanging on the edge of her skirt, and handed it to Tiechui.

Then he walked towards the old lady and said, "Grandma, I have never been filial to you in all these years. Why don't you let me serve you food today and show my filial piety to you?"

For some reason, the old lady felt a chill in her heart when she heard Xie Lan calling her grandmother.

It can be seen that her smile was gentle and her attitude was respectful, and the uneasiness in her heart disappeared.

This is because he saw that the thing was in her hand and was afraid that she would not be willing to give it back, so he wanted to please her.

The old lady nodded with a smug look on her face, "Since you are so kind, then you can serve the dishes. It's a good opportunity for you to learn some etiquette, so that you won't be disliked by your mother-in-law when you get married in the future."

Xie Lan nodded obediently, "Yes, Grandma."

Tiechui held the jade pendant in his hand, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

I hope the old lady will still be able to laugh later.

Xie Lan stood beside the old lady, picked up the serving chopsticks on the table, picked up a meatball and put it in the old lady's bowl.

The old lady wanted to take the opportunity to find fault with Xie Lan's manners, but she was busy counting the box of gold and silver and missed the usual meal time.

Seeing her favorite four-happiness meatballs, she couldn't help feeling hungry.

The old lady was going to fill her stomach first before finding fault.

The old lady usually eats a lot of these meatballs, but today, for some reason, the meatball just entered her mouth and before she could chew it, it slid inside.

It just happened to get stuck in my throat.

Can't swallow, can't spit out.

The old lady's face turned red instantly, and Nanny Zhao was so scared that she quickly patted her on the back.

I didn't expect that the more I took pictures, the deeper the meatball got stuck.

Seeing the old lady's face turning blue and purple, the maids and servants who were serving her were terrified.

Xie Lan suppressed the corners of his slightly raised lips, then stepped forward to pull away Nanny Zhao, and raised his hand to pat the old lady on the back.

Seeing Xie Lan slapping harder and harder, Nanny Zhao felt pain just watching.

She wanted to step forward to stop them, but she was afraid that if the old lady really died, Xie Changting would blame her.

After slapping her seven or eight times in a row, seeing that the old lady was about to suffocate, Xie Lan swung his arm and slapped her hard.

This time she did it with skill, and the four-happiness meatball finally came out of the old lady's throat.

After escaping death, the old lady turned pale with fright.

Xie Lan raised the corners of his lips and picked up the soup bowl beside him, "Grandma, drink some soup to calm your nerves."

The old lady was so frightened that she took the bowl of soup.

Unexpectedly, the old lady almost choked to death as soon as she took a sip of the soup...
