Chapter 80: Eating in prison
Chapter 80: Eating in prison
Seeing that Fan Mingju had gotten into such a big scandal, the maids and servants in the Fan mansion were worried that they would be punished by Fan Congjin and Xue.
When they heard that Butler Fan wanted to put the blame on Xie Lan, they were naturally happy to have someone take the blame. But no matter whether it was she who harmed Fan Mingju or not, they all rushed towards her viciously.
After finishing his meal, Xiao Jin did not leave, but hid quietly in a big tree in the distance.
Just as he was about to signal Yang Feng to come forward to help, Tiechui rushed out from nowhere and beat the maids and servants who wanted to capture Xie Lan in a few strokes, making them cry for their parents.
Xie Lan didn't expect that he would be accused of such a serious crime just after he arrived.
Although it was indeed she who did it, calling her a witch is intolerable.
"Everyone knows what kind of person your son is. He can't control his own crotch and fell in love with that sow and wanted to have sex with her. How can you blame others for this?"
Butler Fan's face was gloomy. "My young master was originally fine. If it weren't for you, a witch, who harmed him, how could he do such a thing?"
Some people who were watching the excitement couldn't bear to watch, relying on their numbers, they mixed in the crowd and shouted, "How can it not be done? Everyone knows that Master Fan loves to deceive those young girls who are not deeply involved in the matter. Now he is targeting an old sow, which is not surprising."
Butler Fan was so angry that his face turned blue and black, and he wanted to catch the person who made the sarcastic remarks.
How could Xie Lan let him have his wish? "Butler Fan, since Master Fan has had physical contact with that pig, he must not let it down. Shouldn't he marry it with a matchmaker?"
The crowd roared with laughter.
Xue, who had just rushed back after hearing the news, saw Fan Mingju being fished out by the guards. His face was ashen and he gnashed his teeth in hatred.
"Who killed my son?"
Fan Mingju had caused such a big scandal that the servant who served him was afraid that he would be beaten to death by Xue, so he pointed at Xie Lan and said viciously.
"Madam, this Miss Xie came to Beijing alone from the countryside to look for her relatives, but the cousin she was looking for had already moved away.
The young master felt sorry for her because she was helpless and was afraid that she would fall into the hands of evildoers, so he kindly took her back home, intending to let her settle down first and then help her find her relatives.
Who would have thought that she would be so ungrateful that she drugged the young master and even used witchcraft to murder him."
Xue was furious, “You little bitch, my son was trying to help you out of kindness, but you were so vicious and wanted to harm him.
Today, I will seek justice. Come, take this bitch to the Dali Temple."
An orphan with no one to rely on dared to make her son look so ugly. She would definitely skin this bitch alive.
Xie Lan claimed to be an orphan just to dig out the big melon in the Fan Mansion. Now that she has confirmed the secret in the lotus pond in the Fan Mansion, there is no need to hide her identity anymore.
"Who said I was an orphan who came to Beijing to look for my relatives? My father is Xie Changting, the chief clerk of the Imperial Household Department. Not only are my grandmother and stepmother still alive, but my second uncle, third uncle and others are also alive and well. I have a lot of brothers and sisters at home. What kind of relatives am I looking for?"
The servant's face changed drastically. This girl actually deceived him and the young master.
Xue had a look of disdain on her face. A higher-ranking official could crush a person to death. The Chief Clerk of the Imperial Household Department was only a seventh-rank official, while her master was a sixth-rank official of the Dali Temple.
She originally wanted to ask the Imperial Concubine to help her son marry a noble lady, but now this bitch has ruined her son's reputation. If she doesn't kill her, she will not be able to get rid of the hatred in her heart.
Several concubines had already found out that Xie Lan was coaxed back by Fan Mingju, so naturally they didn't want another person to compete with them for the position of the principal wife.
Liu Xiangxiang saw that Xue wanted to destroy Xie Lan. If she could help Xue, she might allow Fan Mingju to make her his principal wife.
Even if she couldn't, she helped Xue. Even if Fan Mingju married a wife in the future, it would not shake her position as a concubine.
"Miss Xie's family is still alive, but she lied that she was an orphan and asked my master to help you find your relatives. In fact, she was attracted by my master's family background and wanted to take the opportunity to seduce him."
After being rejected by my master, you were still unwilling to give up and secretly drugged him in order to climb into his bed. "Fan Mingju's concubines usually fought overtly and covertly, and when Liu Xiangxiang spoke up, the other concubines were unwilling to fall behind.
"Our young master is a man of high rank and noble character. After knowing that Miss Xie had drugged him, he righteously rebuked her. I didn't expect Miss Xie to hold a grudge against him and actually used magic to destroy him."
Xie Lan didn't say anything. She waited until the concubines had finished throwing dirty water, then she gestured to Tiechui, "Hit me hard, don't show mercy."
Tiechui had long wanted to take action when a few concubines dared to slander her daughter.
Almost as soon as Xie Lan finished speaking, there was a series of slaps.
Tiechui was skilled in martial arts and his movements were quick. After he had slapped the concubines, they finally reacted.
Liu Xiangxiang covered her swollen cheeks, aggrieved and angry, "Miss Xie is shameless. When seduction failed, she drugged and harmed me. What right do you have to hit me?"
Xie Lan sneered, "Why do you hit people? As Fan Mingju's concubines, you saw me drugging him, but you neither stepped forward to stop me nor sent anyone to save your son.
"You watched him have sex with an old sow and even took to the streets to make a scene, ruining your son and the reputation of the Fan family. Shouldn't you have beaten him?"
Liu Xiangxiang's face changed. They were so busy slandering that they forgot about this. Now that the dirty water has been thrown, it's too late to go back on it.
Even though I was annoyed, I had to give up.
Xie Lan sneered, thinking that the matter was over after being slapped?
"Madam Xue, your son's concubines watched him get killed without saving him. Why do you still keep them around? Why don't you beat them to death?"
Xue glared at the concubines angrily. Although she knew that Xie Lan was biting back on purpose, she still couldn't help but vent her anger on these bitches who were always vying for favor.
Seeing Xue's cold eyes, they thought she was really going to order the execution. A timid concubine knelt down in fear and begged for mercy, "Madam, please spare me. We didn't see Miss Xie drugging the young master to kill him."
"I didn't see it. So you guys were all lying just now? Tiechui, someone is slandering your daughter. What do you think we should do?"
Tiechui didn't say anything. He jumped up quickly and kicked all the concubines into the lotus pond one by one.
"Madam, help me, I can't swim."
Xue watched several concubines struggling in the water but did not send anyone to rescue them.
She wished they were all dead so that she could arrest Xie Lan and throw her to jail and kill her.
Fan Jincong, who had just rushed back, had the concubines rescued.
Xie Lan killed his son, not because he wanted to let her go, but because he was worried that those concubines would die and he would be impeached by the Censorate and lose his job.
Several concubines struggled in the water. Although they did not die, they all fainted after being rescued.
Fan Jincong waved at the guards, "Come here, Miss Xie turned love into hatred, and poisoned my son to death, and also wanted the maid to drown my concubine.
Such evil deeds should be sent to the Dali Temple for a thorough trial."
Fan Jincong's face was stern, but Xie Lan was not afraid and laughed, "The Dali Temple Secretary wants to arrest me and take me to the Dali Temple?
What a coincidence! I was just thinking of sending your whole family to Dali Temple to eat jail food."
