Chapter 150: Big News in Zheng Mansion

Xie Lan was confused. What was going on?
She could understand why Mrs. Deng and Master Deng knelt in front of her.

But this lady doesn’t look like a member of the Deng family, so she can’t be here to thank her for curing Mr. Deng’s leg, right?

It was not until the other person raised her face and Xie Lan saw her face that he understood why this lady knelt to her.

"You're kneeling before me, are you begging me to save your son?"

Mrs. Dong was a little nervous at first, but when she saw Xie Lan's gentle tone, she felt relieved.

Seeing Master Deng standing next to him with a smile on his face as his legs had recovered, he thought of his son at home.

Dong's eyes were red, and she kowtowed heavily, "Miss Xie guessed correctly, I really want to ask you to save my son."

Xie Lan saw that Dong was a weak person, and she wondered how much courage it took for her to rush out and beg her in public.

"Don't kneel anymore. Stand up and talk." Xie Lan said gently, and then gestured to Deng Qinglan, "Why are you still kneeling? Help your mother and brother stand up."

Mrs. Deng originally had many more words of gratitude to say, but she knew that Mrs. Dong was anxious to get Xie Lan to save her son, and she didn't want to waste time, so she quickly stood up.

"Miss Xie, since you have something to do, I won't delay you.

I will prepare a generous gift tomorrow and come to thank you." After a pause, Deng said, "If possible, I also hope that Miss Xie can help Dong and cure her son."

Others might think that Dong was too humble to kneel before Miss Xie, but Mrs. Deng could fully understand her feelings.

She knew too well how painful it was for a mother to have her son in trouble.

In order to save their son, they would not complain even if they were asked to die, let alone kneel down.

"No need for a generous gift, your daughter has already paid for the divination.

If you really want to express your gratitude, then go to Sanqing Mountain and donate some money for incense.

After all, if I hadn’t learned the mysterious arts at Sanqing Temple, I wouldn’t be able to help your son.”

Now Mrs. Deng regarded Xie Lan's words as an imperial decree, and she happily agreed to whatever was said.

"So Miss Xie learned the mysterious arts in Mount Sanqing. Then I should really go and give some money to the temple."

Deng Yihong seldom went out since he was a child because of his leg problems. If it weren't for his mother's soft and hard tactics, he would not have come to the banquet this time.

But now that my legs are better, I naturally want to walk more often.

"Mom, I'll go with you. Thank you, Miss, for healing my leg. I should go and thank your master in person.

If he hadn't devoted himself to teaching Miss Xie, I would have been a cripple who was laughed at by others for the rest of my life."

"Okay, okay, you can accompany me on this trip in a few days." Mrs. Deng was naturally happy that her son was willing to accompany her on a long journey.

But Xie Lan shook his head, "Mr. Deng is thoughtful, but the imperial examination is coming soon. You should concentrate on preparing for the exam first, and then go to Sanqing Mountain after you pass the high school entrance examination."

Mrs. Deng's eyes widened. What did Miss Xie mean by this?
Her son will go to high school?

Xie Lan smiled but said nothing.

Mrs. Deng felt like she was going crazy with joy. In the past, she prayed day and night only for her son's legs to be cured, and she never dared to think that her son could take part in the imperial examination.

But now, not only have her son's legs recovered to normal, but he can also take part in the imperial examinations, so it is not impossible for him to become an official in the future.

Mrs. Deng was so happy that she planned to deal with the concubine in the mansion as soon as she returned, and then go to Sanqing Temple to add incense money.

Although her son could not accompany her, Mrs. Deng was not sad at all. She hoped that her son would stay in the mansion to study hard and go to Sanqing Mountain in person to thank Miss Xie's teacher after the imperial examination.

Xie Lan smiled and turned to look at Dong, "Aren't we going to save your son? Lead the way."

Mrs. Dong was stunned at first, but then she was overjoyed after she realized what was happening.

She just begged Miss Xie, but she didn’t say whether it was to save her son.

Seeing that she was talking to Mrs. Deng, she became anxious but did not dare to disturb her.

I thought Miss Xie was unwilling, but I didn't expect that she had misunderstood.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll take the girl there right away." Xie Lan was about to leave with Dong.

Unexpectedly, the man who curiously asked her what she was doing with the knife at the beginning fell to the ground.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said with lingering fear, "Emma, it turns out that you are really treating Mr. Deng's leg, not killing him. I am really scared to death."

Xie Lan was both amused and confused. This man's reaction time was really long. It took him so long to react.

However, when he saw the servant next to him crying with red eyes while holding a kitchen knife, he knew that he had scared the man badly, and felt a little guilty.

"I just borrowed the young man's knife, but I haven't paid him yet. Tiechui, give him a hundred taels."

Mrs. Deng was about to leave when she immediately waved her hand to stop Tiechui, "Miss Xie is doing this for my son, we should pay for it."

Seeing that Master Deng had already given the banknote to the servant, Xie Lan did not insist any further.

The boy had not expected such a good thing to happen, and he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing while holding the banknotes. The pain in his waist and legs were no longer weak, and he even forgot to be afraid.

Xie Lan smiled, turned around and followed Dong.

But after walking a few steps, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

Looking back, Xie Lan saw a long line of men and women following him. He said speechlessly, "Why are you all following me?"

What to do? Of course, just follow and watch the show.

Everyone gave Xie Lan a knowing look, then looked at Dong with a smile on their faces.

"Well, do you mind if we go to your house to visit the young master?"

Dong's husband's family is just a merchant family. The reason why she came to Hou Mansion today was because her cousin saw that she was always crying secretly because of her son's affairs, so she brought her here to relax.

She wanted to refuse, but these guests were of distinguished status and she couldn't afford to offend any of them.

Seeing that Dong was at a loss, Dong's cousin Guo hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over, "Don't mind, don't mind. It's a blessing for my nephew that you can visit him."

"Cousin, this..."

Seeing Dong's worry, Guo hurriedly whispered, "Don't worry, your mother-in-law will be so happy to see you meet so many distinguished guests that she won't blame you."

Mrs. Dong thought her words made sense, "My cousin is really thoughtful."

Mrs. Dong agreed that everyone should go, so Xie Lan naturally would not object.

When they arrived at Zheng's house, Old Madam Zheng was angry because Dong did not take her to the banquet at Hou's house.

It can be seen that since she brought back so many distinguished guests, how could anyone dare to be angry? They were even busy fawning on her.

But the girl next to her, who was dressed up in fancy clothes, looked unhappy and said to Dong in a sarcastic tone, "Cousin, after so many years, you have become uglier and uglier, but how come you still don't understand anything.

You brought so many guests back, but you didn't send anyone to tell your aunt in advance. The mansion didn't make any preparations at all. It's really rude."

Being ridiculed in public, Dong was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, but she had always been weak in character and was used to being bullied by her husband's cousin, so she could only swallow her anger.

Seeing that she didn't dare to say anything, Zhou Yingying looked down on her even more.

When Guo saw her cousin being bullied, she was about to speak up to defend her, but she was a step too late.

Xie Lan glanced up and down at Zhou Yingying and said disdainfully, "You don't look that good-looking. Even if you take off all your clothes and climb into a man's bed, he won't even look at you."

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the guests behind Xie Lan lit up. There really was something big going on in the Zheng Mansion. It was worth it for them to follow him shamelessly.
