Chapter 257 Revenge
Chapter 257 Return for Revenge
Xie family.
Today was a holiday, and except for Xie Changting who was temporarily called away by his boss to run some errands, no one else went out.
It was lunch time, and everyone from the first to the third room gathered in the flower hall in the main courtyard, chatting with the old lady while waiting for the maids to serve the meal.
Xie Yu was originally making the old lady happy, but suddenly he smelled a long-lost fragrance. He immediately stopped talking and turned to look towards the dining table with a look of surprise.
"Hey, why do I seem to smell the scent of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"
As the words fell, the aroma became more tempting, and Xie Yu couldn't help swallowing.
At the same time, I was surprised and happy.
Why is there Buddha Jumps Over the Wall today?
Could it be that she hadn't eaten good food for a long time and so she was hallucinating?
Xie Yuan's throat moved quickly, unable to hide his surprise, "I smelled it too, and it seems there is also a lion's head?"
Xie Rui from the second room and Xie Mao from the third room were still young, and their stomachs were already growling with hunger. They had a keen sense of smell and also smelled the fragrance, and they couldn't help jumping up and down with excitement.
"Ahhh, I smell it too. It smells so good."
"Dongpo pork, Dongpo pork... Mom, is there still my favorite Dongpo pork?"
"Roasted deer tendons, I smell roasted deer tendons, I want to eat them, I want to eat them."
When the siblings Xie Yu and Xie Rui saw the sumptuous dishes, their eyes were almost glued to them and they couldn't move their eyes away.
Xie Ying couldn't help but swallow her saliva quietly when she smelled the aroma. Although she was also very greedy, she was dignified and didn't shout like Xie Mao and the others.
But when she glanced around the dining table, her brows furrowed.
Although the Xie family was not wealthy, they had lived a good life in the past and could often eat all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.
However, ever since Xie Lan returned to Beijing and took away all the money in the family, the food in the mansion has become worse and worse. Not to mention the delicacies from land and sea, they can hardly even afford the cheapest pork.
But now, the cook actually prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes, all of which were everyone’s favorites in the past.
The more Liu looked at it, the more confused she became.
She was in charge of the household, and she arranged the meals for the three meals a day in the mansion. She did not ask the cook to prepare these dishes at all. What was going on with these dishes?
Seeing the puzzled faces of Liu's mother and daughter, Xie Donghai looked very pleased with himself. He said to the children, "Don't worry. The cook has prepared all the food you like today. Just eat as much as you want."
Xie Rui was surprised and asked, "Dad, is it true?"
Seeing his son so surprised, Xie Donghai thought of the three hundred taels of silver and the good things in the Tinglan Pavilion's storehouse, and smiled: "Of course it's real. From now on, just ask the cook to make whatever you want to eat."
Now, not only Xie Rui was delighted, but Peng's mother and daughter were also secretly planning. After the meal, they would go to Tinglan Pavilion and move the precious items in the warehouse back to the second room.
Xie Dahe was thinking in his mind that with those good things in Tinglan Pavilion, he could use them as a betrothal gift in the future to marry a noble lady from a prominent family who would be helpful to his career.
Even the old lady was smiling. Her arm had finally recovered after being broken. Now that the dead girl was gone, she no longer had to worry about being killed by her.
Not only did she want to take back the silver that the dead girl had stolen, but she also wanted to take back the silver that she had earned herself.
Just thinking about it made the old lady very happy.
"Okay, let's eat quickly."
The brothers Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe also had a tacit understanding. They both wanted to take advantage of Xie Changting's absence to finish their meal as soon as possible and go to Tinglan Pavilion to move their things away.
Just as everyone was happily preparing to enjoy their meal, a familiar voice was heard from the door of the hall.
"Hey, everyone is here? Looks like I came back just in time."
Although these words were spoken lightly, the old lady was so frightened that she knocked over the bird's nest in her hand.
If in the past, the old lady would definitely feel distressed if she knocked over this fine bird's nest. But at this moment, she didn't care about these things at all, and glanced at the door in panic. Seeing the people outside the door, Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe also changed their faces in shock.
What's going on? Why is this damn girl back?
Xie Lan glanced around the hall and did not miss the panicked expressions of the crowd.
She sneered secretly. Are you scared now? She hasn't even started to retaliate yet.
Seeing Xie Lan, Liu's eyes sparkled, "Lan girl, where have you been these past two days? Why haven't you come back? You are a girl, but you don't come home at night!
It's fine if your own reputation is ruined, but don't bring down the reputation of your sisters."
Xie Lan glanced at Liu, and stared at Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe, "Why didn't I go back home these two days? Mother, why don't you ask your second and third uncles?"
Xie Donghai's heart tightened, but his face was full of dissatisfaction. He slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the table with a snap, "Lan girl, how do we know why you didn't come back home? You didn't come home at night and made trouble outside. Do you want to blame me and your uncle?"
Xie Dahe also glared at Xie Lan, "You have behaved improperly. After returning home, you did not say that you would reform yourself, but you are so disrespectful to your elders. I don't know how your master raised you."
“What a fool you are!” Xie Lan sneered, suddenly reached out and picked up the plate of Dongpo pork on the table, and smashed it directly at Xie Donghai.
Xie Donghai had never expected that she would attack him without saying anything. He had no time to dodge and was hit on the forehead. He screamed, and warm blood mixed with grease covered his face.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, and the hall fell silent in an instant.
Xie Lan did not stop. After hitting Xie Donghai, he picked up the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall with an expressionless face and smashed it on Xie Dahe's head with his backhand.
With a crisp sound, blood appeared on Xie Dahe's head.
Brothers Xie Yuan and Xie Rui stood up and angrily said to Xie Lan, "Big sister, are you crazy? Why can't you just talk it out? You actually dared to hit an elder. Do you really think we don't dare to hit you?"
Xie Lan looked at the brothers Xie Yuan and Xie Rui coldly, with a hint of sneer on his lips: "Elders? Are they worthy? For what they did, I didn't kill them, which was already a mercy."
Xie Yuan was so angry that his face turned red: "You are totally unreasonable! No matter what, they are still our elders. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for being so disobedient?"
Xie Rui also glared at her from the side: "Big sister, you are really going too far. What did my father and Third Uncle do to make you take such a heavy hand?"
"I went too far? My second and third uncles put drugs in the cakes I ate and sold me to Lei Tangzhu of the Beast Gang for three hundred taels. Shouldn't you call them worse than beasts?"
Xie Yuan frowned, "My father and Third Uncle sold you out? What nonsense are you talking about? If this is true, then how did you come back?"
"Why are you back?" Xie Lan smiled sinisterly, "Master Lei was killed by a fierce ghost, and even after his death, the ghost king ripped out his heart and lungs. All his brothers were struck to death by the thunderbolt, not a single one was left, and all their souls were shattered.
So, I’m back.”
Xie Lan did not say what she came back for, but Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe's faces changed again. They knew very well that she came back for revenge.
