Chapter 94 I wish I could strangle that damn girl

When Xie Donghai fell, the whole table collapsed, and the food on the table fell to the ground with a bang.

Everyone was caught off guard and were all splashed with the soup and water.

Only Xie Lan dodged it nimbly, leaving his body clean and spotless without a speck of dirt.

“Oh, Uncle, are you dissatisfied with me? Just tell me, why did you spill all the food?

Fortunately, your niece wanted to celebrate with everyone that you and your third sister have come out of the ancestral hall.”

When the second wife saw Xie Donghai lying on the collapsed dining table, shaking with anger, she quickly took her three children to help him up.

Seeing Xie Donghai’s teeth grinding, Xie Lan didn’t give up.

“Uncle didn’t say anything. Could it be that he was still blaming me for not kneeling before the ancestral tablets, so he knocked over the food?
Grandmother, how about I go to the ancestral hall and kneel down there?”

Xie Changting frowned briefly, then quickly returned to his calm state.

The old lady’s heart tightened. She was panicked when she thought of what happened last time. How could she dare to let this disaster star kneel in the ancestral hall?

It was luck that we were able to suppress the incident of the ancestral hall being struck by lightning last time.

If it happens again, I will definitely not be able to hide it.

Thinking of the consequences if the emperor knew that the Xie family ancestral hall was struck by lightning, the old lady could not control her panic and despair.

He quickly gave Xie Donghai a look.

Xie Donghai clenched his fists in anger, his heart filled with rage, but he didn’t dare to vent.

The last time the thunderbolt was so powerful, it really frightened him. And what happened just now, he was fine, but when he stood up, his legs suddenly hurt. He couldn’t even stand, and he was strangely pressed down on the table.

Could it be that he was really cursed by this dead girl?

Seeing the old lady anxiously winking at him again, Xie Donghai had to suppress his anger, “Lan girl, you misunderstood, Second Uncle is not dissatisfied with you.

“My second uncle didn’t mean to knock over the food. He just had a sudden sharp pain in his legs and couldn’t stand for a moment, so he accidentally knocked it over.”

The second wife looked at the messy food on the floor and felt so angry that her heart ached. Ever since that damn girl took away all the money in the palace, the meals in the mansion were all watery and bland, which made people lose their appetite.

Seeing that the Shouguang County Lady had people send so many wild game delicacies to the dead girl, she took a lot of effort to persuade the old lady to take them to the big kitchen to cook. However, they were all knocked over before she could take a bite.

She didn’t dare to get angry.

The Second Madam knew how serious the incident of the ancestral hall being struck by lightning was, so she didn’t dare to let Xie Lan kneel in the ancestral hall again.

He forced a smile and said to Xie Lan, “Lan girl, your second uncle injured his leg while kneeling in the ancestral hall, so he accidentally knocked over the food. He is not dissatisfied with you.”

Xie Lan looked at Xie Donghai with a worried look on his face, “Second Uncle really doesn’t blame me?”

“No.” Xie Donghai clenched his fists and almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth.

But Xie Lan still felt that it was not enough, and he smiled brightly, “I know that Second Uncle is not a petty person. Since Second Uncle has injured his leg by kneeling, he should go back and have a good rest.

“My leg hasn’t healed yet, so I can’t eat too much meat and fish. I have to eat a light diet, otherwise my leg injury will relapse and that will be bad.”

“Thank you for the reminder, little girl Lan. I’ll go back and change my clothes first.”

Xie Lan smiled and waved his hand, “Go ahead, go ahead. If you have any dissatisfaction with your uncle in the future, you can just tell him directly. Don’t take it out on the food.

It’s such a shame that everyone finally had a good meal and it’s wasted like this.”

Xie Donghai turned around with a dark face and left quickly. He was afraid that if he didn’t leave, he would be unable to help but strangle the damn girl to death himself.

Xie Yu bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth. She wanted to tear Xie Lan’s beautiful smiling face, but she was afraid that this bitch would harm her as well.

Her mother said that her father had injured his leg while kneeling, which was why he knocked over the food, but Xie Yu didn’t believe it.

Because her grandmother asked her mother to secretly take the medicated oil to the ancestral hall every day and rub it on her and her father, and the old woman guarding the ancestral hall was also bribed by her mother.

Although she and her father stayed in the ancestral hall for a few days, they did not kneel all the time, and there was not even a bruise on her legs. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. As soon as the second lady saw Xie Yu’s expression, she knew that her daughter hated Xie Lan, and she hated him too.

But that damn girl is really too evil. If they confront her directly again, they will not get any benefit at all.

Be patient for now. We must take a long-term approach to dealing with this damn girl.

The Second Madam was worried that Xie Yu would offend Xie Lan again, so she took her away under the pretext of changing her clothes.

The third wife and her husband were very quiet today. When they saw that everyone from the second wife had left, they also left with their children.

The old lady looked at the messy food on the floor, feeling angry and distressed.

But she couldn’t say anything and had to put on a smiling face and explain to Xie Lan.

“Lan girl, don’t be angry with your uncle and aunt. It’s because grandma saw that the food in the mansion has been too light recently. Your father has to be busy with official business every day, and grandma is worried that his body can’t stand it.

That’s why I thought of cooking the food that the county lady sent, so that you can replenish your body and everyone can have a good meal at the same time.

If you want to blame someone, blame it on grandma for not being able to take care of the family properly, leaving everyone without even a decent meal to eat.”

Xie Lan sneered. It was just a little food, and she didn’t care about it at first. If they greeted her first and then took it away, she wouldn’t be reluctant to let everyone eat it.

But every time, he took her things without even saying hello. It would be fine if he just took her things, but he also bullied her in a sarcastic way.

“What is grandma saying? Why don’t I understand? When did I blame my uncle and aunt? I didn’t spill the food. Dad has to work and support the family, which is really hard.

It’s just a little food, it’s my duty to show filial piety to my father.

But, how come I didn’t know that the Shouguang County Lady gave me something? I am the eldest daughter of the Xie family after all, and everyone took my things as they pleased without even telling me. They didn’t take me seriously at all.”

The old lady seemed quite pleased with the first half of the story, but when she heard the latter part, her expression darkened again.

“You misunderstood, little girl Lan. I had the things sent by the Princess of Shouguang County delivered to your yard.

I was afraid that the food would go bad, so I asked someone to bring it to the big kitchen and cook it for everyone.”

Thinking of those delicacies, the old lady felt heartbroken.

After all the planning, she didn’t even get to eat a single bite. Except for the damn girl who was quick and drank a bowl of bird’s nest, the others only smelled the odor but didn’t get to eat half a bite.

Nanny Zhang stood silently behind the old man. She had a feeling that this matter was related to the eldest girl, otherwise how could Xie Donghai have such a coincidence to knock over the whole table of food.

Seeing the indifferent smile on the eldest girl’s lips, Nanny Zhang quietly lowered her eyes and pretended she knew nothing.

The older girl was too weird, she didn’t dare to mess with her.

The old lady asked the maids to clean up the spilled food and sent someone to the big kitchen to tell them to prepare a new meal.

The old lady was worried that Xie Lan would take away the food sent by Shouguang County Lady, so she asked the kitchen to prepare it all.

There was no food left in the big kitchen, so they could only quickly cook some simple noodles and send them over.

No one from the second house came this time, only the old lady and people from the first and third houses were there.

Faced with the white noodles without even a strand of meat, everyone felt like chewing wax.

Xie Lan was not hungry, but she was in a good mood and ate with gusto.

The old lady looked more and more heart-attacked.

　This time I went to a different hospital to treat my cervical spondylosis, and the doctor’s advice was to use less electronic products.
