Chapter 93 Her things are not so easy to calculate
"There's an embroidery needle on the horse?" Xiao Jin lowered his eyes and glanced at the embroidery needle that Yang Feng had padded with a handkerchief, then turned to look at the couple, "Were you assassinated by your enemies?"
"Impossible." The man frowned and said firmly, "My husband and I are just ordinary people. We have always been kind to others and never made enemies with others.
I have never had any quarrels with my neighbors, let alone any enemies.”
The couple didn't know Xiao Jin. Seeing that he looked so noble, the woman was afraid that he wouldn't believe her, so she hurriedly explained, "Sir, we live in Xiguan Lane in East City.
My husband's last name is Chen, and the neighbors are all familiar with my family. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around, and you'll know if we're lying."
Xiao Jin didn't say anything, his eyes moving back and forth between the couple's faces.
Xie Lan said, "No need to check. I believe you and your wife are telling the truth."
Mrs. Chen's eyes were full of surprise, "Young lady, do you really believe what we say?"
Xie Lan nodded, "Yes, luckily nothing happened to me, you guys can go now."
The couple was surprised and delighted. They had originally thought that someone would be killed when their carriage hit Xie Lan. They had even prepared themselves to pay a large sum of money as compensation.
Unexpectedly, this girl was lucky enough to be rescued.
The girl didn't seem to blame them at all and let them go so readily.
Xie Lan was generous. The couple felt guilty and told her to come to them if she felt unwell. They would pay for the medical expenses.
Xiao Jin saved Xie Lan. The couple were very grateful to him and thanked him again and again before leaving.
After all, if he hadn't taken action, whether Xie Lan was killed or disabled, he and his wife would not only have to pay compensation, but might even go to jail.
After everyone left, Jiukong Bridge returned to peace.
Xiao Jin looked at Xie Lan with his hands behind his back, "Miss, how can you be sure that this incident has nothing to do with that couple? Could it be that this incident is actually directed at you?"
Xie Lan glanced at him. She didn't expect that this Mr. Xiao was so smart.
She did guess that this incident was directed at her.
The frightened horse of Princess Lanyang was caused by someone who wanted to harm her, and she just happened to be unlucky enough to encounter him.
As for the couple that hit her carriage from behind, Xie Lan looked at their faces and calculated that it had nothing to do with them.
It was even possible that the couple were implicated by her, and the person behind the scenes deliberately shot the embroidery needle at their horses with the intention of hitting her to death or crippling her.
As for who was behind the plot, Xie Lan couldn't figure it out.
"Young lady, you are very good at fortune-telling. Why didn't you figure out who wanted to harm you?"
Facing Xiao Jin's suspicious gaze, Xie Lan argued, "It's not that I'm not good at my mystical skills, but it's the same reason why doctors don't treat themselves."
Xiao Jin was silent for a moment, "I can't figure it out, is there anyone who suspects you? Do you need me to check for you?"
"No need. The person who did it didn't succeed, so he will surely look for another opportunity to do it. I don't believe he will be so lucky to escape every time."
It's not that she didn't want to take revenge. The other party attacked secretly, retreated after missing the first blow, and used the embroidery needle that can be seen everywhere on the street.
Not to mention that she didn't catch the man on the spot, even if she did, the man would not admit to harming her.
After all, it wasn't her horse that was hit by the embroidery needle.
Although Xie Lan didn't know who it was, she had just returned to Beijing and didn't know many people. The people behind the scenes were probably the ones whose true identities she had revealed.
Young Master Xiao was just a businessman, and he had just saved her, so Xie Lan didn't want to implicate him.
She has to solve her own problems.
Seeing that Xie Lan refused, Xiao Jin said nothing, glanced at her lightly, and left with Yang Feng.
Tiechui came over and said, "Miss, this time I was careless..."
Xie Lan waved his hand to interrupt her, "Don't blame yourself, it was intentional, this kind of thing is hard to guard against. But next time I catch the person who did it, I will beat him back hard."
Although what happened today was thrilling, Xie Lan didn't take it too seriously. She didn't even change her itinerary.
As planned, I went to Shuyuzhai to buy yellow paper and cinnabar, and went to the silk shop to buy some cloth.
She even deliberately wandered around the street for half an hour, but unfortunately the person behind the attack was too cautious and did not show up again. When she returned to the mansion, a maid came to tell her that the old lady asked her to have dinner together in the main courtyard.
Xie Lan was originally too lazy to deal with that whole family, but when she thought of her suspicion of Xie Changting, she changed her mind.
When I arrived at the flower hall in the main courtyard, I took a casual look and found that everyone was there.
It seems like he's just waiting for her?
Xie Lan originally thought that someone was going to pick on her again, but she was wrong.
After she paid her respects to the old lady and the others, all her younger brothers and sisters greeted her politely.
Xie Lan raised his eyebrows and glanced at his second uncle who was sitting next to him with a gloomy face, and Xie Yu who was sitting behind his second aunt with a sad face and hair wrapped in a small floral cloth. He understood what was going on.
Are everyone remembering the incident of being struck by lightning in the ancestral hall, so they dare not jump in front of her?
This won’t work. If no one comes out to cause trouble, how can she dig up the big melon of the Xie family?
When everyone was present, Liu told the maid to serve the food.
Xie Lan thought that he would be eating another bland porridge and side dishes.
Unexpectedly, the meal was quite rich. Even the old lady and the third lady had a bowl of bird's nest in front of them.
Seeing that the maid brought a cup in front of him, Xie Lan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
I picked up a spoon and stirred it, but didn't find anything wrong. I looked at the other dishes and they were all normal.
Xie Lan was relieved, thinking that maybe it was because his second uncle and Xie Yu finally came out of the ancestral hall today that the old lady invited everyone to the family dinner?
When the old lady said to pick up the chopsticks, Xie Lan picked up the bird's nest, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth.
Finding it tasted good, she simply picked up the stew pot and drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down the spoon, Xie Lan casually asked the old lady, "Grandma, did your family make a fortune? We are eating bird's nest today, and the dishes are so rich."
The old lady paused, her eyes flickered, and she was about to speak.
Xie Yu was already gloating, "Big sister, the family hasn't gotten rich. Thanks to you today, these bird's nests and wild game are gifts from Shouguang County Princess to thank you."
Xie Lan raised her eyebrows and said that the food was so delicious today. It turned out that all the food was hers.
It's so good.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the second lady said hypocritically.
"The eldest lady is not angry, it's just some food, and we don't have it all to ourselves. We specially waited for you to come back before we started eating.
You just finished eating the bird's nest."
Xie Lan glanced at her dimly, raised his hand to take off the jade pendant from his waist, and handed it to the hammer behind him.
Zhao Mama watched her movements and remembered that last time Xie Lan served food to the old lady, he also took off the jade pendant. Somehow, she was startled.
"Second Aunt, you are joking. Second Uncle and Third Sister just came out of the ancestral hall today. They should have a good meal to celebrate. Come on, everyone, give a toast to Second Uncle."
Seeing Xie Lan holding up the wine cup, everyone stood up as well.
Xie Donghai was filled with anger. His father and daughter were struck by lightning and were punished to kneel. Is this a good thing? This is not a celebration, it is a slap in his face!
Just as he was about to lose his temper, the old lady secretly stopped him. He could only stand up reluctantly with the wine glass in hand.
Nanny Zhang felt that she was worrying too much.
Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, I saw Xie Donghai suddenly stumble and fall onto the table... and as luck would have it, he knocked over the entire table of food.
