Chapter 128 Crazy Stormy Night
Chapter 128 Crazy Stormy Night
In the north courtyard, Xie Lan slowly put away the rain-praying talisman.
Tiechui looked at the heavy rain outside the window and frowned, "Miss, Xie Yan fainted."
"Fainted? Then throw her out."
"She's really lucky." Tiechui muttered, and deliberately hesitated for a long time before going out with an umbrella.
He roughly grabbed Xie Yan's arm, dragged her out of the yard gate, and threw her away.
Tiechui has always been very obedient. When Xie Lan told her to throw it away, she really threw it away without any mercy at all.
After throwing it, he turned around and left, not caring whether someone came to take Xie Yan away.
"Miss, Xie Yan replaced you to go to the Royal Academy, so is that the end of it? According to this servant, you should go to the academy and let the dean know that she stole your admission card and dismiss her directly like the third lady did."
Xie Lan smiled and raised her hand to pour a cup of tea. As she drank, she said, "Don't worry. She won't be able to study for a few days. It hurts like a blunt knife cutting flesh. Wait until she floats up to the clouds, then pull her down. That way, she will feel enough pain."
Tiechui looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Girl, you have become bad. But... I like it."
Xie Lan shook her head and laughed. She had never been a good person. In her previous life, she had been in the business world and had used even crueler methods. Tiechui only saw one side of her.
"Miss, even though the people from the second and third rooms got soaked, I'm afraid they won't sleep in the open air again."
"Don't worry, the rain will stop soon. In order to establish his authority, my father will not let them sleep in the house. At most, he will let them sleep on the floor in the corridor."
"But that would still be too cheap for them."
"How could it be? The rain will fall whenever your girl wants it to fall. It will stop whenever you want it to stop. This is the way to have fun."
It was more than exciting. The people in the second and third rooms were almost driven crazy by the torture.
They were drenched and angry, but they became happy again when they thought they didn't have to sleep on the floor outside. But before they could go back to the house, Xie Changting sent a message from the housekeeper.
Knowing that Xie Changting asked them to sleep in the corridor, the two families could only dare not speak out in order to avoid being kicked out. They tried to comfort themselves in their hearts that sleeping in the corridor at least did not have to worry about being rained on again.
They didn't have to get wet in the rain, and the heavy rain even stopped when they moved into the corridor. This made everyone even happier.
However, this happiness did not last for more than a quarter of an hour, and another downpour began to fall from the sky. Although there was a corridor above to block the rain, it was still windy.
It would have been fine if the wind was strong and fast, and if it had blown in another direction, there would have been nothing to be angry about. But it seemed to be doing it on purpose, not blowing in another direction, but blowing rain directly at everyone.
After everyone was soaked through, the strong wind and heavy rain stopped.
If it were just that it would be fine, but when everyone finally changed into dry clothes, the strange strong wind swept in with heavy rain, soaking everyone from head to toe once again.
In this way, the rain stopped and started again, making everyone miserable.
What’s even more infuriating is that after finally making it to the second half of the night, the wind stopped and the rain also stopped.
Just when everyone was dozing off, suddenly a huge thunder exploded above their heads without any warning, and they were almost scared to death and went straight to the underworld to apologize to their ancestors.
My heart was beating fast for a long time. I waited for the person to calm down and thought that the crazy wind and rain had stopped, and I could finally have a good sleep.
But no, that day was like a convulsion. When they slept, it was stormy and rainy, and when they woke up, it was calm.
Not only that, God would suddenly send a huge thunderbolt from time to time.
The rumbling sound was so loud that it seemed as if it would kill all the people in both families before it stopped.
Xie Dahe looked at the scene of being struck by lightning, and for a moment he suspected that he had not stolen the things of that dead girl Xie Lan, but that he had offended God, who was torturing him like this.
It was a really wild night.
The wind, rain, thunder and lightning were like a playboy who loved to bully people, coming from time to time.
Not to mention the younger ones like Xie Yuan, Xie Rui, Xie Mao and Xie Yu, even Xie Donghai, Xie Dahe, and the adults from the Peng, Zhu and Yao families were tortured beyond recognition.
No matter how many times they changed their positions, huddled together against the wall with their straw mats all gathered together, the strong wind and heavy rain still poured down on them time and time again with unerring precision.
It was as if someone had large buckets and basins filled with water and was following them. No matter where they were hiding, they could find them and pour the water on them accurately.
Some servants felt sympathy for them when they saw how miserable they were, so they brought them raincoats to protect them from the rain.
But before they could get close, the strong wind blew away the raincoat and threw the servants into the muddy rain. The servants were frightened by the strange scene and could not care about others. They got up and ran away.
No matter how loudly Xie Donghai, Xie Dahe and the others shouted, no one dared to look back.
In this way, by dawn, no matter big or small, they all looked as miserable as the drowned ghosts fished out of the river.
As expected, after one night, everyone in both rooms fell ill.
Cold, high fever, cough, all of them. Xie Yu, who had been struck by lightning before, was the worst off. Not only did his face turn red with fever, but he was also so scared that he started talking nonsense.
Only Xie Lan had a good night's sleep.
I woke up feeling refreshed in the morning. After listening to Tiechui's gloating description of the second and third rooms and others' misfortune, I was in an even better mood and ate another basket of buns.
In fact, what Xie Dahe didn't know was that although his guess was not completely correct, it was almost right. Although he did not offend God, he offended Xie Lan's ancestor.
The heavy rain at the beginning was caused by Xie Lan's mysterious magic, but the heavy rain that came later was the masterpiece of the ancestor.
When he was young, he was even more dissolute than Xie Lan. How could the master remain indifferent when watching the Xie family bullying his own apprentice?
Although he couldn't kill those people from the Xie family, he could still give them a lesson.
He didn't need to use any magic to deal with these mere mortals. A few storms and lightning bolts would be enough to make them sick.
Seeing that the Grand Master had taken action, Xie Lan felt relieved and went to sleep leisurely, not caring about the lives of the two families.
But since the Grand Master had come out to defend her, she couldn't be lazy anymore.
Just as she was wondering where to go to dig melons, Xie Changting brought back a party invitation.
It was said that Yongyi Mansion was going to hold a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet, and Xie Lan was asked to prepare clothes and jewelry and go to the banquet with Liu.
Normally, Xie Changting was only a seventh-rank clerk and was not qualified to attend the banquet at Yongyi Mansion. No one knew where he got the invitation from.
But Xie Lan doesn't care about these.
I'm just about to take a nap. Could someone please hand me a pillow?
The powerful people in Kyoto have always loved to hold various banquets. According to convention, gossip is most likely to arise in places with many people.
This banquet comes at the perfect time.
