Chapter 197: Dagger to kill evil
These thoughts were just a flash of light. Xin Nian followed Aunt Gu's gaze and cast her gaze on a pale pink peony not far away.
Mrs. Qin just happened to walk there. She walked a few steps towards the flower, stretched out her hand to climb the branches of the pink peony, and said with a smile: "Does this pale pink peony look like a pink peony..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred, and a black shadow suddenly jumped out from among the flowers and pounced on Mrs. Qin.
It was too late, but it was too soon. At the critical moment, Xin Nian stepped forward, stretched out his hand to grab the thing, and pinched it hard.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that the black shadow was actually a snake, and Xin Nian's pinch was so wonderful that he managed to hold seven inches of the snake.
Aunt Gu's scream came just now, and she didn't know whether she was frightened by the snake or Xin Nian. She covered her mouth tightly and looked at Xin Nian in disbelief, with only one thought in her mind: This is
Monster? How is it possible for a woman... how is it possible?
The snake was pinched seven inches, but it still managed to open its mouth with difficulty and tried to bite. The triangular snake head made it even more ferocious and terrifying.
Mrs. Qin was so frightened that she couldn't make any sound, and her whole body was frozen in place.
Xin Nian saw the reactions of several aunts from the corner of his eyes. She was determined to establish her power, so she used her delicate hand to squeeze the seven inches of the snake to pieces.
In the huge backyard, there was no sound from the birds at this time, and you could hear a needle drop.
Xin Nian casually threw the snake to the side, causing her aunts to scream in surprise, but she ignored it. She only came to Qin and asked with concern: "Is Madam okay? Litchi, please hold on to me."
Mrs. Qin finally came back to her senses, her eyes still filled with fear, and then her body fell down as softly as a sack. Fortunately, Lychee was woken up by Xin Nian and stepped forward to catch her.
"Xin...Sister Xin..."
Mrs. Qin's teeth chattered, and tears burst out uncontrollably: "If... if it weren't for you, I would die here today... today."
"Madam, don't be afraid. You are the Crown Prince's wife, a lucky person. How can a mere snake hurt you? I have already crushed that snake to death. It can no longer do evil. You can rest assured."
After Xin Nian finished speaking, he said to Li Zhi: "Madam is frightened. It's better to help her back to the room quickly and let the kitchen make a bowl of soothing soup to calm down the fright."
"Yes. Thank you...Thank you, Auntie Xin..."
Li Zhi was Qin's dowry girl and had always been steady. At this moment, she couldn't help but panic. She burst into tears, but she didn't dare to cry. She didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if Xin Nian hadn't been present today.
"What...what's going on? Everything's fine, but why is there a snake jumping out of the backyard?"
Seeing Ms. Qin being helped back to the room by the girls and women who rushed over, Ms. Liao immediately put on the airs of a common wife and questioned sternly.
Aunt Gu hurriedly said: "Grandma, please calm down, it's... it's already spring, the hibernation has passed, and it's normal for snakes, insects, rats and ants to come out of their holes. Fortunately, Aunt Xin is very agile and didn't let this beast hurt anyone, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Mrs. Liao then looked at Xin Nian, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and said with a faint smile: "I didn't expect that after so many years, my sister's martial arts skills have not been lost. I thought you had changed your ways long ago and concentrated on Jingjiu girl and became famous."
Xin Nian smiled and said: "What you are saying is that I am in the remote place of Qingliang Pavilion. Even if I want to focus on Jingjiu Nvhong, I have to have materials, right? Speaking of which, it is thanks to my sister who has taken care of me in these years that I have such a leisurely life, so that I can do it every day.
I concentrate on practicing martial arts during the day, and it will come in handy today."
Liao:……
"It's so scary to put this snake here. Where have all the ladies in the courtyard died? How dare you hide away now and why don't you quickly take away the dead snake?"
Aunt Gu suddenly scolded her sharply, and immediately two women who were waiting outside ran in. Just looking at the terrifying snake corpse, they moved step by step until they were sure that the snake was dead, then they bent down and thought Use a broom to sweep it into the dustpan, take it out and throw it away.
"Wait a minute."
But she heard Xin Nian say something deep. Aunt Gu's heart trembled, she looked at her and said with a forced smile: "Aunt Xin is really bold, but you are not afraid, we are. Besides, such a thing, let alone dead, is still alive. Can I ask if it can be exported? Why should I keep it?"
Xin Nian smiled faintly, stepped forward and picked up the dead snake again, and said leisurely: "Although I haven't read many books, I roughly know that in the north we mostly have green snakes, with green or yellow bodies. This snake But it is black and white, with a terrifying and special appearance, not like the snakes in the north. Did Madam just say? If it weren't for me, she would die here. I think that ordinary people will not die if they are bitten by a snake, right? Madam, what? Are you so scared? Could it be that this is the venomous snake mentioned in the book? Madam is the daughter of the Imperial Palace Priest, so she knows it. It’s just that we have a good garden, and someone is cleaning it all the time, so how could a venomous snake get into it? This matter needs to be investigated. clear."
Having said this, he glanced at the two women again and recognized that they were two unruly slaves. They usually used their flattery in front of the Liao family to do a lot of things, so they added: "Of course, Madam Prince There is a venomous snake hidden in my backyard, and I don’t know what the people responsible for cleaning up are doing. This matter should be investigated carefully."
"Aunt Xin is so majestic."
Aunt Qiu suddenly smiled coldly from the side: "I just said that you want to be the master of the family, and you are still arguing. Look, isn't this coming? Grandma is here, it is your turn to speak and deal with it?"
Xin Nian glanced at her and said in confusion: "What did I do? I just wanted to keep this snake and show it to you. I didn't investigate it on the spot, so couldn't I even say a word?" Liao Sister, is this the rule in our family now?"
Not to mention how ugly Mrs. Liao's face was, she gritted her teeth and said, "That's enough. If something like this happens, why don't you go and see Madam? You guys have the nerve to argue here."
After saying that, she turned around and left, Aunt Qiu and others were busy following her. In fact, no one cared about Qin's life or death?
Here Xin Nian carried the snake to Qin's house, found a basket and put it in, and then went into the house to check on Qin's condition.
*****************
When Gu Changting came back, the house was calm as usual, and no one specifically reported the incident to him.
Everyone knows that the prince's wife is not favored. What's more, Qin's father, the former dean of the Taiyuan Hospital, was dismissed from office and exiled the year before last because he was involved in a palace fight with the imperial concubine. He died in the palace before he reached the ground. halfway.
The family that used to be considered rich and wealthy are now in disarray and drifting to nowhere. It can be said that Mrs. Qin is completely helpless, and no one takes her seriously.
Although the poisonous snake is scary, isn't the lady alive? Who wants to talk too much? Isn't it worth the loss to offend grandma for this matter?
