Splendid spring returns

Chapter 13 So Prestige
These thoughts were just fleeting, and Xin Nian followed Aunt Gu's gaze, and cast her gaze on a pale pink peony not far away.

It just so happened that Mrs. Qin happened to be there too. She took a few steps towards the lace, stretched out her hands to grab the branches of the pink peony, and said with a smile: "This light pink peony, does it look like a thin pink peony..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden change, and a black shadow jumped up from among the flowers and rushed towards Qin Shi.

It was too late to say it, and then it was too fast, at the very moment, Xin Nian stepped forward in twos and threes, stretched out his hand to grab it, and squeezed the thing tightly.

Everyone took a closer look and found that the black shadow was actually a snake, and Xin Nian's pinching was so clever that he pinched the snake's seven inches precisely.

Aunt Gu's exclamation just came at this time, it is not known whether she was startled by the snake or by Xin Nian.She tightly covered her mouth and looked at Xin Nian in disbelief, with only one thought in her mind: Is this a monster?How could it be possible for a woman... How could it be possible?

The snake was pinched seven inches, but it opened its mouth with difficulty, trying to bite, and the head of a three-cornered snake was even more ferocious and terrifying.

Frightened by this, Qin couldn't make a sound, and froze in place.

From the corner of Xin Nian's eyes, she saw the reactions of the aunts. She wanted to show her prestige, so that slender hand squeezed the snake's seven inches to pieces.

In the huge backyard, there was no sound at this time, and needles could be heard.

Xin Nian casually threw the snake to the side, causing the aunts to scream, but she ignored her. She just came to Qin and asked with concern: "Is Madam okay? Lizhi, help me quickly."

Only then did Qin come back to her senses, the horror in her eyes did not retreat, and then her body fell limply like a sack.Fortunately, Lizhi was woken up by Xin Nian, and now she stepped forward and just caught her.

"Xin...Sister Xin..."

Qin's teeth chattered, and tears poured out uncontrollably: "If...if it wasn't for you, today... today I would die here."

"Don't be afraid, Ma'am. You are the Madam of the Son of Heaven. A mere snake, how could it hurt you? I've crushed that snake to death, and I can't do any more evil. Just feel at ease."

After Xin Nian finished speaking, he said to Li Zhi: "Madam was frightened, it's better to help her back to the room and let the kitchen make a bowl of calming soup to calm the shock."

"Yes. Thank you... Thank you, Aunt Xin..."

Li Zhi is Qin's dowry girl, she has always been steady, but at this moment she couldn't help but panic, tears profusely, but she didn't dare to cry out.She didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if Xin Nian hadn't been present today.

"What... what's going on here? It's all right, why is there a snake jumping out of the backyard?"

Seeing Qin Shi being escorted back to the room by the girls and women who drove over, Liao Shi immediately put up the airs of a flat wife and asked sharply.

Aunt Gu hurriedly said: "Grandma calm down, this... It's already spring, the stinging sting is over, 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 animal hurt anyone, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Only then did Liao look at Xin Nian, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she said with a faint smile, "I never thought that after all these years, my sister's martial arts skills have not been left behind. I thought you would have turned your back on the old ways and concentrated on Jingjiu female red."

Xin Nian smiled and said, "I mean, I'm in the remote place of Qingliang Pavilion, even if I want to concentrate on Iusu female red, I need to have materials, right? Speaking of which, it's thanks to my sister who has taken care of me all these years, so that I can be so leisurely every day. Concentrating on practicing martial arts during the day will come in handy today.”

Liao Shi: ...

"It's scary to put this snake here. Where did all the women in the courtyard die? How dare they hide their laziness and get rid of the dead snake quickly?"

Aunt Gu suddenly yelled at her, and immediately two women who were waiting outside rushed in, but seeing the terrifying snake corpse, the two of them moved every step until they were sure that the snake was completely dead, then bent down, thinking Sweep it into the dustpan with a broom, take it out and throw it away.

"Hold on."

But Xin Nian said in a deep voice.Aunt Gu's heart trembled, she looked at her and forced a smile: "Aunt Xin is really bold, but you are not afraid, we are afraid, and besides, this kind of thing, let alone dead, even alive, can you still ask whether you can confess? very?"

Xin Nian smiled lightly, stepped forward to pick up the dead snake again, and said leisurely: "Although I don't read many books, I probably know that most of us in the north are vegetable snakes and grass snakes, with green or yellow-green 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 that? If it wasn’t for me, she would have died here. I think an ordinary person wouldn’t die after being bitten by a snake, right? Why Madam? Scared like that? Is it possible that this is the poisonous snake mentioned in the book? My wife is the daughter of the imperial court, so I know it. It’s just that we have a good garden, and someone cleans it from time to time. How did it get into the poisonous snake? This matter needs to be investigated. clear."

Speaking of this, I took another look at the two women and recognized that they were two slaves. They were usually flattering in front of the Liao family, and they were often domineering, so they added: "Of course, Mrs. Shizi There is a poisonous snake hiding in the backyard of the house, and I don’t know what the people in charge of cleaning and tidying up are doing, so we should investigate this matter carefully.”

"Aunt Xin is really majestic."

Aunt Qiu suddenly smiled coldly at the side: "I just said that you want to be the master of the house, but you are still arguing. Look, isn't this here? Grandma is here now, it's your turn to speak and deal with it?"

Xin Nian glanced at her, puzzled and said: "What did I do with it? I just wanted to keep this snake and show it to the Lord. I didn't investigate it on the spot. Could it be that I can't even say a word? Liao Sister, is this the rule in our family now?"

Liao's complexion was not to mention how ugly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Enough. Why don't you go and see Madam soon after such a thing happened? You guys are ashamed to argue here."

After saying that, she turned and left, Aunt Qiu and others were busy following behind her. In fact, how could anyone care 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 situation.

*****************
When Gu Changting came back, the mansion was calm as usual, and no one specifically reported this matter to him.

Mrs. Shizi is not favored, this is something that everyone knows well.What's more, Qin's father, the director of the former imperial hospital, was dismissed from office and exiled the year before last because he was involved in the imperial concubine's palace fight, and died on the way before reaching the ground.

In the past, a large family that was considered wealthy, now that the wind and rain are scattered, and they don't know where they are living. The Qin family can be said to be helpless, let alone no one takes her seriously.

Although the poisonous snake is scary, isn't the madam not dead?Who is willing to talk too much?Offended grandma for this matter, isn't the gain outweighed the loss?
So until Gu Changting entered Xinnianyuan, he still didn't know anything about it.
