Xie Ruzhuo's first thought was to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, but his legs and feet were not as fast as his thoughts. However, in the lightning flash, the little snake had already arrived in front of Xie Ruzhuo.
"Come here, protect Miss Xie's family quickly!"
The guard was too far away from Xie Ruzhuo, and water from far away could not quench his thirst nearby. It was too late to pass by.
Xiao Junxi naturally heard the strange movement here, and had no time to think more. He rushed towards Xie Ruzhuo, but found that Shen Jingxiang, who was closest to Xie Ruzhuo, had already made a move and chopped the patterned snake into two pieces with his sword!
Blood splashed everywhere immediately, and the decapitated snake twisted several times unwillingly on the ground before finally becoming limp. Its blood had already been spilled on the ground and table, and even Xie Ruzhuo's body was inevitably splashed a little.
Xie Ruzhuo's eyes widened in confusion, as if he hadn't woken up from the shocking scene just now. In such a dangerous situation just now, it was Shen Jingxiang who saved him.
It's a pity that I don't appreciate it!
Her mind was spinning over and over again, and then she lowered her head, seemingly emptying her mind, but in fact she examined the little snake carefully. This snake's fangs are sharp and its core is red. Even though it has its eyes closed, it still knows how powerful it is. Hu Weide once gave Xie Ruzhuo a book that covered a wide range of topics, including one specifically recording these poisons. And this dead snake is the poison of poisons!
If he were bitten by that little patterned snake, he would probably lose his skin even if he didn't die!
Who wanted to kill him, and he chose to kill him on the birthday of the eldest princess!
"Zhuo'er, are you okay?"
Xie Ruyue was the first to rush forward, and looked Xie Ruzhuo up and down. After making sure that she was okay, she breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the cold sweat on her face, Xie Ruyue carefully wiped her face clean.
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head gently. She had died once, so naturally she would not be afraid of a mere snake. But what happened today was really strange. How could a little snake be allowed to come and go at the eldest princess's birthday party? Moreover, it was coming straight towards him!
Someone must have deliberately brought it about!
"Thanks to Mr. Shen for saving me, otherwise my sister would have been injured by the poisonous snake." Seeing Xie Ruzhuo still in shock, Xie Ruyue thanked her on his behalf. Although she also saw that the Shen family was uncomfortable, it was Shen Jingxiang who took action recently, so she sincerely thanked her.
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo came back to his senses. Yes, if Shen Jingxiang hadn't slashed the snake in two with his sword just now, he would have been hit now.
But, how could he take action quickly and accurately
"Master Shen's swordsmanship is quite good. It's rare that he can spot the right timing." After Xie Ruzhuo said this, he turned his head and remained silent. It was true that he saved her, but she would never thank him! If it weren't for him in the previous life, how could his father...
In this life, Shen Jingxiang will never be allowed to succeed again!
Before Shen Jingxiang could speak, Xie Ruyue patted her back gently and scolded her in a low voice, "Zhuo'er, Mr. Shen just saved you." However, Xie Ruyue had to admit that this was quite true. Aroused his own doubts.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't answer, but just snuggled into Xie Ruyue's arms, looking frightened. She had just been attacked by a poisonous snake, so she thought she was frightened.
Seeing this, Shen Jingxiang explained, "Unfortunately, we were very close to Miss Xie just now. How could I watch Miss Xie being bitten by a snake and kill the snake with a sword, with just a little effort."
As Shen Jingxiang said that, she put away her sword and looked at Xie Ruzhuo with concern. However, Xie Ruzhuo's attitude was cold and he didn't want to talk to him at all.
I'm afraid I was frightened.
Shen Jingxiang thought like this and stepped aside silently. No matter what happened today, Xie Ruzhuo would be fine.
Xiao Junxi was a step too late. He stopped ten feet away and did not take a step forward after all. Since Xie Ruzhuo is out of danger, there is no need for him to ask for help.
Suddenly, a cold light burst out in Xiao Junxi's eyes. First, someone deliberately let Xie Ruzhuo and Xie Ruyue break up the good relationship between the prince-in-law and the palace maid, and now they let a poisonous snake bite Xie Ruzhuo. This shows that this person is ruthless and hates Xie Ruzhuo deeply. .
Who did it
But one thing is certain, this person will not be able to escape from the people in the palace today. No matter who it is, if he finds out, he will not let this person go! If he dares to hurt his beloved, he must have the backbone to bear the consequences!
The female family members were attacked in her own mansion. The eldest princess was furious, but now was not a good time to investigate. Seeing the panic on Xie Ruzhuo's face, she sighed, walked to Xie Ruzhuo and asked, "How is Miss Xie?"
The eldest princess came in person, and all the young ladies naturally got up and followed her. They would do whatever the eldest princess did. This way, they would eventually win the eldest princess's favor, which would also be great for their own future.
"Thank you for your concern, princess. Zhuo'er is fine." Although Xie Ruzhuo's eyes were still a little scared, his face had calmed down.
The eldest princess nodded slightly in her heart, this girl is quite courageous. As she thought about it, she explained with a smile, "That's good. Snakes have never appeared in my princess's mansion before, and I don't know what happened today. Don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and give you one." justice."
If something goes wrong, you will become a monster. The eldest princess is not stupid, so she can naturally see that what happened today is probably a trap!
Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly. He would not have it on normal days. Today, the little patterned snake came for him. Otherwise, if there were so many people here, why would it target him
It wasn't that Xie Ruzhuo was thinking too much, but what happened to her today was so weird that she had to think more.
But this must not be told to the eldest princess in front of everyone, otherwise others will talk about it and think that it is him who is causing trouble to everyone.
It happened that Zhang Xiuyan also returned to the banquet at this time. Xiao Junhan had left her alone for no reason before, and Zhang Xiuyan was very unhappy. However, she was afraid that everyone would look different, and it was not easy to change her mind immediately, so she walked around outside. half day. But I didn't expect that when I came back, I would see such a good show. Zhang Xiuyan inquired carefully, and then she realized that a small snake almost bit Xie Ruzhuo just now.
Why don't you bite her to death!
Zhang Xiuyan was gloating over her misfortune. It seemed that God had a good eye, so he sent a little snake to punish her.
With a thought in her mind, Zhang Xiuyan stepped forward and said, "Ms. Xie is really a blessed person. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to escape this disaster."
No ivory comes out of a dog's mouth!
Xie Ruzhuo stood next to Xie Ruyue, holding Xie Ruyue's finger tightly with one hand. He still looked frightened on his face, but secretly sighed in his heart, Zhang Xiuyan would never be able to change her vicious nature in this life, and she couldn't change her vicious nature. Xiao Junhan deserved to leave her behind. But with her current situation, Zhang Xiuyan might have burst into laughter.
As Xie Ruzhuo expected, Zhang Xiuyan bowed to the eldest princess and said politely, "Your Highness, in Yan'er's opinion, today is the eldest princess's birthday. It is really unlucky for something like this to happen." It's very good, and this little snake actually moved towards Miss Xie, which shows that Xie Ruzhuo is also an unlucky person."
"Miss Zhang, please be careful what you say. This is the eldest princess's birthday party. The eldest princess hasn't spoken yet. What's the matter with you?"
Xie Ruyue was always quick-tempered. Now that Xie Ruzhuo was frightened and angry, how could she remain silent and not speak
"Shut up to me!" The eldest princess frowned. This happened in her house, and it would not sound good if it spread.
As she thought about it, she glanced sideways at Zhang Xiuyan again and said calmly, "Miss Zhang hasn't returned home for a long time. Could it be that the road to the Princess Mansion is too winding and you got lost in it?"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in the eldest princess's words, Zhang Xiuyan immediately broke into a cold sweat and said, "No, I..."
"Okay, it's getting late, and I'm tired, so let's all disperse." The eldest princess spoke, and there was no need for everyone to stay. They immediately paid their respects and dispersed in twos and threes.
Xie Ruyue carefully helped Xie Ruzhuo out of the gate of the princess mansion. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, she suddenly heard someone's delicate laughter from behind.
"Ms. Xie was frightened today. She needs to take good care of herself when she returns home, so as not to get the root cause of the disease in the future. Others think that the Xie family is so cowardly that they are careless."
It was Shen Jingci who spoke. When she was in the main hall just now, she didn't say anything because she wanted to protect her image, but as soon as she left the door, Shen Jingci couldn't help it.
Xie Ruzhuo sneered. His words contained a gun and a stick. They were called caring, but there was no hint of concern at all.
But that's right, if Shen Jingci really cared about her, then she wouldn't have had her family destroyed by Shen Jingci in her previous life!
"Zhuo'er, thank you Miss Shen for your concern. I'm fine. But Miss Shen needs to be more careful. It's dark on the road, and there are few people coming from the Shen family. Your yang energy is weak, so don't run into ghosts!" After saying that, Xie Ruzhuo didn't even look at it. Shen Jingci turned around and followed Xie Ruyue into the carriage.
Shen Jingci was about to retaliate, but she saw that the other party had already left, leaving only the sound of the carriage rumbling. She stamped her feet in frustration, then looked coldly at the shadow of the carriage leaving, and whispered, "I am a ghost, but you are the one, but be careful not to let me suck all the value out of you, you can't even be a ghost!"
After getting on the carriage, Xie Ruyue stroked her chest and said, "Thank God, Zhuoer, you are safe and sound, otherwise what should I do?"
Xie Ruzhuo changed his frightened expression like a little rabbit just now, and instead said with a leisurely expression, "Second sister, don't worry, don't you think I'm doing well?"
Seeing her instant recovery, Xie Ruyue wondered whether Xie Ruzhuo was acting just now.
This younger sister of hers has always been bold, and even a small snake wouldn't frighten her out of her courage.
"I do regret bringing you to the eldest princess's birthday party. If I had stayed at home, perhaps so many disasters would not have happened."
Seeing Xie Ruyue blaming herself, Xie Ruzhuo smiled and said, "Second sister, you think too much."
Xie Ruzhuo had doubts about what happened today, but there was no definite evidence in her hand. She could not confirm that Shen Jingci did it, but the woman's sixth sense told her that it must have been done by Shen Jingci. Related to Shen Jingci.
Besides her, who would hate her so much that she would want to get rid of him quickly
It would be fine if she was bitten by a snake. Even if famous doctors could save her life, she would still have to recuperate for a long time, and these days were enough for Shen Jingci to do too many things.
After Shen Jingxiang finished entertaining the young men from the aristocratic families, she turned around and returned to her carriage. Just as she was about to get in, Shen Jingci said with a gloomy face, "Why do you want to meddle in your own business, brother?"
