Top-tier broker Chen Nan and her foodie best friend Lin Hua transmigrated!
The two of them failed to escape their arranged marriages at the beginning and were also raided?
Fortunately, ...
Chapter 83 Xiao Chunmei is captured
Lu Chaofeng gradually regained consciousness and curled his lips, "Just relying on the poison you haven't mastered yet?"
"You!" Xiao Chunmei was so angry that she was shaking all over.
"Someone come! Kill him for me!"
"Where are the others?!"
Lu Chaofeng straightened his back and attacked with his sword before she could finish her words. The cold and sharp hilt of the sword was pressing against Xiao Chunmei's brow. She spread out her hands and quickly retreated using light skills.
Lu Chaofeng looked at her coldly: "I didn't expect you to have some skills. You have hidden them well over the years."
Xiao Chunmei wanted to run away, but Lu Chaofeng had regained consciousness. How could he give her the chance?
As soon as she flew onto the roof, Lu Chaofeng put the sword in his hand on her neck.
"Do the people of the Xiao family know that you have defected to the White Bear Country?"
"Hmph, Xiao family?" She snorted coldly, and simply gave up resisting, allowing Lu Chaofeng to take her back to the ground.
"Prince——"
"I am late, please punish me, Your Highness."
Wu Ming and his companions ran over from the front yard, wounded all over. Blood was still dripping from the swords in their hands, and it seemed that they had also been through a fierce battle.
Lu Chaofeng narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Chunmei sideways, "Poisonous woman, it is really unfortunate for the Ningyuan Palace that my father let you into the family."
These words were like a knife stabbing into her heart. Xiao Chunmei smiled miserably, then said sharply and harshly: "Yes, I have bad intentions, but what kind of good thing is your father?"
"I have been in the mansion for so many years. He knows that I have loved him since childhood, but has he ever come back to see me?"
"Even when we got married, he sent someone from the border to bring back a set of armor to fool me!"
"I am from the Xiao family. He wants to slap the Xiao family in the face, but what about me? I am so innocent!"
Lu Chaofeng sneered: "You designed my father to marry into the palace. Even if you are from the Xiao family, so what? Do you think you can really replace my mother? Don't dream."
"Ha ha ha ha--"
"Your mother? What about your mother?"
"It's useless no matter how much your father cares about her! Hahaha, she has already turned into bones and is dead."
Lu Chaofeng hated it most when this woman mentioned his mother. He pinched her chin tightly and said, "Shut up! You are such a vicious person, you are not worthy of mentioning my mother! Don't even think about being compared to her!"
Xiao Chunmei held her head high, her entire face gradually turning the color of liver, but she was still smiling, laughing so hard that tears were about to come out.
Wu Ming was worried that Lu Chaofeng was really going to kill someone, and thought that he could not bear the charge of "matricide"!
He rushed forward to dissuade her: "Prince, hand her over to us for interrogation. We still need to investigate the conspiracy of the White Bear Country."
"Yes, Prince, don't be impulsive!"
"Please think twice!"
The others knelt on one knee, fearing that if Lu Chaofeng made a mistake, he would be doomed.
Even if Xiao Chunmei can only be regarded as a pawn that the Ningyuan Palace was forced to accept because they did not want to fall out with the palace, she still bears the empty title of Ningyuan Princess! In the eyes of the world, Xiao Chunmei is indeed Lu Chaofeng's stepmother.
Their prince's life was so hard and so difficult. He was left alone in the capital and had to guard against assassinations in the palace and be careful of the schemes of his uncle. He also had to be on guard against this "princess" all the time. Poisoning by her had become a common occurrence.
Wu Ming held Lu Chaofeng's arm tightly and slowly pulled his sanity back. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then threw him to the ground. "Give her a muscle softener! Don't let her die or escape."
"Yes, I understand."
Wu Ming aimed at the back of Xiao Chunmei's neck and slapped her with his hand. After the person fainted, he pried open her mouth and stuffed a pill of Penglai Valley's special cartilage powder.
It's not just soft muscles!
This was something Mi Feng had researched when he was free. It would make people's bones become weak, and they couldn't even make a fist. The bones didn't know how to use strength or feel pain, and they were as soft as a noodle.
The other two approached and said, "Sir, the assassin and the gap have knocked out the servants in the palace in advance. Fortunately, we have the antidote given by Junior Master Mi Feng, otherwise we would have died."
Lu Chaofeng frowned, feeling very uncomfortable, "Well, did the assassin leave any survivors?"
"No, when they were captured, they just bit the poison in their mouths and died quickly. There was no drag at all."
"Um."
Lu Chaofeng nodded. The wound on his leg flowed down from his ankle to the ground, and the hem of his robe was already stained red with blood.
Seeing this, Zhao Xi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Prince! You are injured! Quick, go back to your room."
After Lu Chaofeng let out a sigh of relief, the pain gradually intensified. He ordered in a hoarse voice: "Go to the secret room and bring a poison-eliminating pill. Also..."
"Prince!"
"Prince! What's wrong with you?"
Before Lu Chaofeng could finish his words, he fell to the ground and fainted...
"Quick, take the prince back to his room, I'll go get the medicine!"
"good!"
Chen Xi ran while blowing the whistle in his hand, one long, two short, four short and three long.
This is the unique communication code of Penglai Valley, which means: "Young Master is in trouble, please help!"
Soon there was a whistle in the distance in response.
The sound is getting closer.
Soon, seven or eight dark shadows entered the inner courtyard and headed straight into the house...
…
Inside the cave.
Su Chengnan changed into warm clothes and sat beside the fire, listening to them talk quietly and watching them work.
The women here are very hardworking. Each of them has something to do and they are nimble and nimble, not willing to stop for even a moment.
The lady on the left and a few other women were weaving net bags with straw ropes. They said that this way they could carry some wild vegetables and fruits on the road.
The mother-in-law across the street brought four or five girls, about seventeen or eighteen years old, to mend shoes, socks and clothes. This mother-in-law used to be a maid in a wealthy family. When she was released from the mansion when she was old, she went to Tieniu Village and made a living by doing
She made a living by doing some needlework, so when she came out of the fire, she didn't even bother to look behind the bed for the money in her coffin book, but put on her shoes and picked up the needlework basket.
The girls surrounding her were the ones who often went to her house to learn crafts from her when they were in the village. Although they had never formally become her apprentices, they were very respectful to their mother-in-law and even treated her as an elder.
Su Chengnan watched with great interest. She felt that this kind of scene was rare, with an indescribable warmth that reminded her of the director and teachers in the orphanage when she was very young. That was a rare warm moment in her memory, and that kind of love flowed silently...
"Miss, I have something to tell you." Jia Yi said loudly with his eyes closed and his back to the cave.
When everyone heard the sound, they stopped what they were doing and looked over.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go take a look. You guys continue with your work." Su Chengnan waved his hand, spoke to them softly, and quickly walked out of the cave.
Jia Yi's face showed a rare joy. He grinned and said in a low voice: "Miss, Qingshan is back!"
