Chapter 208 Oh, She Doesn't Pinch Gently
Zhuang Xianxian stared at Xiao Jiuyue's face and stood beside Xue Lingxiao: "What do you mean by that?"
"My future daughter-in-law gave her mother-in-law some good things to clear away heat and detoxify. I believe my aunt will be very happy." Xue Han chimed in, saying, "It's no use being jealous of Sister Xianxian."
"Jealous, who is jealous?" Sun Shaolan looked at Zhuang Xianxian with eyes as if to say: Who cares about Xue Lingxiao?
"Sister Xiao told you not to send me off. She was just reminding you with good intentions. You are really ungrateful." Although Tang Tian didn't know why Xiao Jiuyue reminded her, she was sure that Xiao Jiuyue was right.
"Then tell me, why can't we give it as a gift?" Zhuang Xianxian raised the honeysuckle in her hand and sneered, "Don't you think honeysuckle is too cheap?"
The look in Zhuang Xianxian's eyes when she looked at Xiao Jiuyue seemed to be saying: Too tacky.
"No, honeysuckle is not cheap." Xiao Jiuyue shook her head and said, "You can go to the pharmacy and ask if the flower in your hand is actually honeysuckle?"
The confident expression on Zhuang Xianxian's face suddenly became unconfident. She looked at the honeysuckle in her hand, left and right. Isn't this the same honeysuckle she usually uses?
"Oh, it's not honeysuckle? Could it be some poisonous flower?" Tang Tian looked at the yellow flower in Zhuang Xianxian's hand in shock. It looked very much like honeysuckle.
Sun Shaolan was even more direct and sneered, "I thought you were knowledgeable, but I didn't expect that you couldn't even recognize honeysuckle."
"Nonsense." Zhuang Xianxian's face darkened. She had lost face in front of her beloved. She felt a little embarrassed: "Who said it's not honeysuckle?"
"You say it's not honeysuckle, so it's not honeysuckle? Don't be so self-righteous. I see, this yellow flower is honeysuckle?" Xue Han stared at the flower. The honeysuckle tea she had seen before was all dried. She had never seen fresh honeysuckle, but they all looked yellow and quite similar.
"Xue Han, you grew a head just to make yourself taller, right?"
Sun Shaolan usually traveled around the world like a man, and her voice was a little louder than usual. She said, "The yellow flowers are honeysuckle? Osmanthus, winter jasmine, marigold, chrysanthemum, which one is not a yellow flower? Could they all be honeysuckle?"
"Sun Shaolan!" Xue Han rushed forward angrily, yelling at Sun Shaolan by her full name, wanting to tear her mouth apart. Before she could get close to Sun Shaolan, her wrist was grabbed by Sun Shaolan.
This damn woman, how come her grip is so strong?
Xue Han's features were twisted in pain. Sun Shaolan shook her hand away and said, "I'm just an ordinary girl, I don't have much strength. You're not going to lie on the ground and say I pinched you, are you?"
Xue Han, who was about to fall to the ground, suddenly froze. She covered her wrist which was pinched and hurt, feeling aggrieved.
"Hanhan." Zhuang Xianxian rushed forward, looked at her red and swollen wrist and said, "Sun Shaolan, are you an ordinary girl? Can an ordinary girl pinch her hand so red?"
"Oh, she is just weak." Sun Shaolan said lightly.
"You..." Zhuang Xianxian was so angry. When she turned around, she saw Xue Lingxiao seriously asking Xiao Jiuyue for advice, which made her so angry that she wanted to vomit blood!
"Excuse me, Miss Xiao, but what is this? Is it poisonous?" Xue Lingxiao smiled, his gentle voice like a spring breeze.
"I'm not a doctor, so I have nothing to say." Xiao Jiuyue silently took a step back. Xue Lingxiao's eyes were too purposeful. Spring had already passed, and he was still in heat?
Zhuang Xianxian sneered: "What a good thing you say 'I have nothing to say'. I think you are just being mysterious. This is honeysuckle. Do you want to show off your knowledge?" The anger in her eyes was about to burst out, as if warning her not to be wishful thinking.
"We just don't want to tell you, is that impossible?" Sun Shaolan stood in front of Xiao Jiuyue. Tang Tian's voice rang out, "With so many of you, you don't even recognize Jin Yinhua?"
"Sister Xiao, let's go." Sun Shaolan and Tang Tian stood on Xiao Jiuyue's left and right like flower protectors, and took her away. Xiao Jiuyue chuckled and asked, "Aren't you afraid of offending her? She's the prefect's daughter."
"What are you afraid of? My father is still the battalion commander." Sun Shaolan finished speaking, and worried that Xiao Jiuyue would overthink it, she added: "Zhuang Xianxian's eyes are on the top of her head. Just like Xue Lingxiao, that playboy, she doesn't look like a good person. But Zhuang Xianxian treats her like a treasure."
"That's right." Tang Tian nodded in agreement, turned around to make sure they were far away, and then said, "Guess what I saw just now? The two of them were hugging each other..." Tang Tian was too embarrassed to say the rest.
"Bah, shameless! She's just picking flowers." Sun Shaolan seemed to remember something and asked, "Sister Xiao, what flowers did she pick just now? Are they poisonous?"
"Don't you think I made a mistake?" Xiao Jiuyue asked instead of answering.
"How could Sister Xiao admit her mistake?" Tang Tian supported Xiao Jiuyue blindly.
Sun Shaolan said, "Sister Xiao is a steady person and will definitely not admit her mistake. Zhuang Xianxian, on the other hand, thinks she is very knowledgeable and bears the title of Hongdu Talented Woman, but she is just a facade and is not even one ten-thousandth as good as the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family."
"The banker has another young lady?" Tang Tian was like a badger in a melon field, curiosity was written all over her eyes.
"Don't interrupt, Sister Xiao, please tell me quickly, what is that?" Sun Shaolan thought it was honeysuckle.
"Gelsemium elegans, also known as Gelsemium elegans." Xiao Jiuyue didn't keep the secret this time and said directly, "If you accidentally eat Gelsemium elegans, your intestines will turn black and you will die from abdominal pain."
"Ah." Sun Shaolan was startled and said, "Sister Xiao, you are really kind-hearted. If I hadn't discovered this, Zhuang Xianxian, the future daughter-in-law, would have poisoned her own mother-in-law to death."
"Don't pick wild flowers randomly." Tang Tian was also frightened. They looked too similar.
"In fact, it is very easy to distinguish the two kinds of flowers if you look carefully." Xiao Jiuyue turned on the popular science mode and told them how to distinguish them.
Everyone quickly put this little episode behind them and started hunting. Perhaps they were lucky, and soon they had a harvest.
Sun Shaolan was showing off a pheasant while holding it in her hand: "Cousin, Sister Xiao, we can roast the pheasant later!"
"I got it too!" Tang Tian ran towards the shot pheasant excitedly. Just as she picked up the pheasant, Dong Gui on the side suddenly attacked Tang Tian. Sun Shaolan was so scared that the pheasant in her hand almost dropped. She shivered and thought: Even if you want the pheasant, you don't have to hit me!
The next moment, Tang Tian saw Dong Gui holding a colorful snake in his hand, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
The pheasant dropped to the ground, flapping its wings.
Dong Gui squatted down and looked at Tang Tian, but she didn't see any wounds. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue innocently and said, "Miss, the snake is dead. It didn't bite Miss Tang."
