Erniu had some scars on her face from acne, so before leaving, Jian Ning gave Shaoyao the scar removal cream she had prepared. Shaoyao was the maid assigned by Cai Bo to take care of Erniu and Sanniu's daily life. Jian Ning was just instructing her on some precautions in taking care of Erniu and Sanniu when a loud noise and screams came from outside the courtyard.
"Mom! It's bad, come quickly, mom, Brother Qiu has rolled Sister Meixiang up to the sky." Sanniu jumped and shouted in the yard. Jian Ning ran out and looked in the direction of Sanniu's finger. Sure enough, Meixiang, who was in mourning clothes, was rolled in the air by Brother Qiu's snake tail.
"Help! Uncle, save me!" Meixiang was so scared that she almost peed her pants, and her voice changed tone.
There were two carriages parked in the alley. Pei Xiyuan, a skinny old man wearing a boat-shaped hat, and Meixiang got off from the front carriage. Meixiang was the first to get off, and as soon as she got off, she was swept into the sky by Brother Qiu who suddenly jumped over.
"Evil beast!" The skinny old man looked up and slammed the crescent-shaped staff in his hand to the ground. Pei Xiyuan just shouted "No" when a beam of white light shot out from the tip of the staff and flew towards Brother Qiu's vital point.
"mother!"
Amidst Sanniu's screams, with a whoosh, a red light flew out from the center of the white light.
With a "bang", a white light fell to the ground. It was a willow leaf flying knife as thin as a cicada's wing.
"Mom, if they had stopped the carriage that day, Sister A'man would not have been captured by the evil people." Sanniu ran out of the yard, took a look at the flying knife that fell on the ground, raised her arm and pointed at the skinny old man angrily, and then pointed at Suo Wenzhen who was coming from the carriage behind.
"If they don't save Sister A'man, they are all evil people!"
Jian Ning gouged out the old man's eyes and looked at Pei Xiyuan, "I really regret saving you last time!"
Pei Xiyuan's eyes darkened. "I've already repaid your life-saving favor. We owe each other nothing. Why bring it up again?" He then looked up at Brother Qiu, whose emotions were a little out of control, and frowned. "Hurry up and make it let go of my niece, otherwise... you'd better make it let go!"
niece?
Is this a recognition of relationship?
Jian Ning sneered inwardly. Brother Qiu would not attack Meixiang for no reason. She immediately thought of Yunniang's purse. Either the purse was given to Yunniang by Meixiang, or the copper coins inside were given by Meixiang. Brother Qiu attacked her only because the purse or the copper coins smelled like Meixiang.
Thinking of this, she put her fingers in her mouth and blew a whistle. Brother Qiu swung his long tail upwards, throwing Meixiang high into the air and dropping her down.
Amidst Meixiang's heart-wrenching screams, several people moved. Jian Ning, who was closer, seized the initiative. She was quick-eyed and quick-handed, snatched the long whip from the groom's hand and wrapped it around Meixiang. She pulled her arm back and then pinched Meixiang's neck, pressing her against the wall like a chick.
"Tell me! Where did Yunniang take Ah Man? If you don't tell me, I'll break your neck!"
"Don't act rashly!" Pei Xiyuan raised his arm to stop the people behind him, and looked at Jian Ning and said, "Please think twice, Madam Jian, if you have something to say, we can talk it over. It's better not to start a war."
Jian Ning's eyes flickered, glaring at him murderously, "What's there to say? She colluded with the black-hearted concubine who was expelled from the Huo Mansion to abduct Ah Man. Even if she wasn't directly involved, she must have known about it. If she doesn't tell the truth, do you think I dare to tear her apart alive?"
In full view of everyone, in front of Pei Xiyuan and the others, Jian Ning pinched Mei Xiang's neck with one hand, and a scalpel with a cold glow appeared out of thin air in the other hand.
"If you don't tell me, I'll skin you alive first!" She pressed the knife against Meixiang's forehead, scaring her so much that she turned pale and became incontinent on the spot, with urine dripping down her skirt onto the ground.
Jian Ning's cold eyes swept across the small white flowers on her temples, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If you insist on not telling me, I will send you to see your relatives. Think carefully!"
"It stinks. He's so old and still peeing on himself." Sanniu pinched her nose and fanned it with one hand.
Meixiang wailed, her eyes rolled back so tightly that her eyeballs were almost invisible, her face flushed red, her legs kicking non-stop, she was in extreme pain, and she tried desperately to break free from Jian Ning.
"How can she speak when you're pinching her neck like this?" The old man beside Pei Xiyuan was so angry that his eyebrows were about to stand up. He leaned close to Pei Xiyuan's ear and whispered, "There's something strange about this woman. That knife seemed to appear out of thin air. Rumor has it that there's a tribe of immortal cultivators among the southern barbarians in the Central Plains. Could it be that she has also learned some immortal arts?"
Pei Xiyuan tilted his head slightly, "Where do immortals come from in this world? It's just an illusion."
"Hurry up and tell me!" Jane Ning moved her hand slightly downwards. "Don't test my patience, and don't expect anyone to save you from me. You'd better be smart."
"Wow... I only knew that she wanted to take revenge on me and kidnap Ah Man. I thought she was just talking, I really didn't know she would really do that!"
"If I tell even a single lie, I'll be struck with lightning!"
Jian Ning stared into her eyes and didn't think she was lying. He also believed that she didn't have the courage to lie. He loosened his grip and Meixiang fell softly to the ground, covering her face and crying.
"Take Yaoyao in and lock the door." Jian Ning raised his chin towards Shaoyao, who looked surprised. She reacted and hurriedly carried Sanniu in.
Under the watchful eyes of Pei Xiyuan and others, Jian Ning rode on Brother Qiu and flew into the air. Baimei suddenly jumped out and stepped firmly on Brother Qiu's head. Brother Qiu shook his head several times but couldn't get rid of it.
"Go back and look after Yaoyao and Jiajia. Keep an eye on them."
Baimei glanced east and west, pretending not to hear.
Jane Ning flicked her long sleeves, and it immediately flapped its wings and flew away when it felt the wind behind its head. Even though it reacted quickly, it was still half a beat late. Its left wing was brushed by the sleeve and it fell several times before it stabilized.
"Fuck him!"
"Little bitch!"
It was so angry that it flew up and circled around Jane Ning three times, uttered a few learned swear words, and then turned back in disappointment.
Brother Qiu turned his head to look at Jian Ning, asking if he wanted to fly back and deal with Baimei.
"Forget it, it's more important to find Ah Man, ignore it." Jian Ning stroked Qiu Ge's head, "That damn crow's mouth is too stinky, let Guo Guo punish it when we go back later."
When mentioning Guoguo, Brother Qiu became cheerful, completely forgetting that Guoguo had abandoned him and was hanging out with Baimei, thus banishing him to the cold palace.
At the entrance of the alley, Duan Xinyan came running with her maid, who had also changed into men's clothing. She had finally been unblocked and had come all the way here to learn how to ride a bicycle. She didn't want to see Jian Ning riding Qiu Ge off to who knows where again. She jumped up and down, waving her hands and shouting, "Eldest sister! Where are you going? Take me with you, take me with you!"
Jian Ning didn't praise her. The commander-in-chief said he would report her achievements to the emperor. Duan Xinyan was also there at the time. Jian Ning replied to the commander-in-chief in person that she didn't want any reward, just that the emperor would revoke his order and not allow Duan Xinyan to marry Prince Yong.
Now, Duan Xinyan admires Jian Ning with all her heart, and truly recognizes and likes her as her elder sister. However, Jian Ning is always cold to her, because Jian Ning will never let go of Concubine Min and Shopkeeper Wang, so Duan Xinyan hates her.
Since they are destined to turn against each other, why bother pretending to be sisters?
