Xie Yuening looked at Shen Qingwu and asked what she meant.
Shen Qingwu nodded nonchalantly, "Of course."
Xiao Qingyi picked up the box without hesitation. It had a faint scent of sandalwood, but was almost weightless. She opened the lid in confusion, and saw insects the size of rice grains wriggling happily on the white silk cloth, like fish swimming in water.
"Ah—" Xiao Qingyi screamed and almost threw the box away. She quickly placed it on the table with trembling hands, "What is this?"
"Poisonous insect." Shen Qingwu laughed. Before the insect could escape, he raised his hand to cover the box. He turned and looked at Xiao Qingyi jokingly, "Are you really scared?"
Xiao Qingyi's face turned pale, and she moved her stool away. "What else?"
"I don't quite believe it." Shen Qingwu shook his head.
Xiao Qingyi, "..."
Shen Qingwu really knows everything!
Cunning woman!
Xie Yuening looked at Shen Qingwu in confusion. Why did he give her the poisonous insect?
Could it be that Shen Qingwu didn't trust her and wanted to use the insect to control her?
However, Xie Yuening would not ask this question, because even if so, she would follow Shen Qingwu's wishes and would not feel embarrassed at all, but would just feel a little sad.
Holding my daughter who was gnawing on a chicken leg in my arms, I felt an inexplicable sadness in my heart.
Now she seems to have achieved what she wanted and done what she wanted most, but it seems that she still cannot get her freedom and always has to exchange it for the thing that is most important to her.
While she was thinking, Shen Qingwu handed the box to her and said, "Put your index finger in it."
Xie Yuening looked up at her, clenched her hands slightly, but still simply put her index finger in, her eyes fixed on Shen Qingwu, with a question written all over her face: why?
"Do you believe me?" Shen Qingwu still smiled.
"Of course." Xie Yuening felt a piercing pain in her fingertips, and she nodded firmly.
Shen Qingwu smiled indifferently, sat back down and put the empty box on the table.
Xie Yuening raised her hand and could clearly see the small black bug drilling into her body along her index finger and slowly moving up her arm, looking inexplicably strange.
"With the poison Gu here, no matter what kind of poison you are infected with, it can quickly help you get rid of it without harming your body. And as the toxins you eat become more and more, it will become more and more powerful." Shen Qingwu looked at Xie Yuening's stiff face and explained helplessly.
Xie Yuening's pupils suddenly dilated and her heart trembled violently. She stared at Shen Qingwu blankly.
"I thought you wanted to control her." Xiao Qingyi spoke out Xie Yuening's suspicions casually.
Xie Yuening looked guilty, "I'm sorry, I..."
"It's nothing. It's always good to be on guard against others. It's not easy for you to get to where you are today." Shen Qingwu smiled gently and turned to look at Xiao Qingyi. "Do you like it?"
Xiao Qingyi was envious and afraid, "This is indeed a good thing, but..."
Her struggle was written all over her face. "Just the thought of this thing being inside me makes all the hairs on my body stand up."
Xie Yuening's expression was calm, "Qingwu, thank you."
She suddenly understood that Shen Qingwu's biggest purpose in arranging the meeting today was not to reunite her with Momo and her daughter, but to cure the poison the emperor had given her.
She actually assumed that about such a gentle woman.
"Perhaps, I will need your help in the future." Shen Qingwu said half-jokingly.
Xie Yuening didn't say anything, but she also smiled. If necessary, she would not hesitate to die.
"If you become my disciple, I can teach you how to raise Gu." Shen Qingwu asked Xiao Qingyi with a smile.
Xiao Qingyi is really afraid of these little bugs, but this book is really eye-catching.
"Master, you haven't taught me yet." Sun Yimo protested with puffed cheeks.
"Take your time." Shen Qingwu said with a smile, "If Sister Xiao accepts me as her master, she will be your junior sister in the future."
"Wow." Sun Yimo's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Xiao Qingyi, "...How about you teach me something else? I'm not short of money."
…
"Shen Qingwu, do you think I'm a very loyal person?" Early the next morning, Zhou Silin came to the door of the Shen family in a carriage to pick up Shen Qingwu. When she saw him coming out, she walked up to him enthusiastically and wanted to hug Shen Qingwu's arm affectionately.
Shen Qingwu avoided it without giving any face, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to being so close to people, but I think you are just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chickens, with ulterior motives."
"That's really rude of you." Zhou Silin snorted, "But it doesn't matter. I'll be generous and not hold it against you. I can slowly get you used to it."
Shen Qingwu couldn't help but look at her again.
Zhou Silin raised her head proudly, with a look on her face that said, "Am I being considerate?"
But she said unforgivingly, "Every year I invite my friends to the villa to escape the summer heat. Qingqing and the others always go. This year, we have to fight each other. If I leave you out, what if you become the Crown Princess and try to make things difficult for me in the future?"
Shen Qingwu laughed, "You are really far-sighted."
"That's right." Zhou Silin said proudly, "Let's go. No one else has this kind of treatment. I thought your family has been busy lately, so I specially arranged a carriage for you. Let's take one. I've prepared a lot of food for you. Am I being very considerate?"
Shen Qingwu really didn't know where Zhou Silin's surging enthusiasm came from.
But from Zhou Silin's past, we can see that she does go to the villa to escape the summer heat every year, but this year she went a few days earlier. It was her mother Zhou Hui who reminded her and specifically mentioned inviting Shen Qingwu.
"After hearing about you, my mother said that you are a female knight, and that women should be like you to avoid being bullied. She asked me to learn more from you and specifically told me to invite you to stay at the villa for a few days this year." Zhou Silin kept talking as the carriage turned.
