Volume 2: Feng Xiang Wu Yin Chapter 34: Wild Geese Plucking Feathers
In an instant, everyone seemed to be awakened by this sound, and their eyes fell on her body in unison, as if they wanted to pierce through her.
Tang Nian's eyebrows furrowed slightly in discontent, she didn't like being stared at by many people with strange eyes. After finishing the food in the celadon bowl and putting it on the tray, Si Ling Gu Yun asked: "Full?"
"En." Actually, with her cultivation, not eating or drinking was no longer a problem, so there was no issue of hunger either. She just liked good food. Her nostrils flared slightly as she swept a glance at the blood-soaked ground and asked Si Ling Gu Yun, "Shall we leave?" Looking at this scene, staying any longer didn't seem to have much meaning either.
Zhu Miaoqi stepped forward in time to take the tray from Ciling Guhong's hand, and Ciling Guhong naturally took Tang Nian into his arms, "Good."
"Wait a minute!" Lu Jing's unwilling voice rang out, and he asked Tang Nian solemnly: "Snow Swan Master, I observed that you came from the sacred land of Benjiu, do you know how the Shilu Jing is doing in the sacred land?" From the moment Tang Nian appeared, the pure and refreshing fragrance disappeared without a trace. Looking at Lu Renwei, the first elder who had been guarding the sacred land, he had never appeared, and he didn't need to go up to see the already collapsed cave, he could guess that the Shilu Jing had been taken by the woman in front of him.
Tang Nian didn't hesitate for a moment, "I don't know." She had already absorbed the spiritual energy of the Shi Ru Jing Hua and then put the remaining seeds and water into her Green Inner Realm. This person couldn't find them even if they wanted to. Besides, what she took was hers anyway, and if they couldn't beat her, they could forget about getting it back.
Lu Mian's face twitched, and he looked at Tang Nian with a tearless gaze. You said you didn't know, but what about that expression on your face that says 'I took it, what can you do to me'? Are you bullying people? Or are you bullying people?!
"......Snow Swallow's mistress......" Lu Li struggled in desperation as he was dying.
Tang Nian didn't have a chance to speak before Si Ling Gu Hong interrupted him lightly, "Hanmei wine has returned to Xueyuan Manor."
Lu's face changed suddenly.
Zhu Miaoqi smiled and said: "I will send a message to Shu Gezhong immediately."
Lu's expression changed again and again, finally turning into a mixture of disappointment and relief. He understood the meaning of Si Ling Gu Yan, from that day on, Hanmei Wine Residence would return to Xueyuan Mountain Villa, the entire Hanmei Wine Residence would belong to Xueyuan Mountain Villa, as for the Shiliu Jing naturally also belonged to Xueyuan Mountain Villa, belonging to the master of Xueyuan Villa, and also belonging to this Snowy Fate Mistress.
"Hehe!" Ye Lianqiao and Ye Muxiang couldn't help but steal a glance at Lu Li's expression, trying to stifle their giggles. Letting you ask the mistress for something is like losing both wife and soldiers, nothing will be left.
Ye Lianqiao whispered to Mu Xiang: "In the past, the master of the manor never cared about expanding his territory. This Cold Plum Wine is not far from our mountain villa, and in the future, we can often have this plum blossom clear wine!"
Ye Mu Xiang also smiled slyly, "I think in the future our Young Master's good deeds outside will only increase more and more." She secretly took a glance at Tang Nian Nian.
"Do you think so too?" Ye Lianqiao's whole body was filled with a sly smile, "I also think so......" She also sneaked a peek at Tang Nianian.
Then the two sisters looked at each other and smiled, thinking that their future days would definitely be better.
A clear whistle echoed from Zhu Miao's mouth, and a beastly roar responded from not far away. The White Ape carriage descended from the sky, its golden horns and wings dazzling in the sunlight, and landed in front of Si Ling Gu Yun in an instant. It shook its head, flapping its ears, and its golden pupils seemed to flash with a fierce light, apparently its beastly nature had been stirred up by the bloody atmosphere in the garden.
"Wait!" Just as Ciling Guhong was about to get on the carriage with Tang Niannian, a voice stopped him. It was Tang Qiusheng, who quickly stepped forward, his expression anxious and serious. He looked at the two of them, then said to Niannian, "Niannian, my original purpose for coming here was to find the entrance to Xueying Mountain Villa, but I didn't expect to run into you again like this. These past two days, I haven't had a chance to talk to you in detail, but I've noticed some things." He paused, his eyes filled with accusation as he glanced at Ciling Guhong, before turning back to Niannian and revealing the true purpose of his trip. "Niannian, when I went home last year, I heard that Mother was taken away by Xueying Mountain Villa... is it true?"
Tang Nian asked: "You mean Tangmen's second wife, Liu?"
"That's right!" Tang Qiusheng's face lit up with joy, and he also had the mind to rebuke her for her address, "That is your mother, how can you speak so lightly."
Tang Nian was unmoved, "It's been captured and brought to Xueying Mountain Villa."
Tang Qiusheng let out a sigh of relief, "I wonder if Madam is still living in the Snow Swallow Mountain Villa?" In his mind, as long as Tang Nian was there, Liu would definitely be safe and sound, he just didn't know if she was used to it or not, or if she had been ostracized.
"He's dead."
"Ah?" Tang Qiusheng was stunned for a while and asked doubtfully: "Nian Nian, what did you just say?"
Tang Nian said: "I'm saying Liu died."
Tang Qiusheng stumbled backward a few steps, his face pale and twisted as if he had received an extreme shock. He let out a loud roar: "You said my mother is dead? Who killed her? Tell me who killed her!" Although he was asking the question, his eyes fixed on Si Ling Gu Yun were slowly becoming certain.
"It's me." Tang Nian acknowledged calmly.
Tang Qiusheng shouted loudly: "I knew it, I knew it was him! This monster who kills people without blinking! Nian Nian! How can you be with this murderer of your own family? You're even being held by him! Have you forgotten the kindness of your mother to you?! Come back here at once!"
Tang Nian's eyes flickered away, she shouldn't have spoken too much with someone who didn't understand her.
Zhu Miaoqi and Lu Xuan were also speechless for a moment.
Cui Ling saw that she didn't want to speak again, so he hugged her and stepped into the carriage. Zhu Miaoqi sat in the driver's position, while others also mounted their horses, and with a low shout from Zhu Miaoqi, the people and horses of Xueyingshan Manor left as quietly as they had arrived.
"What? Was it me who just answered?" Tang Qiusheng suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone was speechless looking at him. You're just realizing this now?
Just then, Tang Qiusheng covered his head in pain and denied it, "Impossible! Impossible! Nian Nian has been kind and gentle since childhood, and hasn't even killed a chicken, how could she have committed murder? She must have been blinded by that person to take all the blame. Why is Nian Nian so foolish! She can't tell good from bad!"
Everyone was stunned, and they all held their breath. Especially Lu Li, the original owner of the house who had lost everything, felt a surge of blood rushing up his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it down. His face didn't show it, but in his heart, he cursed for the first time, losing his composure: Who was it that couldn't see people clearly and didn't distinguish right from wrong? If that woman could be called gentle and kind, then all the women under the sky were Bodhisattvas incarnate.
At this time, in the distant white carriage.
Cui Ling carefully examined Tang Nian's entire body, not seeing a single injury, then said: "From now on, if you want anything, just tell me and I'll go get it for you. Don't go out alone."
Tang Nian deeply inhaled the unique refreshing scent on his body, feeling somewhat satisfied and lazy, and obediently responded with a soft "oh." Suddenly thinking of something, her eyes lit up, and she turned to gaze at Si Ling Gu Yun with sparkling eyes, "What do you want me to say that I can bring back for you?"
At the sight of her innocent and naive appearance, a hint of sadness in his heart disappeared without a trace, dissolving into nothingness. His lips curled up slightly, imperceptibly, "En."
"Yunhai blood coral, white gold purple dew grass, long spring stone bamboo, deep wave spirit lotus, cluster wind chime grass, blue diamond lotus..."
Finally, Tang Nian said with no pressure at all: "The person who was with Tang Qiusheng told me that his name is Guan Zichu. Although his family can't be considered the best in the world, they do have some wealth and connections. They also have a lot of rare treasures. If I'm interested, I can go to their house for a visit. Can you help me get these treasures from his house?"
He had just said not to let her travel alone, so it would take some time for her to beat him. Let him help himself get there, and also avoid the trouble of checking where Guan Zhong's family lived initially, rushing on the road, etc.
Tang Nian completely didn't notice that the surname Guan was the imperial surname of Jin Country. Guan Zichu didn't say it clearly because he thought she should know, and finding the imperial family would be easy, so there's no need to elaborate, lest people think him arrogant.
Ciling solitary goose responded without hesitation.
Tang Nian added: "His family should have said more than that. If there's more, bring it all over."
"Good."
The conversation between the two people didn't have any intention of going to rob someone's house, it was as if they were discussing what to eat today.
A few days later, the Hanmei Wine House was occupied by the Xueying Mountain Villa. After a few more days, the Jin Country's Youwang Palace was robbed, and the treasury was swept clean, not even a single hair left behind. It can be said that wherever they passed, nothing was left standing, only an empty room remained, the wind blew but didn't knock it down, people passed by but left no trace.
