Cuiflower was sitting by the kang, with two shelled chestnuts in her hand and stuffing them into her mouth."Always meddling in other people's business when there's work to be done at home!"She muttere..."You... what are you going to do!" The Third Princess wished she had wings to fly out immediately, but her legs were simply too weak. She could only try her best to remain calm and shout.
Originally, Li Laotai, Tao Hongying, and Zhao Yuru, three generations of mother-in-law and daughters-in-law, each held a porcelain bowl in their left hand and a sharp knife in their right!
"Don't be afraid, Your Highness," Li Laotai said with a cold smile. "We're not here to kill you."
"What are you doing with your knives You... how dare you! I am a princess, how bold of you!" The Third Princess, finally finding some courage upon hearing she wasn't going to be killed, demanded in a sharp voice.
But Li Lao's Ta then stepped forward two steps, approaching the princess and saying: “I heard a few words outside just now. The princess is forcing our Fu Niuer to plead with the Empress and the Wu family”
The Empress and the Wu family wanted to kill my dear Fu Niuer before, putting her heart and blood at risk. If we let them out, who knows if they won't harm my Fu Niuer again!
"Why would the princess let them out I thought about it carefully, the princess probably still remembers that bowl of heart blood! "
"As a grandmother, I am useless. I couldn't protect my precious little Foonier. I can't disobey the princess's order, but I can die for our Foonier!"
"Right now, before the princess, I will cut out my own heart and place it in a bowl of blood. I'll ask you to take this back to her. From now on, your Wu family should stop thinking about harming our Fu Niu'er!"
Having said that, she was about to raise the sharp knife and point it at her own chest.
The Third Princess was so frightened her face turned pale. She bit her lip hard, suppressing a scream.
Jiayin was so scared that she jumped, fearing her grandmother would hurt herself. "Grandma, put down the knife!"
She was about to pounce, but Tao Hongying's glare froze her in place.
Tao Hongying took two steps forward, standing beside the old woman. With a blank expression, she lifted the porcelain bowl in her hand and presented it to the princess, saying: "If Your Highness finds one bowl insufficient, then have two!"
"I also gouged out my heart to bring back to the princess!"
"And me too!" Zhao Yuru also stepped forward with a composed face, raising her bowl as well. "Three bowls of blood, three lives, surely that will satisfy the princess"
Then, the three of them, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, all raised their knives. Whether intentionally or not, the tips of their blades were all pointed at the Third Princess.
The third princess was dazzled by the cold blade light, as if she were about to be bathed in blood in the next instant.
She could no longer bear it. She stepped back, trembling as she said, “No, I don’t want to! You misunderstood!”
She turned and ran out the door as soon as she got there.
Her two grandmothers heard the noise and rushed into the backyard.
The Third Princess screamed frantically at them, "Come on, quick, back to the palace! I want to go back to the palace!"
Both nannies dared not delay, almost dragging the princess in haste out of the house and onto the carriage...
Jiayin didn't care how the Third Princess walked, she quickly snatched the knives from her grandmother and the others' hands, afraid they would take them back.
"Grandma, mother, aunt, what are you doing What if you get hurt"
Jiayin was really worried. Although she knew the people at home were just scaring the Third Princess, a knife isn't blind! What if it accidentally hurt her!
Elder Li let out a long sigh of relief, supported herself with the bedside table and sat down, scolding: “It's all because of that stupid princess!
I'm afraid she'll bully you, so I wanted to eavesdrop a little. But instead, she has the audacity to ask you to go and plead with the Empress and the Wu family!
Her mother gave birth to her in a stable, and she was kicked by a donkey as soon as she was born! She has the head of a gourd, looks tall, but doesn't have any brains!
“How could she possibly say such a thing If it weren't for the fact that she’s a princess, I’d shove her in the latrine and give her a good dunking!”
Tao Hongying also scolded: “Isn’t that right It's a thing that eats people's rice but doesn't pull out their **!
"When the Lord and Old Four come back, tell them to stop killing barbarians. They should just stay home obediently!"
"Or, marry this foolish princess to the barbarians. I guarantee that within three years, they'll wreak havoc and destroy their own kingdom!"
Jia Yin heard it and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Grandma and mother are really furious right now, scolding each other fiercely without holding back.
Jia Yin helped Zhao Yuru, whose legs had turned weak, to sit down. Seeing her frightened face pale with fear, she quickly reassured her: "Auntie, don't be afraid, the princess has already been scared away and will definitely not come again."
Zhao Yuru was just now holding on with all her might, but now that she's calmed down, she feels a little weak.
She patted her niece's hand and whispered, "Funiu'er, you shouldn't be afraid.
"
"Your aunt is supposed to protect you. From now on, whenever any princess comes here, pretend to be sick and don't see her. Every time you meet her, something bad happens!"
"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt." Jia Yin hugged San Bo Niang and rubbed her face affectionately, making San Bo Niang finally smile.
Actually, even if Grandma and the others don't come, she still has a way to teach the Third Princess a lesson.
But it feels so good to be protected and loved by family!
She ran to hug her mother again and acted cute with her grandmother for a while, giving her a big kiss.
Tao Hongying saw that her daughter didn't seem like she was in any trouble at all, so she gently tapped her forehead and scolded her: "You are a mouse carrying a gun in the nest! When that idiot just bullied you, why didn't you fight back"
"There was nobody else in the house at the time, you're the one who scared her to death! Even others can't say it's your fault!"
"Next time, remember to be more assertive! I and your grandmother and aunt can't protect you forever."
"Why can't I" Jia Yin giggled, hugging her grandmother and swaying. "I'll be taking Grandma, Mama, and Aunt with me wherever I go from now on!"
"Yes, you're tying us to your apron strings even after you get married!" Tao Hongying said with a wry smile and then started looking for a sharp knife.
"Where is my knife It's waiting in the kitchen, I just made a pot of pickled mustard greens and it's ready to be paired with braised pork!"
Jia Yin took a step back, revealing the sharp dagger that was lying by the edge of the kang.
Tao Hongying immediately spotted it, picked it up, and exclaimed happily, “It’s found! I haven't lost it. These are the most comfortable knives I use.”
Having said that, she took Zhao Yuru's hand and walked back to the front yard.
Jia Yin asked Grandma to stay for a while longer. He took two ripe bananas from the space and gave them to Grandma to eat. Then he took out a pile of medicine powder and a dagger, showing them to Grandma and saying a few words every now and then.
"Give San Ge a bottle of this powder. He's in jail, if anyone bothers him, just sprinkle some and even a cow will instantly be unable to move."
"This is an antidote, it can cure most poisons in the world! Third brother eats food sent by our restaurant, so there's definitely no problem. But we still need to be prepared for anything."
"This is hemostatic powder. Sprinkle a little on any wounds for quick bleeding and pain relief. I also sent your brother a bottle."
Old Mrs. Li was eating a banana and listening to her granddaughter chatter. She knew her granddaughter was comforting her, not wanting her to worry too much.
She sighed softly in her heart. Her children had grown up, filial and sensible, and willing to support each other.
Maybe she could truly let go, and not live in fear every day...
A cold wind blew past the window, secretly listening to the conversation between the two generations. Frightened by the medicine and the poison, it opened its mouth in a grimace and drifted up onto the roof, only to almost lose its soul...t it, quite satisfied. He nodded at the two people.The original elderly, sick and disabled people from the relief office were just like the rats in this new city, annoying and unwelcome.Some people, w...
