Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 76
Chapter 76 You Want Me Dead
While they were still chatting, the hunters over there had already beaten up the wild animals and prepared to roast them.
Qiao Yunxi picked up a branch and scratched on the ground a few times before suddenly stopping.
Even though she instantly returned to normal, Shen Huaihao and Gu Jinzhen were still vigilant in discovering why she was so vigilant.
The two exchanged glances.
Gu Jinzhen quietly took two steps and stood between Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Yunxi.
Qiao Yunxi sneered.
Was she worried that she would use Qiao Jinwen to cover her back?
The ground trembled and everyone finally sensed that something was wrong.
Qiao Jinwen instinctively leaned towards Qiao Yi as the howls of the animals spread from far to near.
Qiao Yi was also scared to the point his legs went limp. “What, what is it?”
“Wild boar.” Qiao Yunxi said coldly.
“Wild, wild boar? You, it’s you!” Qiao Jinwen pointed at Qiao Yunxi and said, “Your Wei Nanshui killed the wild boar cubs. They’re coming!”
“Qiao Qiao, you, you” Qiao Yi was also so anxious that she couldn’t speak coherently.
“If you have time to criticize me here, you should think of a way to deal with the swarm of pigs that are chasing after you.”
Qiao Yi and Qiao Jinwen were extremely nervous.
Qiao Jinwen was worried about Shen Huaihao’s presence and could not act too cowardly. However, she really couldn’t do it if she wanted her to stand in front of Shen Huaihao.
Although this was a good opportunity, it was a wild boar. She didn’t dare to bet.
They grabbed the corner of Qiao Yi’s clothes and hid behind the hunter.
Wei Nanshui stood in front of Qiao Yunxi.
Qiao Xi sighed regretfully as she looked at the two black dots rapidly approaching from afar.
She really didn’t come at the right time. If it weren’t for the obstructions around her, she would have personally gone up and had a good chance to practice her skills.
Gu Jinzhen glanced coldly at Qiao Xi. He was too calm, and his eyes were filled with eagerness to try. His face was filled with regret.
“Whoosh!”
Following the wild boar’s provocation, Wei Nanshui was the first to charge over.
No matter how powerful his skill was, he only had two hands and could only stop a wild boar. Even if the dagger was deeply stabbed into the boar’s neck, not only did the strong wild boar not immediately fall down, it became even more manic.
The other wild boar pounced towards Qiao Xi.
Gu Jinzhen instinctively shook his body, but he instantly moved back. In a blink of an eye, he directly killed Qiao Yunxi.
“Gu Sheng!” Shen Huaihao’s voice was drowned in the wild boar’s howl.
For some reason, that wild boar recognized Qiao Yunxi!
Seeing this, a few hunters hurriedly surrounded her.
Such actions directly caused Qiao Yi and Qiao Jinwen to be exposed, causing them to panic.
The wild boar rampaged wildly, unable to stop it at all, and no one dared to stop it.
Qiao Yunxi stealthily took a step back, only to find that there was no way to retreat!
Dian Xue!
Something only on TV!
Who pointed at her acupoint through the air?
The hunter couldn’t even pull the wild boar, but the rope around its body pulled them back a few steps, and the few people who didn’t have time to stop were dragged to the ground, their bodies covered in injuries.
Qiao Yunxi’s eyes turned red.
Black condom!
This was asking her to die!
He turned around and stared at Gu Jinzhen without blinking.
Gu Jinzhen expressionlessly greeted her gaze.
No emotions, no anger, no schadenfreude, no protection for Qiao Jinwen.
He simply wanted her to die without any reason. It was just that … interest had arisen.
That’s all!
Qiao Xi could see her figure from Gu Jinzhen’s dark eyes. The small ball gradually turned ashen.
“Qiao Qiao!” Shen Huaihao roared angrily and slapped the wheelchair forcefully, causing his entire body to soar into the air.
Gu Jinzhen curled his lips regretfully.
Qiao Xi gritted her teeth. Her dantian was lucky. When no one reacted, she smashed her head towards Qiao Jinwen.
Gu Jinzhen was shocked that Qiao Yunxi was actually able to break through the acupoints!
The most innocent one was Qiao Jinwen. She was in a daze and directly met the wild boar’s fangs!
Qiao Yi could no longer think.
He saw the whole process, but he didn’t understand how these scenes were pieced together.
Asphyxiation!
Qiao Yunxi’s neck was grabbed by Gu Jinzhen’s hand.
Gu Jinzhen’s eyes were red, and the waves in his eyes were like a storm.
Shen Huaihao responded, and with a flick of his sleeve, he lightly knocked Gu Jinzhen’s hand off.
Gu Jinzhen instinctively moved his body and carried Shen Huaihao behind his back.
On Qiao Jinwen’s side, Wei Nanshui grabbed her in time. At the same time, he grabbed the fangs of the wild boar with his other hand. With a fierce pull, the fangs of the wild boar were broken. Under the penetrating force, the fat body of the wild boar fell to the ground.
The hunters ignored their own misery and joined forces to tie up the wild boar.
It was only a matter of a few breaths. The group of people were injured, frightened, and in a sorry state.
“Think about how to give me a convincing reason.” Shen Huaihao leaned on Gu Jinzhen’s back and said in an ethereal tone.
Gu Jinzhen stubbornly remained silent.
He knew that this matter could not be treated well, so his little uncle was angry.
In that instant, he really wanted the life of the Poison Woman, but when his little uncle knocked off his hand, what was the relief in his heart?
Contradiction!
His head was a mess, and he didn’t want to think at all.
Qiao Yunxi sucked in a few breaths of air and smoothed the suffocating feeling of lack of oxygen.
The group of people helped each other down the mountain.
As Wei Nanshui passed by Shen Huaihao and Gu Jinzhen, he looked at them provocatively. Not only was it a naked warning, but it was also a declaration of war with killing intent!
Shen Huaihao explained the situation to Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu and deliberately concealed the matter of Gu Jinzhen targeting Qiao Yunxi. Even so, the husband and wife still complained very much about Shen Huaihao.
Qiao Xingbang said even more dryly, “Crown Prince, my Qiao Qiao’s health is not good. If possible, it is better not to let my Qiao Qiao accompany me in hunting. After all, she is a girl, so there should be rules.”
“Master Qiao is right. I didn’t think about it properly today, so I dragged everyone down on a whim.” Shen Huaihao’s attitude was very good, and he was indeed very guilty.
His nephew’s hatred towards Qiao Qiao was heavier than he had estimated. However, he could also see through his nephew’s contradictions and hesitations. That was why he repeatedly probed his nephew’s bottom line and found out where the contradictions between him and Qiao Qiao came from. The first was to resolve the contradictions, and the second was to eliminate the nephew’s inner demons.
His nephew still had more important things to do. Being trapped by the inner demon would affect his entire life.
His nephew was young, but he had more experience than his peers and was even more cruel. These were all precious trials. His nephew still had a lot to learn. Growing up was a long process. Right now, what he needed the most was to learn to “control”.
Control your emotions.
Control your behavior.
Although the group of people were in a bit of a sorry state, other than the few hunters who had bruises on their bodies, the others were safe and sound.
Under Shen Huaihao’s instructions, Gu Jingshu had the kitchen prepare the prey for the barbecue this afternoon.
After Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Yi returned, they first went back to their rooms to tidy up. When they appeared in front of everyone, their expressions were pretty good and they adjusted quickly.
Qiao Xi followed Nanny Zhong back to her room. Nanny Zhong confirmed that she was not injured, so she reported it to Gu Jingshu without worry.
Lunch was very casual. Because it was roasted meat and the weather was good today, everyone set up a grill in the courtyard.
This kind of thing naturally required one’s own hands to have fun. Shen Huaihao and Gu Jinzhen were the most experienced. They fought all year round. The two of them had their own set of barbecue meat. The spices on the manor were very complete. Shen Huaihao only needed to make two commands. The rest was Gu Jinzhen’s business.
However, the person who came was a guest. Qiao Xingbang would not really want Gu Jinzhen to make a move. He knew that this brat who had targeted his daughter everywhere was Marquis Zhen Yuan’s grandson, and his identity was there. Therefore, after Gu Jinzhen pickled the wild animals and put them on the grill, the rest was up to the chef.
“This is … Plum Blossom Wine?” Shen Huaihao took a sip of the sake Qiao Xingbang handed him and asked in surprise.
Seeing Qiao Xingbang nod, Shen Huaihao became even more interested. “I only know about osmanthus wine and peach wine. This is the first time I’ve heard of plum wine.”
“Osmanthus wine and peach blossom wine are both common wines. Plum blossoms are rarely used to brew wine, but they are not uncommon. It’s just that ordinary people don’t have that kind of leisure. This plum blossom wine was made last year when Qiao Qiao brought Maid to collect the plum blossoms in the courtyard. Today is a good day.” Qiao Xingbang’s calm tone did not make it difficult to tell what Qiao Xingbang was showing off.
“Qiao Qiao has a heart with seven orifices.”
As the daughter of the first wife of the Qiao Family, who was “unfamiliar” with the Duke’s Mansion of Zhen Yuan, being able to obtain this evaluation was already highly appreciated.
“Qiao Qiao has been smart since she was young.” After finding an opportunity to interrupt, Qiao Jinwen ignored the presence of her elders and said, “Although she doesn’t like to talk, she is the most independent of us. No wonder grandmother loves her the most.”
Qiao Xingbang frowned, but did not stop him.
He could probably guess what Fourth Fang was going to do.
“Indeed, among us brothers and sisters, it belongs to Qiao Qiao’s grandmother the most.” Qiao Yi agreed and handed half of the wild boar meat to Gu Jinzhen.
Gu Jinzhen took it and put it on the fire to continue roasting.
“That’s right. Grandmother still favors me more.” Qiao Xi’s mouth was full of oil.
Qiao Yi and Qiao Jinwen saw her complacent appearance and became even more stupid.
‘”Uncle Shen,” Qiao Yunxi approached Shen Huaihao. “You don’t know, do you? My grandmother likes me and my mother, especially the vegetables and fruits on my mother’s manor. Every year, she asks my mother to send them back to Qiao Manor, not only for the big kitchen in the public school, but also for the small kitchens in the other rooms.”
“Qiao Qiao!” Qiao Jinwen stopped Qiao Yunxi and said, “You child, why are you saying these words to the Crown Prince?”
“I’m telling the truth,” Qiao Xi said with a show-off look. “it ‘s been like this for so many year, You can see how much grandmother likes me and my mother, “Last night, I specially called our Changfang back. Because mother didn’t bring back the harvest of this year’s manor, grandmother asked. She also instructed that our Changfang must send back the things before leaving. This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner and New Year’s Eve gift, mother must be prepared. There isn’t enough silver in the male. Our Changfang can see how much grandmother valued our Changfang.”
It was as if he was dragging two hundred fifty thousand to eighty thousand yuan.
