Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hidden Arrows Hurt
"Smoke! ”
"Second sister!"
"Sister Hua!"
One after another exclamations sounded, making Huaxi smoke noisy. Her head was buzzing, and all voices were inaudible. There was some dizziness in front of him, only the needle rain, the silver shining needle, in the misty vision, was extremely clear.
Suddenly, there seems to be a burst of elegant pine and bamboo incense, in this fragrant flower hall, elegant and pleasant, light fragrance is compelling.
Hua Xiyan felt a tightness in his waist, and before he had time to take a closer look, his body suddenly rose into the air, and after a whirlwind, he fell into a bamboo-scented and elegant embrace. And around her waist, a very thin silkworm silver filament was tightly wrapped.
Yun Qi's hand holding Hua Xiyan was trembling faintly, and even his jaw was clenched because of his clenched teeth, revealing an abnormal blue and white. He looked down at Huaxiyan, his narrow phoenix eyes were as dark and deep as the ocean, but there seemed to be turbulent waves in his eyes, which made people frightened.
He hugged Huaxi Yan and swirled down, his wide sleeves were relaxed, and a soft breeze overflowed from his sleeves, but it made the many silver needles fold back the same way.
From the very beginning when Yun Qi appeared, the people on the scene turned from the shock brought by the countless hidden weapons to this peerless man, and now seeing his cold face, he couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart.
Xie Yan hurriedly retreated, but the needle came towards her with a lot of strength, Rao is her kung fu is not bad, but she still can't dodge.
Hua Xiyan's face was a little paler than just now, and she looked up at Yun Qi and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Yun Qi was stunned.
A jade pendant broke through the air and blocked Xie Yan's chest, stopping the silver needle that was enough to penetrate her for her. The silver needle hit the jade folding fan, making an extremely crisp sound, and then "fluttering" to the ground.
Xie Yan did not recover from the panic just now, and turned her head to look at the person who threw the jade pendant blankly.
Seeing that Yun Wei had saved Xie Yan, Hua Xiyan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
It's not that she doesn't hate Xie Yan, but that the needle was made by Yun Qi to save her, and besides, this person has just returned to Beijing, if he offends the Xie family of Chen County so quickly, I am afraid that he will be in a difficult situation in the future.
Yun Wei's appearance seemed to be expected by Yun Qi, he didn't look at it, his fingers moved slightly, and the heavenly silk on Hua Xiyan's waist was included in his sleeve.
Hua Xiyan's eyes slowly swept over people's faces, clearly taking people's surprise, amazement, fear and other expressions into their eyes, and finally, the eyes fell on a messy ground.
Yang Jincheng's jade bone fan, Wang Lan's Bauhinia cup, Wang Yao's Guogong seal, and countless porcelain cups and jade chopsticks were all shattered into pieces.
Hua Xiyan's lips hooked up an extremely soft smile, like a spring flower blooming, beautiful and moving, but it made the people present confused. My life is almost gone, so what's so ridiculous?
She stepped forward slowly and walked out of Yun Qi's arms. Yun Qi felt that the silky brocade in his hand was slowly flowing out of his fingers like quicksand, and he couldn't help but curl his fingertips slightly and slowly droop.
Hua Xiyan walked directly to the three feet in front of Xie Yan, looked at her sideburns that were slightly messy due to evasion, and was silent.
She did everything she had to do, and the rest naturally didn't need her to take action.
Sure enough, the next moment, I saw Wang Jin rushing down from his seat, blocking in front of Hua Xiyan, and said fiercely at Xie Yan: "Miss Xie, are you going to kill your sister?" ”
Hua Xiyan never knew that Wang Jin, who had always been clever and polite, could have such a loud voice, and she couldn't help but feel a spirit when she stood behind him, let alone Xie Yan, who was facing him directly.
Xie Yan, who was already a little inexplicable, was even more blindsided by such a voice, she blinked, and asked in a somewhat stunned tone, "What did you say?" ”
Wang Jin's eyes widened, and he looked at Xie Yan with an expression that wanted to tear the other party apart: "I'm asking you, why did you kill my second sister!" ”
Xie Yan came back to her senses and was about to say something to argue, but she turned her head to look at the dulcimer next to her, and she couldn't say anything when the words of rebuttal came to her mouth.
"Miss Xie!" Mrs. Wang walked quickly, although her voice was still polite, but her face still did not have the usual gentleness, and she was obviously extremely angry.
"The silver needle is coming out of your instrument, and it's facing the smoke. If that's the case, what else do you have to say? Mrs. Wang's chest rose and fell violently, and her skirt was a little messy because the pace was too fast. But she didn't care at all, she just stared at Xie Yan fixedly, and she had to hear the reason from her mouth.
"I ...... I didn't! Xie Yan muttered for a long time, and spit out these three words stiffly.
She really didn't know how to explain it. How could the strings of a good dulcimer suddenly break, and so many silver needles shot out by chance?
Wang Qi sneered, also walked over, stood in front of a few people, and said every word: "Just now, Miss Xie invited her sister to play the piano, and her sister refused in every way, but Miss Xie was unrelenting. Can I say that, if it weren't for the lack of skill of the sister, then the person who committed the assassination would have become the sister? After the sister played safely, Miss Xie was unwilling to be robbed of the limelight and held a grudge, so she wanted to get rid of it? Now that the matter has been revealed, he has begun to deny it in every possible way and shirk responsibility. Miss Xie, is that all of your Chen Jun Xie's upbringing! ”
With Wang Qi's every word spitting out, Xie Yan's face became more and more ugly, and finally she couldn't help but burst out: "Shut up!" ”
"If Miss Xie thinks that what my third brother said is wrong, she can correct it, let's have a good theory! Today's matter, Miss Xie must give an explanation! Wang Jin's mood has calmed down a lot, and he has returned to his previous image of a handsome son, but he still doesn't let go of what he says.
Xie Yan was silent for an instant, bowed her head slightly, her expression was cold, and she tried to think about the causes and consequences of today's events.
"Ah, what's wrong with Miss Wen?"
Hua Xiyan suddenly covered his lips and exclaimed, in this silent environment, it was like a boulder thrown into the calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.
When everyone heard this, they saw Wen Mei leaning on the maid's arms with a pale face, frowning and moaning.
Because the momentum just now was too tense, Wen Mei's voice was completely annihilated, almost inaudible.
"My sister has a silver needle on her shoulder!" Wen Lin's face was a look of worry that could not be concealed, and she half-supported Wen Mei and said in a scorching voice.
Wang Lan stepped forward and brushed aside the green silk that Wen Mei was hanging on her chest, and really saw the tail of the silver needle shining in the red Luo skirt light shirt, which was extremely conspicuous.
Perhaps because the strength of the dulcimer is not enough, otherwise the needle can completely penetrate Wen Mei's body, and it will not show half a clue at all.
"Go and call the doctor!" Wang Lan commanded at the maidservant on the side.
The servant girl took the order and went away in a panic.
"Why didn't your young lady just open her mouth when she was shot!" Hua Xiyan's eyes glared fiercely at the maid who was holding Wen Mei, and said sharply.
The servant girl shook her body, and immediately fell to her knees in a panic, trembling and unable to say a word.
"Second Miss Wang is angry." Wen Mei looked at Hua Xiyan, her eyes were as gentle as a spring breeze in March, "It's all the maids in the family who haven't taught me well, and I can't stand the surprise at all, I will definitely discipline me carefully after I go back, and I will definitely not cause any trouble to the Wang family." ”
Hua Xiyan naturally knew that everyone was frightened by the scene just now. And she was indeed afraid that Wen Mei would cause unnecessary trouble to the Wang family in the end, and now she was much more relieved to hear Wen Lin say this.
Xie Yan strode up, and when she saw Wen Mei with a weak face, her expression became even more ugly.
Although this needle did not hurt Huaxi Yan, the Wang family kept saying that he wanted justice. Now that Wen Mei has been injured again, I am afraid that the Wen family will not stop there.
Thinking of this, Xie Yan exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath in her chest. She really doesn't know where she got into such a fishy body!
After checking Wen Mei's injuries behind the screen, he only said that fortunately, the strength of the silver needle was not heavy, so it was only a skin injury, and the texture damage was not big, and there was no big problem if it was well conditioned, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard it.
Wen Mei has been pampered since she was a child, and she usually can't stand the slightest pain, but now she has been hit by a hidden weapon, and her shoulder pain is even more palpitating. Although the royal palace doctor said that it was fine, she was still a little flustered.
"Go home!" Wen Mei half-closed her eyes, held Wen Lin's hand and whispered.
Wen Lin looked stunned, and immediately looked up at everyone in the Wang family, and sure enough, several people did not look good.
Wang Jin sneered coldly: "What does Miss Wen mean?" Could it be that I am afraid that the doctor of my palace will do something? ”
The contradiction between the Wang family and the Wen family is no secret, but now that it is said on the big picture, everyone's expressions can't help but be a little subtle.
"The fourth prince is too worried. The medical skills of the royal palace doctor are naturally excellent. It's just that my sister is surprised now, and she is afraid that there will be something inappropriate to stay any longer that will disturb everyone's mood, so she resigned and returned home. Wen Mei spoke slowly, with a generous and decent smile on her face, unaffected by some of the tension she was in now.
Wang Jin was about to say something more, but Wang Qi pulled him, so he glared at the three of him and kept silent.
"It's rude!" Wen Lin bowed her head to everyone in the Wang family, and a blue ribbon on her head hung down with green silk, like a river with clear sea and sky, extremely light and elegant.
"Everyone, go slowly!" Mrs. Wang's impression of Wen Lin seemed to be very good, and her face, which had just sunk a little from anger, regained a generous and decent smile.
Wen Lin smiled apologetically at everyone present, and then helped Wen Mei to leave slowly.
Just a few steps away, Wen Lin suddenly turned her head, looked at Xie Yan, and spit out a serious sentence that was extremely inconsistent with her weak appearance: "Today's matter, I hope Miss Xie will give my Wen family an explanation!" ”
Xie Yan paused his hands, and a fine Hangzhou embroidered brocade silk handkerchief in his hand was broken into two sections in an instant. The sound of cracking silk was extremely clear in the silent flower hall.
