Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 171
Chapter 171 Assassinate
“What’s the matter?” Su Wanwan said.
“This thing can’t be eaten. Why did you pick her up? There are so many stones in there. If you eat it, you will get sick!” Qian Duoduo glared at Su Wanwan, and then she was about to pick up the pot with the armor and pour it away.
Su Wanwan stretched out her hand to stop him and said, “I will make them spit out all the stones inside. Don’t worry, just wait and eat.”
“Stone isn’t a big problem! The problem is that it can’t be eaten! It’s poisonous!” Qian Duoduo’s tone became impatient as she shouted at Su Wanwan. Qian Duoduo and Qian Niang were busy in the room, and when they heard this, they ran over.
Seeing the flower armor in the basin, their brows furrowed. Their parents said, “Miss, this thing can’t be eaten. It’s under the river every day. It’s very dirty and there are many stones on its body. Before we rented this place, the former owner of this place warned that this thing can’t be eaten. Furthermore … I heard that someone died after eating this thing.”
So this was the reason! Su Wanwan shook her head and laughed, “Auntie, those things are just things I heard. When others said that they can’t eat, they can’t eat. Have you tried it? It’s very nourishing! When I was young, there were a lot of nails growing there. We liked it very much and always went to the river to get it.”
“This” Qian Niang glanced at Qian Dad and knew that she couldn’t beat him. Just as she was about to say something, Qian Duoduo said angrily, “Then you like to eat! We don’t care if you eat until you die!”
Although Qian Duoduo was angry, he still couldn’t help but add, “This place is far from town. Others say that you can’t eat, so don’t try. Even if you’re sick, I can’t send you to the clinic!”
After saying that, she glared at Su Wanwan angrily and ran out. Qian Niang said embarrassedly, “Miss, I’m sorry. My daughter is just a saber-mouthed tofu heart. She’s not sensible. Don’t take it to heart.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Su Wanwan finally understood why the medical conditions in ancient times were not good, and delicacies were always difficult to discover by courageous people.
Su Wanwan wanted to say something else, but Qian Father and Qian Niang had already left. Su Wanwan looked at the armor and thought that she couldn’t eat that much anymore. She took some more and went to the water tank to raise it.
At noon, Qian Niang picked up a fish and cooked, Su Wanwan had already started to play around in the kitchen. A lot of nails opened up in the pot, revealing smooth and tender meat. Su Wanwan secretly boiled them from the space with spring water and added a secret sauce. She originally wanted to make spicy nails, but because she was afraid of being questioned about chili peppers, she only made garlic-scented nails, which tasted very delicious.
Su Wanwan brought out the dishes and served them well. Then, she cooked fish with Qian Niang.
There were guests at home, so Qian Niang took out a handful of the peanuts from her collection. When they were cooked, they were smashed into powder and put into a pot. Su Wanwan was puzzled, but she did not ask.
Occasionally, when the fish was ready, they would bring the dishes up. The dishes looked very sumptuous. However, the Qian Family only moved their chopsticks towards the fish and the cooked wild vegetables. Only Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng ate the armor.
“Everyone, this armor really isn’t poisonous. I ate it when I was young. I’ve lived until now. What are you guys afraid of? Just eat it.” Su Wanwan was extremely enthusiastic. She even put one in Qian Duoduo’s bowl, which was the closest to her. Qian Duoduo directly picked up the armor and glared at Su Wanwan angrily. “Don’t tell me you want to kill me, woman! I won’t eat!”
Just as Su Wanwan was about to say something, Qi Chengfeng glanced at Qian Duoduo and put one in Su Wanwan’s bowl with his chopsticks. He said, “Eat it. When we eat it, we won’t have any illnesses. Everyone won’t be afraid anymore. We can eat together at that time.”
“Alright.” Su Wanwan thought for a moment. It was also the same principle. Why would she use her hot face to cover someone else’s cold butt?
At first, Qi Chengfeng did not like to eat it, but he always felt that it was strange. The smell of garlic was still a little strong, and in the end, it was even faster than Su Wanwan’s.
A plate of shells was piled up in front of the two of them and they ate with relish. When the Qian family saw it, they were a little greedy. There was indeed nothing wrong with the two of them eating. Qian Fu added one, and when he ate it, he felt that it was filled with delicious fragrance and soft muscles. He praised, “Young lady, the food you cooked is really delicious! This Young Master is blessed!”
Qian Duoduo snorted coldly and took a bite. He couldn’t stop eating and his thoughts towards Su Wanwan changed a lot.
Su Wanwan only smiled and served the dishes to everyone. Then, she warned, “There will definitely be a shortage of this armor in the future. You can raise it more. As for how to raise it, I’ll teach you after eating it.”
Qian Fu immediately agreed, feeling that Su Wanwan could really bring him to his fortune.
As everyone was eating, Qian Niang suddenly asked about Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng’s origins. Su Wanwan said, “My surname is Su, and his surname is Qi. We are from the prefecture. We were orphans from childhood. We grew up eating a hundred kinds of food, and then we got married.”
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo’s heart suddenly became filled with grief. “Then … what about your parents?” He said.
“My parents … are dead.” As Su Wanwan spoke, she suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly. The smile on her lips made people feel miserable and sad.
Everyone immediately stopped talking, ate quietly, and didn’t ask about Qi Chengfeng’s background.
Qian Duoduo couldn’t help but feel sad in her heart. After dinner, she took advantage of Qian Niang to tidy up the table and pulled Su Wanwan to apologize. Only then did Su Wanwan realize that Qian Duoduo wasn’t specifically targeting her. She was envious of Su Wanwan’s well-dressed and pleasant voice when she first met her. She was also a little jealous that she had married a very handsome teenager.
Actually, Su Wanwan had already inquired about the Qian Clan’s background from the animals in the fishery. She also knew about Qian Duoduo’s background. Qian Duoduo was not the daughter of the Qian Clan. It was understandable that Qian Duoduo was afraid of being snatched away by someone else when she saw the fishery.
If not for the fact that she knew the background behind this, Su Wanwan would not have been able to endure it.
Seeing her shy expression, Su Wanwan comforted, “It doesn’t matter. The past is over. I’m only thirteen or fourteen years old. We can also be sisters. If you don’t mind, you can call me Sister Su in the future.”
“This is naturally the best!” Qian Duoduo laughed happily. Suddenly, her throat seemed to be stuck and her voice could not come out. Su Wanwan was shocked and pulled her to sit down. Suddenly, she realized that Qian Duoduo’s throat was swollen and her face was a little swollen. She looked poisoned!
Qian Niang came over to pick up the plate and suddenly saw it. She was shocked and called Qian Dado. Seeing that Qian Duoduo’s throat was as if he had been stung by a bee, she was afraid in her heart. She didn’t care about anything and scolded Su Wanwan head-on, “Miss Su, I told you that the armor can’t be eaten!” You have to let us eat! This is good! My daughter was poisoned! Don’t blame me for not taking care of you. You must compensate me! At least twenty to thirty taels of silver! ”
Father Qian also said with a cold face, “You’re actually uneasy and kind! My daughter is already so sick, you must compensate her! We need to take her to the hospital!”
“I will compensate you, but I have to save more now.” Su Wanwan said without raising her head.
“It shouldn’t be compensated.” Qi Chengfeng walked out from behind the kitchen. When Qian Father and Qian Niang saw this, their faces immediately turned pale. “Young Master Qi, did you just … hear everything?”
What kind of situation was this? Su Wanwan was stunned. Why did this situation look like a trap? And she was the one who was plotted against!
