strands of stray hair, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, the tip of his nose and the corners of his lips, accompanied me through the four seasons in the quiet night.I braced myself and leaned in,...My brother immediately dodged, the powder flew in the air, and we both inhaled some.

"Cough, cough, cough…" The powder smelled pungent and irritating.

I raised my hand and rubbed it, and I actually got a nosebleed!

The old crone cackled wickedly, "You should know better than to be disrespectful, young one. What do you mean 'old hag' I am a fairy goddess!"

What is a fairy lady

I hastily stuffed tissue into my nose to stop the bleeding, silently reciting mantras to summon a minor spirit. There's something fishy about this bag of powder, I wonder if it's poisonous.

The little imp was startled when he saw me bleeding from my nose! He immediately called the other little imp, Daidi, to report back, while he quickly shackled the old woman with a chain.

"Old woman, you should also know respect. Don't think that because we are young, you can act your age and take advantage of us. I don't want to hurt you... Just bring out the antidote, or else I'll capture your soul essence. At worst, I'll spend a little more effort to make up for my karmic debt." I pressed a tissue to my nose and whispered threats to this old woman.

The old woman was taken aback, staring at me in astonishment: "Who are you!"

"...Insider, you used strange magic to hurt people. What is your purpose What did you do to my friend Why did she suddenly faint Quickly bring the antidote!" I removed the tissue and held out my hand to her.

My brother inhaled more powder than me, and at this moment he was squatting beside me treating his nosebleed. He wiped it while shouting: "This old hag must be a witch! A fairy mother Fairy mother, you grandpa! Don't think that we'll be afraid of you just because you used some poison! Tell us what you did just now honestly, or else we'll imprison your soul!"

The old woman chuckled twice: "The good thing about poison and curses... is that you dare not kill me... I've only given you a little punishment, a little nosebleed... As for that girl just now, hehe, I have my eye on her!"

"You've got your eye on her What do you want to do Get married!" My brother roared. "Do you even know who she is If you dare to think about her, I'll wipe out your entire family!"

The old woman was slightly taken aback: "Boy, don't talk harshly to scare me. This old woman wouldn't be afraid of a few harsh words from you!"

After she finished speaking, one of Miss Lin's bodyguards rushed over, a gun already drawn and hidden beneath his clothes. My brother, with a swift movement, snatched the gun from the bodyguard's hand. "Bang!" - a gunshot echoed...

Several stones were blown up from the ground beside the old woman. She looked at my brother in horror—did he really fire a gun!

My brother fired a shot and smirked, "My aim is terrible. Next time, the warning might hit you... Where's the antidote"

Her face flickered, and she asked, "What kind of person is that girl"

"Never mind, it's just someone you can't afford to mess with." My brother impatiently returned the pistol to his bodyguard and walked over to the old woman, starting to search her.

The old woman sneered, “You don’t need to look for it. I don’t have an antidote on me. It’s just a simple curse. You’ll only be able to break it if you go to our territory. Otherwise, she’ll keep having fevers and fainting, and soon she'll kick the bucket!”

What on earth does this old woman want!

"What grudge does she have against you! Why would you hurt her!" I couldn't help but ask.

The old woman glared at me: "What harm have I done to her I just fancy her. As long as she goes back and becomes the chieftain's wife, we can be cured!"

This old woman coming to this rural matchmaking event just wants to pick up a daughter-in-law to take back!

"She's no ordinary person! Your chief can't afford to mess with her! You better hand over the antidote right away!" I said anxiously.

Miss Lin came to meet us, but she was targeted by some natives and even hit with a strange curse! How are we going to explain this to Lin Yanhuan!

Jiang Qiyun suddenly appeared beside me, pulling me around with one hand, startling me.

"What's wrong A shadowy official came to report that you were bleeding." He frowned and stared at me.

There was still a bit of blood on my face that hadn't been wiped clean. He reached out with his icy finger and lightly rubbed his fingertips against my lip, where there was still a speck of blood.

"Uh... got a little nosebleed. This old hag sprinkled some poison powder—"

Jiang Qiyun coldly looked over and said to the little ghost official, " ...Take away the living soul and slowly interrogate him for the antidote in the Underworld."

"Yes."

The old crone seemed to sense the danger of life, and immediately shouted, "Wait, spare my life... spare my life!"

Her eyes were clouded and darted around, as if she had sensed the presence of a "dangerous person".

"This powder is harmless, it's just for scaring people!" she said nervously. "I just wanted to get away, I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

"Go to hell! Is that Lin Yanqin poisoned Did you not intend to harm her Using this kind of method to abduct her isn't harming her, is it These days even bachelors robbing brides are using these tactics Your clan leader must be short, ugly, poor, fat and round, right Using this way to harm women, don't you fear getting shot!" My brother yelled.

"Spare my life, spare my life! An old woman like me has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai!" She begged for mercy: "I haven't lied to you, that poison only exists in our village with special medicinal ingredients. I just wanted to use this method to make her obediently follow me! I didn't expect to get involved with you!"

She was a stranger to Miss Lin, and she probably wanted to trick a girl into leaving with her. Miss Lin stood out from the crowd and caught her eye.

"Brother, let's take her away first. Quickly send Miss Lin back so the old lady can have a look. If we need to go to the village to get an antidote, we'll go together."

》》》

Jiang Qiyun directly used the doorman to send me back to my room.

I quickly showered with yerba mate and then went to see the two babies.

He stood by the crib, idly poking at the two little fists with his finger, humming softly: "I and you running around... these two little ones are sleeping soundly."

“…Of course, the little baby ate and slept.”

He walked over, embraced me and pressed a kiss. He said, “That voodoo woman's skills are average, nothing to be afraid of, but don't let your guard down.”

"Well... I understand."

He spoke a few words to me and left in a hurry. He must have come all the way from the Imperial Palace because of a hurried report from a minor official.

The old woman felt Miss Lin's pulse, shaking her head. "There's no sign of poisoning... a witch who claims to be a fairy mother usually doesn't harm people."

Lin Yanqin, with a low fever, whispered, "Then there's no need to detoxify"

"Then that also has to be cured… Don't you want to live your life without constantly having fevers and fainting"

My brother walked in with a cold face and said to me, “Xiao Qiao, things have gotten complicated… Those who were following us seem to be the confidants sent by the ‘Grand Elder’. He sensed something was wrong with the Si family and wants to find out what's going on… Lin Yanqin is now being eyed as the chief wife. We need to get her out of this mess first.”

Lin Yanqin hurriedly waved her hand and said, "You guys keep busy, I can go to the village myself to get medicine."

"Don't be stupid! Are you going yourself What if they take you and make you the village wife"

My brother furrowed his brow and sighed deeply.

"This is my fault. I shouldn't have brought you along. You're just an ordinary person after all."

Upon hearing this, Miss Lin's brows furrowed slightly, her eyes revealing a trace of unconcealable disappointment.awkwardly reminding me.My face flushed, my eyes were red-rimmed, I didn't speak and just ate my steamed bun in silence."Hey, why are you so easily embarrassed Just tell me and be shy You're eating so...
