Chapter 414 Turning Danger into Safety

Nangong Tuo and the little leopard cub were not vague at all. Faced with the table of good dishes, the little leopard cub almost jumped onto the table. Fortunately, Yao Tianzhen had prepared a long time ago and specially prepared two chickens for the little leopard cub, allowing it to enjoy its own dinner alone at the corner of the table.

"Sister innocent, your skills are really good, but it's a little worse than the food I cooked." Nangong Tuo said this, feeling the gaze of the woman beside him, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Yao Tianzhen looked at this naughty little man, angry and funny, but his words even raised the topic of Mrs. Yao. Mrs. Yao looked at Nangong Tuo with a smile on her face, looking drooling, as if he was more attractive than the table of food. Her vigorous voice ejaculated: "How old is this kid this year?"

"Tuoer is five years old this year." While Nangong Tuo was enjoying the hearty dishes, his little mouth did not forget to respond vaguely to Mrs. Yao's words.

Mrs. Yao looked at his little greedy look and felt even better. However, the happy mood passed instantly. A trace of loss flashed across her eyes and said angrily: "If our family had married early innocence, the child would have been so old now!"

"Grandma, why did you talk about this again? Didn't Tianzhen tell you? I already have a lover..." Yao Tianzhen shook her head helplessly. In recent years, she has become increasingly afraid to go back to the old house to see Mrs. Yao. The biggest reason is that there are eleven out of every ten words that Mrs. Yao urges her to get married.

"You are the best man, who knows if you are fooling me, an old woman? I heard you have been saying that for two years, but no one has come to propose marriage. You are so naive! You are twenty years old this year. Grandma has already given birth to three children at your age..." Old Mrs. Yao frowned, and all the joy she had just passed away.

"Grandma, there are guests today. Can we stop talking about these things? Eat more food and try my skills. Have you improved again..." Yao Tianzhen's face looked unnatural. He had warmly invited Huangfu Yuqing and the others to visit before, but he really missed this point. Unexpectedly, his grandmother didn't leave any thin face to her in front of outsiders.

"Aren't these all your friends? Today, grandma is going to scold you, in front of your friends. If no one comes to propose marriage this year, then don't blame grandma for interfering in your marriage..." Mrs. Yao's face looked solemn and said seriously, without any joke.

Huangfu Yuqing had to come forward to rescue the situation at this time. She could hear some clues when she heard the conversation between the two grandparents and grandchildren. It seemed that the sweetheart mentioned by Mrs. Yao was most likely just Yao Tianzhen used to perfunctory to the old man. Seeing that two years have passed, the old man who has not waited for good news can no longer sit still.

"Mrs. Yao, don't worry too much. A girl as good as innocence will definitely meet a good man who understands her and cherishes her." Huangfu Yuqing smiled and said humbly.

Mrs. Yao glanced at her, sighed again, and said helplessly: "The Princess Pingnan doesn't know anything. This girl has been with me since she was a child. She is my favorite granddaughter. In addition, I lost my mother at a young age. I feel even more sorry for her. The Han family broke the engagement earlier in the years, so angered that I almost lost my life. Seeing that my health was worse than before, I was counting on being able to close my eyes and see my baby granddaughter have a good home..."

Huangfu Yuqing seemed to see the crystal flashing under the old lady's sockets. Unexpectedly, her casual words actually touched the old man's feelings. It is not difficult to feel that it comes from the heart after the bitter words. Yao Tianzhen, who was sitting beside him, was also moved by these words and red eyes. Her little hand covered the old man's hand and said softly: "Nianzhen knows that grandma loves me the most, but the more you work hard for me, the more uncomfortable I feel, and I feel sorry for you..."

Shangguan Mo, who was sitting aside, obviously couldn't sit still. He was an orphan, had no relatives since childhood, and had never experienced such delicate feelings. Listening to the conversation between the two ancestors and grandchildren, he inexplicably stirred up a tide in his heart. He swallowed his throat, suddenly put down his chopsticks, moistened his throat unnaturally, and said in a low voice: "I'm full, please use it slowly, I'll go out for a walk!"

Ning stared at Shangguan Mo's departure back, Mrs. Yao looked at her for a while, and suddenly looked at Huangfu Yuqing with her side: "Princess Pingnan, do you think... Is that Shangguan Master so innocent to our family?"

"Grandma, what are you talking about?" Yao Tianzhen was shocked when she heard this and almost jumped up. Grandma, who was so sensational that she was about to cry, had now regained her smart and refined look. Her straight-calmed eyes were like two sharp hooks, which had already locked the target of Shangguan Mo far away.

"Grandma and Princess Pingnan talk, don't interrupt, kid." Old Lady Yao gave her annoyed look. No matter how she looked, she thought that Shangguan Mo looked good. Her age was just as good as the naive, especially her unmarried one. This made Old Lady Yao the most satisfied. Even if she married, Tianzhen would be the wife of her husband and would not be wronged.

However, Mrs. Yao also has something to worry about. What is the reason why a man has not been married at such an age? Could it be that just like her innocence, they have been hurt emotionally and been resigned from marriage?

Mrs. Yao also noticed that when she spoke, Shangguan Mo seemed to be feeling a little moved by the scene. She hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks and left the dining table, which made Mrs. Yao even more determined. She felt that Shangguan Mo and Yao Tianzhen were simply a natural couple.

"Grandma, I'm not a child anymore, I'm already twenty..." Yao Tianzhen raised his cherry lips with dissatisfaction, and for the first time he showed a childlike innocent and cuteness in front of someone.

"Twenty? Even if you are thirty, you will still be a child before getting married..." Mrs. Yao's tone was a little dissatisfied with reprimanding, and glared at her granddaughter with a side look, but she could feel that even if the old man scolded, his eyes were still full of drowning.

Huangfu Yuqing looked at the grandparents and grandsons and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud. However, before she could answer, the young little girl who was eating happily beside her spoke first: "The person Shangguan's favorite is my mother..."

Uh! The smile on Huangfu Yuqing's face suddenly froze, and the air in the room seemed to become solidified in an instant. As Nangong Tuo said this, Mrs. Yao's surprised eyes fell on Huangfu Yuqing's face for a moment, which also made the woman feel embarrassed. After reacting, she couldn't help but glared at her son with a fierce look: "Nangong Tuo, what are you talking nonsense?"

Nangong Tuo raised his little face, looked at the woman with innocent and harmless water eyes, and then looked at Mrs. Yao, as if he realized that he had blurted out the wrong words just now, and his little hand holding the chicken legs was also stiff on his lips. He was not as good as eating for a while, and he was reluctant to leave if he didn't eat it.

"Grandma, do you understand now? Mr. Shangguan has something to do. In the future, don't mess with each other. I understand my own affairs..." Yao Tianzhen was shocked by Tuoer's words at first, but then he quickly realized. In fact, she discovered something in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion this time and saw that Shangguan Mo had a love for Huangfu Yuqing.

"But... But Princess Pingnan is already a member of Prince Pingnan. He... Why is he so stupid? He is really exactly the same as you, the girl..." Old Madam Yao's eyes revealed endless loss. The more she understood Shangguan Mo's background, the more she felt a pity. She looked at the direction of the door where the man's back disappeared just now, and then looked at Yao Tianzhen. This girl seemed to have changed her personality since she was dismissed by the Han family. She always doubted whether Tianzhen had not let go of that boy Han Ruilin.

"Grandma..." Yao Tianzhen was not happy anymore, her whole face became cold and her voice lowered a little: "If you are focusing on these topics again, Tianzhen will never come back..."

"You... OK, okay, grandma won't say it in the future." The angriness on Mrs. Yao's face flashed and finally compromised. It was not difficult for her to see that her granddaughter's words were not a joke. If she really forced her into a hurry, she might never go back to the old house again.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

More than ten days passed in a flash, a man, a woman, a baby and a beast slowly walked out of the Valley of Jueqing. Mrs. Gu Zun kept them in Jueqing for a few days, because Tuo'er had been making a fuss to go back, and Huangfu Yuqing also considered that the days they had left were indeed long enough that it was time to go back.

Going back to the bottom of the mountain, I suddenly heard the sound of a cheetah vaguely coming from the deep mountains. The little leopard was invisibly attracted by the sound and ran towards the mountain. Nangong Tuo reacted and rushed to chase it.

"Baby, come back--" Nangong Tuo chased behind the little leopard cub and called out anxiously, but the little leopard cub was like a wild horse that had taken off its reins. He was not obedient no matter how he shouted, and watched the figures of the man, one beast gradually drift away.

Huangfu Yuqing's face suddenly turned out, and then she wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Shangguan Mo: "Qing'er, you are still pregnant, go back to Jueqing Valley first to wait for us, and I will bring them back soon."

"Yeah!" The woman nodded helplessly. She knew that she was pregnant now, and even if she was chasing her, she would probably have the will but not enough strength to catch up with the little Leopard and Taur.

However, Huangfu Yuqing did not hear Shangguan Mo's words and returned to Jueqing Valley. She stood there for a while and could not see them returning. So she followed the winding mountain road slowly.

After walking a few steps, the woman vaguely noticed something strange, as if she felt someone staring at her behind her. A dark look flashed across her watery eyes and turned around suddenly. She was staring at her with a pair of round eyes, staring at her fiercely. A huge insect stood less than twenty meters away from her.

The woman's eyes were shocked. She had lived in Jueqing Valley for several years but had never seen a beast descending the mountain. She didn't expect that she would meet a tiger here today. It is not difficult to see from her fierce round eyes that it has listed her as its target.

"You should look hungry, right? But... I'm very thin, I don't have much flesh on my body, and I'm all covered in bones when I touch it." Huangfu Yuqing murmured, as if she was saying to this strong tiger, and it was more like comforting and encouraging myself to calm down.

At this time, the woman even hoped that the tiger could roar, and maybe Shangguan Mo could hear it, but the tiger in front of her failed to get her wish. She approached Huangfu Yuqing step by step with her thick limbs, grinning and baring its fangs, showing its fierce appearance, and looking very terrifying.

Huangfu Yuqing secretly touched the sleeves, and she didn't know if the few remaining sweat medicines were effective for it. After all, humans are different from beasts. This strong tiger weighs at least three adult men, and even she is not sure that she can subdue it.

But now I don’t care about so much. Huangfu Yuqing secretly focused all the doses of medicine in her palm. The most important thing at the moment is that she must get close to the tiger at close range. It turns out that these doses of medicine are a bit overwhelming for it. If it is a far distance and wastes it, the possibility of subduing it will be even more slim.

Thinking of this, the woman no longer hesitated, could only let go, take a deep breath, and faced the tiger with light and vigorous steps. When the woman stepped forward, the tiger seemed to be slightly startled, and the steps under her feet paused. The depth of the amber pupils was filled with the depth and complexity that humans could not interpret.

Huangfu Yuqing suddenly felt that animals were also very wise. Whether it was the cheetah couple before or the yellow-spotted tiger in front of them, they actually had their own ideas. Take the big insect in front of them for example. Before Huangfu Yuqing moved, it had always taken the lead and approached step by step. However, when the woman also took steps towards it, it suddenly hesitated. The deep and dark round eyes stared straight at the woman's little face, as if she wanted to poke out the enemy's thoughts and wanted to know what Huangfu Yuqing wanted to do.

Huangfu Yuqing was closer to the yellow-spotted tiger. The big worm that had been unable to hold on to the move could no longer hold back. A low growl appeared in his throat, showing a fierce look on his face, and once again showed its sharp fangs. Before the woman could do it, it had already jumped into the air, revealing its snow-white belly, and pounced towards the woman.

Seeing that the huge body of the yellow-spotted worm was about to overwhelm, the woman moved her feet and quickly escaped the huge shadow. At the same time, her arms were flying, and she threw the medicine bag in her hand into the big worm's mouth accurately.

With a "bang" sound, the earth shook, and Huangfu Yuqing's body couldn't help but sway. The body of this big insect was so big that it caused such a big movement as it rose and fell.

"Woman, what stupid things are you doing?" A sharp and hoarse voice came. Nangong Longze's strong figure appeared at some point. The handsome man's ashen-green handsome face was so stiff that he could hardly twitch. The scene he saw just now almost made his nervous heart stop beating.

Huangfu Yuqing's expression was also stunned. She was also surprised when facing the man who suddenly came out of the sky. She hadn't seen him for more than ten days, and the stubble between the man's lips was nearly half an inch tall. Could it be that he hadn't shaved his beard these days?

Huangfu Yuqing wanted to ask about beard, but suddenly she remembered that she was still in a cold war between her and the man, and her face soon became darker. She asked coldly, while looking sideways at the motionless body on the ground. Unexpectedly, the medicine was still useful to this big worm just now, but it fell down and there was no movement. It was a little too fast.

"I have a sense of my own doing things, and it doesn't take the prince's care." Seeing that he had already escaped danger, Huangfu Yuqing curled a slight smile on the corner of her lips, but her careless and indifferent attitude aroused the man's anger.

"You'd better shut up now." Nangong Longze stepped forward, and instantly there was a close distance between the woman. His steps paused slightly, but the anger in his eyes became more and more obvious. The woman had no intention of regret. If he hadn't shot a poison dart in time, she would have become a delicacy in the belly of this big insect.

Huangfu Yuqing glared back without being outdone, but she didn't say anything. She saw the cold sharpness of the man's eagle eyes burst out with anger that she wanted to kill. She couldn't help but tremble, but she was actually a little nervous and afraid.

"I really think that your tricks can be useful anywhere. If it weren't for the poisonous darts that had been painted with heartbreak grass, you would have been swallowed by it now..." The man's cold and hoarse voice said this now, and he still couldn't help but feel a little trembling. The scene just now really scared him.

After Huangfu Yuqing disappeared, he secretly sent someone to sneak into the general's mansion to eavesdrop, but there was no result. Finally, he learned from Feng Ling that she actually asked Shangguan Mo to accompany her back to Jueqing Valley. This really shocked the man. He didn't care about thinking too much, put down everything at hand and came all the way, but he didn't expect to encounter this scene.

Hearing this, Huangfu Yuqing was slightly stunned. She couldn't help but look at the yellow-spotted tiger carefully. The watery eyes flashed with complex and strange colors. Although there was no injury, the fur on its body had changed color, which showed the great toxicity of the Heartbreak Grass.

It turned out that it wasn't her sweating drugs that had the medicinal properties, but it was actually a man who secretly helped her. Just now she wondered why the effect of the drugs broke out so quickly, and it came so violently. It turned out...

Thinking of this, the woman was inexplicably scared deep down. If the man had not appeared just now, wouldn’t she and the child in her womb be unable to escape the bad luck?

Looking at the complex expression changes in the woman's eyes, Nangong Longze's cold face couldn't help but soften a little bit. His big palm unknowingly embraced the woman's body, and his hoarse voice seemed to be indifferent: "Are you scared just now?"
