Prince Jin's Wife was afraid that if she disturbed the poisonous snake, it would turn out bad, so she did not call the guards over. If not for the little girl blocking her way, she would have personally killed the poisonous snake. Just as she was panicking, they suddenly saw Xie Jingxi slowly walking towards the snake. Everyone did not dare make a sound, and only watched her every move.

Xie Jingxi was still calm and composed, but Mrs. Li was so scared that she almost peed her pants. Was she even able to do it?

Xie Jingxi did not look at Madame Li's pale face. Her movements seemed slow, but the moment she got close, she grabbed onto the seven inches of snake, and her other hand took the opportunity to grab onto the head of the snake. She did not even have time to move, the viper that was glaring at her just now was already obediently restrained by her.

Prince Jin's Wife heaved a sigh of relief and then ordered the girl beside him to call for her.

"Jingwan, you're pretty good. Even I get scared when I see this. You sure are brave." Gu Wan walked up and bared her fangs at the snake, "You are still arrogant."

After a long sigh of relief, the wives and grandmothers started to talk at once, "But after losing the Third Miss, we were still in the countryside, so we have more guts than we do."

"Yeah, yeah. He didn't scare me to death."

Xie Jingxi did not care about it, but continued to play with the snake. After a while, the snake wrapped her wrist, looking very obedient. Just then, a guard ran over and bowed towards the Prince Jin's Wife, "Reporting to consort, just now, King Jin and several young masters heard that consort Wang had found a snake, so they sent subordinates over to ask for it.

"Eh, this snake can actually eat?" Some of the wives and grandmothers could not help but look at him with disdain. How could such a sinister creature exist in their stomachs?

However, the Prince Jin's Wife laughed, "They do know how to enjoy it, so take it."

"Yes, King Jin even asked which lady got it, and said that it was for a reward."

Surprisingly, such a poor girl was rewarded by the King Jin. However, the wangfei said, "Go back with His Highness, it's the Xie Clan's Third Miss who got it. If he has anything good, take it out. If it's not enough, I'll add more."

The guard was about to leave, when Xie Jingxi suddenly said: "Wait a moment, the love between King Jin and Princess Wangfei is just a small matter. I do not want anything else, I just hope that you can give me the snake gall."

"Oh?" The Prince Jin's Wife asked with great interest: "Do you want the snake gall? I didn't expect you to understand this too. "

"Your highness, your highness, please excuse me. The ancestor of the family has a problem with sputum. I was indeed using the medicine to keep it."

Prince Jin's Wife nodded his head, "She is a filial child. Go and tell King Jin, we will leave this snake gall for her."

secretly gritted his teeth. Other than him, the others were more or less jealous and envious, feeling uncomfortable looking at Xie Jingxi's limelight, but there were also some who would look forward to it. Seeing that the Prince Jin's Wife was attracted to Xie Jingxi, they thought that it would be better to strike up a conversation with the Madam Xie Family.

After the appreciation of the flowers, Prince Jin's Wife then suggested the cruise ship. The manor of the King Jin was indeed very ingenious, coincidentally encircling a region of water, but after being artificially remodeled, it was easy to enjoy the lake. I heard that when the His Majesty and the imperial consort of the palace came over to enjoy the scenery, they praised the boat very much, and became even more famous.

The Prince Jin's Wife and the King Jin were holding a feast separately, all the rich and influential people in the capital were present. All of the young masters were fishing in the lake with the King Jin, and they roasted the fish over the fire immediately. King Jin took a piece of snake meat that he had just cooked and gave it to Gu Yun, "Here, your wife caught it, quickly try it."

Gu Yun received the meat with a smile that was not a smile, and the King Jin continued: "I have already heard the details from the little girl in front of Royal Concubine. Your daughter-in-law is truly evil enough to dare to grab it with her bare hands, if it was me who heard this, I would feel a chill down my spine.

However, Gu Yun was not surprised at all. As he ate the snake that Xie Jingxi was holding, his lips started to release a fragrance, "I just want this Evil Qi, if I want to be dissatisfied with the ladies in the capital, who wouldn't marry?"

The ladies were far away and could not hear the commotion. They were only eager to board the boat. After all, for the ladies of the capital, a cruise ship was a rare sight.

Xie Jingxi had seen it before, there was no lack of water in the south, she was mischievous when she was young, and spent her days in the water too. Therefore, she and Gu Wan did not rush to join in on the fun, but when Prince Jin's Wife saw the two of them later on, she called them over to her boat. Fang Wanqing was also there, she was following by the side of the wangfei the whole time, when she saw Xie Jingxi coming up, she just nodded her head, and did not say much.

"See, she's tall enough, it's like she wants to curry favor with her." Gu Wan muttered, but Xie Jingxi only smiled and did not say anything.

Mrs. Li, who had almost peed herself just now, was now beaming with joy again. "This is the first time I've been on a boat since I've lived my whole life. Look at the scenery, it's just different from when I was on the shore. Ah, there are so many carps!"

All the carp in the lake gathered around, and the women all rushed over to help. They were all in high spirits for a while. Prince Jin's Wife also grabbed the fish food passed to her by the servant girl, and casually fed it to her. "It's rare to see that this place isn't man-made, it's naturally wild and interesting, and doesn't look like it'll taste that much either."

The Prince Jin's Wife was happy, and the boat went deeper inside. Everyone suddenly realised, there was no end to this manor. Along the way, they had circled around and become the King Jin.

There were also a large amount of dried up lotus leaves and some fresh lotus leaves that had just appeared. Some of the more daring girls would casually pick a lotus leaf to play with, and as Gu Wan watched the show, she would also randomly pick two lotus leaves to share with Xie Jingxi.

Suddenly, the stern hit some reef, causing the boat to sway violently. The pilot of the boat was also very good, quickly turning the boat around, but just as he was about to pull out of the boat, he encountered another whirlpool. The weather was calm here, but he did not know that there was such a huge whirlpool.

The women on the boat were all shocked, the boat was knocked upside down, and the people on the boat couldn't stand up anymore, and it looked like they were about to fall down. By the time King Jin received the letter, a long time had already passed. When King Jin heard that something had happened to Princess Wangfei's boat, she was practically scared out of her wits. "Bastard, why didn't you report in earlier? Why haven't you sent someone to save him?!"

"Go back, go back to King Jin Your Highness. The wangfei is fine, it's the lady from Xie Family. We don't know where she went after the water. Miss Gu followed her to save people in the water. We don't know where she went now …"

Without waiting for the guard to finish speaking, Second Master of the Gu family, Gu Heng, shot out like an arrow. Gu Yun saw this and squinted his eyes, but he still went around the back of the mountain.

However, Xie Jingxi was in danger just now. First, one of the wives beside Prince Jin's Wife fell into the water, and when the wangfei saw that there was no water on board the boat, she actually went into the water to save him. This time, it was completely chaotic, because that was the Prince Jin's Wife.

Xie Jingxi, on the other hand, was more stable than the others. She saw that Wang Fei's ability with the water was satisfactory, so she did not join in on the fun, and just as she was about to go to the boatman's side to help her hold the boat, she heard another person falling into the water. That person just happened to be near Xie Jingxi, and without thinking, she extended her hand out to grab him.

"Miss Fang, I'll definitely catch you. I'll help you up."

Fang Wanqing bit her lips tightly, her body sinking uncontrollably. Xie Jingxi was a little girl after all, so her strength was limited, and just as she was about to call Gu Wan over to help, she suddenly felt the strength in her hands relax. Fang Wanqing actually let go of her hand, and shouted out loud, "Miss Xie, please do not let her hand go …"

Xie Jingxi frowned, shshehad never seen a person seeking death like him, yet she was playing such a game at a time like this. Clenching her teeth, he jumped down as well.

"Jingwan!" Gu Wan anxiously stomped her feet. If she did not know how to swim, she would have gone down long ago, and seeing that Xie Jingxi was in the water, she was even more anxious. She shouted at the guards on the table, "Hurry and report this to King Jin.

Many guards jumped down from the lake like dumplings as Gu Wan yelled. However, they were still far away and were swimming over for a while, so they were unable to get close to the fire.

The Prince Jin's Wife had rescued him, but he did not care about the coldness of the water. He was about to jump towards the place where Xie Jingxi had entered the water, but he was stopped by the people around him.

Prince Jin's Wife looked at Xie Jingxi's direction again. Her heart turned cold, that place's water was extremely fast, and if she went down there, she would immediately disappear, the water would be deep and immeasurable. Even if she went down, it was very possible that she would not be able to get up, "What are you all waiting for, go and call for help!"

Xie Jingxi scolded Fang Wanqing in her heart. She was busy putting on an act herself, but at least she had found a shallow place to act. A place that could sink to the bottom in the blink of an eye, wasn't that seeking death?! Xie Jingxi searched underwater for a long time before finally seeing Fang Wanqing with her feet tied up. She quickly rescued him and took the last breath to support him up.

"It's up, it's up!" The little girl next to the wangfei shouted, Xie Jingxi dragged Fang Wanqing and pushed her onto the closest boat. Everyone had not even taken a breath, when they saw Xie Jingxi being swept away by the water again, the water flow was extremely fast, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

If she was not able to save him, how could she explain it to Gu Yun? When Gu Wan saw that no one came to save him, she actually grabbed onto a wooden chair on the boat and jumped down.

When Gu Heng and the guards rushed over, Xie Jingxi had already disappeared for a long time. Fang Wanqing, who had been saved, saw Gu Heng and was about to step forward to say a few words, but Gu Heng acted as if he did not see her, and directly boarded a boat, directly went to save his. That Miss Fang had a pale face, he had almost gritted his teeth to death.
