Chapter 30 She's determined to be her confidante.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang actually chased after the Zhao family with a basket of eggs.
"Peach Blossom, you must accept the eggs your auntie gave you. Don't you like eggs? I'll make you some cloud cakes later!"
Seeing that Jiang's insistence on giving her something seemed genuine, Zhao Taohua was also afraid that Jiang might actually make her some kind of cloud cake, which was an extremely labor-intensive type of pastry.
Madam Qian said, "Peach Blossom, Aunt Jiang gave you eggs, so please accept them!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang beamed with joy: "Yes, yes, quickly accept it. Peach Blossom, if I was wrong in the past, I apologize to you, please don't take it to heart."
Then she turned to Madam Qian and said, "Hongyan, I was worried that you would stop Taohua from saving my Xiangxiang today, but I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous."
I was petty before and said many things I shouldn't have. Please don't hold it against me; I apologize.
From now on, you will be my best friend, Jiang Yanqiu. I will treat Taohua like my own daughter. Anyone who dares to bully Taohua, I, Jiang Yanqiu, will be the first to get revenge!
Jiang Yanqiu is straightforward and believes that if someone is good to you, you should treat them 100% well, and neither Zhao Taohua nor Qian Shi can refuse.
The village was relieved to have one less enemy, and both of them were happy to see it.
Before leaving, Ms. Jiang thanked the mother and daughter again and asked them to keep the matter of Zhao Shengxiang being exposed to durian essence a secret.
After she left, Zhao Taohua finally had time to examine the durian essence in her hand.
Because the spiritual energy was abundant today, she had already sealed the Durian Spirit's cultivation while she was at Zhao Shengxiang's house.
She was carrying the durian essence when she saw the other party staring at her with a pitiful expression. It only reached her thigh height after she put it on the ground.
After noticing the durian spirit, the menstrual spirit immediately came out of the main room: "You caught another one?"
The durian spirit looks small, but it's adorably small!
Her big eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky. Seeing her aggrieved look, even my most tender feelings for her shattered.
The moment the durian spirit saw the menstrual spirit, its eyes widened in surprise: Even such a powerful spirit has been captured?
The next moment, her cheeks were pinched and rubbed by the menstrual spirit, and her durian shell hair ornament was touched again and again.
“It hurts, it hurts!”
Durian Spirit quickly broke free from Menstrual Spirit's grasp. She suddenly felt that Zhao Taohua was a much more normal woman; at least she wouldn't pinch her own face.
Zhao Taohua sized up the durian spirit. The little girl was too young, still a child. Finally, she said, "From now on, you will stay at home and guard the house."
The durian spirit's eyes flashed with disdain: Was she being treated like a dog?
After Zhao Taohua and her daughter left, she did indeed find someone lurking suspiciously near her home. Upon seeing her, the person's eyes showed a hint of guilt, and then they ran away.
Before dusk, when Zhao Taohua returned from the foot of the mountain carrying medicinal herbs, she unexpectedly saw the idiot at her own doorstep again.
He was shouting at her doorstep, "Peach Blossom caught a stinky thing from Xiangxiang, and now Xiangxiang doesn't smell anymore..."
Zhao Taohua frowned. How could this fool suddenly know everything, like a know-it-all?
She stared at the fool, feeling that the fool had first appeared at Zhao Shengxiang's door and made a fuss, and then appeared at her door and made a fuss, as if someone was doing it on purpose.
Many villagers are returning from the foot of the mountain now, and there are many more of them than during the day.
Everyone stopped and asked in confusion when they heard what the fool said, "What stinky liquid? How could Xiangxiang have stinky liquid on her?"
Just as everyone was talking, they saw Zhao Taohua return.
Zhao Shenglin finally saw Zhao Taohua, and he immediately asked, "Peach Blossom Sister, did you catch a stinky sprite from Fragrant Sister?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Taohua's pupils contracted, and her gaze toward Zhao Shenglin revealed a hint of disgust.
"No, that's not true. Brother Shenglin, don't talk nonsense and ruin Sister Xiangxiang's reputation. Aunt Jiang and Uncle Guangzhu won't let you get away with it."
"Shengda is a fool, but you're not."
Although Zhao Taohua smiled and every word she spoke was a reminder, it was also a warning.
Zhao Shenglin originally didn't take Zhao Taohua, a mere girl, seriously. He never expected that this girl would actually help Zhao Shengxiang lie.
He's not so easily fooled!
"Peach Blossom, besides the menstrual spirit, what other spirit do you have in your house? If it's not a stinky spirit, what is it?"
Zhao Shenglin pointed at the Durian Spirit standing in the yard with an unhappy expression.
Right now, the durian spirit wished she could rush up and unleash her stench to kill the bastard who called her a stinky spirit.
You're the stinky one, your whole family are stinky!
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the durian spirit in the courtyard. A beautiful little girl was wearing a golden yellow silk skirt with durian patterns embroidered on the hem, and a hair crown carved from a golden durian shell.
Someone immediately recognized it: "Could this be durian spirit? I remember durians smell bad."
These words immediately caught the attention of the Durian Spirit, who discovered that the other person was the girl she had spotted that morning.
The durian spirit walked up to Zhao Taohua and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:
“Sister Zhao, when you left home earlier, I saw this girl sneaking around not far away, peeking at our house.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Taohua looked in the direction the durian spirit was pointing, her pupils shrinking slightly: Cousin Zhao Lianhua?
Zhao Lianhua was the daughter of the eldest son in the Zhao family's old house. The eldest son had a son and a daughter.
Zhao Lianhua is fifteen years old this year. She has a delicate and pretty face and exudes a gentle and refined charm.
With her arched eyebrows and hazy, innocent eyes, she seemed like a naive fawn.
But after hearing what the durian spirit said, she didn't believe that Zhao Lianhua was truly a simple and innocent person.
In particular, when she saw a wisp of gray malice on Zhao Lianhua, it was an evil aura that originated from the human heart, and true evil spirits love to associate with people who have this evil aura.
When Zhao Lianhua saw that Durian Spirit and Zhao Taohua were looking at her at the same time, she felt a tightness in her heart and was worried that they might have seen through her.
Reminded by Zhao Lianhua, Zhao Shenglin immediately realized what was happening and continued to coax Zhao Taohua:
"Peach Blossom Sister, did you help Fragrant Sister get rid of the durian spirit on her body?"
If Zhao Taohua admits it, then Zhao Shengxiang's reputation will be ruined!
Zhao Taohua countered, "You saw it?"
"..." Zhao Shenglin was speechless.
However, he still wanted everyone to know that Zhao Shengxiang had once had a foul odor, so he continued:
"I guess that's it. After all, there was a terrible smell at Xiangxiang's house today, and your house just happened to have an extra durian spirit today."
Zhao Shengxiang stood at the back of the crowd, listening to Zhao Shenglin's guess, not daring to look at the people around her.
Zhao Taohua sneered: "I don't know about other people's affairs, but this durian spirit is one that I caught on the mountain today."
In the future, everyone must be careful when going up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs. Apart from medicinal herbs, do not pick or eat anything else casually.
No one has been up the mountain in our village for nearly a hundred years. It might be home to many spirits and monsters, so everyone should be careful.
Moreover, those with malicious intentions must be especially careful, because such spirits will actively attach themselves to them.
With Zhao Taohua's clarification, Zhao Shenglin's accusations couldn't be pinned on Zhao Shengxiang at all, which made Zhao Shengxiang breathe a sigh of relief and feel extremely grateful to Zhao Taohua.
Zhao Taohua is definitely my confidante!
