When Liu Shimei screamed, Huangfu Lingyao had just stripped himself bare.
After hastily putting on his middle garment, he suddenly heard her terrified scream and ran out without a second thought.
As a result, Liu Shimei immediately pounced towards him and jumped into his arms!
She really jumped!
He was tall, and she moved extremely fast. Her small body leaped up, arms outstretched, clinging to his shoulders, and in a single jump, her legs encircled his waist.
She hung on him like a monkey!
Due to fear, Liu Shimei buried her face in his neck, trembling all over, saying, “There’s a snake! A live snake! A bamboo green snake!”
Huangfu Lingyao scanned the surroundings and indeed spotted the bamboo green snake on the window grille, looking truly frightening!
Somewhat stunned, he hugged his wife and said, “I’ll kill it, don’t be afraid!”
With one hand holding his wife, the other hand picked up a teacup from the table and smashed it towards the snake’s head!
The action was precise and hit the snake’s head!
At this moment, an anxious voice came from outside the door, “What’s happening to the Eldest Young Miss? I’m coming in!”
Knowing that the Second Prince was changing clothes, Changge waited outside the door and knocked at the first sign of commotion.
Huangfu Lingyao hurriedly said, “Don’t come in, there’s a snake by the window. Deal with that snake!”
Ignoring his usual disguise, his eyes were filled with hostility.
Damn thing, it scared his wife!
If he weren’t still undressed and his wife wasn’t clinging to him, he would have immediately chopped the snake into pieces!
Liu Shimei couldn’t let Changge see her in a state of undress through the window. Huangfu Lingyao hid behind the screen, comforting her softly, “Wife, it’s okay. I smashed the snake, and Changge will take care of it!”
Then he felt a bit surprised and thought, ‘My wife is usually so domineering, how could she be afraid of snakes? Moreover, her pharmacy has snake tendons and shed snake skins! How did she overcome it when using medicines?’
After all, she was someone who dabbled in poisons, and snake venom was a very useful material. Liu Shimei’s laboratory had at least fifty different types of snake venom.
Liu Shimei continued to hide, trembling as she asked, “Is it dead?”
Huangfu Lingyao peeked and saw that Changge had already killed the snake with a sword.
Changge’s voice came from outside the window, “It’s dead. Eldest Miss, don’t be afraid. Before the rain today, the air was unusually hot and humid. This snake probably climbed in for some fresh air. I’ll take care of it now. Let Lian Qiao instruct the staff to check the entire Floating Fusheng Pavilion.”
Saying this, she closed the window and left.
Liu Shimei finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Feeling the person in her arms loosen the grip around her neck, Huangfu Lingyao whispered, “Wife, why are you afraid of snakes?”
Liu Shimei replied sullenly, “I was bitten by a snake, so I’m afraid of seeing live ones!”
Once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of ropes for ten years.
In her pursuit of poisons, she had worked hard to overcome her fear of dead snakes, but living ones…
Her psychological shadow couldn’t be eliminated.
This was probably the only thing she was afraid of!
“Oh,” Huangfu Lingyao reached out and patted her back, saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
This sturdy man exuded a sense of security. Liu Shimei’s heart gradually calmed down with the warmth of the man’s body temperature, and she raised her head.
When she was frightened, she didn’t think about anything. But now that the fear had passed, she suddenly realized—
“Lingyao, you’re not wearing any clothes!”
