"Zuo Yan is a meticulous person. It's unlikely that he would make such a mistake. Moreover, the snake your maid bought from the restaurant was meant for cooking. Restaurants usually choose non - venomous snakes. Even if they are venomous, the fangs would be removed in advance."
"As for the snake that bit someone just now, it's a Gloydius brevicaudus. Generally, no restaurant would have such a snake."
Helian Duo's tone was firm, clearly very confident in his judgment.
Cheng Xiran listened and vaguely felt that the name was familiar. Then she quickly remembered, "Gloydius brevicaudus... This kind of snake is not suitable for the climate in the capital, so it couldn't have been originally in the mansion."
"That's right." Helian Duo nodded slightly.
Then, the matter became quite clear. Cheng Xiran thought that most likely someone had spied on her instruction to Zhuque to buy a snake in advance and then took the opportunity to muddle through and frame her.
It was needless to think about who in the Cheng Mansion could and would do such a thing.
"It's that Liu woman and Cheng Zhiyue again!" Cheng Xiran gritted her teeth. These two were really vicious. They used Ren Ning'er's hand to harm her, and then used her to harm Ren Ning'er. No matter who got into trouble, they, the mother - daughter pair, would reap the benefits.
However, she suppressed her anger and looked at Helian Duo. "Please ask the prince to send a doctor to detoxify Ren Ning'er."
Helian Duo raised his eyebrows in confusion. "You still want to save her? "She had gone to release snakes in the middle of the night. It was obvious that she had a big feud with the girl living in the yard. Now that the venomous snake that bit someone wasn't released by her, why should she get involved?
"After all, it's a human life. And if Ren Ning'er dies, won't those who framed me get their wish?"
Cheng Xiran squinted her eyes. Those people regarded her as an easy target and had repeatedly framed and bullied her. Then she didn't have to be polite either. She believed that the scene of dogs biting dogs would be extremely wonderful.
Hearing her say so, Helian Duo waved his hand. Immediately, a secret guard emerged from nowhere.
Both Cheng Xiran and Zhuque were startled, but Helian Duo calmly ordered the secret guard to return to the mansion and bring a doctor. Soon, the man disappeared from sight again.
Cheng Xiran smacked her lips in admiration and repeatedly sighed that this skill was so cool.
Helian Duo felt a strange feeling in his heart when he heard her praise another man. He said, "This is just the basic skill of a secret guard. It's nothing. Moreover, in terms of martial arts, he's no match for me."
The aloof and reserved Regent rarely boasted about himself, but unfortunately, Cheng Xiran didn't understand the point at all.
"Wow, this is just a basic skill. The entry threshold for secret guards is so high!"
Helian Duo couldn't help pinching the space between his eyebrows and simply changed the topic. "What feud do you have with the person in that yard that makes you stay up late at night to scare her? "
He had witnessed Cheng Xiran's laziness. Except when writing books, she wished she could lie down all the time.
"I have too many feuds with her." Cheng Xiran had a headache when she thought of the mess left by the original owner. She simply suppressed it and only talked about the most recent one. "She pushed me into the pool. If I didn't know how to swim, I might have to have my seventh - day after death ceremony in a few days."
Helian Duo frowned tightly. "What seventh - day after death ceremony? Don't talk nonsense!"
"This is not nonsense. I'm telling the truth." Cheng Xiran didn't take it seriously. She thought that wasn't the original owner drowned after being pushed into the water, and that was how she came here by accident?
If she was drowned again... Well, no matter how lucky Miss Cheng was, she should be buried.
Her tone was understated, but Helian Duo's gaze was extremely displeased. Especially when he thought of Cheng Xiran being pushed into the water, a surge of anger suddenly rose in him.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a noisy sound. He immediately said, "Someone is coming. There are quite a few of them."
