Chapter 105: Chapter 102 Poisoning Throw Out

Granny Lei had no pleasant expression when facing this shameless couple, Old Man Zhen and his wife: "Old Man Zhen, don’t talk nonsense. We Ruo Family cannot afford a bride like Zhen Yi!"

"Moreover, these items were bestowed to Xuanbao by The Emperor, they all belong to Xuanbao. No one in our family would use these as a dowry to marry off a bride!"

"Also, these items are gifted by The Emperor himself. You should not touch or mess with them carelessly. Damaging the Emperor’s gifts can result in beheading. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!"

Granny Tan fondly touched one wooden box after another, seemingly unable to part with them: "Whatever The Emperor gifts you becomes yours, and you can give it to whoever you want. The sky is high, and The Emperor is far away; he won’t care about these things. My daughter Zhen Yi is hardworking and beautiful, with a good nature. If your family marries her as a daughter-in-law, you’d really be picking up a treasure!"

Old Man Zhen attempted to open a wooden box, but the lock was too complicated, and he couldn’t open it: "A little touch won’t damage it. It’s not that serious!"

Ruo Xuan watched the couple’s actions and felt as if they were tainting the items The Emperor had bestowed upon her!

The Little Fairy became unhappy and cast an Immortal Technique.

In an instant, Old Man Zhen’s hand quickly withdrew.

Granny Tan’s entire body was suddenly flung far away from those exquisite boxes.

Wherever their skin had just touched the boxes, a burning, stinging pain spread rapidly.

Old Man Zhen and Granny Tan opened their palms and saw that both their hands were burned as if they were corroded by some toxic substance.

In modern times, this scene would look just like sulfuric acid burns.

The pain was intense, and it was spreading. Old Man Zhen and Granny Tan were almost scared to death.

"Poisonous, these boxes are poisonous!"

The other villagers, who were eager to touch the boxes and bask in the Dragon Qi, shrank back in fear.

Could it be?

The items gifted by The Emperor are poisonous?

Old Man Zhen, in extreme pain, looked at his rapidly decomposing hand and panicked: "These boxes are poisonous. My hand is rotting because of it! Granny Lei, you must compensate us with silver! A hundred taels... no, a thousand taels should do! Ah... it won’t do, it’s so painful, I need a doctor! Ruo Shui, hurry and take me to the city doctor with the cart! The pain... I feel like my whole hand is going to rot away!..."

Granny Tan was practically lying on the box, and now her entire body was in pain. Her skin was rapidly decaying. She was panicking, yet she didn’t forget to request compensation: "Oh my God, my hands, my face, get the doctor quickly! Your things are poisonous, all the flesh on my body is rotting. Compensate with silver, take us to the doctor quickly!..."

The couple kept wailing loudly!

The people of the Ruo Family saw that their hands were truly rotting and were shocked!

Could it really be?

Poisonous?

Madam Jiang and Madam Liu checked their own hands and faces. They handled so many boxes and nothing happened!

Ruo Xuan stepped forward and touched the boxes that had been handled by them but now cleansed by Ruo Shui, which no longer carried anyone else’s trace. She held up her plump, intact little hands, her face innocent: "Poisonous? There’s no poison! I’m touching them and nothing’s wrong. Could it be that you covet others’ things? With such a mindset, perhaps you were hurt by The Emperor’s Dragon Qi?"

Humph, Ruo Shui could dissolve all things and purify all filth. This couple’s minds were filled with filth; it was only right for Ruo Shui to cleanse them.

Of course, fearing punishment from the Heavenly Dao, Ruo Xuan didn’t directly sprinkle Ruo Shui on them. She just sprinkled it on her own items; if no one else touched her things, they wouldn’t feel the pain of being dissolved by Ruo Shui.

But if someone covets her things and tries to take them, isn’t punishment deserved?

Not even the gods could blame her!

Heaven blamed her, but she had a point!

And this Ruo Shui had not been processed by her, the time it took to dissolve was long indeed. Let the married couple endure it then!

Madam Liu, seeing her daughter touch it without any problems, also came forward to touch it. Her own hand was completely fine. She scoffed, "Are you purposefully showing up to swindle our silver? Husband, someone is trying to swindle silver using our daughter’s dowry!"

Ruo Shui had just finished moving two boxes into the stone house behind, and with his sharp ears and eyes, he had long heard the conversation between Old man Zhen and his wife in the courtyard. He rushed out and went straight up to grab someone’s collar with one hand, "Poisoned and demanding compensation in silver, right? This is an imperial gift. Are you claiming that The Emperor is behind the poisoning? Come on, I’ll take you to seek compensation from The Emperor! Let The Emperor get you a doctor! The eunuch who passed the decree hasn’t gone far! I’ll take you there right now! Let the eunuch bring you to see The Emperor!"

Ruo Shui twisted their clothes as though wringing out a small chicken—it was that easy for him—as he strode out.

Old man Zhen and Granny Tan were scare stiff!

Their clothes on their backs were lifted by Ruo Shui, their faces toward the dirt, and with their arms and legs being too long, they desperately clawed at the ground, trying to break free from Ruo Shui’s devilish grip, but they just couldn’t escape.

Old man Zhen said in a panic, "Don’t talk nonsense! I didn’t say The Emperor was poisoning! Don’t talk nonsense!"

Granny Tan: "Yeah! We did not say The Emperor poisoned anyone! Don’t sling mud! We were only saying that you poisoned us."

Ruo Shui: "Those boxes were carried down by the soldiers delivering the decree, and we haven’t even had the chance to touch them yet. You were the ones who touched it first! Since you say it’s poisoned, if it’s not by The Emperor, then it must be the person who delivered the decree. I’ll take you two to get the justice you deserve, lest once the messenger leaves, you blame it on our family and we’re unable to clear our name!"

Ruo Shui, lifting the two of them, began to walk swiftly. No, he outright started running!

Granny Tan and Old man Zhen didn’t dare seek justice from the decree messenger!

If this matter actually reached The Emperor, it wouldn’t just be their hands that would suffer; they might lose their heads!

Ruo Shui was a madman, and both were nearly scared to death, genuinely fearing he would catch up to the soldiers delivering the decree while dragging them along.

The couple hurriedly said, "It has nothing to do with those boxes. It was some stinkbug or another bug’s poison we encountered on the way here that made our hands rot! It has nothing to do with those boxes! No one was poisoned!"

"Yes, no one was poisoned, it has nothing to do with those imperial gift boxes!"

Only then did Ruo Shui stop, "Are you sure, it really has nothing to do with the imperial gift boxes?"

"Nothing to do with it, nothing to do with it, our rotting hands were our own doing!"

"Right, it must have been some venomous insect’s fluid we unknowingly came into contact with that caused it!"

"In that case, let it be! You may go home on your own!" With that, Ruo Shui let go with both hands, allowing both to crash face-first onto the street.

He dusted off his hands and walked home with large strides!

Dare to swindle the Ruo Family, next time he’d throw them into the mountains!

With a sudden release from Ruo Shui, Old man Zhen and his wife fell flat on the ground unprepared, mouthful of dirt, their teeth even chipped!

The couple hastily got up, and as they watched Ruo Shui confidently walk away, they wanted to curse but did not dare, wanted to blame but could not, only daring to curse the Ruo Family’s ancestors in their hearts.

Old man Zhen shook his head, never mind. None of the Ruo brothers were easy to provoke, better not to marry Zhen Yi into the Ruo Family!

They, as a couple, couldn’t hold sway over the Ruo Family!

Better to marry their daughter off to the butcher Zhao’s son!

It was just a bit hard to part with all the rewards in the Ruo’s courtyard...
