Thinking of this, a trace of bitterness flashed across Jiang's pretty face.
Jiang Mengyue smiled slightly, took Jiang Ning's hand, and comforted her, "Don't worry, sister. It doesn't matter if you can't write poetry. Just go to the peach blossom forest in the back mountain and pick a peach blossom."
"Okay, let's get started."
The noble ladies stood in a circle, and the servants brought in a big drum and began to beat the drum vigorously.
People started passing flowers around
Along with the sound of drums, the woman holding the peach blossom passed the peach blossom to the person next to her, who then passed it to the next person, and it was passed on in an orderly manner.
The drum beat became more and more intense and urgent, indicating that the rhythm was about to stop.
Jiang Ning estimated that this peach blossom would not fall into her hands.
But at this moment, someone suddenly screamed——
"Ah! There's a snake!"
With the scream, the peach blossom was thrown high. Jiang Ning was attracted by the scream and did not notice it. The peach blossom fell directly into her arms, and she subconsciously caught it.
The drumming stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Where's the snake?"
"Where is the snake?" The women were noisy and turned pale with fear.
After a long time, a weak voice said, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I thought the black branch looked like a snake..."
It turned out to be a false alarm, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the drumming had stopped, and the peach blossom was held in Jiang Ning's hand.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Someone asked, "Does this peach blossom still count?"
Jiang Ning pinched the peach blossom and frowned slightly. She didn't know how the peach blossom flew here. It seemed like it had eyes and fell straight into her arms as if someone had deliberately thrown it at her.
Jiang Mengyue said, "This can be considered a kind of fate. Let's do it. Congratulations to my sister for getting the peach blossom."
Jiang Ning raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Mengyue. A sneer flashed in Jiang Mengyue's eyes. It was fleeting, but she still caught it.
There must be something fishy about Jiang Mengyue's active desire to give her the peach blossom.
Others nodded in agreement, "Then, as Mengyue said, this peach blossom counts. I wonder if Miss Jiang will choose to write a poem or pick a peach blossom?"
Many eyes fell on Jiang Ning. Even if she said something at this time, no one would listen to her.
Jiang Ning was silent for a while and said, "Then let me pick a peach blossom."
She could choose to write poetry.
However, she had just been brought back from the countryside. If she wrote a poem, it would definitely arouse Jiang Mengyue's suspicion. Then it would be bad to be regarded as a monster, so she could only choose to pick peach blossom.
"Sister, go and come back quickly."
A bright smile flashed in Jiang Mengyue's eyes, as if she was looking forward to her picking peach blossoms.
Jiang Ning's eyes darkened.
It seems that the trap is on the way to pick peach blossoms, otherwise, Jiang Mengyue would not be so enthusiastic. What does she want to do?
Jiang Ning thought to herself, turned around, and went to pick peach blossoms.
Jiang Mengyue looked at Jiang Ning's leaving figure with a cold smile on her lips.
It won't take long to see her embarrassed.
Ho ho, once you lose face at the flower viewing party, let’s see if you can hold your head up again in the future!
..........
Jiang Ning walked all the way to the back mountain, touched the dagger hidden in her sleeve, and held the dagger tightly before she felt at ease.
Don't blame her for being cautious. She had finally lived her life again. She didn't want to lose her life for no reason. She didn't know which one would come first, tomorrow or an accident. It was better to be cautious in everything.
If someone wanted to kill her on the way to pick peach blossoms, she would kill that person first with a knife without hesitation.
Don't blame her for being cruel, she doesn't want to live weakly in this life.
Jiang Ning held the dagger and walked towards the back mountain.
Not far away, a mountain of peach blossoms bloomed, with pink petals falling in the wind, making the ground look like a sea of flowers.
It was quiet all around, and after walking for so long, she didn't even see a servant.
Jiang Ning became more vigilant, carefully watching the surroundings, and pricking up her ears to listen for movement.
After walking for a while, she frowned slightly, as if someone was staring at her, but no matter which direction she looked, no one could be seen.
"Who?"
