Abandoned Daughter from a Noble Family: Poison to the World

"Mother Song, ask a few people to bind the eldest lady's feet. She is too wild-minded. Bind her as soon as possible to prevent her from going crazy and causing trouble for me in the future."

Bai Ru was not close to Subai, and the couple rarely met. She spent most of the day in her Buddhist hall, kneeling before the evil Buddha statue.

Since the founding of the country, the women of Yun State have gone to two extremes.

Either imitate Prince Zhao and join the army and seek meritorious service; or become a member of his mother's generation and stay locked in the boudoir.

What Bai Rugu wants is an obedient puppet. She will be Yanshi and manipulate Su Yaoqin. She only wants Su Yaoqin to fabricate her according to the man's taste, break her original appearance bit by bit, and repaint her.

It is said that foot binding originated in the Southern Tang Dynasty. At that time, a dancer bound her feet to perform a dance for the emperor. After finishing the song, her feet were dripping with blood. However, the emperor particularly liked such deformed feet.

In later generations, wars broke out frequently, and the children of the aristocratic families indulged in pleasure and pursuit of bliss, and gradually developed the abnormal habit of foot binding.

The emperor himself also loved those little feet very much. If something is good on the top, it will be worse on the bottom.

For a time, there was a craze for foot-binding in many areas. Women regarded small feet as beautiful, and they could not get married without a pair of "beautiful" feet.

Even if you have a pair of small feet, they are not beautiful enough, soft enough, or white enough, and you still cannot marry into a noble family.

"The eldest lady has a surly temperament. It's best to obey her in both directions. I'm afraid I'll have to use some strength."

Nanny Song is fat and chubby, and her eyes are as bright as an old mouse stealing lamp oil.

Bai Ru was holding a piece of Bodhi as usual, and the maid was burning the Buddhist scriptures she had personally copied for her. She was still calm and relaxed.

"Children are always wild. Now that they are young and don't know anything, if you coax her, she will believe it. But when she gets older in the future, it will be harder to deceive her. Mom, just go ahead. If you can't get out of the way, Jin Lian, she is also a useless puppet and should be burned."

Bai Ru holds Su Yaoqin in her arms. The world is difficult. Although there is a gap, she will not allow Su Yaoqin to get rid of her.

--

The day of the foot binding was a nice spring day with bright sunshine and clear breeze. Su Yaoqin was sitting on the wall of the martial arts arena, swinging her feet and looking down at Su San who was striding forward.

It was rare that Nangong Tongyin gave her half a day off, so Su Yaoqin slipped out and ran to the martial arts field at the back of the Hou Mansion.

She smiled at Su San, and Su San smiled at her. Not long after the two idiots smiled at each other, the fierce-looking Granny Song came over with a group of servants.

Without saying a word, Su Yaoqin was pulled down from the wall. Su San thought that Su Yaoqin had stumbled and fell, so he threw away the three bowls of water and hurried to the wall.

An ominous premonition emerged from the bottom of Su San's heart, making her as irritable as the day she had her ears pierced.

"What does this mean?"

Su Yaoqin rubbed her painful ankle with a gloomy face.

Nanny Song smiled sadly, "Madam feels that the girl is a little old. If she doesn't bind her feet, it will be too late, so she specially asked the slave to come and serve the girl for a while."

Su Yaoqin's expression changed. Bai Ru wanted to tie her feet, but didn't show up in person. She probably didn't want to say anything more to herself.

"what ever."

Su Yaoqin was cold, like an ice sculpture, sitting on a small stool, letting Nanny Song put them on the footstool, while the maid pulled the white cloth.

A group of people worked together to break off the soles of Su Yaoqin's feet, and folded the toes to the soles, which was tighter than a snake that strangles a mouse.

Su Yaoqin's palms were bleeding and full of fingernail marks, and she watched coldly as they maimed her feet.

Perhaps Su Yaoqin's eyes were too malicious, and Nanny Song felt a chill run down her spine.

She looked at Su Yaoqin with her turbid dead fish eyes and said with some pride: "Girl, don't resent us. You were originally a beggar under the broken bridge. Madam gave you rich clothes and food, which is a great kindness to you, even if your biological mother is here , she can’t compare to how good my wife is to you. You should remember such a great kindness in your heart! Be a filial daughter who knows how to repay your kindness!”

Su Yaoqin bent down and touched the blood dripping from her feet. Her eyes were still cold, but she said in a calm voice: "I will remember it."

Two little maids with big feet helped Su Yaoqin put on the man's favorite embroidered shoes, which were only half the size of the original shoes. There were broken porcelain pieces stuffed inside to prevent the soles of the feet from healing, forcing the feet to shrink into a ball little by little.

Su Yaoqin arched her body in pain, barely holding on to Nanny Song's hand before she stood up. Before her toes could stand firm, she felt sharp porcelain fragments separating the flesh and flesh on the soles of her feet, rubbing against the bones of her feet.

She thought she could hold back the pain, but found that the toes had lost too much blood and were numb. She looked at her two bloody feet in panic and suddenly screamed.

"Girl, please don't take advantage of me and refuse to put in your efforts. How can there be free food in the world? The trick of Goulan Washe is to exchange your body for food. Why are you so ignorant of appreciation?"

Aunt Song was not Bai Ruji's servant in Suiguogong's mansion. She was a fierce woman selected by Bai Ruji from the human market. She was a powerful woman who could shout and fight, so she was highly valued by Bai Ruji.

Su Yaoqin gritted her teeth, her lip was bitten, and drops of blood fell.

"What are you crazy about? How can our daughter have her feet bound?"

Su San pushed open the closed red door, and a crowd of people surrounded Su Yaoqin. Foot wrappers were scattered on the ground, and there was blood everywhere.

She angrily picked up a stool and hit the leader, Sister Song, hard on the arm.

"Get rid of your dirty hands, you old pious woman. She died of tuberculosis all by herself. She didn't sell enough girls, and she also engaged in the business of forcing good girls to be promoted. You are not living a satisfactory life, but you prefer to torture others for fun. You deserve to be loan sharks." Caught by the government!"

Su San had a sharp mouth and strong hands, but she was a barbarian who studied martial arts. Even a group of adults couldn't stop her. She swept them all to the ground with a bench and screamed non-stop.

"You will learn martial arts with me from now on. I will teach you all the skills I know! Use your feet well, and you will not be harmed by these bitches!"

Su San felt itchy with hatred, as if she was the one being pressed and bound.

Su Yaoqin fell to the ground, her brain was filled with blood, her face was steaming, and her brain was buzzing.

"This is not the intention of the old woman alone. It was ordered by the madam herself. Most daughters of other families have their feet bound when they are three or four years old. But our girl was picked up from outside. She is so big and has a pair of big shoes on her feet." Feet, how can you be a lady?"

Even though Grandma Song was beaten, she refused to take advantage of her words.

Su San defended Su Yaoqin's injustice, picked up the bench and hit Nanny Song on the head.

He pointed at her nose and cursed.

"On weekdays, you take advantage of your age and rely on your old age. The people in the house pretend that you don't know for the sake of my wife's face. I just heard that I didn't think that you, an old man, should be so bad. Today, when I see you, you are worse than me. Rumor has it that he’s even more vicious!”

Su San kicked Nanny Song, who was half up, and she vomited blood. A group of maids ran away in fright, screaming.

Su Yaoqin pinched her toes, but still had no feeling at all.

Su San came over and wanted to untie the foot wrap, but Su Yaoqin held her hand down.

"Su San, I can't feel my feet."

Su Yaoqin's always calm voice was trembling. The hand she held Su San was not only bloody, but also trembling uncontrollably.

Su San was very unwilling to give up. She had never believed in fate. After peeling off the flesh and blood cut by the broken porcelain pieces, she was so frightened that she backed away and fell to the ground.

She muttered to herself in a daze, "How could this happen... This is just the beginning, why did I cut my hamstring..."

Since the late spring when the roses bloomed, Su Yaoqin has lost the ability to walk on her feet. Even if the tendons are connected, the feet are twisted and deformed day after day under the entanglement.

Considering that Su Yaoqin was depressed and didn't think about food or food during the period of time when her feet were bound, Bai Ru was very compassionate and granted Su Yaoqin half a month's leave.

Su Yaoqin was sitting in a wheelchair, and a little maid pushed the wheelchair to the desk.

Su Yaoqin came here alone and was bored in Hongyexuan. Su San was taken outside the house by Su Bai, saying that he was learning the Six Arts of a Gentleman from the Lu family's girl, and he didn't return for a long time.

She knew that Bai Ruji didn't want Su San to come over.

Su Yaoqin picked up the pen and drew small emerald green snakes on the rice paper, twisted like ribbons, glowing with strange beauty, coiled among a clump of green bamboo.

One day, Bai Ru asked the maid serving Su Yaoqin how the eldest lady was doing recently. The maid only said that the eldest lady had been drawing snakes for several days.

Su Yaoqin was originally the daughter of Yang Yuwen, with a tattoo of a poisonous snake. Her mother was the young master of the Medicine King Valley, and her father was a close disciple of the poison sect leader. She was indeed closely related to poisons.

In addition to selecting the puppet team, Bai Ru found a team of snake charmers for Su Yaoqin.

Hulusi unique to the Southwest, with a dark complexion, looks like a man at the bottom of a pot shaking his head and playing weird tunes. His body is swaying and his feet are still beating the beat. A black and white inlaid snake on the ground stands upright, with a bulging back of its neck. A piece of meat that looks like a banana leaf.

When a person plays the flute, the snake moves with him.

Su Yaoqin was sitting in a wheelchair, staring intently at the venomous snake. This snake was the king of the deep mountains and old forests. It devoured its own kind and was extremely poisonous. A drop of venom from its fangs was enough to kill a family of seven.

Her heart moved, and she clapped her hands to attract the snake. The snake was stunned for a moment, slowly turned its head, stared at Su Yaoqin not far away, and clapped her hands again when she saw her.

It threw itself down, clung to the ground, and meandered away, like a pool of flowing water, wrapping around Su Yaoqin's legs.

The snake was more than five feet long, with smooth and oily scales. It hooked Su Yaoqin along her waist, stretched out its head from behind, and met her eyes.

Su Yaoqin opened her mouth and hissed a few words of snake language, and the snake crawled back to the snake charmer's feet.

The maids and servants around were all scared to death, and the snake charmer was also scared to death, fearing that something had happened to Miss Hou Mansion.

In the middle of the night, everyone in the mansion, except for the watchman, stayed in their respective residences and fell asleep quietly.

A big snake, whose scales reflected the moonlight, pushed its head against the carved window. After a few efforts, a gap was opened. It slid into Hongyexuan's bedroom, climbed all the way, and followed Su Yaoqin's stretched out arm to climb onto her bed.

Su Yaoqin understands snake language, and those cold-blooded legless snakes are naturally close to her.

She held her snake in her arms and spent the night peacefully.

It was like this for many days in a row. Su San didn't come back, and it was the snake that accompanied Su Yaoqin in her dreams.

Later, Su Yaoqin secretly bought the big snake from the snake charmer and secretly hid it under the bed.

—

When Su San came back, the myrtle flowers were in bloom during the Dragon Boat Festival. She was as excited as when she first saw the folded flowers, folding off flower paper and making garlands.

She came back from outside and brought many novel puppets to Su Yaoqin, each one more beautiful than the other. One of them was a fox puppet that Lu Ling wanted from Mrs. Huarui.

Unforeseen circumstances arise, and Bai Ru didn't like how involved Su Yaoqin was with the past, so she gave her a new name, and even tried to cover up her poisonous snake tattoo with makeup.

Who knew that Su Yaoqin was so bold that she kept an extremely poisonous snake under the bed.

"We can't keep this snake. Madam said we would kill it."

The naughty Nanny Song fulfilled her duties and ordered a group of boys to hit the white cloth bag with sticks. Suddenly, the flesh and blood were mutilated, and black and red blood stains oozed out.

Su Yaoqin looked coldly. Over there, Su Sanhuan happily returned to Hongye Xuan. As soon as she entered the door, she was forced to retreat by the smell of blood.

"What are you doing?"

Aunt Song was silent for a while, while the boy spoke.

"The eldest lady bought a poisonous snake from a snake charmer without telling the lady. The lady was worried that the snake would bite the eldest lady, so she specially asked us to come over and deal with the poison."

The myrtle in Yun Kingdom is blooming, which means that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and there are yellow realgar powder everywhere in the corners.

Su San looked at the bag of blood in silence. A few days later, she found a way to climb over the wall and bought a non-venomous black-tipped snake from an outside pharmacy. Its body was jet black and it looked cute.

The medicine shop bought it from farmers in the mountains and prepared to make medicinal wine.

Su San felt that he had saved the snake's life. Thinking that Su Yaoqin had lost a venomous snake, he felt sad, so he bought a docile non-venomous snake to coax her.

——

Su Yaoqin was leaning on the wheelchair, holding a fox puppet in her hand, with pus on her feet. Several experienced nuns were using burnt knives to dig out the rotten flesh and squeeze out the pus and blood.

The water that counted the time was leaking, ticking, and Su Yaoqin was so sleepy that she yawned. She felt lovesickness in her body, and her every move was controlled by Bai Ruru.

Because she was afraid of pain, she took Mafei powder with hallucinogenic ingredients when she felt pain. She felt groggy all day long, thinking about taking a nap, and dozed off endlessly.

When Su San came back, Su Yaoqin had just woken up and vaguely saw a black snake spitting out a bright red snake letter.

Looks weirdly cute.

"Do you like it?" Su San held it up like a treasure.

Su Yaoqin spoke snake language and hissed a few times, and the black-tipped snake followed her fingertips and wrapped around her arm.

"Where did the money come from? Didn't you exchange all your monthly money with Lu Ling for foxes?"

That puppet was loved by Su Yaoqin and never left her body.

Su Sannu pursed her lips, "I asked Aunt Chen for money. She usually likes to shout about how much she loves me. It's not too much for me to ask her for a little money."

She doesn't call Chen Mengyu "Mother", not even in private.

Su Yaoqin pressed her face against Wushao Snake's body, which was cold and very comfortable.

"Bai Ru said, if I insist on keeping the big snake, I can only pull out its fangs and use medicine to destroy the snake's venom sac, so that it will never grow fangs for the rest of its life."

Su Yaoqin stroked the tail of the black snake with her fingers.

Su San didn't say anything. She learned from the few words of others that the eldest lady had a bad temper during this period, and was prone to getting angry and throwing things.

The big snake was extremely venomous. The eldest lady cried and wanted to keep it, but she refused to take off the snake's fangs. Although she could, she chose to refuse Bai Ruru and let the big snake be beaten to pulp alive.

"I think no matter which choice you make, you will feel sad."

Su San wanted to comfort Su Yaoqin.

Su Yaoqin pushed her hand away and said warmly: "If I had kept that big snake, today, this black snake would have become its meal. I really don't know what to do."

Su San was silent, she couldn't understand Su Yaoqin.

It seemed that after being taught the rules and etiquette by the nuns, Su Yaoqin changed. She seemed to be wrapped in a hazy mist and couldn't understand.

"The fangs of a poisonous snake are like the claws of a beast. How can it survive without its fangs?"

Su Yaoqin couldn't let go of those black-tip snakes, and there was melancholy in her eyebrows.

"To become a play pet, it might as well go back to the wild. At least it still has fangs."

Su San seemed to have been plucked from a string, and asked the servants in the house to find out the white cloth bag containing the big snake.

When I opened it, I found that it was not the five-foot black snake described by the servant, but a group of green lizards.
