Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 304 The Little Fox Spirit
Yan Ciwan realized that Adan had misunderstood her meaning, but she did not explain. Instead, she deliberately gave a meaningful smile.

"If you call him out, you'll know everything."

Adan was a fierce and shrewish woman. When she saw that this wild woman dared to come to her door to provoke her, she was immediately furious and wanted to pounce on her and tear this little vixen to pieces.

But considering there were other customers in the store, and that she would continue to do business there, reputation was very important. Even if a fight were to break out, she had to maintain the moral high ground.

Thinking of this, Adan forcibly suppressed his anger and sneered, "Fine, I'll go and call him out right now, so the two of you can confront each other!"

After saying that, she turned and left angrily.

Yan Ciwan watched as she flung open the curtain and stormed in aggressively.

Moments later, a man's screams rang out, interspersed with some words from the Western Regions.

The customers in the shop were all from Daye and couldn't understand the Western Regions language, but Yan Ciwan could. Xizhou was close to the Western Regions, where many Hu people who had migrated from the Western Regions lived. Even the royal palace had many Hu servants. In order to facilitate communication, Yan Ciwan had been learning various languages ​​of the Western Regions since childhood.

She strained her ears to listen and heard Adan cursing.

"You bastard, how dare you cheat on me? I'm going to break your legs today!"

Then came the man's wailing.

"Ouch, it hurts so much! What are you saying, my wife? I've always been honest and upright, and my love for you is as clear as day. I swear I've never had a relationship with another woman. Please stop hitting me!"

"You still won't tell the truth? That slut has come knocking on our door! She specifically asked to see you! Tell me, are you planning to divorce me and marry her? You heartless bastard, I've worked so hard for this family day and night, and this is how you treat me? I'll beat you to death!"

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! You control all the money in the house, and I don't even have a penny in my pocket. Even if I wanted to find a woman outside, no woman would want to talk to me!"

"What did you say? Are you blaming me for not giving you money? Do you think you can go find other women now that you have money? An Tong, you bastard, don't you dare run away. I'll kill you first, then I'll kill that vixen, and I'll send you two illicit lovers to meet in the underworld!"

……

The sound of hurried footsteps approached, and then the curtain was lifted. An Tong ran out, clutching his head. His clothes were torn, his hair was disheveled, and there was a bright red handprint on each cheek.

He ran while shouting, "Help! Someone is trying to murder her husband!"

The curtain had just fallen when it was lifted again, and Adan rushed out carrying a kitchen knife. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was full of rage; she was clearly furious.

"An Tong, don't run away! We're not done here until this is cleared up!"

The customers in the store were all startled and turned to look at the couple.

An Tong didn't care about saving face at this moment. She grabbed the nearest male customer and pleaded tearfully, "Boss Zhao, please save me! This woman is going to kill me!"

He spoke in Chang'an Mandarin, which the guest, called Boss Zhao, understood. Boss Zhao was in a dilemma; this was someone else's family matter, and how could an outsider like him meddle?

But An Tong looked so pitiful that Boss Zhao felt a little soft-hearted and said to A Dan.

"Calm down first. No matter what, you can't use a knife. There are so many people in the store. What if you accidentally hurt someone?"

Ignoring Boss Zhao's advice, Adan stared intently at An Tong and demanded fiercely, "A real man should be responsible for his actions. How exactly did you meet that little vixen?"

An Tong cried, "What little vixen? I'm an innocent man, I've never had any affairs. You've been my wife for years, you should believe me!"

"Then what happened to her?"

Adan brandished the kitchen knife, pointing it at Yan Ciwan sitting by the window. Everyone in the shop turned their heads in unison, their eyes all falling on Yan Ciwan.

An Tong peeked out from behind Boss Zhao, cautiously observing Yan Ciwan, and asked tearfully, "Young lady, who are you? I don't know you at all."

Yan Ciwan beckoned to him with her finger: "Come here, I'll tell you a secret."

Upon seeing this, Adan was instantly enraged and cursed, "You little slut, how dare you flirt with my man in front of me? Do you believe I'll chop you up right now?!"

An Tong was so frightened that he turned pale and hid behind Boss Zhao, refusing to come out no matter what.

Yan Ciwan looked helpless: "What are you afraid of? I'm not going to eat you."

After saying that, she stood up and walked towards An Tong.

Adan could no longer hold back and rushed forward with her knife to block Yan Ciwan's path.

"You little bitch, are you really not afraid?!"

Yan Ciwan said calmly, "There are so many people watching. If you really kill me, I'll file a lawsuit with the county government. Not only will you go to jail, but you might also lose your shop. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Adan's hand, gripping the cleaver, was trembling, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.

"No need for all that trouble. I'll kill you first, then An Tong, and finally commit suicide. Death will end it all!"

After saying that, she raised the kitchen knife and slashed fiercely at Yan Ciwan.

Everyone in the store was terrified.

They all thought Yan Ciwan was about to die when they saw her raise her left hand and grab Adan's right wrist.

Yan Ciwan didn't seem to be using much force, but Adan's right hand was trembling. Her gaze towards Yan Ciwan quickly changed from resentment to shock and anger.

"How did you..."

Yan Ciwan easily snatched the kitchen knife from her hand with a little force, and said with a smile, "You are still young, and you have a long road ahead of you. Don't try to kill yourself so easily."

Adan's right hand hung down, unnoticed by outsiders, but in fact, her right wrist still aches faintly.

When Yan Ciwan grabbed her wrist just now, she tried her best but couldn't break free. The other party's strength was too great, as if a slight twist could break her bones.

She was both shocked and frightened, and dared not make any further rash moves.

Yan Ciwan walked up to Boss Zhao and said, "Please make way."

Mr. Zhao glanced at the kitchen knife she was holding and wisely moved two large steps to the side.

In this way, An Tong, who was originally hiding behind him, was completely exposed.

An Tong retreated in fear, like a startled rabbit: "Who are you? I really don't know you, don't do anything rash!"

Yan Ciwan took out a small metal token from her bosom and placed it in front of An Tong.

"Do you know this?"

When An Tong saw the token clearly, he froze, and the expression on his face froze.
