With Concubine Shu's shout, the scene immediately became chaotic.
Yu Niaoniao ignored this.
She took out the handkerchief she carried with her and tied a knot around the dead snake, then handed it to the eunuch beside her.
"Hold it for me."
The young eunuch swallowed hard. "Why must I hold it?"
Such a scary thing should be thrown away!
Yu Niaoniao said matter-of-factly.
"Why throw it away? It's such a waste. Wouldn't it be better to bring it back to cook snake soup?"
The young eunuch did not know how to respond. His face turned red as he forced out a comment.
"You sure know how to live."
He gingerly took the snake's carcass.
It took a while for Noble Consort Shu to calm down.
She knew that she had lost her composure just now and was actually frightened to death by a small snake. How embarrassing would it be if word got out?!
