Chapter 106 Unseemly
In the chaos, Shen Jingzhen was almost unconscious, but she instinctively sensed a shadow approaching, and then someone pulled her up.
And this force made her feel like she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Out of the instinct for survival, Shen Jingzhen, who was almost exhausted, suddenly struggled violently, wrapping her hands and feet tightly around Wang Xiao, fearing that he would abandon her.
Wang Xiao is a decent swimmer, but not an expert.
If she had behaved herself, perhaps he could have successfully brought her to the lake. But when she struggled in the water, Wang Xiao instantly felt like he had a mountain on his back. Not only could he not save her, but he was also being dragged into the water.
While trying to restrain Shen Jingzhen, Wang Xiao hurriedly said, "Don't move!"
But at this moment, Shen Jingzhen, who was on the verge of death, was not going to listen to any of this and was still clinging to Wang Xiao like a water ghost.
Wang Xiao wiped the water off his face with one hand, and then tried to bring Shen Jingzhen's head to the surface of the water.
But although he was a man and very strong, he was not much stronger than Shen Jingzhen who was struggling to death.
What's more, rescuing people in water is a huge drain on physical strength.
Wang Xiao had no choice but to grit his teeth and raised his hand to hit Shen Jingzhen on the back of the neck several times. Shen Jingzhen's eyes were about to burst, and she stared at her like a demon.
What is this person going to do!
This man actually hit her...
There was no time to think more, because of Wang Xiao's action, Shen Jingzhen's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and with a lot of effort, he brought Shen Jingzhen out of the water, panting.
At this moment, Qin Xuerong, Madam Wang, Madam Feng and even Princess Duan and their group had already reached the edge of Yu Lake.
Not only that, Zhao Baokun also came over chatting and laughing with a few young masters who also had humble family backgrounds and were not valued.
"What's going on over there? It looks like someone fell into the water?" The young man in a light green brocade robe holding a folding fan in one hand just said something, and when he raised his head slightly, he saw two heads exposed in the middle of the lake.
Because they were far away, they couldn't see it clearly.
But no matter how unreal it is, people struggling in the water are always different from other things.
Zhao Baokun's heart moved.
His cousin said there would be a good show to watch today, so he kept paying attention.
Now it seems that his cousin did not lie to him!
"Let's go and take a look." Zhao Baokun said seriously, and as he spoke, several people went around the side of Yu Lake to the other end.
"Ma'am, there seems to be someone in the lake!"
Several ladies were surrounded by many maids and servants, and were originally chatting. Nanny Wang had sharp eyes and immediately spoke up to remind them.
Hearing this, several ladies looked up at the same time, their eyes falling on two small shadows in the center of the lake.
Princess Duan frowned: "What's going on! Could it be that someone fell into the water?"
Madam Wang also straightened her face and said, "Yuhu Lake is not a place for banquets. Although there are no restrictions, most people don't come here. How could someone fall into the water here?"
Young men and women usually don't come here to avoid this. They just come here to have some private conversation and to be quiet.
Madam Feng said, "From the looks of it, it seems to be a man and a woman. How could a man and a woman fall into the lake here? In my opinion, they might have had a secret meeting here and it caused trouble."
Princess Duan looked unhappy and said in a deep voice, "You are so bold to cause trouble in my Prince Duan's Mansion!"
Qin Xuerong comforted him in a gentle voice: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding here. The most important thing right now is to save people."
Of course saving lives is the most important thing. Shen Shuyi is still useful, and she doesn't want her to die so soon.
She had caused her so much trouble during this period, so she had to get some compensation after all.
What's more, with her current status, if it weren't for Sister Yu's help, she would never have been able to marry into a prominent family like the Wang family.
"Did something happen here?" Shen Jing'an and several young men of similar age came forward.
Seeing Shen Jingan, Qin Xuerong was stunned for a few seconds, and subconsciously said: "Brother An, what's wrong with your face?"
Shen Jing'an said gently, "Don't worry, mother. I just had a martial arts exchange with a few young masters, and my son's skills were not as good as theirs, so I suffered some minor injuries."
Qin Xuerong still had some worry in her eyes, while Madam Wang beside her said, "Ang'er is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also has aspirations in martial arts. He is truly a young hero."
Madam Feng also smiled and said, "It's not easy to practice martial arts. Injuries are inevitable. What's rare is that An Ge'er has such a heart."
Princess Duan said, "Is it that boy from the Chai family who did it? These young people are just full of youthful vigor. Just wait and see how I'll teach them a lesson when I get back!"
With just one word, even if it is a scolding, one can tell how close or distant the relationship is.
When Chai Bin was mentioned, Shen Jingan's face stiffened slightly for a moment.
No one knew how difficult it was for him to hold on until now. He now limped when he walked, and the wounds on his waist, abdomen, back and chest were all burning.
But he couldn't leave at this time. If he left at this time, he would only be criticized and would make his father unhappy.
Listening to Princess Duan's words, Qin Xuerong hurriedly said, "Princess, you are too serious. It is just a competition between children, so injuries are inevitable. Besides, An Ge'er has always been young and energetic, so he should be taught a lesson."
Princess Duan was quite satisfied with her tactfulness.
Although Chai Zhi is now only the Minister of War, Concubine Li in the palace is Chai Bin's sister and is quite favored by the emperor.
Now that Concubine Li is pregnant, no matter what baby she gives birth to, it will be a happy event for the Chai family.
What's more, the Chai family has a good relationship with the third prince, and their Prince Duan's Mansion is in the same boat with the third prince, so naturally they don't want the Shen family to be ignorant.
"It just so happens that I have a nice set of four treasures of the study. I'll have someone give it to Second Master Shen to help him calm down."
Hearing this, Qin Xuerong was delighted.
You know, it is usually difficult for her to get in touch with Princess Duan, but Prince Duan respects Tutor Wang's family, and she and Madam Wang have been in frequent contact recently, and they were quite close at this banquet today.
In addition, Anger and the master also got in touch with the Chai family, so she had the opportunity to chat with Princess Duan.
"Thank you, Princess, for your kindness!" Shen Jing'an immediately bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
While they were talking, some maids and guards came to the lake to help. Because there were so many people, their view was largely blocked.
One man couldn't help but ask, "What happened in the lake?"
Princess Duan said in a deep voice: "It seems that a man and a woman fell into the lake."
The other party was stunned for a few seconds and didn't say anything. Instead, Shen Jing'an frowned and said, "How could this man and woman fall into the water together in broad daylight? It's really outrageous!"
Qin Xuerong curled her lips and gave Nanny Wang a wink.
While everyone's attention was focused on the lake, Nanny Wang walked over to Shen Jing'an and whispered, "The one who fell into the water must be the Second Miss."
Hearing this, Shen Jing'an's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and then he frowned and said: "Although the customs of Daqian are open, it is really immoral for men and women to be so close to each other. It is harmful to morals and ethics."
