Chapter 117 Rescue
Before falling, Lu Qinghui had made a detailed observation of the situation below. Although she was a little nervous, she knew that even if she fell, there would be people to protect her and act as a cushion.
The people below heard a scream from above and looked up, only to see two young women falling straight down. They wanted to disperse to the side in panic, but the whole street was packed with people and it was impossible to disperse.
Just at this moment, Zhao He and Pei Yuan were about to enter Shunan Shopping Mall from the side door. When they saw this scene, they instinctively wanted to fly into the air and catch the two women. Otherwise, if they let the two women fall directly down, countless people would suffer.
However, he thought that if his identity was entangled with these two women, it would not be a simple matter, so he signaled Pei Yuan to rescue him.
Pei Yuan nodded and tapped the ground with his toes. His body instantly rose high and flew over the roof like a flying swallow. He grabbed the hanging red cloth and swung forward with the momentum.
He put one hand around Lu Jingshu's slender waist and the other hand tightly grasped Lu Qinghui's collar. It seemed as if he drew a graceful arc in the air and landed steadily on an open space in the crowd.
The people around were amazed when they saw this: "This knight is so skilled in martial arts that he was able to save two people at the same time!"
"That's right. The most important thing is that he saved us. If it weren't for him, we would have been crushed to death by these two women."
"Did these two fall from Shunan Mall? Judging from their attire, they seem to be either rich or noble. Luckily, they didn't fall on us, otherwise if something happened, I don't know if they would blame us."
The sound of discussion continued one after another.
Seeing that the two women he rescued seemed to be fine, Pei Yuan wanted to quickly return to Zhao He.
"Sir, please stay." Lu Jingshu still had a tearful tone in her voice. She had just thought that she was going to die, but who would have thought that she would be saved by this young man, and in such a heroic posture.
She recalled how she had snuggled up to the man's solid chest, and how his scent seemed to remain in her hair. Her cheeks couldn't help but blush. "May I ask your name, knight? I will prepare a generous gift to express my gratitude in the future."
Pei Yuan paused for a moment, and after hearing these words, he responded calmly, "No need."
After saying that, he strode forward, wanting to find Zhao He as soon as possible.
Because Lu Qinghui was rescued by holding the clothes on the back of her neck, she was still gasping for breath for a long time. At this time, seeing her elder sister being rejected, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy in her heart.
She originally wanted to take this opportunity to scare her elder sister. Anyway, there were civilians below to serve as human shields, so it would not be a big deal if she fell down. Who would have thought that a hero would come out halfway to save the beauty? But as long as her goal was achieved, it was fine.
"Are you doing this on purpose?" Lu Jingshu turned around and looked at her half-sister whose clothes were disheveled, with a hint of coldness in her voice.
"Sister, please don't wrongly accuse me. I just wanted to remind you not to fall down, but you pushed me. I was so anxious that I couldn't think straight, so I pulled you back." Lu Qinghui immediately squeezed out a few tears and said aggrievedly.
Lu Jingshu snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the side door.
Guo Xin had been paying close attention to the developments in the mall. When he saw the accident, he immediately rushed over.
When Envoy Lu and Madam Lu heard the screams, they were worried. After seeing the two sisters being rescued, they immediately walked towards them and said with concern, "Go back to the mansion quickly. We need to find the mansion doctor to check. Don't make sure anything happened."
"Mom, I'm fine. A knight just saved me." Lu Jingshu said, "It's just that the reason I fell down is really strange."
As he said this, he glanced at Lu Qinghui indifferently.
When Envoy Lu saw the expression on the face of the legitimate daughter, he understood what it meant. However, he had always loved Lu Qinghui, so when he saw the legitimate daughter directly pointing the finger at the concubine's daughter for framing her, he still had a partiality in his heart and said in a gentle voice, "Let's talk about it when we get back to the mansion. There might be some misunderstanding."
Mrs. Lu was about to say something when Guo Xin interrupted her and said, "I'm the boss of this mall. I'm really sorry that you two ladies have had such a big incident here. I wonder if you two ladies are okay?"
When Envoy Lu looked at the little girl in front of him, he knew that this was the granddaughter of the General of the Cavalry who had recently caused a stir in Suining City.
Then he said in a friendly manner: "No problem, your mall is well run. If there is anything we want to buy in our house, we will definitely come here to buy it."
Guo Xin nodded and smiled: "If anything goes wrong with the two ladies, you can contact me at any time. Our mall is willing to bear all medical expenses."
Mrs. Lu looked at the graceful woman in front of her and knew her identity. She smiled and said, "The granddaughter of the He family is different. She is so generous and polite. But the young ladies in our family should be fine, so I won't bother you."
……
"I already know the cause and process of the incident clearly."
Lu Yunyan looked at Lu Qinghui with disappointment and said, "When you bullied your classmates in the academy before, I just thought you were young and ignorant, and didn't punish you much. But now you can do such a vicious thing as murdering my eldest sister."
Lu Qinghui knelt in the hall without saying a word.
At this point, she had nothing to say. She had originally thought that she had done it perfectly and impeccably, and indeed she had not found any evidence to prove that she had done it on purpose.
It’s just that my father needed to give an explanation to my stepmother, so he directly brought up her deeds in the academy and pointed out that she was the one who did it, so what else could I say?
I can only blame myself for not having a mother with a prominent family background.
Lu Zhuanyun looked at Lu Qinghui, who was still full of resentment, and sighed, "Now that things have come to this, you don't need to go to Yuanlin Academy. Go to the farm in the countryside to reflect on yourself."
Lu Qinghui raised her head, looking shocked and wanting to say something, but before she could open her mouth she was taken out by the servants.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Jingshu coquettishly sat down between Lu Yunyunshi and Madam Lu and said shyly, "Daddy, mother, I have something to ask of you."
Madam Lu looked at her daughter, smiled at Lu Yunyunshi, and said, "Our daughter came to us for something. I heard that she was a hero saving a beautiful girl today. Was it for this matter?"
"Mom~" Lu Jingshu said coquettishly, recalling the scene when she was rescued. However, the man's breath had long dissipated and she could no longer smell it.
"Jingshu is indeed at the age to get married. If the man is a good guy, we can discuss it." Envoy Lu couldn't help but smile when he saw his daughter's expression.
He waved his hand and called the servant to inquire for news.
