After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.
Chapter 9 But your brother fell into the water
At this time, Madam Cui walked into the chess room followed by a group of maids.
Mrs. Li happened to have something to do, so after bowing to Mrs. Cui who had just entered, she left.
Old Madam Cui sat opposite Liang Tan, looking at the chess situation on the board.
The white piece occupies the three corners, and the chessboard looks like it has won. But in fact, the black piece, which occupies only one corner, is as powerful as a flying dragon, and it only needs that one finishing move. If the piece falls, the whole chess game will change dramatically.
Old Madam Cui looked at Liang Tan who had put down Heizi. She leaned on her crutches and smiled at Liang Tan: "You are the daughter of the Liang family, right?"
Liang Tan stood up respectfully and looked at Old Madam Cui: "Yes, Liang Tan greets Old Madam."
"No need to be polite." Old Madam Cui asked with a smile, "You were about to win with just one more move, why did you suddenly give up?"
As a guest at Madam Li's birthday party, she naturally couldn't steal the limelight from the host, but what Liang Tan didn't expect was that Madam Cui could actually understand it.
Often, this move is only realized by everyone after it has been made.
Liang Tan smiled distantly: "It is Liang Tan's eyesight that makes me fail to discover the subtlety of what the old lady said."
Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "He's a good child."
Be polite and modest, and act accordingly.
"Tan Er, do you want to go for a walk with this old lady like me?"
Liang Tan was not familiar with Old Madam Cui. In her previous life, she heard from her uncle that Old Madam Cui had taken a fancy to her and wanted her to marry into the Cui Mansion. But at that time, she had already arranged to marry Li Ruo, so the matter was left unresolved.
Therefore, Liang Tan knew very well that Old Madam Cui had a good impression of her.
Liang Tan did not reject Mrs. Cui's proposal.
The two were walking on the stone path when they suddenly heard a scream not far away.
Liang Tan and Old Madam Cui rushed to the source of the sound together. Before they reached the lake, they saw a slender and frail woman pushing the little boy in front of her into the lake.
Just like last time, Xu Shengsheng pushed Young Master Li into the water again.
The only difference is that this time, Li Ruo is also there, and he is fighting hard against Madam Li.
……
a minute ago.
"Mom, did you see a girl in maroon clothes? She came in with me and we got separated."
Xu Shengsheng came in with him, but he couldn't find her when he turned around. Li Ruo was worried that she might have had an accident, so he looked for her everywhere in the mansion and finally found her here.
Mrs. Li was about to scold him for going to look for a girl at this time, but she heard a loud sound of falling into the water.
A maidservant cried out, "Oh no! Oh no! The young master has fallen into the water!"
"Li Ruo, Master Li... Help! Help..." Xu Shengsheng lost all his strength. Just as his body was about to sink, he vaguely saw Li Ruo's back. Xu Shengsheng shouted at the top of his voice: "Li Ruo, Li Ruo..."
It’s Shengsheng’s voice!
There was no way she could be wrong…Her voice was like heavenly music, deeply imprinted in his mind.
Li Ruo looked and saw a thin figure struggling in the lake. Suddenly, his heart ached. Li Ruo anxiously shouted to the person in the lake: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
Xu Shengsheng and her brother fell into the water at the same time. Li Ruo took off his clothes without hesitation and jumped into the water with the guards. He swam towards Xu Shengsheng and rescued her to the shore.
In full view of everyone, Li Ruo took off his cloak to keep warm and wrapped Xu Shengsheng tightly with his cloak. Everyone present gasped when they saw this scene.
When he turned around to save his brother, he found that his brother had already been rescued to shore by the guards.
Li Ruo realized that his action was a bit reckless. He stood up and said to everyone with a righteous face: "I am saving people. If I don't help someone in need, I am unworthy of being a human being."
When Li Ruo wanted to carry Xu Shengsheng away, Madam Li shouted, “Stop!”
Li Ruo's heart was on fire, and he didn't care about his dignity at this moment. He shouted at Madam Li: "Mother! Why do you treat her like this? She is just a weak woman."
Mrs. Li clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "But your brother fell into the water."
"My brother fell into the water, but he's fine, right? Why do you have to let another innocent person be implicated..."
"It was freezing cold, and your brother was only seven years old when he was pushed into the lake by this vicious woman! You can just cover it up with a simple 'it's okay'?"
Mrs. Li looked at Li Ruo and felt a splitting headache.
Li Ruo shook his head and refuted Mrs. Li's words: "No, there must be some misunderstanding! I don't believe she would push her brother."
He trusts his vision.
There must be someone interfering here.
"Ugh..." Xu Shengsheng, who was held in Li Ruo's arms, spit out a mouthful of water, and then she felt that she had rested.
Xu Shengsheng struggled to get out of Li Ruo's arms. Li Ruo looked at her with eyes full of heartache as she knelt down.
"Madam, there were some misunderstandings today, but I am willing to accept the punishment..."
What Mrs. Li hates most is this kind of shameless behavior.
……
At this time, Mrs. Cui and Liang Tan also walked over.
Madam Li pointed at Xu Shengsheng's face angrily and said, "Well, you little bitch, you're still pretending to be me. I'll kill you to vent my anger!"
Xu Shengsheng knew that the situation had changed. She rolled her eyes and suddenly looked at Liang Tan who was standing next to Old Madam Cui: "Miss, Miss, save me..."
Liang Tan shot a cold gaze at Xu Shengsheng and asked indifferently: "Who are you? Do I know you?"
"I..." Xu Shengsheng's chest hurt so much that she gasped for breath while speaking: "Miss, we are all from the Liang Mansion..."
Mrs. Li on the side also looked at Liang Tan in confusion, obviously not understanding what was going on.
Liang Tan listened to Xu Shengsheng's trembling voice and looked up and down at Xu Shengsheng's clothes. Liang Tan's face remained calm: "You look unfamiliar."
Liang Tan looked back at Dengzhi with a little hesitation: "Dengzhi, do you recognize him?"
Dengzhi shook his head, looking innocent: "I don't recognize you. Yes, who are you? Why did you do something bad and want to blame our eldest lady?"
Xu Shengsheng was numb. She pointed at herself. After falling into the water, all her clothes were wet and stuck to her body, making her look even more fragile and pitiful: "Me, why are you pretending not to know me?"
"Pretending?" Dengzhi pointed at himself and then at Liang Tan with an innocent look on his face: "We really don't know you."
"You... I am the second lady of the Liang family, I am the second lady, and I am also Liang Su's..." In order to save her life, Xu Shengsheng simply went for broke and said that she was also Liang Su's daughter.
One failure is nothing, as long as Madam Li can spare her life for Liang Su's sake. As for Liang Su, she has her own "halo of the heroine", and Liang Su will not be angry with her.
But before Xu Shengsheng finished speaking, no one expected it.
Liang Tan, who was always calm, went up and kicked her.
