Chapter 146: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 26

The girl's hair was soaked and her face was pale. She held Lu Zhao's waist tightly with both hands. Her body was trembling slightly. Her thin body looked particularly thin after being soaked in water.

Lu Zhao, who was pressed against her, felt it most. He could feel the softness of the woman in his arms, her increasingly tight fists, and her slightly trembling body. Seeing this, Lu Zhao asked his men to hand over a cloak.

After being covered by the cloak, Jiang Xinghui reluctantly let go of Lu Zhao's arms and lowered his head with shyness and joy.

She glanced around and saw Hong Luo, who looked a little dumbfounded, and signaled with her eyes.

"Red Luo."

Hong Luo then woke up as if from a dream and knelt down quickly to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, my Lord, for saving my Third Miss, but..." Hong Luo paused, "But my Miss hasn't been engaged yet, and now in public..."

The rest of the words were not spoken, but everyone present was not a fool, they all heard the hidden meaning in her words.

There was a faint sound of sneer coming from the crowd, they seemed to be looking down on this Third Miss Jiang.

If this was not said by a maid, but by the current mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they would not be so disdainful.

After all, how high a status does a little maid have to have to dare to question the prince?

The few seconds of silence at the scene made Jiang Xinghui, who had been immersed in sweetness, realize that something was wrong. She was too impatient.

She raised her head slightly and smiled softly at Lu Zhao, with a hint of disappointment mixed in with her apology.

"Sir, thank you for saving my daughter's life. Please don't take my maid's matter to heart..."

"Are you Miss Jiang San? Not Jiang Yueshu?" Lu Zhao suddenly spoke.

Jiang Xinghui's face suddenly turned pale, and tears welled up in his eyes, about to fall. "Sir, did you save the wrong person? You wanted to save my sister, but you saved me instead?"

Before Lu Zhao could speak, another call suddenly came.

"Shushu? Is that you?"

Yunxi screamed and squeezed into the middle of the crowd. When she saw the three people on the field, she froze instantly, but her smile returned the next second.

The trap she set up for Jiang Yueshu was for one purpose, which was to allow her daughter to marry into the Marquis's Mansion. Looking at the current situation, the prince saved her daughter, and the two must have had close contact.

As long as she pushes a little, her daughter will definitely get what she wants.

Father Jiang and Jiang Yixiu also ran in one after another, and saw Jiang Xinghui who was rescued at a glance, and said excitedly.

"Where's Shushu? Xinghui, where is your sister?"

When Jiang Xinghui heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red, tears rolled down his cheeks, and he spoke in grief.

"Father, my sister...she...sank..."

Yunxi's eyes brightened and he felt refreshed, but his face showed a look of astonishment and shock.

Upon hearing this, Father Jiang's pupils shrank sharply, his vision went dark, and he could not stand steadily for a moment and fell backwards. Jiang Yixiu, suppressing his grief, quickly caught him.

"Quick, send someone to look for him."

Jiang Yixiu immediately ordered the guards of the Yun Mansion to salvage the things from the lake.

How could her sister die?

If he is dead, I want to see him in person; if he is alive, I want to see his corpse.

Even if he had to scoop out all the water in the lake, he would definitely find his sister.

After hearing this, Jiang's father cheered up and pulled Jiang Yixiu to look for him.

The lake surface was in full view; all the ladies who had fallen into the water had been fished out, leaving not a single person in sight.

Seeing this, Liu Jingxing quietly moved in front of Jiang Yixiu and touched him.

Jiang Yixiu then looked at his future brother-in-law and forced a smile.

He was now so worried about his sister's safety that he couldn't smile at all.

Liu Jingxing looked at his smile which was uglier than crying, and quickly leaned over to whisper a few words.

Jiang Yixiu's expression changed, and finally he nodded affirmatively.

At this time, a sharp female voice sounded again.

"Where is Brother Ping? Where is my Brother Ping?"

A woman with red eyes and a slightly crazy look suddenly flashed over and grabbed Yunxi who was about to help Jiang Xinghui up.

It was Du Ping's mother, Mrs. Du. She knew that Du Ping and Yun Xi had a plan today, but now not only Jiang Yueshu was missing, but even her son was missing.

She only has this one precious son!

Yunxi was shocked to realize that her nephew was indeed not there. If according to Huier's words, Jiang Yueshu had died in the lake, then where was Ping'er? She looked at Hong Luo on the side in confusion.

Hong Luo's face turned pale. She saw with her own eyes that Master Du was dragging a figure forward. The two seemed to have an argument and pushed each other several times, and then they separated.

Then, one of the girls was rescued by Master Lu. When she saw the identity of the girl, she no longer paid attention to Master Du.

She subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xinghui who was sitting on the ground, opened her mouth, but suddenly met Jiang Xinghui's eyes which seemed concerned but actually contained a warning.

She shuddered all over and felt a chill instantly.

"Madam, Master Du went into the water to rescue the Second Miss. I don't know what happened."

The exchange of glances between the three of them was clearly seen by Mrs. Du, who had been paying close attention. She immediately let go of Yunxi and pounced on the girl.

"Hui'er, where is your cousin? Did you see him?"

Mrs. Du was so strong that she pressed Jiang Xinghui so hard that she couldn't move. Her face turned pale and tears started to flow in a second.

"Aunt, Hui'er doesn't know either. I think he went to rescue his sister."

Go ahead and ask, keep asking. It’s been so long and Du Ping is injured. She doesn’t believe he can hold on until now.

Mrs. Du stared at her as if she didn't hear anything and asked again and again.

All of this was arranged by them. Jiang Yueshu died, so what? How could they joke with Ping Ge'er's life?

Why should Jiang Xinghui still be alive while her Ping Ge'er has to suffer!

The next moment, screams rang out among the crowd.

"Ah! There's blood!"

"There's blood in the lake!"

Jiang Xinghui looked over instantly and saw the red spot on the water with a complicated look in his eyes.

Almost everyone on the shore looked over, and the servants in the mansion immediately jumped into the water and salvaged along the blood trail.

The servant was carrying Du Ping and swimming towards the shore. Mrs. Du saw it and rushed over immediately, hugging the unconscious man and crying.

The doctor who had been standing by stepped forward immediately, took Du Ping's pulse and made a diagnosis. He pressed Du Ping's chest and abdomen hard. Fortunately, the water he choked on was not too much, so he quickly vomited out a lot of it.

The doctor then followed the blood trail and discovered a large scratch on the back of the neck. The edge of the wound had turned white due to soaking and blood was still oozing out.

When everyone saw Du Ping's injuries, their eyes changed instantly. Some sharp-eyed people looked back and forth between him and Jiang Xinghui.

Jiang Xinghui, who had been paying attention to this scene, moved her hand under her cloak and moved the hairpin she had been holding inward. She took a calm look at Du Ping's wound.

Fortunately, because of soaking in the lake, the wound was contaminated with a lot of impurities, and it was not obvious whether it was caused by a sharp weapon or a hard object in the lake.

The doctor's forehead was covered with sweat before he finally treated Du Ping's injuries.

However, because his body was drained by alcohol and sex, and he had just choked and suffered several injuries, Du Ping did not wake up.

On the other side, Jiang Yueshu had already changed her clothes and was waiting for her father and brother to bring people over.

She wanted to take this opportunity to tie Jiang Xinghui and Du Ping together, so that there would be a good show to watch.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhao's appearance was definitely beyond her expectations.

However, thinking of the news brought by Chunyu and her people, she felt that this was not a bad thing.
