The person who fell into the water was a female member of the family, Lu Yingqin's fiancée. Most of the women present could not swim, and even if they could, they were afraid of getting their clothes wet and making a fool of themselves. The young men were also reluctant to go into the water.

Lu Yingqin was not around at the moment, and while they were hesitating, they saw a man suddenly rush up from behind and jump into the water with a splash.

Liu Fuyin had been waiting for this farce for a long time. The marriage between Lu and Meng was arranged by His Majesty, but Meng Yutang had some affection for Lu Yingqin at the beginning because of today's rescue.

I'm sorry, today's life-saving grace belongs to her.

Meng Yutang couldn't swim. Seeing that the people around her didn't move, she struggled and almost suffocated. The next moment, a beautiful girl grabbed her waist and pulled her out of the water. The desire to survive made her subconsciously hold the person tightly.

When Lu Yingqin came over, he saw his concubine carrying his fiancée out of the pool. Looking closely, he could see a wound on the woman's ankle, probably from a scratch she got while rescuing someone.

If the genders were changed, it would really be a hero saving a beauty that people in Beijing would talk about.

The weather in April was not hot, so I wore several layers of clothes. Even so, the wet clothes stuck to my body and I still felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, Meng Yutang's personal maid was smart and quickly took a cloak and put it on the two of them.

"Girl, are you okay?"

Meng Yutang was still a little dazed until she was rescued. Her body was trembling as she hugged the person's neck. It was only after she said this that he came back to his senses.

"I...thank you..." Meng Yutang felt his head heavy, and just as he said the words of thanks, his eyes went dark and he passed out.

What happened next had nothing to do with Liu Fuyin. Meng Yutang was sent to the guest room. As for Liu Fuyin, a maid, no one cared about her.

But before Lu Yingqin followed the others, he said, "Go back and change your clothes first. I will come to see you later."

This fall into the water was indeed an accident. After all, Meng Yutang was the Lu family's unmarried wife. The ceremony of coming of age was over and most of the banquet had passed, so it naturally dispersed.

Several doctors from the palace came to see her, and she was treated in time. She only choked on some water and soon woke up.

"Tang'er, you're going to scare me to death." Mrs. Meng knew that it was her daughter who fell into the water and she wanted to jump in to save her, but she didn't know how to swim and was stopped by the nanny.

"Miss Meng, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?" After all, she is the daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family, and something happened in her own family. The concern in the eldest princess' eyes cannot be fake.

Meng Yutang shook her head. "I'm fine, but my throat hurts a bit. I wonder how the girl who saved me is doing? I should thank her."

When she was rescued, she subconsciously held the other person and used some strength, and she didn't know if she hurt the girl.

Madam Meng continued, "We should thank her very much. I don't know who that girl is. If we don't thank her in person, we should at least give her some gifts."

Liu Fuyin was a concubine after all, so she didn't wear the same clothes as ordinary maids, but her plain appearance didn't make her look like a girl from a wealthy family.

"She is my concubine. It seems that she has scratched her leg. Just send a court doctor to check her out." As soon as these words fell, everyone in the room subconsciously looked at Lu Yingqin, and they were all somewhat shocked.

Most men of this age have concubines, but he could notice the woman's injuries, which showed that he was not just a concubine, and it seemed that they had a deep affection for her.

Meng Yutang's expression froze for a moment, but she soon regained her smile. "No matter who she is, she saved me, and our Meng family will thank her very much."

Meng Yutang was not a heartless person. When she fell into the water, everyone around was watching, but the girl jumped into the water without hesitation to save her. She was really grateful. Even if she was a concubine, it would be easy to deal with. After she got married, she would take the initiative to promote her to be a concubine.

On the other side, Liu Fuyin simply asked someone to boil warm water and took a bath. Dongli was helping her twist her hair.

"Miss Ayin, you still need to apply medicine to the injury on your ankle."

The wound was not small. He was scratched by the sharp stones on the side when he went up to rescue the man. Although they were slaves and had doctors in the mansion to treat them, they had to spend money to hire him.

"It's okay..."

As the two were talking, Luhua came in angrily and said, "Doctor Wang is here."

Doctor Wang is the palace physician who specializes in treating the master. The fact that he can come to see her shows that the prince has taken a fancy to her.

Who wants to be a slave forever, especially when one of them becomes the prince's concubine and will be half a master in the future? Luhua naturally wants to climb up, but the prince usually doesn't let them serve him closely, so there is no chance at all.

Doctor Wang came over right after Lu Yingqin. The woman on the couch looked a little too pale, so Lu Yingqin couldn't help but frown, "How is she?"

"My Lord, Miss Liu is in good health, but the cut is a bit big. She still needs to use some medicine. It would be bad if it gets infected."

Lu Yingqin nodded and the doctor went down to get the medicine. He took out a tube of ointment from somewhere and was about to hand it to her when he saw the woman looking at him eagerly and calling him "Prince" in a seductive voice.

As a result, he somehow grabbed the person's ankle and applied the medicine himself, which was quite gentle.

"My Lord, I can do it myself." Liu Fuyin subconsciously wanted to withdraw her foot when someone grabbed her, and her face looked unnatural. "Hiss... It hurts."

Lu Yingqin frowned, "You're still moving when it hurts?"

Liu Fuyin stopped talking, but her eyes were still glued to him, as if she wanted to see through him. This seemingly substantial gaze made the man unable to ignore it. He was silent for a moment and then raised his head, "I didn't know you had this ability, and you also learned to show off and save people."

"But she's going to sink."

The woman in front of me may not know who she is saving. She is not thinking about anything else but simply wants to save people.

Lu Yingqin didn't know why, but he suddenly wanted to reassure this simple and timid girl, so he couldn't help but say, "That's Miss Meng, my wife-to-be. She has a gentle personality, and you saved her today. When she gets married, I will make you my concubine, and I think she won't have any objections."

Liu Fuyin suddenly smiled and boldly threw herself into his arms for a hug, her eyes sparkling, "I like you, my lord. As long as I can stay by your side, I am willing to be a servant."
