After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Xu Cui Rongrong reacted quickly. She lightly hooked her slender jade fingers and pulled out a thin silver needle from the hidden place at her waist. A look of determination flashed in her eyes, and she inserted it deeply into the man's fat palm without hesitation.

The man was caught off guard and let out a cry of pain. He instinctively loosened his grip on her. Before he could come to his senses, Cui Rongrong had already kicked him accurately, using the force to push him away. Then she turned her body, like a nimble fish, drawing a graceful and decisive arc on the water and paddling hard towards the shore.

The servant intended to chase after her again, but found that his right hand, which had been stabbed, had become numb and his strength had greatly decreased. He could only watch Xu Cui Rongrong's figure gradually move away and disappear in the misty water fog.

At the lakeside, Cui Yunhe witnessed this series of events, frowning and looking increasingly gloomy. "What on earth is going on! She is actually proficient in water? As the head of the family servants, can Wang Fugui just sit back and wait for food to come to him? A weak woman like Qu can't even stop it?!"

Seeing this, the maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "I really didn't know that Miss Xu Cui Rongrong had such a skill, please calm down, my master..."

Seeing that Xu and Cui Rongrong had safely reached the shore, although they were soaking wet, their expressions were firm, Cui Yunhe had to suppress the anger in his chest and gritted his teeth and endured it: "You must keep a close eye on Su Yue and never let her send clothes to Cui Rongrong. As for Wen Yueyue, have you lured her away as planned?"

"I have followed your instructions."

Cui Yunhe raised a sinister smile, and the calculation in his mind never stopped: "This is very good. Even if I can't force her to submit to the servant today, I must completely destroy her reputation and make her leave this villa in disgrace and dishevelled."

In spring, clothes are already as thin as wings, and they stick to the skin even more after getting wet, just like a second layer of skin. Through the almost transparent fabric, Cui Rong's snow-white and delicate skin can be vaguely seen, which is very imaginative.

She stood up from the icy water with difficulty. The cold wind blew past her and her whole body trembled involuntarily.

The cold water was like a sharp knife, making her limbs feel numb, her legs weak, and she could barely stand.

Looking back, Su Yue's familiar figure was nowhere to be seen. Instead, she was surrounded by some rich young men with frivolous manners and greedy eyes. They looked at her wet body openly with disgusting smiles on their faces.

Cui Rong was clear-headed and understood that there must be a carefully planned conspiracy behind today's sudden accident.

She didn't care about the embarrassment caused by the wet clothes sticking to her skin. She endured the physical discomfort and humiliation, tried to straighten her back, and leave this place of trouble alone.

Even if his reputation was damaged, the worst that could happen was that he would have to leave the Wen Mansion, which seemed prosperous but actually had undercurrents.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the noise around her, and a figure broke through the crowd and quickly came to her.

Without hesitation, the man untied his warm cloak and gently covered her shoulders with it, his movements gentle but firm.

Xu Cui Rong looked up in surprise. The person in front of her was Lin Han, the friend who was usually taciturn but always helped her at critical moments.

"Are you okay, miss?"

He asked with concern, his eyes full of sincerity and worry.

Lin Han stood outside, the breeze blowing on his face, but it failed to dispel the anxiety in his heart.

His eyes kept wandering, fixed on the winding path, and he silently hoped that he would meet Cui Rongrong unexpectedly on her way home.

He had a few words in his mind, each one burning with emotion, and he was eager to find a suitable opportunity to pour out his long-accumulated thoughts to her.

However, the peaceful atmosphere was torn apart by a sudden cry for help. The voice revealed that the person who fell into the water was actually the famous cousin of the Wen family. Lin Han's heart was suddenly struck by a heavy hammer, and waves of fear surged.

While the gatekeeper in the mansion was attracted by the sudden chaos, he did not hesitate, with a firm look in his eyes, and a flash of his body, he rushed into the forbidden area like an arrow from a bow.

Cui Rongrong stood there, her face becoming paler due to the cold air all around her, just like a touch of frost hanging on the branches in early winter.

Her body was shaky, like a fallen leaf in the wind, trying hard to stand.

Seeing this, Lin Han felt an urge to support her and stretched out his hand involuntarily, but stopped abruptly in mid-air. He was afraid that his action would offend the beauty, so he could only stop in mid-air awkwardly, with nowhere to put his hands.

Cui Rong tightly grasped her cloak. Every step she took seemed so difficult. Her voice was soft but revealed an unquestionable determination: "Let's go."

Lin Han said nothing, but just followed her steps silently, feeling mixed emotions.

Not far away, Cui Yunhe's eyes followed the two people's backs as they walked away, with annoyance and confusion flashing in her eyes: "Who is this person? How could he give her warmth and care so naturally?"

She murmured to herself, and the servant beside her continued, "Looking at his attire, he seems to be a scholar. Perhaps, he is the lover of that woman? When did he appear, and how quietly did he appear? It was really hard to guard against. This bargain was easily taken by her."

Cui Yunhe's anger was hard to calm down. She had carefully arranged the chess game, and every chess piece moved according to plan, intending to cause chaos and push Cui Rongrong into an irretrievable situation, but she never expected that the other party would be able to escape unscathed. Everything seemed like a mirage.

At the same time, the two women who fell into the water were pulled ashore by the old women. The maid who had previously suppressed Su Yue no longer insisted, and the whole incident ended in an almost absurd way.

Lin Han carefully helped Cui Rongrong get on the carriage. The wooden steps of the carriage looked particularly cold and hard in the night. Su Yue hurried over and got on the carriage breathlessly, her concern evident in her words: "Girl, are you okay?"

Cui Rong gently shook her head and lifted the carriage curtain slightly. The moonlight shone on her face, reflecting a subtle strength: "Today, it is all thanks to Master Lin's help."

Lin Han waved his hands quickly, his face full of worry: "No, no, the girl accidentally fell into the water, it's cold at night, she needs to go home and recuperate as soon as possible!"

Cui Rongrong nodded slightly and lowered the curtain again. Following the coachman's order, the carriage slowly moved forward, heading towards the unknown future. Every sound of the wheels hitting the stone road seemed to be telling an unfinished story.

Every bump in the carriage seemed to increase the dullness inside. Cui Rong's face froze in the darkness, as cold as the night outside the window.

"Girl, this was clearly premeditated. Everyone in the pavilion, including me, was used as a pawn. The elaborate scheme was only designed to create chaos and push you into the whirlpool of public opinion!"

Su Yue's voice was filled with tears and her emotions were on the verge of collapse.

His eyes were as sharp as ice, and he said coldly: "Except for the mastermind behind the scenes, who else could have planned such a sinister conspiracy? Such a large-scale plot can only be done by someone with monstrous power."
