Seeing that the two were enjoying sea fishing, Jiang Nianwei didn't want to stay here any longer.

Duan Yun was an upright person. Seeing that he simply wanted to teach his little sister how to fish in the sea, she found an excuse:

"The sun is too blazing here. I'll go back to the house to take shelter. When you catch the lobster, I'll ask Aunt Liu to show off her cooking skills and cook some delicious dishes for us."

Jiang Siyu was confident, "Don't worry, sister."

Suddenly she felt the hook move, and she shouted excitedly, "Look at this movement, there must be a lobster on the hook!"

It seems that she has adapted well to life here. Although her parents did not have strict expectations of her during her time in the capital, as the daughter of the Imperial Censor, she was always like a canary in a cage, under the watchful eyes of everyone, and had to be careful with everything she said and did.

And here, we can finally get rid of all those red tapes and play freely without any restrictions.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but feel a little happier.

After returning home, she spread out the paper roll, picked up the paintbrush, drew a design, and asked Yunniang to help cut it.

She looked at the unique cut and strange shape and couldn't help asking, "Girl, what style is this? I've never seen it before."

Jiang Nianwei smiled gently and explained, "This is a swimsuit. Look at the cut. It's all designed to reduce the resistance of the water when the body swims in the water, making it smoother and more comfortable."

Fearing that they would not be able to accept modern styles, Jiang Nianwei deliberately designed it to be more conservative and added some elements that women like as embellishments.

Yunniang agreed, "This swimsuit is really uniquely designed. Don't worry, young lady. I will make it for you in a few days."

"Okay, thank you, Yunniang."

Jiang Nianwei glanced out the window casually.

I saw several respected elders in the village sitting under the shade of a tree with her father Jiang Yan, talking in low voices.

Although their voices were low, Jiang Nianwei had excellent hearing and could vaguely catch fragments of their conversation.

It turned out that after the death of Village Chief Ge, the village lost its backbone. Seeing that Jiang Yan was knowledgeable and had a high reputation, several elderly people hoped that he could manage the village affairs on their behalf.

Jiang Yan tried to refuse, but several elders tried to persuade him earnestly.

Thinking about the death of Village Chief Ge, he felt that it had something to do with himself, and that he was also responsible for dragging the fishing village into this trouble.

Jiang Yan finally agreed and managed the village affairs well.

When Jiang Siyu returned from sea fishing, she had a full load, including five or six large lobsters and several unknown colorful sea fish.

Jiang Siyu shouted expectantly: "Today we can enjoy a feast again!"

Nanny Liu took the lobster, cleaned it, and prepared to use part of it to make garlic lobster, and the other part to make nourishing lobster porridge.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Jiang Siyu quietly pulled Jiang Nianwei aside, took out a few pieces of porcelain fragments from her sleeve, and whispered, "Sister, look at these fragments. The glaze is azure blue, so they should be top-grade Ru kiln porcelain. It's really rare that they appeared in that sea."

Jiang Nianwei took it and examined it carefully. It was indeed a piece of top-quality porcelain, which reminded her of the treasures in the cargo ship.

Could it be that the treasure that group of people were looking for was not on Xizhou Island, but rather near Nanzhou Island?

But this matter must not be known to other people, otherwise it will definitely bring disaster.

Jiang Nianwei asked cautiously, "Have you ever told anyone about this?"

Jiang Siyu shook her head repeatedly. "No, even Duan Yun didn't know that this was a fragment of Ru kiln porcelain. I just thought it was strange, so I wanted to bring it back for you to see."

"Well, don't tell anyone about this, don't let anyone know, especially not my parents."

Once the news leaked, it would bring endless troubles and dangers, and she didn't want her family to be involved in this mess.

When there was no one around, she would go and investigate.

Although Jiang Siyu didn't understand why, she still responded solemnly: "Sister, I will listen to you and never tell anyone."

It was still early, so Jiang Nianwei took advantage of her family's deep sleep and quietly headed for the sea area.

The sky was slightly bright, and the first rays of sunlight covered the sea surface, and the clear sea water was floating.

She took off her shoes and socks and walked barefoot on the fine sand. Seeing that there was no one around, she took off her outer clothes, leaving only her underwear, and slowly walked into the sea, letting the cool sea water soak her whole body.

The water was a little deeper than she had expected, but she had learned how to dive and could hold her breath for more than sixty seconds. Jiang Nianwei took a deep breath and was about to dive into the sea when she felt someone holding her hand.

"Sanniang, what's the matter that you are worried about? Why do you want to commit suicide?"

Jiang Nianwei only felt that she was instantly pulled out of the water. The sudden pull made her lose her balance instantly. Her feet were unstable and she sank again, choking on several mouthfuls of sea water.

Ah Zhao quickly dived into the sea, pulled her into his arms, put his arms around her waist, held her in his arms, and moved to the shore.

Jiang Nianwei was coughing violently. She was about to dive into the sea, but Ah Zhao disrupted everything.

When Ah Zhao's eyes fell on Jiang Nianwei's wet underwear, he instantly became a little embarrassed.

He quickly turned his head away to avoid looking directly at her exposed curves, his voice carrying a hint of unnatural tension:

"If you have any difficulties or things that bother you, I can help you, but you must not commit suicide. You still have parents and siblings who care about you..."

Jiang Nianwei felt annoyed. She frowned and asked angrily, "Why are you here so early in the morning?"

Ah Zhao couldn't sleep at night. The memories in his mind were confused, but he couldn't see what was going on. He tossed and turned, then quietly got up and prepared to practice martial arts.

I accidentally saw Jiang Nianwei appearing on an empty path early in the morning. Driven by curiosity, I followed her involuntarily.

But I saw her slowly walking into the water, and I became anxious, thinking that she was going to commit suicide.

"I just happened to be passing by here."

He changed his usual playful and smiling appearance and said solemnly, "Sanniang, I'm sorry. I was really anxious to save you just now, so I accidentally offended you. I definitely didn't mean to be frivolous with you."

The clothes of both of them were soaked by the cold sea water and stuck tightly to their bodies. To make matters worse, Jiang Nianwei's clothes that had been placed on the shore had been swept away by the waves.

Jiang Nianwei looked at the clothes that were gradually moving away from her, feeling helpless, "I'm not trying to commit suicide, you misunderstood me."

She sighed deeply and ordered, "Take off your clothes!"

When Ah Zhao heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he understood what she meant. He silently took off his wet black clothes, revealing his strong muscles.

He took off his clothes and put them aside, "Put them on first... Sanniang, I will be responsible."

Jiang Nianwei muttered to herself, "Responsible, of course I want you to be responsible."

She underestimated the strength of the waves here, which would have been difficult for one person to handle. Since A Zhao was already standing here, she asked him to help her.

She came out in a hurry and didn't bring any tools, so she tore the clothes handed to her by Ah Zhao into long strips, tied them together and tied them into a rope.

One end of the rope was tied tightly around her waist, and the other end was held by A Zhao.

Ah Zhao held the rope, wondering what she was going to do, "What is this for?"

Jiang Nianwei explained seriously: "I want to go into the sea to look for something, not to commit suicide. You hold the rope, and if anything unexpected happens, pull me up in time."

Jiang Nianwei took a deep breath and dived into the sea. This time she was safer than the last time.

She saw the water plants intertwined and sea fish passing by her.

Finally, I dived to a reef and saw some porcelain fragments. Under the rock, there was a huge box that could not be salvaged for the time being.

She fumbled with the walnut around her neck and put the box into the space.

She lowered her head and pulled at her waist, and Ah Zhao quickly exerted force to pull Jiang Nianwei out of the sea.

After coming out of the sea, she lay on the beach gasping for breath, her chest heaving rapidly. Thinking about what had just happened, she almost reached the limit of holding her breath. But this sea area really did hide good things, so the trip was worthwhile.

Ah Zhao didn't dare to look directly at her disheveled appearance, and said in a slightly dry voice, "I'll find a way to send you back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of Jiang Siyu and another person talking could be heard not far away.

Jiang Siyu yawned and said unhappily, "You woke me up so early in the morning, but I'm still asleep!"

Another person replied: "Yesterday you were still complaining about not having enough to eat. Early morning is when lobsters are most active. If you want to satisfy your appetite, you have to pay a price."

Jiang Nianwei's heart suddenly trembled, "Oh no."

She stayed with Ah Zhao, wearing only a wet undergarment, while Ah Zhao was topless.

Just because she doesn't care doesn't mean others don't care.

How could I explain this to my younger sister if she saw me? I looked around the beach and saw that there was nowhere to hide.

She lowered her voice nervously and asked anxiously: "Someone is coming this way, what should we do?"

Jiang Nianwei could hear the footsteps getting closer, and Ah Zhao quickly and gently lifted her up in the air.

"I'm sorry." He apologized softly, then held her in his arms and jumped into the sparkling sea with her.

The two figures disappeared in the sea in an instant, leaving only circles of ripples.

Jiang Siyu heard a "thump" and turned around to ask, "Duan Yun, did you hear any sound?"

Duan Yun explained calmly: "This is at the seaside, isn't the sound of waves normal? This is the sound of waves hitting the rocks."

Jiang Siyu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Ah Zhao took Jiang Nianwei's hand and swam quickly to the other side.

It didn't emerge from the sea until it was out of the sight of the two men.

The two hid behind the reef, and Ah Zhao could only look towards the sea.

Jiang Nianwei thought of Ah Zhao's current miserable appearance, and caught a glimpse of a few strands of emerald green seaweed hanging on his head, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"You can still laugh. If they see how close we are at this moment, I'm afraid that even jumping into the deep sea won't be able to wash away this inexplicable stigma."

Jiang Nianwei brushed away her wet hair and said calmly, "It's okay. I'm already married. Reputation is nothing to me. I just don't want Siyu to see it. I'm afraid she'll misunderstand and go back and tell her parents. But you haven't married yet. I'm really embarrassed to flirt with you."

Ah Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but her face turned red unconsciously, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

He had the illusion that someone was taking advantage of him, as if he was in the disadvantaged position of the two men.

Jiang Nianwei still remembered that at the critical moment just now, she seemed to have been wrapping her arms around his solid waist, and seemed to have touched his abdominal muscles. Anyway, she did not suffer any loss this time.

Ah Zhao's brows revealed a bit of helplessness, and he sighed softly: "Sanniang, you are really strange. If an ordinary woman encountered such a situation, she would definitely cry and ask for an explanation and responsibility. Why are you so calm?"

Jiang Nianwei smiled carefreely, "If I have to cater to other people's opinions all the time and care about their comments, then wouldn't I be living like a bound bird, losing my freedom and happiness? It's an imposed bondage, like a forced melon, it's not sweet after all, so I might as well let it go."

If he had been a little attracted to Jiang Nianwei, the more he got to know her, the more Ah Zhao felt he couldn't see through her.

It was this misty quality that constantly attracted him, wanting to understand her heart and see the real Jiang Nianwei.

He was really willing to take responsibility, thinking that if the two of them could stay together here for the rest of their lives, the lost memories seemed to no longer be important.

Jiang Nianwei only felt unbearable pain in her legs. Perhaps it was because she had been soaking in the cold sea for too long today and her legs were cramping.

Just as he was about to get up, he stumbled and almost fell again.

Ah Zhao was quick-witted and quick-handed. He quickly stretched out his arms, supported Jiang Nianwei's body which was about to fall, and held her in his arms.

But they fell onto the beach together, A Zhao's hands tightly around her waist, their breaths intertwined in the sea, forming an indescribable ambiguity.

Ah Zhao quickly propped up his body, with his well-defined abdominal muscles just inches away from Jiang Nianwei. With a slight movement, he could touch his face.

Unexpectedly, at this moment a woman with a child passed by here. Seeing the two people in such a miserable state, she stood there in amazement.

Jiang Nianwei held her forehead helplessly and sighed inwardly. She thought she had avoided Jiang Siyu and Duan Yun, but she didn't expect to be discovered by others.

Ah Zhao reacted quickly and stood in front of Jiang Nianwei, trying to block the woman's sight.

But to outsiders, this move seemed more like a cover-up for the two people's "affair" here, which only strengthened the woman's speculation.

In this case, she calmly stuck her head out and asked, "Big sister, my clothes were unfortunately washed away by the waves. Can you lend me something to cover my body?"

……

At this moment, Jiang Nianwei was kneeling in front of Jiang Yan and Jing Qiudie. This was the first time in all these years that she saw her father staring at her with such eyes, which made her feel scared.

In Jiang Yan's sight, Ah Zhao still remained kneeling. His back had already endured several fierce blows from Jiang Lanxu. He said nothing and endured it all silently.

Although Jiang Yan's thinking was advanced, he was not yet open-minded enough. When he heard that his daughter was entangled with a man in dishevel, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

"Nianwei, you...how could you do such a thing in broad daylight?"
