Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Zuo Youran was originally staying in the warm room with Wen Linglong, but a maid came and said that Qin Yimo was looking for her.

She thought that she just happened to have something to ask Qin Yimo, so she followed the man without thinking much.

However, something seemed to be wrong.

The maid did not take her to the plum garden, but instead took her to the backyard of Cui's house.

When passing by the artificial lake, she slipped and fell into the lake.

When the girl leading the way heard the noise, she didn't stop but quickened her pace and ran forward, soon disappearing out of sight.

Zuo Youran's personal maid Xue Dong was so frightened that she was at a loss what to do. She could only yell at the top of her lungs, "Help, help!"

But after shouting for a long time, no one came.

And the noises of Zuo Youran's splashing in the water became quieter and quieter.

Dongxue was so anxious that tears were streaming down her face. Just as she was about to risk her life by jumping into the water, a green figure ran over and jumped into the lake.

After a while, Zuo Youran was pulled up.

Dongxue burst into tears, "County Lady, are you okay?"

Zuo Youran's teeth chattered from the cold, "It's so cold, I'm so cold."

Dongxue quickly took off her thick fur coat, put it on Zuo Youran and wrapped him tightly.

"Are you feeling better, Lady?"

Zuo Youran sneezed loudly, but still felt not warm enough.

What was even more terrible was that there was some noise coming from the path they came from, and it seemed that a lot of people were approaching this side.

Dongxue cried anxiously, "What should I do? You must not be seen like this, or your reputation will be ruined."

Zuo Youran secretly hated herself for being too careless and falling into someone else's trap.

But she didn't want her reputation to be ruined, and she didn't want it to be ruined on Cui's territory.

"Help me up," Zuo Youran gritted her teeth. As long as she could leave here before those people arrived, she would still have a glimmer of hope.

Dongxue agreed.

But all of Zuo Youran's clothes were soaked by the lake water, and the weight suddenly doubled, so Dongxue couldn't support her at all.

If I take off my clothes here, I will be handing my control to the person who comes.

Just when the master and servant were at a loss, a clear voice came from the side, "My yard is not far from here. If you don't mind, you can go to my yard first to take shelter."

Zuo Youran then remembered that he had just been rescued by someone.

And her savior was standing next to her at this moment.

She quickly looked at the man who was also soaking wet, "What's your name, sir?"

"My name is Cui Ming, and I am the seventh in the family."

"Thank you for saving my life, Master Seventh. If I can avoid the disaster today, I will definitely repay you with all my strength."

"I accidentally saw someone carrying oil passing by here earlier. I'm afraid someone did it on purpose for you to fall into the water. What if they have a backup plan... Let's get out of here quickly."

Zuo Youran resolutely decided to go with Cui Ming because there was no other way out left for her.

Fortunately, Cui Ming was very familiar with the area and took them on a shortcut with fewer people and a shorter distance.

Soon we arrived at Cui Ming's residence.

Just standing in the gray courtyard, Zuo Youran was a little dumbfounded.

"Are you sure you are the young master of the mansion, and not a servant?"

These two shabby huts are not even as good as the servants' rooms in the princess's mansion.

Cui Ming's eyes darkened, and he explained in a low voice, "I am a concubine's son, so I can't compare to my elder brothers."

Even though Zuo Youran was usually careless, he knew that his words had touched someone's sore spot.

She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't dislike your yard, I just didn't expect the Cui family to have such a run-down place."

"But don't worry, you saved my life, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. You can think about what kind of reward you want first. When I return to the princess's mansion, I can send it to you, whether it is a house or money."

Cui Ming shook his head. "Saving you is just a piece of cake. I don't need any reward."

Worried that Zuo Youran would insist, he pointed to the room on the left and said, "That room is where my mother used to live. There are old clothes in the cabinet in the corner. If you don't mind, change your wet clothes first. I'll go light the charcoal pot for you."

"Thank you, but you should change your clothes first."

Cui Ming smiled shyly and replied, "Okay!"

Here, Cui Linlang led Qin Yimo and hurried over, followed by many young men and women.

The lake seemed calm, but the shore was covered with water stains.

Cui Linlang stomped her feet in anger.

How could I let that little bitch get away?

But he still said to Qin Yimo with a worried look on his face, "There are a lot of water stains here, which must have been left by the county lady. I don't know how she got up here, and whether she was injured..."

Without waiting for Qin Yimo's response, he instructed the young masters and ladies behind him, "Everyone, please help look for her. It's freezing cold, so don't let Princess Youran get frozen."

Some people were puzzled, "Why would Princess Youran come to the lake?"

"That's right, I can't be mistaken, I saw Princess Youran following behind Princess Heng before."

"Is there someone else?"

"I also don't think it was Princess Youran. She is always surrounded by many people, so it's unlikely that she fell into the water alone."

But some people also whispered, "If you fall into the water in such a cold weather, your clothes will get soaked."

"If someone sees this, can Princess Youran still marry into the Qin family?"

"Who knows? I heard that Young Master Qin didn't want to marry her. If she really loses face, the Qin family will definitely cancel the engagement, right?"

"I don't know how County Lady Youran offended Miss Cui, and it caused such a big fuss."

Cui Linlang had sharp ears, and her expression froze for a moment when she heard these last words, but soon returned to normal.

She said to Qin Yimo tenderly, "Brother Qin, don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to embarrass the county lady. It's just that the incident happened in the Cui family after all. It's good that the county lady is fine. If the county lady has any mishap, Linlang and the Cui family will be held responsible."

Qin Yimo frowned. In fact, he didn't care whether Zuo Youran was injured or not, but after all, she was now the future daughter-in-law of the Qin family.

No matter what the cause of the accident, we must ensure Zuo Youran's safety.

So he agreed with Cui Linlang's words, "Miss Cui is right."

Cui Linlang was secretly proud of herself.

"Then please hurry up and look around. If you find County Lady Youran, we will reward you handsomely."

As soon as these words were spoken, the young men and women who had followed were ready to disperse and search.

"Ms. Cui!"

A cold voice came from afar.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several figures walking on the path, led by the tall Meng Yunshang.

"Sister Princess!" Cui Linlang came forward happily.

Meng Yunshang stopped and asked calmly, "I wonder what everyone is looking for?"

"We are looking for Princess Youran. We heard that she fell into the water. We are worried that something happened to her and want to find her as soon as possible."

Meng Yunshang was puzzled, "But the county lady and Wen Linglong have been in the warm room. When did they come to the lake?"

"what?"

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
