The lake water in late autumn is already freezing cold.

After shivering a few times, Li Qingluo gritted his teeth and swam quickly towards Princess Nanping.

Immediately afterwards, there was a "splash" sound of water behind him. It was the Zhuang family's maid who finally heard the sound and came over.

However, Li Qingluo took the lead and rescued Princess Nanping who was about to sink.

She didn't have time to look at the other person's face, so she pulled him and quickly turned around to swim back.

The women who were watching the excitement on the shore held their breath and stared at them closely.

Until the maids swam over and took the unconscious Princess Nanping from Li Qingluo's hands, she was naturally helped to swim ashore.

"girl!"

Que'er rushed over and put the cloak on her.

Que'er hugged Li Qingluo distressedly: "Miss, why don't you let me go..."

Li Qingluo shook his head and whispered, "It's okay. As long as we can save the person, that's all that matters."

Pei Nanjia also led people running over, "You, are you okay?"

The shock in her eyes hadn't faded yet, and she was thinking the same thing as everyone else: How could she be so bold and daring!? And there were definitely fewer than five women in Jinling who could swim so well and so fast! She was truly a remarkable person!

Pei Nanjia looked at Li Qingluo with some admiration at this moment.

Before Li Qingluo could answer her, Mrs. Pei, who had rushed over after hearing the news, ordered her to wrap him up in two more layers and quickly take him away.

Li Qingluo changed her clothes.

When she went out, she didn't expect this to happen, and she had no experience attending such a banquet, so she didn't even bring a change of clothes.

Pei Nanjia heard about it and gave her the set he had with him.

Fortunately, the two of them had similar body shapes, so the outfit fit Li Qingluo quite well.

But the color of the clothes was a bright pink that Li Qingluo had never worn before.

After changing into clean clothes, Li Qingluo wiped his hair and came out.

Mrs. Pei and the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyi were sitting in the small hall waiting for her. When she saw her come out, Mrs. Pei said, "Look at her! I originally brought her to attend your birthday banquet today, and I also wanted her to see the world. And here she is, running to your house to save you!"

"I finally persuaded her to dress herself up today, but she ended up looking so miserable!"

"However, she also has good intentions. Don't misunderstand that she is reckless. She doesn't mean to show off in your house."

Li Qingluo blushed and walked over to greet the two old ladies. "Luo'er greets Grandmother and Old Madam. Old Madam, please forgive my reckless behavior today."

The old lady of Marquis Zhongyi looked at her with a smile on her face.

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't listen to your grandmother's nonsense. Your brave act today has greatly helped our Zhongyi Marquis Mansion. Do you know who you saved?"

Li Qingluo: "Madam, I heard that the person I saved seemed to be Princess Nanping."

The old lady of Marquis Zhongyi's eyes flashed.

Does she know?

So does she have some ulterior motive, or does she truly have good intentions?

Seeing the look in her sister's eyes, Madam Pei immediately patted her and said, "Let me tell you, my Luo'er is a very honest girl. She always says what she is wrong is wrong and what she is right is right. She never tells lies."

"You don't know. Sometimes when I see her make a mistake, I want to forgive her, but she is so honest and straightforward that she tells me everything."

"If she had been able to be a bit more cunning, wouldn't she have won over her parents' hearts by now?"

The wife of the Marquis of Zhongyi then laughed out loud: "What's wrong with that? People in our family are all honest and upright, and we never get along with those who are good at scheming!"

Li Qingluo: "..."

Madam, you are really good at telling lies with your eyes open.

Everyone in Jinling City knows that you get along very well with the old lady of the Qu family, and Zhuang Wei is deeply in love with Li Qingzhu.

The old lady of the Marquis of Zhongyi suddenly sighed. "Princess Nanping is the youngest daughter of Lady Xiyue. Like you, she has only recently returned to Jinling. If anything happens to her in my Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion today, I'm afraid the Marquis of Zhongyi will be held responsible and held accountable endlessly by the Lord!"

Although the maids would jump in to save people, if Li Qingluo hadn't gone in first to rescue them, it would be hard to say what would have happened to Princess Nanping.

The Marquis Zhongyi’s Mansion will naturally remember this favor.

The old lady asked Li Qingluo what she wanted.

Li Qingluo: "Madam, I wish you and Grandmother good health and longevity, and a life without worries for a hundred years."

Even the two old ladies had not expected this.

They laughed joyfully together. Lady Zhongyi wiped the tears from her eyes and called Li Qingluo closer: "Good boy, come here, let me take a closer look."

"I see you look even better in this brightly colored outfit. Look at your face. You really do have some of your grandmother's charm when she was young."

Li Qingluo walked over and let the old lady of Marquis Zhongyi lead her.

An emerald green bracelet moved down to her wrist.

Li Qingluo looked at his grandmother flattered.

Madam Pei: "A gift from an elder cannot be refused. Since it is given to you by the old lady, just take it."

Li Qingluo: "Yes, Luo'er thanks the old lady for her kindness."

The old lady of the Marquis of Zhongyi was very pleased with her indifference to praise or criticism. She patted her hands and said, "Good child, your grandmother and I came here just to see you. There's some hot soup over there. Go and have a few sips, or you'll catch a cold when you get home."

"As for you saving Princess Nanping, I will never forget it. If you need anything in the future, just ask me. Just treat me as your own grandmother, okay?"

The eyes of the old lady of the Marquis of Zhongyi were filled with kindness and gentleness. Li Qingluo lowered herself and said, "Yes, old lady."

After seeing the two off, Li Qingluo picked up the hot soup and drank it slowly.

Que'er came over and said, "Miss, the old lady and the others went to the courtyard to settle Princess Nanping. I heard that Princess Nanping has woken up."

Li Qingluo slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

In her previous life, although she was not brought to the birthday party of the old lady of the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion, she later heard some major events that happened in the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion that day.

The first thing was that Princess Nanping fell into the water and almost died!

I heard that although she was rescued, she was in a coma for seven days due to high fever because the rescue was not timely.

After waking up, the person became a little stupid.
