Inside the boat, Xie Guimo, Prince Duan's son Xiao Xun, and Prince Xuanyi's son Chu Yi were drinking.
Xiao Xun poured wine for Xie Guimo, "It's rare that you have time to accompany us for a boat ride and a drink."
Chu Yi smiled and said, "It's not that he doesn't have time, it's that he's not in the mood."
Chu Yi covered his face with a folding fan and whispered, "I don't know what he went through during his time away from Beijing. You don't know how stinky his face was when he first came back. I kind of suspect he was abandoned by some girl."
"...Don't ask for a fight."
Xiao Xun quietly stayed away from Chu Yi, fearing that Xie Guimo would take action and get covered in blood.
Chu Yi was really a little scared. He coughed lightly and closed his folding fan. Then he heard the maid's urgent call. Before he could react, Xie Guimo had already stood up and left. He moved so quickly that the wine glass fell over and the wine dripped along the table.
Chu Yi felt strange and was pulled up by Xiao Xun. The two went out, but they did not see Xie Guimo. Instead, they saw four people in the lake.
Chu Yi was stunned and couldn't believe it. "Brother Gui Mo actually went down to rescue people?"
Kicking someone into the lake is what the Prince of Jingyang would do, going into the lake to save someone...
Is the sun rising from the south today?
Chu Yi subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Besides, Shen Tang was pushed into the lake by Miss Li, and brought Miss Li down with him. As soon as Miss Li fell into the water, she was frightened and turned pale. She choked on the water and shouted for help.
If she hadn't exposed the Yongning Marquis's plot, Shen Tang might have believed it was an accident, but there weren't so many accidents in the world, especially since Miss Li had always looked at her with a bad eye since she was in Yanqi Lake.
Shen Tang was certain that Miss Li was taking revenge on her for ruining the Yongning Marquis's estate and was deliberately pushing her into trouble!
Shen Tang was not as panicked as Miss Li. Ever since she was pushed into the water by Princess Chun'an in her previous life, she learned to swim like a duck. However, the lake water in early spring was too cold. After falling, she subconsciously flapped her wings a few times and recovered.
Seeing that Miss Li had choked on water several times and had learned her lesson, Shen Tang prepared to rescue her. Although it was Miss Li who pushed her that brought her down, it would have been fine if she couldn't swim, but since she could, she couldn't just stand by and watch her die. Besides, there were many people on the boat who could swim and would not let Miss Li drown.
But just when Shen Tang was about to swim towards Miss Li, the eldest young master of the Wang family, who had jumped out of the boat to save someone after hearing the sound of someone falling into the water, swam towards her. There was no urgency on the young master Wang's face, but a smile of success.
Shen Tang's heart sank when he saw that look. He didn't bother to save Miss Li and turned around and swam away.
Young Master Wang was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Tang to be able to swim, and even faster than him.
The people on the boats on both sides also twitched their lips.
Two people fell into the water, and two people jumped in to save them.
The second Miss Shen doesn't need to be rescued, chase her and rescue her. The eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion can't swim and she is almost out of strength to shout for help. Why don't you share some of the energy?
When Young Master Wang saw that he could not catch up with Shen Tang, he turned around and swam towards Miss Li.
Miss Li felt that she was about to drown, and she struggled desperately. When she was about to despair, she grabbed someone's arm. The desire to survive broke out at that moment, and she wrapped the person tightly around him, making Young Master Wang unable to move. If the boatman had not reacted in time and thrown the rope over, they would both have drowned together.
After Young Master Wang and Miss Li were rescued, they threw a rope down to pull Shen Tang.
Xie Guimo was in the water, watching Shen Tang being pulled up. He laughed out of anger. Behind him, Xiao Xun shouted, "Is it fun to soak in the water?"
As Xiao Xun spoke, Chu Yi threw the rope to Xie Guimo.
He pulled with his hand, and the whole person rose from the water and landed on the deck.
Seeing that he was soaked, Xiao Xun couldn't help laughing. He patted Xie Guimo on the shoulder and said, "I think you have met your nemesis this time."
Xie Guimo entered the boat with a dark face, leaving wet footprints with every step.
Chu Yi looked at Xiao Xun strangely, "What nemesis? Are you two hiding something from me?"
Inside the boat, Xie Guimo walked over, grabbed the wine jug on the table, and poured wine into his mouth.
After taking several gulps, he put the wine jug down heavily, with such force that it almost shattered it.
Xiao Xun's shoulders were shaking from trying to hold back his laughter.
Chu Yi followed in from behind and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Shen, a lady from a wealthy family, could actually swim..."
Chen Qi brought the brocade robe over, and Xie Guimo went behind the screen to change into it.
As for Shen Tang, after being rescued onto the boat, a gust of wind blew, and it was so cold that her bones were shivering. Ginkgo took the cloak to wrap her in time and helped Shen Tang to change her skirt.
Princess Roujia had never expected that she would encounter such a bad thing on her birthday. She quickly ordered the maid, "Quickly prepare ginger soup to drive away the cold for them."
While Shen Tang was changing her skirt, she even sneezed. Then she heard someone talking, "Who did you think Prince Jingyang was trying to save when he jumped into the water just now?"
Shen Tang was stunned. She knew that two people had gone into the water to rescue someone, but she turned around as soon as she saw Young Master Wang and didn't pay attention to who the other person was. Shen Tang asked, "Who was the other one who went into the water to rescue someone...?"
Ginkgo said, "It's the Prince of Jingyang."
Shen Tang, “…???”
Xie Guimo is here too?
And go into the water to save people?
How come this person's temper suddenly became so good?
There are so many people on the boat. Doesn't he, the Prince of Jingyang, need to go into the water himself to save them?
However, Shen Tang didn't think that someone went into the water to save her. She was just glad that she could swim and didn't need to be rescued. In fact, she had to thank Prince Jingyang. If it weren't for him, she would have been rescued today. If she had been rescued in public by a man, her reputation would have been damaged, and she would most likely have to marry him.
Shen Tang changed her skirt and wrung out her hair, and then the boat docked.
After this incident, Princess Roujia was no longer in the mood to go boating. If she had known that such an accident would happen while boating, she would have stayed at home and let her mother celebrate her birthday.
Shen Tang couldn't stop sneezing. The maid brought her ginger soup, and she drank it all in one breath.
Ginkgo helped her out, and Shen Tang apologized, "I'm really sorry for disrupting the princess's birthday party."
Princess Roujia said, "I'm glad you're all okay, otherwise I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life."
She knew that Shen Tang was pushed into the water, but she didn't know whether Miss Li did it on purpose. Miss Li herself was not in a good situation either. She hugged Young Master Wang like an octopus, and so many eyes saw it. Her reputation was gone.
Miss Li was also helped out by the maid. Her eyes were red and swollen. The fear brought by the drowning had not completely disappeared. When she saw Shen Tang, she looked as if she wanted to eat Shen Tang alive.
She looked at Shen Tang like this, but Shen Tang didn't feel anything. But she also looked at Shen Xie like this, and Shen Xie was a little flustered, so there was a problem.
When getting off the boat, Ginkgo whispered to Shen Tang, "When we got on the boat earlier, Miss Li and the eldest girl were clearly talking and laughing..."
Shen Tang's eyes turned cold.
Deep down, I already knew what was going on.
