Happy Spring Every Year

Chapter 37 Jumping into the Lake

Shen Jiasui's whole body was so weak that he couldn't withstand Zhao Huaizhen's push and he retreated repeatedly.

"careful!"

Cui Mingjue let out a low cry and stepped forward in time.

He was also very sensible and just opened his palm to support Shen Jiasui's back.

Shen Jiasui immediately used the force to stand firm, and Cui Mingjue withdrew his hand.

"Miss Shen, what's going on?"

He had been standing behind Shen Jiasui, and only saw her face at this moment. He instantly realized that something was wrong and his expression changed.

Not to mention the obvious bloodstains at the corner of Shen Jiasui's mouth, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were blurred. Where was the clear-headed and upright spirit she had when they last met in the Imperial College?

Shen Jiasui opened her red lips slightly, her breath was hot and disordered, and when she heard a male voice behind her ears, her whole body couldn't help but shudder.

She turned her head and saw that it was Cui Mingjue. She was so scared that she raised her hand and pushed him hard, and she stepped back repeatedly.

"do not come!"

Cui Mingjue was caught off guard and was pushed back a step. When he looked up again, his eyes were full of surprise.

The Cui family is a big family. At his age now, how could he not know the secrets of the inner house?

Shen Jiasui looked like he had been... drugged!

He had just been in the attic across the lake and had seen all of Shen Jiansui's actions, so at this moment, he looked towards the pavilion first.

Is that the pot of water?

At this moment, Shen Jiasui only felt that his heartbeat was extremely clear, and it seemed to ring in his ears again and again.

Her consciousness began to become confused, and all kinds of beautiful images even appeared in her mind involuntarily.

That was the "Su Nu Jing" that her mother gave her before she got married. She read it all in one breath with shyness and curiosity.

Cui Mingjue withdrew his gaze from the pavilion and looked at Shen Jiasui again. A strange look suddenly flashed across his face, which was originally filled with worry.

His family is looking for a suitable wife for him.

He has no say in his marriage, so his grandfather and cousin must have already considered it.

Shen Jiasui had been engaged to Lu Yunzheng but broke off the engagement, so he was definitely not considered by his grandfather and cousin.

If he went forward at this moment, Shen Jiasui would have lost his mind, and if the two of them crossed the line in public, they would be tied together.

If he has to get married, he doesn't mind Shen Jiasui...right?

This thought only flashed through Cui Mingjue's mind, and he himself was startled.

Everyone had never encountered such a scene before, and they looked at each other in confusion. Some of the smart people had some guesses in their minds, but they didn't dare to step forward to get involved.

Cui Mingjue's mind was in turmoil. Finally, he sighed slightly, walked to Zhao Huaizhen's side, and said in a low voice:

"My Lady, Miss Shen looks like she's been poisoned by a foul drug. After all, she is the legitimate daughter of General Dingguo's mansion. If today's incident becomes a big deal, I'm afraid it will be disgraceful for Prince Rong's mansion."

Zhao Huaizhen's eyes widened when he heard this. "What did you say?"

Prince Rong has few concubines, and his wife has a stable status, so the palace's backyard has always been peaceful.

Moreover, Zhao Huaizhen was the apple of her eye and had always been carefully protected. She had never seen such a thing as dirty medicine.

"My Lady, please take her away quickly. If Miss Shen loses her composure today, I'm sure General Dingguo will not let it go."

Seeing that Zhao Huaizhen had not responded yet, Cui Mingjue frowned and urged him.

Zhao Huaizhen knew the seriousness of the matter very well, so he quickly walked up to Shen Jiasui.

"Shen Jiasui, how are you? I'll take you away first!"

At this moment, Zhao Huaizhen couldn't help but feel wronged in his heart.

No wonder Shen Jiasui asked her if she had done anything to the water. It turned out that she had been drugged.

But she knew nothing. How could a princess like her use such despicable means!

A sound that came and went rang in her ears. Shen Jiasui slowly came back to her senses. She saw double in front of her eyes and vaguely saw that it was Zhao Huaizhen holding her arm.

Shen Jiasui shook her head. This foul drug was very powerful. Every inch of her skin was clamoring for desire, and she could not even bear the touch of a woman.

Too late...

"Shen——"

Zhao Huaizhen was about to pull Shen Jiasui away, but she suddenly broke free from him and stumbled forward, heading in the direction of...

"what!"

Amid the crowd's cries of shock,

thump--

Shen Jiasui jumped into the lake without hesitation.

"Hurry, help! Help!"

Zhao Huaizhen was stunned at first, but then he reacted, his heart beating in his throat, and he hurried over.

The surroundings were in chaos.

Cui Mingjue clenched his fist and followed.

At this moment, someone grabbed him from behind.

"Mingjue, I'm going. If you go down, Shen Jiasui will rely on you!"

"Let go!"

Cui Mingjue shouted coldly, shook off the man's hand, and rushed over again.

Zhao Huaizhen had already reached the shore. Her heart was beating like a drum, and she bent forward.

Cui Mingjue caught up and was about to jump in to save the person, but at this moment——

"call--"

A person suddenly emerged from the lake. Who else could it be but Shen Jiasui?

The cool lake water greatly relieved the heat in his body, and Shen Jiasui finally regained his sanity.

She raised her hand to push away the wet hair that was blocking her face, and at a glance she saw Zhao Huaizhen, who was pale on the shore, and Cui Mingjue who was standing there.

"I can swim, no problem."

Shen Jiasui shouted, paddling in the lake with his hands, with only his head visible above the water.

When Zhao Huaizhen saw this, he patted his chest repeatedly and finally let out a long sigh.

Cui Mingjue slowly stood up, his face calm, and there was no sign of him having any intention of jumping into the water to save people.

Shen Jiasui knew that using lake water to suppress the heat was only a temporary solution, and that this foul drug needed to be completely removed from the body with medicine.

She wiped her face and shouted to Zhao Huaizhen, "Please, my lady, persuade everyone to leave so that I can come ashore."

Zhao Huaizhen had calmed down by now. She nodded, turned around and said to everyone seriously:

"Everyone, go somewhere else. Don't spread what happened today."

Before everyone had time to withdraw, they dared not stay to watch the fun, so they all bowed and left.

Cui Mingjue glanced at Shen Jiasui, then turned around and left with the young men.

"Everyone go."

He waved his hand and everyone responded.

In a short while, the place was cleared.

Shen Jiasui turned his head and looked around, confirming that there was no one around, then swam to the shore.

She now sees things clearly. She doesn't care about reputation, but reputation can indeed ruin a person.

If others saw her wet body today, it would be trouble again.

At this time, a maid came running over in a hurry, holding a cloak in her hand.

Zhao Huaizhen gave this instruction just after he came to his senses, and it came at the right time.

As soon as Shen Jiasui climbed up, Zhao Huaizhen shook off his cloak and immediately wrapped Shen Jiasui tightly.

"Let's go change clothes first."

Zhao Huaizhen pulled Shen Jiasui over and walked hurriedly.

When the two of them reached the fork in the road, they saw Zhao Huaizhen leading them to the road on the left. Shen Jiasui was alert and immediately waved his hand.

"Princess, the changing courtyard doesn't seem to be here, right?"

When they were walking towards the west courtyard just now, the little maid who led the way gave her a brief introduction to the various destinations, and she still remembered it.

Zhao Huaizhen saw that Shen Jiasui looked alert and obviously suspected her, and her face turned red with anxiety.

"Would I harm you? That's the guest changing area, there are too many people around. I'll take you to the inner courtyard."
