The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

Chapter 170 Chongshui reaches the bottom

Miss Gu was also brought here by Mrs. Gu. Now she didn't dare to leave herself and her daughter in an unfamiliar environment. In addition, Miss Lu had just saved her daughter, so Mrs. Gu was very grateful and trusted her.

"Ms. Lu, thank you for your help just now. If it weren't for you, I don't know if my Jing'er would still be alive. I will come to thank you when I get back." Mrs. Gu walked over to thank her after seeing that she was dressed.

"Madam Gu, you're welcome. My maid and I can swim, so we only help when we see someone fall in. If it were someone else, I would have rescued them as well. I think what happened today scared Miss Gu. You should take her back and ask a doctor to take a good look at her. Don't let her catch a cold."

"Okay, I will take good care of you. Don't worry, Miss Gu. Our family will remember your great kindness." Her eyes were full of gratitude.

When the few people came out, they found that there were a lot of people gathered here, even the prince consort and the officials over there came over. They all found their families and learned what had happened.

"Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu, Miss Lu, we apologize for our poor hospitality today. The imperial physician has arrived. Please go and see the doctor first. We will cover all the expenses. We are truly sorry for neglecting you."

The son-in-law Ruan Xingwen looks elegant and has no beard, just like a young man, but he is more stable than a young man.

"My daughter is unlucky today. It's not the mansion's fault. I'd like to ask the imperial physician to take a look." Mrs. Gu said this without looking at him. If the imperial physician hadn't come, she wouldn't want to stay here. However, for the sake of her daughter's health, she decided to stay and ask the imperial physician to take her pulse.

After the imperial physician took the pulse of several people, he left a prescription for preventing colds. He also said that Miss Gu was frightened and could take some tranquilizers. She seemed to be in a relatively normal state of mind, and then he left.

"Miss Lu, it's our fault today. Thanks for your help. Don't worry, I will send a thank-you gift tomorrow." The eldest princess's face was very cold. It was not known whether it was because her conspiracy had not been accomplished, or because of what the prince consort and Madam Gu had just said.

"Today I am here to show off my ability, so you don't have to be polite, Princess." Seeing her cold attitude, Lu Linlang didn't want to go along with her and just wanted to leave.

"Master, I'm glad you're fine. We were all worried to death. My mother asked us to send you back." Sister Yuwei came over and was relieved to see that she was fine.

"I'm fine. It was Miss Gu who was frightened today. After I returned to my hometown, there were rivers around Chongshui, so I learned how to swim a long time ago."

"Master, you are truly amazing. You know everything. We didn't have the opportunity to learn these things in the capital. Moreover, there is a drought this year. The eldest princess is truly extravagant. Other families are lining up to buy water, but only her family has such a large lotus pond. If it weren't for this pond, Miss Gu wouldn't have been in trouble today."

Sitting in the car, with no one around, Yu Shan suddenly said, "Sister, I saw someone deliberately push Miss Gu down, but that person disappeared after pushing her. I suspect it was a maid from the mansion, but I don't have any evidence, so I don't dare to say it in public."

"Is this true? It seems their purpose this time is to target Miss Gu. This princess is too cruel. Miss Gu's family didn't offend her in the past, yet she still does such a despicable thing."

"Yes, how can you push someone into the pool? If it weren't for the fact that you know how to swim, Miss Gu would be in great trouble. Master, was that move you made today to push the water out so that Miss Gu wouldn't be forced to hold her breath?"

Yu Shan thought about what the teacher had just done, just blowing and pressing, and Miss Gu woke up. She was very curious.

"Yes, mine is called artificial respiration and chest compressions. My second cousin is a doctor who studied medicine. He is quite famous in our area. As a family, we also learned some emergency first aid methods."

Hearing her curiosity, Lu Linlang also explained.

"So that's how it is. It can actually save people this way. It's amazing. Fortunately, it was the Master who blew the whistle today. Otherwise, if those men came, Miss Gu's reputation would be ruined."

"Yes, if it weren't for the Master, Miss Gu's reputation would have been ruined. I saw the Master go into the water earlier, and several male servants followed him in. If they had saved her, Miss Gu's reputation would have been ruined."

When Yuwei thought of the scene at that time, she guessed what the mother and daughter wanted to do. Although they were blood relatives, she was very disgusted with such behavior that damaged other people's reputation.

"No matter how much our reputation is ruined, can it outweigh the loss of our lives? At critical moments, we cannot be bound by our reputations. Reputation is equally important to men and women. As long as our hearts remain pure, we can let go of everything else."

As a modern soul, Lu Linlang values ​​life more, so her thoughts are more inclined towards modern ideas, which cannot be changed even after living here for many years.

"But don't they all say that a woman's reputation is paramount? If she's abandoned by a man who doesn't belong to her, it would bring shame to the family and prevent her sisters from marrying into good families."

Yuwei has been subject to the discipline expected of women since she was a child.

"If someone is willing to degenerate, regardless of gender, it's normal to be despised by others. But if they are forced, then it's not voluntary; it's forced. We shouldn't be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

We should help her even more. In the past, it was said that women could not see men other than men, but since the emperor ascended the throne, everyone began to relax the standards for interactions between men and women.

During war, ordinary people's lives are in danger. If you always worry about the differences between men and women, you are putting a layer of shackles on yourself.

If we could also serve as court officials and offer advice like men, instead of just staying at home to take care of our husbands and children, do you think there would still be a so-called strict separation between men and women?"

Lu Linlang's words shocked the two of them so much that they were still in shock until Lu Linlang got out of the car.

"Sister, do you think we women really have the opportunity to serve as officials in the imperial court?" Yu Shan's heart surged when she thought of the teacher's words.

"I don't know either, but the emperor asked me to study together, so I think maybe the emperor thinks the same."

Lu Linlang didn't know that the two sisters tossed and turned all night. After returning home and drinking a bowl of ginger soup, Lu Zhan came over.

"Sister, my second brother wrote to say that the Chongshui River has run dry. Fortunately, the autumn harvest has begun, and there is still water in the reservoir, so everyone feels much more relieved."

"Let me see." Lu Linlang took the letter and read it bit by bit.

"Fortunately, everyone is working together, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble will happen. There is not much to do in the capital, so I think we should go back early."

Lu Linlang was also worried about things at home. She didn't want to waste time in the capital and planned to leave in a few days.

"We also want to go back. We've been away for so long, we don't know what's going on back home. We haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, and we can't adapt to the weather there."

When they heard that they were getting ready to go back, they hurried to pack their things.
