Seeing Jiaojiao fall into the pond, Shen Congjiang jumped in without thinking. The lake water was very cold at this time. Jiaojiao was weaker than other children because of her premature birth. Although she had been well taken care of by Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi, her foundation was still a little weak.

Jiaojiao couldn't swim, so she could only flap around in the pond. Because she was too scared, her body was tense and she was gradually sinking.

Shen Congjiang knew how to swim, but he was just a half-grown child. He had already tried his best to swim to Jiaojiao. He wanted to pull Jiaojiao to the shore, but Jiaojiao dragged him into the pond.

Shen Congjiang had no choice but to struggle and shout loudly, praying that a servant passing by would come and rescue the two of them.

In order to make Jiaojiao happy, Shen Congjiang brought Jiaojiao out without telling anyone else, and naturally there were no servants around to serve him.

Fortunately, there were many servants in the princess's mansion, and they were almost everywhere. Among them, several people who looked like guards happened to be near the small garden. When they heard Shen Congjiang's voice, they hurried over and saw Shen Congjiang and Jiaojiao soaking in the garden pond.

Several people were suddenly shocked and without thinking, they rescued Jiaojiao and Shen Congjiang as quickly as possible.

Both of them were wet, and the cold pool water made the two children shiver constantly.

The guards found a blanket, wrapped the two children, and brought them to Su Zhizhi and Xu Miao.

Looking at the two embarrassed little ones, Su Zhizhi held Jiaojiao over with some confusion, while Xu Miao's face was a little angry, "What on earth is going on?"

The guard told Su Zhizhi and Xu Miao what had just happened in the small garden. Su Zhizhi's face changed instantly, and she quickly lowered her head to check on Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao, who was nestled in Su Zhizhi's arms, looked pale, with an abnormal blush on her cheeks. Su Zhizhi had a bad premonition.

She stretched out her hand and placed it on Jiaojiao's forehead. Feeling the heat in her palm, Su Zhizhi took a breath.

Xu Miao saw that Su Zhizhi's face was not very good, and his face was full of guilt. "Zhizhi, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Jiang'er..."

Su Zhizhi shook her head. She hugged Jiaojiao tightly in her arms and looked at Shen Congjiang who had also fallen into the water. She said, "Jiang'er also fell in. This is not Jiang'er's fault. It was me who failed to take good care of Jiaojiao. Your Highness, please call the doctor to see Jiang'er first. I think he doesn't look much better than Jiaojiao."

After all, Su Zhizhi was not the kind of person who would make a fuss. While the two were talking, Shen Wenjun and Xie Chengjin also ran in. They were discussing something in the study when they heard the servants report that Jiaojiao and Shen Congjiang had fallen into the water. Without thinking, the two put down what they were doing and ran over.

As soon as Xie Chengjin entered the room, he saw Su Zhizhi and Jiaojiao, who was trembling in her arms.

Xie Chengjin didn't even look at Shen Congjiang who was standing there, and ran straight towards Su Zhizhi.

"Zhizhi, how is Jiaojiao?" Xie Chengjin looked at Jiaojiao buried in Su Zhizhi's arms, feeling very anxious.

Shen Wenjun's heart skipped a beat when he saw the situation before him. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Jiaojiao looks a little unwell. How about I send someone to get a doctor to check on her?"

After saying this, Shen Wenjun was afraid that Su Zhizhi would refuse, so she quickly ordered the servants behind her to go and call a doctor.

Su Zhizhi shook her head. "It's okay. Jiang'er has also fallen into the water. As for Jiaojiao, A Jin and I will take her back to the mansion. The doctor in the mansion has been treating Jiaojiao and is more familiar with her condition. Jiaojiao has a fever, so I'll take her away first. I'll bring her back when she feels better."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin took Jiaojiao from Su Zhizhi's hand, nodded slightly to Shen Wenjun and Xu Miao, and then turned around and left the princess's mansion with Su Zhizhi.

Shen Wenjun stood aside, but didn't know how to ask Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin to stay.

After the two figures completely disappeared, Shen Wenjun looked at Xu Miao with a complicated expression. Xu Miao also looked helpless. He lowered his head and waved to Shen Congjiang, "Jiang'er, come here."

Xu Miao knew that Shen Congjiang was responsible for this incident, but when he saw his son soaking wet, even though Xu Miao was full of complaints, he couldn't say anything after seeing Shen Congjiang's miserable appearance.

Shen Wenjun sighed deeply and sat down next to Xu Miao. The couple looked at Shen Congjiang and asked, "Jiang'er, what happened? How did you and Jiaojiao fall into the pond?"

Shen Congjiang shrugged his nose, as if realizing he was wrong. He lowered his head and whispered, "I saw A Niang chatting with Aunt Su, and Jiaojiao seemed unhappy, so I wanted to take her to see the fish in the pond. But Jiaojiao got too close to the pond, and somehow, Jiaojiao fell in. I saw that Jiaojiao couldn't swim, so I thought of jumping in to save her, and then..."

Hearing this, Xu Miao felt extremely helpless. At this time, the doctor also came in and examined Shen Congjiang. Then he said to Xu Miao, "Your Highness, the young master is frightened and caught a cold after falling into the water. Fortunately, the young master has always been in good health, so the condition is not very serious. He just needs to rest well for a while."

Knowing that Shen Congjiang was not seriously ill, Xu Miao and Shen Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief and asked the servants to take Shen Congjiang back. Shen Wenjun then said to Xu Miao, "Jiang'er is fine at the moment, but Jiaojiao..."

Xu Miao sighed and said, "I'm also worried about Jiaojiao. Ultimately, this matter is Jiang'er's fault. She took Jiaojiao out without any servants accompanying her. This is also my fault. I didn't notice that the two children had sneaked out."

"When Jiang'er recovers, I will take this brat to Xie's house to apologize to Jiaojiao." Shen Wenjun knew that Xu Miao was not only worried about Jiaojiao, so she quickly took the initiative to speak.

Xu Miao nodded. "That's fine. We can't just do nothing. Jiaojiao was injured in our house after all, so we have to show some appreciation. I just don't know..."

Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin brought Jiaojiao back to the mansion, and the palace doctor was already waiting in Su Zhizhi's yard.

Seeing Jiaojiao's appearance, the court doctor's expression immediately became serious. After Xie Chengjin carefully placed Jiaojiao on the bed, the court doctor ignored everything else and quickly stepped forward to take Jiaojiao's pulse.
