The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

At this moment, everyone woke up from their dream. Some people began to shout for help at the top of their lungs, while others frantically looked for tools or methods that could help Gu Fanchu.

Gu Fanchu fell into the water, and at that moment, her heart was filled with regret and self-blame. She cursed herself for being so careless. She had lived two lifetimes, but how could she still be so stupid and let others take advantage of her!

Although it is spring now, the weather is still a little chilly, and the water in the lake is icy cold. The feeling of weightlessness suddenly came over Gu Fanchu, as if it was going to swallow her up. Her body was like a heavy stone, slowly sinking to the bottom of the water.

Although she is knowledgeable and talented, she has an inexplicable fear of water.

At this moment, she was already having difficulty breathing. The suffocating feeling was just like the moment before her death in her previous life, making her feel like she was about to die...

At this time, even the ladies in the front yard had arrived. Seeing the figure struggling in the water, they hurriedly asked the people around them to find a way to save the person.

Wang also followed the ladies to the shore. When she saw Wang Yuyan anxiously standing on the shore, her heart skipped a beat and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

She rushed over and took a closer look, only to discover that the person who had fallen into the water was Gu Fanchu! Suddenly, she panicked and quickly shouted for someone to rescue him.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of "plop, plop" falling into the water were heard one after another. It turned out that several young masters and servants jumped into the water together.

However, the scene before them did not make everyone feel relieved.

After all, Gu Fanchu was still a young girl who had just returned to the capital and hadn't even settled on a marriage yet. If she had physical contact with a strange man at this moment, then... her reputation would be completely ruined!

Either she could only marry the man who saved her, or she would never have the chance to marry into a wealthy family again. Thinking of this, Wang was extremely anxious and wanted to jump into the water immediately to pull Gu Fanchu out.

Some people were just waiting to see who would finally rescue the person and what would happen to him after he was rescued. They wore half-smiles on their faces, their eyes gleaming with mockery and disdain.

Many people in this crowd already looked down on Gu Fanchu, and now they were gloating. So what if she was named a princess by His Majesty? She was still bullied! Her reputation was ruined. How could she still maintain her dignity in the future?

Gu Fanchu felt like she was about to suffocate. The lake water kept pouring into her mouth and nose, making it impossible for her to breathe. She struggled desperately, but her body became heavier and heavier, and she gradually lost her strength.

Just when she felt she was about to sink to the bottom of the lake, she suddenly felt a powerful force pulling her up. She was pulled into a pair of strong arms and immediately brought out of the lake.

Gu Fanchu finally came into contact with the air again. The long-lost fresh air made her breathe in greedily. Her consciousness gradually returned and her eyes slowly opened.

He didn't care who saved him, and held the man's neck tightly with both hands, fearing that if he let go, he would fall into the lake and drown.

When the people on the shore saw who had saved Gu Fanchu, their faces changed drastically, especially the young girls. Their expressions of worry or gloating turned into jealousy and resentment.

Wang was also shocked. Why was it this evil spirit... When did he come? Why did he save Chu'er?

Gu Fanchu originally thought that he was in great danger, but unexpectedly he was rescued. When he calmed down, he also knew Meng Hewan's plan.

She wanted to lose her reputation and become a laughing stock in the capital in the future!

In her previous life, the trajectory of fate turned mercilessly. She happened to witness the secret affair between the Third Prince and Qin Mingzhu. She was framed by the two and became the target of public criticism. She was branded as unjust and suffered insults and spitting from everyone.

At that time, Meng Hewan saw her suffering such humiliation, but she did not push her into the water.

But who could have expected that in this life she successfully avoided the misfortune of being framed by them, but instead attracted Meng Hewan to attack her.

At this moment, she felt the strong and powerful body of the man under her, sighed in her heart, and finally raised her head and looked at the benefactor who saved her.

The moment their eyes met, she was surprised to find that the face in front of her was one that could not be more familiar.

His sword-like eyebrows, like the wings of a soaring eagle, slanted into his temples. His inky black eyes were deep and cold, like the water in a cold pond, inspiring awe. Beneath his high nose, his thin lips were tightly pursed, outlining a cold arc. His jet-black hair, now wet, fell softly behind his shoulders, highlighting his tough and handsome features.

Gu Fanchu's expression froze, a trace of awkwardness and indescribable embarrassment on his face. For a moment, he fell into a state of semi-daze and semi-stupor. It turned out to be this evil spirit! When on earth did he appear?

Shi Jinyan looked at the woman's stiff body, felt her arms tightly around him, and saw the embarrassed expression on her face, and he sneered in his heart: What a fickle little girl.

Shi Jinyan would never attend such boring gatherings, so he went to work early in the morning.

However, Ji Yunchen came over to bother him directly, and in the end he was annoyed to the point that he could not do anything, so he followed him reluctantly.

Unexpectedly, just after sitting in the pavilion for a while, I saw the little girl being pushed from the side and falling directly into the lake.

Originally he thought Gu Fanchu could swim, but when he saw her struggling frantically in the lake and her body sinking deeper and deeper, he realized that she really couldn't swim.

This had nothing to do with him originally. Seeing that several servants and the young master had already gone into the water, Ji Yunchen beside him kept urging him. It was because he was annoyed by being urged that he went into the water and rescued the people.

What does her expression mean now? Is she not going to save him herself?

Shi Jinyan consoled himself in his heart that he was just repaying her for saving his life that day...

But when he felt the girl's wholehearted trust, his heart seemed to soften.

When Shi Jinyan brought the person to the shore with a sullen face, Ji Yunchen, who was holding Shi Jinyan's outer robe, didn't wait for Wang to react, and directly put the robe on the wet Gu Fanchu.

"Princess Lingyu, put it on quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

Shi Jinyan put down the shivering girl, frowned and looked at Ji Yunchen with some disgust, "You are quite attentive, but do you want to see whose clothes those are?"

Ji Yunchen felt the knife-like gaze from his friend, but pretended not to see it.

"This... this is not appropriate. Lord Shi is also wet. Why don't we..." Gu Fanchu finally felt relieved after getting ashore. The man's loose clothes were draped over her body. A faint scent of sandalwood and a hint of body temperature wafted in her face, which instantly made her ears turn red.

Shi Jinyan's originally unhappy mood immediately dissipated after he saw the light blush on the woman's face. He simply said, "Princess, you should wear it."
