Chapter 9 Falling into the water

An hour later, the boat docked at the shore, and everyone disembarked. Su Qianrou walked at the very back, looking at the scenery on the shore.

Su Wanshan saw her standing by the boat not far away, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, so she walked over to her side and asked, "What are you looking at, sister?"

"It's nothing, why isn't my sister going downstairs yet?"

"I am with my sister."

Su Qianrou looked at her without saying a word.

Su Wanshan felt a little guilty under her gaze, "Why are you looking at me like that, sister?"

"It's nothing, I just think my sister looks great in her outfit today."

"I also want to thank my sister for letting me have it."

"I'm glad my sister likes it," Su Qianrou said, then looked away.

Su Wanshan glanced around warily and found that no one else was watching except Chunzhu and Yuexin. So she ruthlessly decided to push Su Qianrou down. As she thought this, she secretly raised her hand. However, to her surprise, the moment she touched Su Qianrou, she took a step back to the side.

From the moment she arrived, Su Qianrou had already guessed what she wanted to do, so she remained vigilant and naturally wouldn't let her succeed. Moreover, she wasn't a pushover to be easily manipulated, so she shoved Su Wanshan down in the back.

"Miss!" Yuexin exclaimed in panic upon seeing her.

"Sister... Help! Help! My sister has fallen into the water!" Su Qianrou cried out.

Upon hearing this, the ladies who were about to disembark turned around and looked at her, then at Su Wanshan. Seeing her struggling in the water, they became nervous and walked over together.

At this moment, Lin Rong and the others had already disembarked and were walking towards them. Upon hearing that someone had fallen into the water, they quickly came over.

Upon seeing Su Wanshan in the water, Lin Rong immediately ordered, "Go find her quickly."

“Yes,” Qinghui replied.

At the same time, Su Qianrou looked at the ladies and asked anxiously, "Does anyone here know how to swim?"

The ladies all shook their heads, indicating that they couldn't.

"Doesn't anyone know how to be a maid?"

No one answered.

So Su Qianrou instructed, "Chunzhu, go and fetch the boatman."

"Yes," Chunzhu replied, and then went to find the boatman.

At first, Su Wanshan struggled, but she quickly lost her strength and began to fall slowly.

Before long, Qinghui arrived with a group of young masters, among whom Su Mingxuan was.

"Mother, I heard that my second sister fell into the water," Su Mingxuan asked.

"Yes, you've come at the right time. Go down and rescue her."

"Okay," but before he could do anything, someone had already jumped down.

The one who jumped in was Li Quanwei, the son of the county magistrate. He went straight for Su Wanshan and swam quickly toward her before anyone could react.

Realizing what was happening, Su Mingxuan jumped down as well.

Soon after, Su Wanshan was rescued, but she had already fallen into a coma.

Li Quanwei kept calling her name, "Wan'er, Wan'er, wake up, Wan'er."

At this moment, Su Qianrou ran over, "Sister, sister, wake up quickly, sister."

Su Wanshan did not respond, so Su Qianrou performed CPR on her.

The others, seeing this, were puzzled, not knowing what she meant by doing so.

Lin Rong was afraid that something might happen to Su Wanshan, and that she would have a hard time getting away from it, so she stopped her, saying, "Rou'er, what are you doing? Stop it."

“Yes, Miss Su, you’ll harm Miss Su the Second by doing this,” Madam Li chimed in.

Su Qianrou didn't explain. Seeing that Su Wanshan was still unconscious, she prepared to give her artificial respiration. However, before she could get close, Su Wanshan woke up and coughed, vomiting the water in her stomach.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the room, the doctor was treating Su Wanshan, while the others stood by and waited.

After a short while, the doctor stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Madam, fortunately, this young lady was rescued in time, so she is not seriously injured. She is just a little frightened. She will be fine after taking some medicine and resting for a few days."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"Madam, you're too kind. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

"Ok".

Then, the doctor went out.

Lin Rong glanced at Su Wanshan, then looked at Su Qianrou, "Rou'er, what happened? Why did she fall into the water?"

"My sister fell because she lost her footing."

"That's not how it is, Mother," Su Wanshan said, looking pitiful. Her face was pale from drowning, making her look so pathetic that one couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

“No, then what is it?” Lin Rong looked at her.

Su Wanshan glanced at Su Qianrou furtively, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Everyone watched her actions and wondered if there was some inside story. Their gossipy hearts couldn't be contained, and they all pricked up their ears.

To be honest, Su Qianrou wanted to see what she could say, so she didn't refute her.

"Just say what you have to say, why are you beating around the bush?" Lin Rong disliked her pretentious attitude the most.

“I…” Su Wanshan’s eyes glanced at Su Qianrou intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was considering something.

“Sister, just speak your mind. To be honest, I’m quite curious too. If you didn’t fall because you couldn’t stand properly, what else could it be?”

"Does my sister really want me to say it?"

"Is there something that can't be said?"

Su Wanshan looked troubled, as if she was struggling to make a decision, and remained silent for a long time.

"Since you won't tell me, then let's just forget about it," Lin Rong said, not wanting to waste any more time with her. So, she turned and prepared to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Su Wanshan became a little anxious and said timidly, "It was my sister who pushed me down."

"What did you say?" Lin Rong looked at her in disbelief.

"My daughter wanted to go with her sister, but unexpectedly, her sister pushed her into the water when she wasn't paying attention," she said, then sadly lowered her head.

Lin Rong naturally didn't believe her words, so she looked at Su Qianrou, and everyone else also looked at her.

Chunzhu wanted to explain, but Su Qianrou stopped her.

Su Qianrou looked at Su Wanshan and thought to herself, "If this acting were in modern times, she would definitely be a first-class actress, and might even win an Oscar for Best Actress." Then she slowly said, "Sister, have you lost your mind? Everyone here knows that I love you the most. How could I push you into the water for no reason? If I did that, what would my purpose be? Besides, everyone saw how anxious I was after you fell into the water. So, I really can't understand why you say that I pushed you into the water."

“That’s right. If Qianrou wanted to harm you, she wouldn’t have saved you. If it weren’t for her, you might have drowned by now. But instead of being grateful, you turned around and blamed her,” Xu Linlin said.

"My sister must have been frightened and momentarily lost her mind, which is why she was talking nonsense."

“I don’t have a mother. I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, ask Yuexin,” Su Wanshan said, giving Yuexin a wink.
