Chapter 373 Wake up, what happened?
"How do you know I want to go swimming? It's too hot, I want to go swimming to cool down. What bad thing? I don't know what you are talking about."
"It's not easy for Madam to swim."
With a "splash" sound, Lu Huaijin reached out and pulled her into his arms. Before Yao Qingnian could react, he carried her into the lake.
"You're crazy, you bastard!"
"It was you who said you wanted to swim. As your husband, I will try my best to satisfy any request you make."
"Satisfy your big head, go to hell!" Yao Qingnian pushed him away, pushed him into the water, and swam to the shore. After a long time, he didn't see Lu Huaijin coming up: "Oh my god, he won't drown, right?"
Yao Qingnian waited for a while, but still no one came up. She became anxious and turned around and jumped into the lake again: "Lu Huaijin, where are you!"
When she lowered her head into the lake to look for someone, a hand grabbed her. The two looked at each other in the water. Lu Huaijin pulled her into his arms and pressed his warm lips against her. Yao Qingnian's mind went blank again.
Clothes and ginger soup had been prepared in Lu Huaijin's carriage. After the two changed their clothes, they sat in the carriage. Yao Qingnian's face was still slightly red. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, she spoke first: "I don't know how Shen Youran and the others are doing?"
"Don't worry, Madam. They won't be back for a while."
"How do you know?" He knew from the beginning that Shen Youran had bad intentions, but he didn't expect that she was teaming up with Pei Zongzheng to ruin his innocence so that the marriage could be finalized. This way, he wouldn't have to pay back the money, and Chen Shuhua would have to beg them. It was really a good plan.
"I sent someone to help them again and sent them to the center of the lake." When Lu Huaijin was on duty, he met Shan Wei who was returning to the Shangshu Mansion. He asked casually. He heard that Yao Qingnian and Shen Youran were boating on the lake and had sent Shan Wei away. He thought that they wanted to attack her. He was worried, so he rushed over. He happened to see Yao Qingnian changing the wine, so he felt relieved and stood not far away to watch.
When he saw Pei Zongzheng entering the guest room, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He rushed to the door of the guest room and was about to kick the door open. When he heard his wife's cursing voice inside, the corner of his mouth curled up and he retreated.
On the flower boat, the effect of Shen Youran's medicine gradually faded. When she opened her eyes, she felt unbearable pain all over her body. She shook her dizzy head and sat up for a while. Only then did she realize that she was not wearing any clothes: "Ah!"
When she saw Pei Zongzheng lying beside her, her face was filled with despair. How could it be? How could it be her? She saw Pei Zongzheng enter the guest room with her own eyes, and then... then she just felt dizzy, and she didn't remember what happened next, what happened, and where did that bitch go.
"No! If someone finds out, her life will be over." While Pei Zongzheng was still asleep, she hurriedly put on her clothes and climbed out of the guest room. However, after going out, she became even more desperate. At this time, their boat had drifted to the center of the lake, and she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
Just when she was in despair, she saw a boat coming not far away. She gritted her teeth, hardened her heart, and jumped off the boat.
"Help! Help..." Shen Youran shouted loudly.
People on a boat not far away heard the cry for help and came out. They saw a girl shouting for help on the lake not far away. At this moment, a figure jumped down and swam towards Shen Youran.
"Prince Rui, be careful!" the servant on the boat exclaimed.
Shen Youran breathed a sigh of relief when she saw someone swimming towards her. She was finally saved. After a long while, she was rescued to the shore, but fainted due to exhaustion.
Shen Youran's wet hair was messily stuck to her fair cheeks, and water drops kept rolling down from the ends of her hair, making her look even more pitiful. Her clothes were tightly attached to her body, outlining her exquisite figure. Her slightly trembling body made people feel pity for her.
"Go, ask someone to change clothes for this girl." King Rui looked at the girl in front of him and ordered his servants.
"Hey, isn't this the second young lady of the Shangshu Mansion? Why is she here?" Someone on the boat recognized her.
"Is it her?" Prince Rui shook off his wet clothes.
"Do you know King Rui?" others around him teased.
"I don't know her, but I heard that Miss Shen II is one of the most talented and beautiful women in the capital. After meeting her today, I find that she is indeed as beautiful as the rumors said." A faint smile appeared on his face, and he went to change into clean clothes.
King Rui and King Jing have the same status, both are princes, King Rui is the second oldest and King Jing is the fourth oldest. Although they have the same status, their treatment is very different. Apart from the crown prince, Emperor Cang Ling loves King Rui the most. As for King Jing, his mother is a young lady from a small family, and she does not have a strong family support, so she is not loved by the emperor, and he also dislikes King Jing.
After a long while, Shen Youran finally woke up. She opened her eyes and saw the maidservant serving her. She spoke softly, "Sister, where am I? Did you save me?"
"Miss, wake up! I don't have such ability. It was our prince who saved you." When the maid heard her call her sister, she liked her a little more.
"Your prince?"
"Yes, my prince is Prince Rui. Today he made an appointment with several other young masters to go boating on the lake. He happened to see you fall into the water and call for help, so he jumped in and rescued you in a hurry." The maid told her what had happened.
Prince Rui? The prince that the emperor loved very much? It seemed that jumping into the lake was a blessing in disguise.
"Miss Shen, are you feeling better?" At this moment, a gentle male voice sounded. Shen Youran looked towards the person who came and saw Prince Rui walking over gracefully with a smile on his face and an exquisite folding fan in his hand. His eyes revealed concern and tenderness, which attracted her attention.
"Greetings, Prince Rui." Shen Youran was about to get out of bed to salute, but Prince Rui quickly stopped her.
"You haven't recovered yet, so there's no need to be polite. Just sit down and talk." King Rui looked at her humble and polite appearance and nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you so much for saving my life today, Your Highness. I don't know how I can thank you." Shen Youran forced herself to stand up and was about to kneel down to King Rui, but suddenly her legs went limp and she fell into King Rui's arms: "Your Highness, please forgive me! I'm sorry!" Shen Youran said weakly, looking like she wanted to struggle but was powerless.
"It's okay. I'll help you sit back on the bed." The unique fragrance of a girl filled King Rui's nose. The two leaned against each other tightly. The atmosphere in the room was a little subtle for a moment. King Rui coughed twice to resolve the embarrassment and asked, "Why did you fall into the lake?"
