Chapter 232 No, is she sick?
Sheng Yunzhu turned her head in shock, looking at Lu Yangyang with a complicated expression.
Then, gritting her teeth, she said, "Lu Yangyang, why won't you let me go? What do you want? I've already tolerated you in every way, isn't that enough?"
He can go crazy in an instant.
It's impossible for her to be called out for no reason.
Lu Yangyang scoffed: "It seems you'll have to put on the show yourself today, Sheng Yunzhu. I'm really curious, you specially commissioned someone to write this script and even staged it into a play. What, are you starting to pave the way for your identity to be exposed?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. I just want to beg you, please let me go, okay? I really don't know why you hate me so much. I never wanted to take anything from you. Now my mother only has eyes for you, and you've got what you wanted. Why won't you let me go?" Sheng Yunzhu shouted emotionally.
Lu Yangyang calmly looked at the crazed Sheng Yunzhu, and the ominous feeling she had just had intensified.
She glanced at the distance between them and quickly took a few steps back.
Suddenly, Sheng Yunzhu leaned back and fell into the lake.
The lake water was still cold in February, and Sheng Yunzhu's clothes were very heavy due to their intricate design.
Startled, Sheng Yunzhu screamed, "Ah—"
Lu Yangyang looked at Sheng Yunzhu, who had fallen into the lake and was struggling, with a complicated expression. She almost laughed out of anger. Sure enough, this was what she was waiting for. Why did she have to walk along the lakeside instead of taking the proper path? Lu Yangyang had really underestimated her.
"As expected of someone who has been given a second chance at life, they're really willing to go all out."
Lu Yangyang coldly watched Sheng Yunzhu struggling in the water, and really wanted to go over and press her head down to make her drink more water, so that Sheng Yunzhu's hard work in singing would not have been in vain.
Unfortunately, she had barely moved her foot when she faintly heard footsteps.
Lu Yangyang cursed under her breath, quickly walked away, and found a secluded place to hide.
I didn't check the almanac before going out today, and I'm somehow incompatible with water. If I were to find a fortune teller right now, I'd definitely have to tell her that she's having a water-related problem today.
Meanwhile, Lu Yangyang, hiding in a secluded spot, looked in the direction of the footsteps she had just heard. The Third Prince had already walked quickly to the lakeside, called out "Third Miss Sheng," and jumped in.
Sheng Yunzhu was struggling right by the lake, and since the Third Prince was a martial arts practitioner, he quickly rescued her.
Sheng Yunzhu leaned weakly against the Third Prince's chest, trembling.
Cheng Ruoxue, who had come along with him, took off her cloak and handed it over: "Your Highness, please use this cloak to keep Yunzhu warm. Please have someone take Yunzhu to change her clothes quickly. The lake water is cold, and you should be careful not to catch a cold. Your Highness should also go and change your clothes quickly."
The Third Prince was soaked to the bone. He glanced at Sheng Yunzhu, who was trembling in his arms, nodded, and gratefully took the cloak and wrapped it around Sheng Yunzhu: "Thank you, Ruoxue is the most thoughtful."
Sheng Yunzhu leaned weakly against the Third Prince's chest, her gaze indifferent. She glanced at Cheng Ruoxue silently, with a hint of provocation.
Cheng Ruoxue smiled, as if she hadn't seen anything, and thoughtfully called someone over to help.
Before Lu Yangyang could even walk back, the news had already spread throughout the entire garden that Sheng Yunzhu had accidentally fallen into the lake, but was rescued by the Third Prince who happened to be passing by.
Lu Yangyang walked back to the garden. Most of the people at the banquet had already left, but Princess Liduan and Sheng Yunjiao were still waiting for her.
Upon seeing her return, Princess Liduan hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "You're finally back? Are you alright? Sheng Yunzhu didn't do anything to you, did she?"
Lu Yangyang frowned and shook her head.
Princess Li Duan patted her chest with lingering fear: "I was so scared! When I heard that Sheng Yunzhu had fallen into the water, I was terrified. I was worried that you guys had started fighting and I was about to go check on you when Jiao Jiao told me that I could swim and that I would be fine."
"What did Sheng Yunzhu say to you? How did she fall into the water?" Sheng Yunjiao asked anxiously.
Lu Yangyang stared at her two friends for a moment, her expression strange: "Sheng Yunzhu didn't say how she fell? Did she say I pushed her?"
The two paused for a moment, then shook their heads.
"They say she fell down by accident, and then thanks to the Third Prince's rescue, everyone is saying that the Third Prince is deeply in love with her, and it seems that good things are coming soon," said Princess Liduan.
Lu Yangyang's lips twitched violently. She finally understood. Sheng Yunzhu had deliberately made such a scene and even invited her along, all to kill two birds with one stone, no, to kill three birds with one stone.
First, take her to the lakeside, then pretend to have an argument with her and jump into the lake. If you can frame her, that would be best. If not, she probably knew in advance that the Third Prince was coming. If she jumps in and is then rescued by the Third Prince, it will completely confirm that the relationship between her and the Third Prince is extraordinary.
Clearly, it was the incident of the Third Prince being with Cheng Ruoxue that provoked her to resort to such a despicable tactic.
And with the whole incident of her falling into the water, probably no one will remember Dongzhu anymore.
She can save the trouble of buying that box of pearls.
The calculation was perfectly timed.
Sheng Yunzhu probably used all her cleverness for petty tricks.
Lu Yangyang was utterly speechless.
"Yangyang, what's with that expression? What did Sheng Yunzhu say to you?" Li Duan asked, noticing her expression.
Lu Yangyang had no choice but to recount what had just happened.
Li Duan stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "She...she jumped in by herself? No, is she crazy?"
Lu Yangyang: "..."
Sheng Yunjiao: "This wasn't unexpected. That's just her personality. A few years ago, before my eldest sister got married, Grandmother gave her a hairpin. She took a liking to it and secretly provoked her. My eldest sister was furious and they had only exchanged a few words when she fell down, her hand hitting the hairpin and staining it with blood. Someone happened to see this and said that my eldest sister had pushed her. Grandmother was furious and took back the hairpin, even cutting the promised dowry in half. My eldest sister cried uncontrollably. It was my aunt who couldn't bear it and felt that my eldest sister, as the eldest daughter of the Duke's family, shouldn't have a meager dowry, so she secretly gave her some extra money. However, worried that this would upset Sheng Yunzhu, she later gave Sheng Yunzhu double the compensation."
Sheng Yunjiao and Sheng Yunzhu are not much different in age. They have been fighting over things since they were young and she has suffered a lot of losses. The reason why she hates Sheng Yunzhu so much is that Sheng Yunzhu is two-faced. However, Sheng Yunzhu has a good reputation and high status, so even if she said it, no one would believe that she did it on purpose.
Sheng Yunjiao sighed: "Because of this, my eldest sister took the opportunity of marrying far away and has never returned to the Duke's mansion after the marriage."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yangyang couldn't help but chime in, "No, is she sick?"
