Chapter 55 Lin Siqiong is not wearing pants now!

Madam Hou gently patted Yu Tingwan's hand and said, "Tingwan, don't blame yourself too much. We all saw it clearly just now. It was Siqiong who lost her balance and fell out. It's not your fault. The servant has already gone down to rescue her, so don't worry!"

Yu Tingwan was crying so hard that her eyes were filled with tears, and her body was shaking slightly.

She had a delicate and weak appearance to begin with, and now she looked more like a flower ravaged by a violent storm, making people unable to help but want to pity her.

"But I accidentally ripped off Siqiong's clothes..."

"You are so eager to save people. Siqiong won't blame you." The Marquis's wife continued to comfort him.

Although it has been a while since Yu Tingwan came back, they are not close enough and are more polite to each other than each other.

Now that this happened, Yu Tingwan was frightened. She looked at her eagerly, seeking her comfort and help pitifully, which finally made her feel like a mother.

This is how her biological daughter should be!

My heart and eyes are full of myself, and when something happens, I cry quietly in front of myself.

Mrs. Hou's maternal love overflowed, and she immediately concluded the matter, "This was just an accident! Listen to me, don't think too much about it."

"Okay, then I'll listen to my mother."

Yu Tingwan agreed softly, her face full of submissiveness.

Doesn’t Lin Siqiong like to pretend to be well-behaved and weak like this the most?

Then she would follow Lin Siqiong's path and leave Lin Siqiong with no way out!

But at the moment, Lin Siqiong was still struggling in the water, so there was no need to walk.

The few servants who followed had already jumped into the water and approached Lin Siqiong, wanting to rescue her.

But Lin Siqiong stopped them loudly.

"All of you, leave! Get out of here! Don't come over here!"

Hearing Lin Siqiong's words, the servants looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do next.

Mrs. Hou had never seen Lin Siqiong like this before. Seeing her floating in the water with her hair disheveled and shouting like a shrew, she subconsciously frowned.

"Si Qiong, what's wrong with you? The water is so cold, stop making a fuss, and let the servants rescue you!"

Lin Siqiong was still struggling, but she didn't give in at all. "No! I don't want them to save me! Get them out!"

Shen Qingmo, who had been watching this scene with a sullen face, frowned tightly, "Qiong'er, what are you doing? Come up quickly!"

How could she be so embarrassed as to lie in the lotus pond in public?

She likes it in there so much that she doesn't want to come out!

Hearing Shen Qingmo's words, Lin Siqiong was ashamed and angry.

Is it that she doesn't want to go out?

But her pants were taken off by Yu Tingwan. If the servant got close to her at this time, her reputation would be completely ruined!

But she couldn't say that, so she could only look at the Marquis' wife pitifully, "Mother, please have someone row the boat over and have two maids pull me up."

Yu Tingwan acted as if she had suddenly realized something. "Mother, Siqiong's pants are here with me. No wonder she wouldn't let the servant get close to her. Mother, you should quickly ask the maid who knows how to swim to rescue her!"

Yu Tingwan was not being kind enough to explain for Lin Siqiong. She was reminding everyone again that Lin Siqiong was not wearing pants now!

"So that's why." The Marquis's wife suddenly realized and quickly ordered the servants, "Have two women who know how to swim row the boat across to speed it up!"

In order to make it easier for the masters of the Marquis' Mansion to enjoy the scenery, there are small boats beside the lotus pond, which are made very exquisitely.

Two strong women who knew how to swim were called over and they quickly rowed the boat to rescue Lin Siqiong.

It was because Lin Siqiong knew a little about swimming that she was able to hold on for so long, otherwise she would have sunk to the bottom long ago.

The boat was not big to begin with, and the two women were afraid of accidentally capsizing it, so they were very careful in rescuing the people.

But Lin Siqiong's clothes were gorgeous and complicated, with several layers even in summer.

These clothes usually look really pleasing to the eye, but now that they are wet, they become heavy and become a burden.

Seeing that they were about to fail to get Lin Siqiong on board because of the clothes several times, Madam Hou frowned and ordered, "Stop dawdling and take off your outer clothes."

The two old women were waiting for this!

As soon as he heard the Marquis's order, he immediately took off all of Lin Siqiong's outer clothes, then pulled her out of the water and put her in the boat.

Without the outer clothes, Lin Siqiong was wearing clothes next to her skin. The material of the clothes was thin and light, and now it was wet and stuck tightly to her body.

Not only that, the slender white neck, half of the shoulders, and the smooth white calves were all exposed.

Under the sunlight, Lin Siqiong's skin reflects white light, making people unable to look away.

Several servants didn't dare to look but couldn't help but secretly watch, and couldn't stop swallowing their saliva after watching.

Shen Qingmo looked at this scene, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

When Lin Siqiong was helped ashore by two maids, Shen Qingmo not only showed no concern, but frowned, "What's wrong with you? Why did you throw yourself into the lotus pond?"

Not only did he make himself so embarrassed, but he also brought shame upon himself!

Lin Siqiong was extremely angry.

What does it mean that she threw herself into the lotus pond?

It was clearly Yu Tingwan who harmed her!

Thinking of this, Lin Siqiong immediately looked towards Yu Tingwan, "It's you——"

Before she could finish her words, Yu Tingwan sniffed, "Siqiong, it's all my fault. If I hadn't invited you here for tea and chat, you wouldn't have accidentally fallen into the lotus pond. Blame me if you want to blame someone!"

Seeing Yu Tingwan like this, the Marquis's wife felt distressed. She took Yu Tingwan's hand and patted it gently, "Tingwan, didn't I just tell you that this matter has nothing to do with you? We saw clearly when we came here that it was Siqiong who rushed in. Why do you take all the blame on yourself? Even if you want to, Siqiong is virtuous and generous, and she respects you as her sister. She will definitely not agree with you doing this. Siqiong, don't you agree?"

"Siqiong, is what mother said true?" Yu Tingwan looked at Lin Siqiong with red eyes.

Being stared at like that, Lin Siqiong could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger, forcing a smile. "Mother is right. This matter has nothing to do with me. It was me who didn't stand firm. Please don't blame yourself."

Yu Tingwan breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm relieved now that you said that! Yu'er, you won't misunderstand me anymore, right?"

Lin Yu snorted, "Even if it wasn't you who pushed it, you still have the responsibility. Who asked you to suggest coming to the lotus pond?"

"Yu'er is right." Yu Tingwan did not argue, and continued softly, "Youning fell into the water a few days ago, and Siqiong fell into the water today. It's obvious that our house has a conflict with water. We should have someone fill in the lotus pond to prevent anyone from accidentally falling into the water again. Mother, what do you think?"

Madam Hou thought this was reasonable and looked at Yu Tingwan with admiration. "You are really smart and quick-witted. You thought of this so quickly. Let's do as you said and fill up the lotus pond!"

Yu Tingwan glanced at the lotus flowers that hadn't yet bloomed and sighed softly, "What a pity these lotus flowers haven't bloomed yet! Oh, Siqiong, you just said you saw a blooming lotus, why haven't I seen it yet?"

"Maybe I saw it wrong..."

"I see." Yu Tingwan nodded. "If it weren't for these lotus flowers that made you mistaken, you wouldn't have fallen into the water. Let's bury these lotus flowers in there too. It can be considered as a way to vent your anger. What do you think?"

Lin Siqiong could hardly smile anymore, and could only pull up the corners of her mouth stiffly. "I think it's good. Thank you, sister."

"You're welcome." Yu Tingwan smiled gently, appearing tolerant and generous. "Although you are not my parents' biological child and have no blood relationship with the Yong'an Marquisate, you call me sister and I take care of you and think about you. That's all I should do. Don't worry, no matter what, the Yong'an Marquisate is your home! We are all your family!"

When Shen Qingmo heard this, his two handsome eyebrows frowned and his eyes became deeper.

"Mother." Shen Qingmo said gently, "Si Qiong is still wet, let me take her back to the yard first!"

As he spoke, he took off his cloak and draped it over Lin Siqiong, wrapping her completely in it.

Seeing Shen Qingmo's actions, Madam Hou smiled with great satisfaction, "Seeing that you two are loving and harmonious, I feel relieved. Qingmo, Siqiong will be left to your care. If you need anything, just let someone come to me."

"Thank you, mother!"

As Shen Qingmo spoke, he directly picked up Lin Siqiong and carried her sideways, and left here with big strides.

After watching them walk away, Yu Tingwan showed curiosity and asked softly, "Mother, this is..."

"This is Siqiong's husband, Shen Qingmo. The Shen family is a family of scholars. Although not as wealthy as the Marquis's Mansion, they are all scholars. Shen Qingmo is so young, but he is already the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He is a rare talent!"

Lin Yu glanced at Yu Tingwan proudly, "Sister has been learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since she was young. She is also proficient in poetry and songs. She was a famous talented woman in the capital back then. She and brother-in-law are a match made in heaven! Don't even think about it!"

"What was I thinking?" Yu Tingwan looked at Lin Yu with red eyes. "I just haven't seen it before, and seeing how intimate they were, I asked because I was worried about Siqiong. How come you said that I had some improper thoughts?"

Without waiting for Lin Yu to speak, Yu Tingwan's tone became serious again.

"Yu'er, you're not a child anymore. You should be more measured in what you say and do, or you might accidentally offend someone without even realizing it. If you keep acting like this, when will the Emperor agree to make you the Crown Prince?"

The matter of establishing a crown prince was also a concern for the Marquis' wife. Upon hearing this, she glared at Lin Yu fiercely, "Your elder sister is right! You are already an adult, why are you still so careless? You can't even speak! If you continue like this, I will let your father punish you severely! You will not be allowed to leave the house for three months!"

Lin Yu has loved lively activities since he was a child. Not letting him go out for three months was like asking for his life, so he quickly gave in.

"Mother, I was wrong. I will never speak like that again!"

"What's the use of telling me? Apologize to your elder sister."

Lin Yu was unwilling to accept it and turned his face to the side, "I was wrong, okay!"
