Too High to Reach

Mo Yi is the fifth daughter of an ordinary family in the capital. Her lifelong wishes:

To marry a blue-robed scholar;

To live in a sunny little courtyard;

If she could also open a...

154. Chapter 154 What does it have to do with you?

Chapter 154 What's It To You

The three girls walked back.

They didn't notice that County Lady Wenfang was staring at them blankly.

It turned out that County Lady Wenfang had just entered the inner courtyard and saw Nanny Xu leading them.

Her family was familiar with the Xu family and they cared about them, so naturally she recognized Aunt Xu.

Out of curiosity, I sent the maid to follow her. As a result, the maid really heard it. It was: Miss Mo.

It turned out that this was Xu Ke’s fiancée.

I stared at her blankly for a while, feeling extremely sad: I thought she was a fairy-like figure!

The result is just average! Why?

Mo Wen came out with a somewhat solemn expression.

"I think Madam Xu has a good temper!" Mo Yuan advised her.

"Yeah, he's a decent guy," Moe said.

Mo Wen was recalling carefully what he had said and what Madam Xu had replied...

"Mo Yi!"

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be sisters Zhao Yunkai and Zhao Yunqing.

"I heard from Aunt Zhao that you were here, but I couldn't find you for a long time." Since they met at the Zhao family, Mo Yi has met the Zhao sisters twice and they get along very well.

"We were pulled aside by our aunt to talk. Eh? Who is this person..."

"My third sister."

"Oh, Miss Mo is so pretty!"

Mo Wen smiled and thought that the girl from the Zhao family was quite cheerful.

Now that everything was fine, the group went to watch dancing. On the way, they met several more people, including Zhang Xianlin, and soon, the place became lively and noisy.

The Mo family girl never thought that she could easily blend into such an occasion.

Finally, the gong sounded, signaling lunch time.

The Zhao sisters pulled them along as if they were familiar with the place: "Let's sit together."

There is a table in the long awning.

Coincidentally, County Lady Wenfang was sitting opposite them.

As usual, we have to get to know each other better.

Princess Wenfang was of high status, so someone asked her why she didn't see her mother. Didn't the Princess of the County come?

She said nonchalantly, "My mother must have come, otherwise how could I come? But I still like to be with my sisters. Eh? The three girls opposite look unfamiliar, where are you from?"

She asked others directly but not herself.

Just now, Wang Ruhan introduced himself first and then asked others.

This girl is quite rude.

"Miss, are you asking about us sisters?" Mo Wen said, smiling, "Our last name is Mo."

"Oh? The last name is Mo...how come I have never heard of it? Who is your father?"

Mo Wen was about to speak when Mo Yi pressed his hand. Mo Yuan next to him said, "Oh, why are you just asking questions? We don't even know who you are talking to."

Her words were quite harsh, and the surroundings fell silent...

"This is the imperially conferred Princess Wenfang, the granddaughter of the Grand Princess." There are lackeys to pave the way for her.

Mo Yuan was really frightened... "It turns out to be the county princess. I'm so sorry!" Her tone softened.

The lackey was assigned, "County Lady, Mo Jia, even if I told you, you wouldn't know. Besides, I heard that these three girls came here by themselves today, and none of their elders came with them..."

Some people who loved to stir up trouble covered their mouths and chuckled.

In such social occasions, unmarried girls should be accompanied by their elders, even if they are their sisters-in-law!

It is rare to hear of unmarried girls, or those who are engaged but not married, going out to socialize on their own.

This is not a rule only for the rich and powerful. Ordinary people... unless they are rural women, are basically like this.

Princess Wenfang said, "Oh, this is rare!" The people around her also laughed.

She hated the Mo family so much! Together: one wanted to marry the one she chose, and the other wanted to marry the one her grandmother chose for her.

In other words, we don’t know anything about Liang You yet, otherwise, who knows how angry he would be.

Some who didn't know the truth were already whispering, "I guess they're not a very sophisticated family, otherwise how could they do things like this!"

"Yes! Of course she would be unhappy if she sat face to face with the county lady..."

How would Mo Yi know what the county lord meant?

A little depressed: How does our coming here bother her?

Mo Wen and Mo Yuan also understood that the other party was deliberately targeting them. Aunt Zhao said that some people were targeted for no reason, just because they had the power and were happy...

"Yunkai." Mo Yi decided to ignore the other party's words and said to Zhao Yunkai through Mo Yuan, "What do you think of that dancer? If he throws it out, what should he do if he can't catch it?"

"Ah?" Zhao Yunkai didn't understand. She was angry. What was Princess Wending going to do? But she didn't know how to fight back.

"And the one who's spinning around, what if he faints after spinning around so many times?" Mo Yi continued to ask.

Mo Yuan understood what Mo Yi meant, and said sarcastically: "Look at how much you care about! What does this have to do with you?"

"Oh... yes! It's really none of my business." Mo Yi smiled. Mo Yuan was still awesome...

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This family was really unrefined...

They have forgotten that they themselves are not particular.

"County Lady, it's so vulgar... ignore them." The person next to her whispered in her ear, but people who were nearby could also hear it.

Mo Yuan is not afraid of these things. As long as Mo Yi dares to take the lead, she will follow.

My Mo Yi is the future princess, okay? I can’t stop you from being crushed!

"Come on, let's eat. It's the rule not to talk while eating!" She started eating without saying a word.

After an awkward meal and a short rest, everyone went to the lake.

The wind blew across the lake, creating ripples.

Some people were fishing, and some were watching.

There are two targets hanging on the open space next to it, where you can throw darts.

Kites of all sizes fly over the lake.

There was also a circus troupe, performing tricks as they walked around, and people followed and watched, cheering.

The girls came together, but gradually, as they were interested in different things, they drifted apart.

Mo Wen's steps were not slow, but aimless: Since Xu Ke had official business, he would most likely take on the responsibility of guarding. Last time I heard from Aunt Xu that he had been promoted to a higher level, could he be leading people on patrol?

Where can I meet him?

She analyzed it herself and walked around.

Mo Yi looked at the lake. At this moment, clouds appeared and blocked the sun.

Large lotus flowers are in bloom and have begun to form lotus pods.

It’s so beautiful…

After walking for a while, I looked back, but I couldn't see my two sisters and the Zhao sisters anymore. I didn't know what they were doing.

It's rare...

She took a deep breath and walked along the path alone, feeling a bit like she was among flowers and willows.

We walked further and further away, and there was no one around. On both sides of the path were reeds more than a meter tall.

Just as I was about to go back, I suddenly saw a pile of clothes and a pair of shoes neatly folded on the ground in front of me.

Those shoes should be made by a special shoe store. They are exquisite and regular, and judging by the size, they are probably for young people.

Why is it placed here?

Someone went into the water?!

Look at the water, no one is there...

It sank?!

"Oh my God! Someone help me!" Mo Yi's scalp was numb and he was so frightened that he shouted as loud as he could, but his voice was weak and could not be heard far away.

Looking back at the road I came from, the grass and trees were desolate, and the path was winding. There seemed to be voices, but I couldn't see anyone at all.

She didn't dare to go into the water and subconsciously wanted to run out to call for help.

Suddenly, I saw a bubble appearing on the water surface about six or seven steps away.

"Is there really someone there?! Someone come quickly!" He ran back, tripped, looked down, and saw a long bamboo pole under his feet.

At that moment, he didn't even bother to call for help, and used a bamboo pole to save him! However, he didn't expect that the long bamboo pole was quite heavy, and he couldn't lift it up at once, and he stumbled and almost slipped.

Bad luck!

He steadied his body, picked up the pole, and waded into the water.

After looking around, I realized that it was still some distance away from where the bubbles appeared, so I had to get off the road.

Fortunately, there were rocks by the lake so we didn’t have to go into the water.

Holding the long pole with both hands, he poked forward.

As a result, she really poked it! There was something in the water... Because when she poked it, it would move.

quick!

He didn't dare to push forward anymore, but instead paddled sideways, hoping that he could pull the person up.

But she didn't have much strength at all, her body swayed, and she stepped on empty air. If she hadn't been quickly supported, she would have fallen into the water.

But one shoe and the hem of her skirt got wet.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Bai Mei said: bring a few pairs of shoes.

Who would have thought that it could really get wet.

He steadied himself and then started pulling again.

There is no movement. Could he be dead?

Thinking that he might be dragging a dead person, he called out in a trembling voice: "Someone come..."

However, she heard cheers from afar, but no one came over.

Frightened and desperate, he pulled with all his might.

Suddenly, something began to struggle in the water, and her bamboo pole was pulled, giving her the ability to resist!

Surprised and delighted, he hurried to Gala.

Sure enough, there was one hanging on the end of the pole!

"Oh my god!? This is real..."

He quickly pulled it back, and one end of the bamboo pole came ashore with a sound.

Fortunately, the other person held on tightly and we reached the shore in no time.

He is indeed a short man, probably a teenager!

"Hey! How are you?"

The young man must have exhausted all his strength. He lay face down on the water, floating with the waves.

Don't die! Mo Yi grabbed him and dragged him to the stone at his feet.

"Wake up!" he said as he turned him over with force.

Now, she saw this person clearly...
