The lake water was extremely cold in winter, which was especially deadly for Sheng Shuyan who could not swim. She struggled in the water in panic and called for help, desperately trying to grab anything to support herself.

Wen Zhu, who had secretly learned the dog paddle and treading water techniques from children outside the village since he was a child, used this little swimming ability to save himself.

Although she herself was not a very good swimmer, it was enough to prevent her from drowning at the critical moment.

At the same time, she pretended to try to rescue Sheng Shuyan next to her, but in fact she wanted to drag her to a farther and deeper place.

Two maids in the distance noticed the unusual situation and rushed over to rescue them. After some effort, they finally succeeded in pulling the two girls who were almost frozen to death from the water back to the shore.

A lot of people gathered around to watch, and the crowd grew larger and larger, with people talking a lot.

The servants in the Prince's Mansion rushed in and put clothes on the girls who fell into the water to keep them a little warmer.

"Hurry up! Take them to the warm room to rest immediately, prepare more charcoal for warmth, and quickly make a bowl of cold-repelling tea for them."

The butler nervously ordered, a hint of anxiety and concern in his voice.

After Wen Zhu was quickly sent to the warm little house, she still couldn't stop shivering; although the surrounding environment was warm and comfortable, the coldness in her body seemed unable to dissipate easily.

On the other hand, Sheng Shuyan looked very weak because she swallowed a lot of cold water. She was pale and even needed servants to help her squeeze out the water in her stomach before she could be carried away for further treatment.

After changing into clean clothes, Wen Zhu, wearing new clothes and wrapped in a blanket, sat by the fire but was still shivering, even though the heat from the fire made her feel warm.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the princess and the queen walked into the room, looking at the two frightened children with concern.

"What's going on? How did you get into such a mess?"

The princess first looked at Wen Zhu, who was curled up and trembling, with a look full of sympathy, and then looked at another girl who seemed to be in the same bad condition and asked, trying to find out the reason for the incident.

"I... originally wanted to save the second young lady... but my swimming skills are not good, so I couldn't do it..." Wen Zhu spoke intermittently, her words full of self-blame and unwillingness.

After learning the whole story, the two distinguished ladies exchanged glances.

"Send Doctor Qin here immediately!"

The princess gave the order decisively, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

After drinking the hot tea, Wen Zhu felt that his body was finally warming up and he felt much more comfortable.

Next, as the warmth and sense of security gradually returned, the princess and the queen mother asked her about her specific condition in detail, and Wen Zhu truthfully reported her situation and all the details that happened at that time.

At this moment, "Who is the real lady? Who is the maid?! Mother, why... don't you cherish me?"

Sheng Shuyan suddenly questioned her mother with obvious dissatisfaction, her voice full of confusion and grievance.

"Be quiet! As the eldest daughter in the family, how can you be angry with a concubine? Doing so will only make people laugh at you, and it will not do you any good."

The Duke's wife spoke these words gently but sternly, hoping to calm the small dispute caused by the accident.

Hearing this, Sheng Shuyan pursed her lips, tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't let go of the grievance in her heart for a while.

The Duke's wife no longer paid any attention to her, but looked at Wen Zhu with hopeful eyes.

At that moment, Wen Zhu suddenly understood something. A hint of nervousness flashed across her face, and she hurriedly and shyly explained to the Duke's wife, "Madam, please don't have too high expectations. I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

"Don't think too much. What you need most now is to rest well."

The lady said gently and lovingly.

Her voice was as soft as water, soothing Wen Zhu's heart like a warm spring breeze.

After hearing this, Wen Zhu felt a little relieved, and the tension and uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated.

Soon, Doctor Qin arrived.

He walked into the room with steady steps, his expression serious and focused.

"Let's see her first."

The Princess pointed at Wen Zhu and spoke to Doctor Qin, a hint of concern in her tone.

Hearing this, Doctor Qin nodded slightly and quickly entered the diagnosis and treatment state.

Faced with this situation, Sheng Shuyan could only shut her mouth unwillingly.

She pursed her lips, a hint of dissatisfaction and unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but she remained silent.

Then, Doctor Qin walked over to Wen Zhu and gently pressed her wrist to take her pulse.

His technique was skillful and delicate, as if he could capture the subtle changes in Wen Zhu's body with every move.

After a moment, Doctor Qin stood up, bowed respectfully, and said solemnly: "Reporting to the Princess of the County and the Lady of the Duke, this is a sign of pregnancy."

"That's great news! That's fantastic!"

The Princess was so excited that she almost jumped up, and her excitement was beyond words.

Her voice was clear and pleasant, and the whole room was filled with an atmosphere of joy.

"But she just fell into cold water. Will this cause any harm to the fetus?"

The Duke's wife asked anxiously, her tone full of worry and concern.

Her eyes were fixed on Doctor Qin, afraid of missing any word.

"It does have some negative effects, but she has always been in good health. She just needs to calm down and rest."

Doctor Qin explained patiently.

His voice was calm and convincing, which made everyone feel much more at ease.

After receiving the news, the Duke's wife's eyes immediately lit up - this was the first grandson or granddaughter she had been looking forward to for a long time!

Her eyes sparkled with excitement and happiness, as if she saw hope for her family's future.

"Then please prescribe some medicine to help me stay pregnant."

The Duke's wife asked with a smile, her tone gentle and earnest.

Her heart was filled with anticipation and gratitude.

Doctor Qin nodded slightly, "Okay."

Then, he carefully wrote the prescription, writing every word clearly and carefully.

After finishing all the things, he could finally start taking care of Sheng Shuyan who was waiting patiently by the side.

But at this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to another focus - Wen Zhu.

They only showed some insignificant care in a perfunctory and symbolic manner to the person who actually deserved more care.

In the following time, in order to ensure the safe return of the two young ladies, the Prince's Mansion specially prepared two very soft and comfortable sedan chairs. The staff carefully settled the two young ladies before officially setting off.

After arriving at the destination, according to the pre-arranged plan, the servants sent Sheng Shuyan to a quiet and peaceful place like Guanshuiyuan for her to have a good rest; at the same time, another guest received better treatment and was respectfully guided to the luxurious attic in Qingshanyuan, where he enjoyed a carefully decorated and warm environment.
