"Why are they here?"

Jiang Ranli raised his head and asked the Fourteenth Prince beside him, while in his heart he complained about why he was so tall, and his neck hurt from tilting his head back to speak.

The Fourteenth Prince shook his head. As far as he knew, the Fourth Brother and the Ninth Brother had both been entrusted with important tasks by the Emperor recently. How come the Ninth Brother had no time to come, but the Fourth Brother and the Thirteenth Brother came?

Just as the Fourteenth Prince was thinking to himself, Yinzhen, the Tenth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and Wu Yanqing arrived at the river.

Yinzhen jumped off his horse, his clear eyes glanced at a pair of embroidered shoes by the river, then his handsome brows slightly frowned, and his gaze fell on Jiang Ranli in the river.

Being looked at like this by him, Jiang Ranli couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling, and her body unconsciously took two steps back. At this moment, the door of the carriage was suddenly pushed open, and two little heads popped out as if by magic.

Jiang Ranli was not mentally prepared, and he lost his balance when he retreated, and fell into the water with a splash.

"Li'er..."

Seeing this, the Tenth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and Wu Yanqing called out her name in unison and made as if to jump into the water, but someone was quicker than them and Yinzhen had already stepped into the water.

As early as when Jiang Ranli fell, the Fourteenth Prince reacted, threw away the wooden stick with the fish in his hand, and grabbed Jiang Ranli's wrist.

However, he did not pull Jiang Ranli out of the water. He just stood in front of her, blocking the view of several people by the river.

"The river water is cold and she has just recovered from a serious injury. Pull her up quickly."

Yinzhen came to Jiang Ranli and wanted to get close to her, but was blocked by the Fourteenth Prince.

His eyes met with Yinzhen's, and the Fourteenth Prince said, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother. Just leave Li'er to me. Fourth Brother, Tenth Brother, Thirteenth Prince, Young Master Wu, Fifteenth Prince, and Sixteenth Prince, please turn around. I will take Li'er to the shore."

As he spoke, the Fourteenth Prince's eyes shifted to the Tenth, Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth Princes and Wu Yanqing. His voice was calm, but also revealed an unquestionable tone.

The Tenth Prince naturally had no objection to what his Fourteenth Brother said. He immediately turned around and locked the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Brothers back into the carriage, not allowing them to show their heads.

Wu Yanqing was concerned about Jiang Ranli. He wanted to go into the water to save her, but he was a step too slow. Now the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were both in the river, and there was no place for him to stand. So, in order for Jiang Ranli to get ashore as soon as possible, he turned around, but his big hands were slightly clenched.

The Thirteenth Prince was still hesitating. He felt that there was an unclear smoke of war lingering between his Fourth Brother and the Fourteenth Prince, and he was a little worried.

Yinzhen lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Ranli, who was blocked behind by the Fourteenth Prince, his eyes full of struggle.

"Fourth brother, Li'er has just recovered from a serious injury. You should go ashore quickly. The river water on the grassland comes from the snow-capped mountains and is very cold. Li'er is weak and cannot stay in the water for too long." The Fourteenth Prince looked determined and showed that he would never give in.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen clenched his hands hanging by his side. He did not speak for a long time, nor did he show any intention of turning around and leaving.

When the Fourteenth Prince saw this, he frowned and spoke very rudely, "Fourth brother, please move aside."

At this point, Yinzhen's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Jiang Ranli, whose lips were pale, and said, "She hasn't married yet. Is it appropriate for you to take her out?"

Hearing this, Fourteenth Prince frowned. In the eyes of his brothers, Jiang Ranli was a girl who had run away from home and escaped marriage but had never really gotten married. Now that his fourth brother had said this, he had no way of refutation.
