Xia Zhiliao was delighted by his brothers' praise.
Xia Jiang took a sip but looked like he had something to say.
"Isn't it tasty?" Xia Zhiliao asked.
"It tastes good, how can it not taste good? I was wondering if I should send some to Brother Wen." Xia Jiang said.
Xia Zhiliao was about to retort, but unexpectedly Princess Yiyang spoke up, "Yes, yes, send some to him as well."
Xia Jiang was immediately happy, "Sister, do you want to send her off or should I?"
Xia Zhiliao laughed dryly twice, "You suggested it, so of course you should go and deliver it."
"Okay, I'll go and deliver it." Xia Jiang looked doting. After all, it was his sister who did it, so Brother Wen would definitely be very happy.
Xia Zhiliao is too lazy to care now. It will not be useful if she chooses to distance herself from Wen Heng.
After all, everyone knows that she and Wen Heng have a good relationship.
So even if she tried her best to explain, it seemed to be useless.
And this is an indisputable fact.
Do whatever you want.
Even if she lives so cautiously, she will still be plotted against. In that case, she might as well just do what she wants.
What Xia Jiang didn't know was that in Wen Heng's tent, there was not only Wen Heng, but also Wen Chao.
Wen Chao looked at the only bowl of milk tea, and watched Wen Heng take a big sip eagerly, "Is it delicious?"
Wen Heng smiled and pretended not to understand his expression, "It tastes good."
"Ahem..." Wen Chao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Jiang again and again.
But Xia Jiang is a dull guy, and he only has Wen Heng in his heart.
As for the Ninth Prince and the Eighth Prince, they have nothing to do with them.
These are people they met only after their family's lives became better.
But Wen Heng is different. He is the one who helped their brothers when they were bullied.
How can the feelings be the same?
Wen Chao also knew this, but the Xia family was too stingy. Couldn’t they just send two bowls of milk tea?
This thing is not valuable, is it necessary to do this?
"Where is Xia Zhiliao?" Wen Chao opened his mouth with a lot of resentment.
"She's with my grandmother. She said she's going to go fishing and make some boiled fish!"
"She only loves eating." Wen Chao said, "I've never seen a young lady who loves eating as much as she does."
Wen Heng smiled and said, "I have never seen a prince who looked resentful because he didn't get to drink milk tea."
"I..." Wen Chao pouted, "Who is resentful? You know why you don't give me some to taste."
"This is for me, why should I share it with you?" Wen Heng said with a smile.
Wen Chao curled his lips, "No wonder you two are inseparable, you seem to be the same kind of people, stingy people."
I'll scratch you to death.
However, although he complained, when Wen Heng said that he also wanted to go fishing, he followed him.
If not for anything else but fishing, what will I do if I have any boiled fish to eat later?
Xia Zhiliao didn't expect that the two of them would come, but she let them come, as long as they didn't scare away her fish.
"Are there any fish in the water? Why can't I see any?" Wen Chao was an impatient man and became a little impatient after waiting for a while.
Xia Zhiliao was leaning calmly on the recliner, looking particularly relaxed, with a big umbrella above his head. Of course, he didn't want someone to hold it, as that would be too tiring, so he just stuck it into the ground and held it with stones. As long as there was not too strong wind, it would be very firm.
And she can also eat snacks and wait for the fish to bite.
The young ladies were reciting poems, playing the piano and dancing there, and she felt that such days were comfortable.
It is better to please yourself than to please others.
In the middle, she once disliked Wen Chao for being too noisy and drove him away.
Wen Heng was very quiet, but his presence was so strong that it could not be ignored. However, he did not disturb Xia Zhi after all, so he was still there.
Xia Zhiliao squinted for a while, then opened his eyes and glanced at Wen Heng who was also waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Wen Heng noticed her gaze, but didn't say anything.
[It’s almost time, the young lady should be here! ]
Wen Heng frowned slightly and looked around. Where was the girl?
But the little girl always gets it right, so she should be there this time too.
Just when he was curious, two girls really walked to the lakeside. They seemed to be a master and servant.
Wen Heng seemed to have guessed what was going to happen next.
Even though Xia Zhiliao didn't say it.
Xia Zhiliao stared with eyes wide open. The girl didn't see them and was playing with her maids. As a result, she accidentally stepped on empty air and slipped directly into the lake.
The maidservant was very anxious, "Someone, help, save my young lady."
Xia Zhiliao looked at Wen Heng and said, "Someone is shouting for help."
Wen Heng nodded, "Oh!"
"Aren't you going to save people?" Xia Zhiliao asked.
Wen Heng raised his eyebrows, "I can choose not to save him."
"hiss……"
Xia Jiang was a good man, and when he saw this, he was about to jump into the lake, but was stopped by Wen Heng, "Do you want to marry her?"
"I... Of course I don't."
"Then go find someone." Wen Heng said.
Xia Jiang was a little confused, but fortunately he listened to Wen Heng very much.
Wen Heng noticed Xia Zhiliao was looking at him, "I can't swim."
[You're lying. I clearly saw you saving someone.]
"If you fall in, I will be able to swim. If it's not you, I won't be able to swim."
The maid over there seemed to have seen them as well, and shouted loudly at them, "Help, help, help my young lady."
However, Wen Heng remained indifferent.
Xia Zhiliao didn't know what to say.
She really couldn't swim, and she was just a child, so she couldn't save the girl at all.
Fortunately, Xia Jiang and his men rushed over.
The soldiers quickly jumped into the water to rescue people.
Soon, the person was fished out, and he was not dead, just choked by water and fell unconscious.
The maid looked at Wen Heng with some resentment. However, she was a servant after all, and she did not dare to blame Wen Heng for not helping the girl.
But that look was accusing him of inaction.
"Miss, Miss..."
Wen Heng glanced at Xia Zhiliao. Since the person was fine, there was no need for him to stay here.
Xia Zhiliao was about to leave with Wen Heng, but heard someone calling behind her.
"Your Highness, please stay."
Wen Heng's eyes turned cold and he turned around slowly, "What's the matter?"
"I don't know why Your Highness would watch someone die without helping." The person who spoke was an old lady. Xia Zhiliao only remembered that she had seen her before, and that she was of a high status. Presumably, the maid had told her about the situation just now.
Only now did he angrily question Wen Heng.
Wen Heng sneered, "Why should I save her?"
"She nearly fell into the water and died."
"If you can't swim, why are you playing around by the lake? Didn't Miss Gu think that she would fall into the water? Madam Gu accused me of not saving her, so why do you think I have the ability to save her? If I died saving her, wouldn't it be unfair? Besides, I didn't stand by and watch her die. I have already asked someone to call someone who can swim."
Xia Zhiliao couldn't stand it anymore. This old lady did it on purpose.
She remembered that this old lady was Wen Huai's grandmother.
