Recently, this guy Yan Zhuo has been acting a bit intriguing...
However, facing death, Jiang Ying didn't care about all these messes. He opened the curtain, entered the carriage, and immediately started to rescue.
First, he gave Mu Zijin some spiritual spring water for emergency treatment. When he found that she was still conscious of swallowing, he gave her another Huiyuan Pill. Then he instructed Siyu to help with artificial respiration while she performed cardiopulmonary compression herself.
Jiang Yuanchen was driven out. As it involved a life, he was a little uneasy.
From time to time he turned his head to look through the crack in the door, only to hear some busy rustling inside, but he couldn't see clearly what was going on.
But Jiang Yuanchen firmly believed that his sister would be able to rescue Mu Girl!
In front, Yan Zhuo did not give way, and escorted Jiang Ying like a stabilizing force.
No matter how wicked Madam Mu was, she would not dare to openly oppose the current prince.
In the end, he could only stay and watch, and sent his personal servant to quickly call Old Master Mu. After all, this old man was a minister, and although he had retired for several years, he still had the face of a minister.
Moreover, Mr. Mu’s position as the chief academic officer of the Imperial College was not low.
After a while, Grandma Mu was seen hurriedly walking out with the help of Mu Wanbai. At this time, Mu Zijin, who had performed the last cardiopulmonary compression, spit out a mouthful of dirty water, and then slowly woke up...
"Where am I?"
"Miss Mu, thank God, you are finally alive!"
Siyu felt as if her mouth was cramped from blowing so much air, and when she turned around, she saw that her mistress was so tired that she couldn't speak!
There was a thin layer of sweat on his face, and the hem of his clothes was completely soaked because it was pressed tightly against his muzijin.
He had been exerting too much force just now, so his hair was messy and looked a little untidy.
Finally, Mu Zijin came over and said something. She also heard the voice of Old Lady Mu negotiating outside. She was startled and sat up quickly, "Miss Jiang, you saved me? No, no, I have to get out quickly. I can't let you be blamed by my mother and grandfather because of me!"
She had recalled a series of events that had happened in the afternoon.
Mu Wanbai came in front of her inexplicably and told her to be quiet and not to covet things that did not belong to her because of her low status!
Especially Jiang Yuanchen.
The two of them were reciting poems to each other in the Imperial College, under the flowers and the moon, Jiang Yuanchen only had her in his heart. Don't use those tricks that are not presentable like a foxy woman to seduce her sweetheart. If it happens again, her aunt will be in great trouble!
Mu Zijin was feeding fish at the time, and was so angry that she said, "Who is my sister's sweetheart? Isn't it the second son of the Qinwang Mansion?"
As a result, he was immediately pushed hard by Mu Wanbai, and his lower back hit the railing. He dodged but did not fall into the water.
Mu Wanbai raised her hand and threw the fish food all over her body. "Feed the fish? You are the fish on the chopping board, right? I'll say this for the last time. Jiang Yuanchen is mine. Stay away from him. Otherwise, if you feed the fish with fish food today, I'll use you to feed the fish someday!"
Mu Zijin understood Mu Wanbai. She was not just talking, she could really do it!
So I was very confused, but I didn't dare go back immediately to let my aunt see and worry, so I continued to sit in the pavilion.
Who would have thought that about an incense stick later, Grandma Hua, who was beside He, came with two burly maids. They walked up to her and without saying a word, pulled her and threw her into the lake!
Mu Zijin couldn't swim, and she was choking on water and shouting for help, but Grandma Hua held her maid tightly and prevented Jinxiu from saving her.
The servants around walked by with their heads down, pretending they saw and heard nothing!
Grandma Hua gnashed her teeth and said, "Go die. Don't come looking for me when you become a ghost. It's because my lady is not used to seeing you!"
"You actually hooked up with the young lady's future husband and came to your house to plead for you?
"He also flatly denied that he and the young lady had a close relationship when they were in school!
"It must be you, the vixen. You, like your mother, used despicable methods to seduce a man's heart. The eldest lady is soft-hearted and dares not do anything to you. Madam is not that kind of person!
"Don't be afraid when you go today. Your sickly mother will be here to accompany you soon!"
After hearing this, Mu Zijin's heart skipped a beat and he concluded that his day was over.
It’s over, it’s over. After walking on thin ice for so many years, I still can’t escape the clutches of my powerful stepmother!
By then, she had spit out countless saliva, felt dizzy, her lungs felt like they were on fire, her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them, and her hands and feet were so sore and weak from constantly fiddling around.
Mu Zijin was unwilling to give up the struggle, but there was nothing she could do. She hoped that her aunt would not be too sad when she heard the bad news.
She relaxed, and her whole body sank quickly to the bottom like a heavy object dropped into water.
Everything was quiet in her ears, and it had nothing to do with her...
But at this moment, someone jumped into the water with a splash!
Mu Zijin slowly sank to the bottom of the water. Her consciousness was already blurred. She couldn't see who that person was, nor did she know why he jumped down. The only thing she was aware of was that there seemed to be a beam of light behind that person, swimming towards her!
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Jiang Ying and her maid.
She thought it was Jiang Ying who saved her.
Although the person who entered the water was a man, Mu Zijin didn't think too much about it.
"No! You can't go out!" Jiang Ying came over and hugged Mu Zijin's legs.
Mu Zijin, "..."
This posture was too embarrassing, if she couldn't let her benefactor be so humble.
So Mu Zijin turned around, squatted down, and said firmly, "Miss Jiang, I have to go out, otherwise my family will definitely blame you. I can't accept your kindness and still cause trouble for you."
Although she is just a concubine's daughter, she still has a basic conscience.
Moreover, she knew very well how vengeful He was, and her father didn't care about anything else except teaching and studying, so He was the one who ran the whole house.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying stood up, patted her face, and drank a cup of what looked like cold tea to outsiders, but was actually her space spiritual spring water!
Finally recovered 70% to 80% of my strength.
Helping her to sit on the couch, she said, "That's why you can't go out now.
"My second brother has been saved. If he wanted to hold a grudge, he would have already been held responsible. It is not something that can be offset by you leaving now. On the contrary, if they dared to let you die the first time, they would definitely dare to let you die the second time. Do you want to make my second brother and my efforts go to waste?"
"You...your second brother???" Mu Zijin's eyes widened in surprise.
Could it be that the person who jumped into the water to save her was Miss Jiang’s second brother?
Jiang...Jiang Yuanchen!
When this name flashed through his mind, Mu Zijin immediately felt dizzy and as if he was going to pass out at any moment!
Why did it have to be him? This time, He Shi and Mu Wanbai must dislike her even more!
They used to be suspicious, but now... Hey! They can't wash themselves clean even if they jump into the Yellow River!
Mu Zijin hesitated. The courage she had just mustered up was gradually drained away when she learned that the person who saved her was Jiang Yuanchen.
Jiang Ying took advantage of her hesitation and quickly explained, "Your best choice now is to continue pretending to be unconscious. I will tell them that your life is fine, but it will take time for you to wake up.
"This way you don't have to face their accusations, and it can also temporarily make them relax their vigilance and stop attacking you.
"As for my second brother, it's just a few quarrels and arguments. At most, there will be a few more rumors about my second brother. It's not a big deal."
Mu Zijin understood what Jiang Ying meant, but she couldn't accept it with peace of mind. "Miss Jiang, what have I done to deserve such help from you, Mr. Jiang Er?"
"Want to thank us?"
"Um."
"Only if you survive will you have the chance to thank us!" Jiang Ying put down the tea bowl, pushed the door open and walked out of the carriage without further delay.
Jiang Yuanchen suddenly got off the carriage, but did not go far.
Not far away, Mu Chong, Mu Yunyuan, He Shi and Mu Wanbai were all deadlocked in their arguments, and no one gave in.
Seeing Jiang Ying coming out, Mu Wanbai's eyes flashed with disgust, and she shouted: "Miss Jiang, we in the Mu family have no grudges against you, please hand over my concubine's sister's body!"
She was certain that Mu Zijin would not survive.
He was drowned for such a long time that his chest was not rising or falling. How could he still be alive?
It was because he couldn't survive that they had to get the body back, to prevent Jiang Ying and others from using it as a handle to harm the Mu family.
If this had happened in the past, Mu Wanbai would not have been so anxious because she knew that Jiang Yuanchen liked her.
But now... after Jiang Yuanchen repeatedly ignored or rejected her, Mu Wanbai suddenly became unsure. She felt guilty...
Jiang Ying was about to jump off the carriage, but Jiang Yuanchen saw him and came to catch him.
Yan Zhuo's eyes deepened.
Jiang Ying stood still, with a half-smile on his face, and his eyes swept over the faces of the Mu family and others, "Oh? The body? Do you hope that Mu Zijin is dead so much?
"Unfortunately, my medical skills are pretty good. As long as the drowning time is less than an incense stick, I can definitely save the person!"
"Miss Mu, you were lucky to meet my second brother first, and then to meet me. Of course, everything turned out well and you came back to life!"
“What? She’s not dead!” Not only Mu Wanbai, but also He Shi exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Ying took a few steps forward, getting closer to the Mu family and almost standing on the same level as Yan Zhuo.
Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, "It seems that Madam Mu, as the legal mother, is hoping that the concubine's daughter will die soon?
“That’s right, it didn’t crawl out of my stomach. After all, there is a layer between them.
"But Madam Mu has been in the harem for too long and doesn't understand the law. Doesn't Lord Mu understand it either? Killing innocent people will cost you your life!"
Just a few words instantly terrified the entire Mu family.
Mu Wanbai pursed her lips, obviously no longer as arrogant as before, "You... don't talk nonsense, Mu Zijin is my sister, a girl from the Mu Mansion, how could we not hope for her well? She was clearly the one who accidentally fell into the water while feeding the fish, and made us worried, how could it be our fault? Isn't she fine now? Call her out and see if it's what I said, and everything will naturally fall into place."
As she spoke, Mu Wanbai had already chuckled in her heart.
Tsk, Mu Zijin, what a waste, even if she dares not to say anything nonsense!
