With a few "splashes", the three of them fell into the lake together.
Su Yue hurried to catch him, but was pinned to the ground by two old women, unable to move.
The commotion at the lakeside pavilion finally disturbed the others. People who were enjoying themselves by the lake pointed and asked, "Hey, did someone fall into the water?"
"It seems so, hurry up and save him!"
Jiang Xuejun stood by the lake and immediately shouted, "Quick, go save them!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a servant jumped into the lake and swam quickly towards Fang Qi who had fallen into the water.
Her maid whispered, "That Xu Wanruo even dragged Miss Qiu and Miss Du into the water with her. What if the servant caught the wrong person..."
Jiang Xuejun's eyes were vicious. "That's what they deserved, two idiots. Even with so many people against her, one of them could still be dragged into the water. Find two more skilled women who can swim to rescue her. But make sure they recognize her clearly. Xu Wanruo has to be saved by those two servants."
"yes!"
Immediately afterwards, two more women jumped down and swam over quickly to save people.
Wanruo fell into the water and choked on the water, then she was able to float on her own. She had followed her father to the mountains to collect herbs since she was a child, and she also knew how to swim.
She shook off the two ladies who fell into the water and asked for help, turned around and was about to swim to the shore, but unexpectedly, she found that a servant quickly blocked her way.
"Don't be afraid, girl. I'm here to save you!" The first servant to be hit was a young man with a fat face, staring at her with lustful eyes.
Wanruo immediately felt a chill all over her body. She finally knew what their plan was.
If she was really carried ashore by this man in public, soaking wet, her reputation would be ruined. She would either marry him or commit suicide.
The man pounced on her and grabbed her wrist, preventing her from escaping.
Wanruo took out a silver needle from her waist and stabbed it into the man's hand.
The man screamed in pain and let go of her hand. She kicked him again, kicked him away, turned around and swam quickly to the shore.
The man wanted to chase after her, but he found that his right hand, which had been pricked by the needle, was numb and he had no strength at all. He could only watch her escape.
Jiang Xuejun was waiting by the lake. Seeing Wanruo swimming to the shore alone, his face became much uglier.
"What's going on?! She can actually swim? Where's Wang Fugui? Is he a freeloader? How can he not even stop a woman?"
"This, this servant doesn't know..."
Seeing Xu Wanruo had already successfully climbed ashore, Jiang Xuejun could only swallow his breath and said, "Hold down that girl Su Yue. Don't let her go to deliver her clothes. Xie Xiuzhu is meddling in other people's business. Have you sent her away?"
"The servant has already done it."
Jiang Xuejun sneered, "That's good. I won't let her marry a servant one day, and I will ruin her reputation! She'll be kicked out of the courtyard in disarray."
The Xie family would not allow a dishonest woman with a ruined reputation to enter the house, even as a concubine.
In spring, clothes are thin and stick to the body as soon as they get wet. The delicate skin underneath is clearly visible through the transparent parts.
Wanruo climbed out of the lake and shivered all over when the cold wind blew. The lake water was icy cold and made her feel numb all over. Her legs and feet were weak and she couldn't even stand up.
She looked around but didn't see Su Yue.
Instead, some frivolous young men looked at her wet body with teasing eyes.
Wanruo knew that she had been plotted against that day and they would not let her off easily. She did not care that she was soaked all over and tried to stand up by supporting herself on the ground and get out.
The worst that can happen is that my reputation gets ruined and I can just move out of Xie's house.
But the next moment, a figure rushed out in a hurry, took off his cloak and covered her with it.
Wan Ruo looked up in surprise: "Lin Han?"
"Is the girl okay?"
Lin Han was originally waiting outside the manor, thinking that maybe he could meet Wanruo when she came to the mansion, and he also had something to say to her.
