Jiang Shijin couldn't swim either. He wanted to jump into the pool, but he couldn't make up his mind.
I might as well close my eyes and wait to die.
That letter is still in the study. He's dead, and even Young Master Zhong can't escape unscathed.
A chilling sword aura rushed towards him, and just when he thought he was about to die, he heard the whooshing sound of air being pierced.
Then came screams and thuds as people fell to the ground.
Upon opening their eyes, they saw that those people had a dagger stuck in their forehead, throat, or chest, and they died quickly.
Jiang Shijing looked around in surprise, wondering where the expert was hiding to help him.
Just then, he felt his scalp tighten, as if something had grabbed his hair. He staggered and knelt on the ground, his body was dragged into the pool again, and his head was pushed into the water.
Large gulps of water were poured into his chest cavity, his lungs felt like they were on fire and were burning and agonizing. Gradually, he lost consciousness.
Qiao Lian'er first dragged Jiang Shijing into the water, and then dragged him into the space.
Pei Shijiu sat on a stone bench in the space, fiddling with a dagger in his hand.
"What about the others?"
Qiao Lian'er thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about it. Find someone to send Jiang Shijing back to the Jiang family and tell them what happened here. Let's gain the upper hand."
Amidst the chaotic fight, seeing Jiang Shijing's body sink into the water, Young Master Zhong knew that his mission was accomplished.
He raised his hand, stopping the performance.
Seeing the daggers stuck in his men's bodies, Young Master Zhong couldn't help but feel puzzled. Had someone else gotten involved?
But there was no one around.
It seems that Jiang Shijing was prepared and made a last-ditch effort.
So what? It's still the same ending—death.
Thinking that no one would compete with him for Jiang Shuxue's dowry anymore, Young Master Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
What he did today was somewhat risky, but no one has any evidence that he did it, and the benefits he gained far outweighed the risks.
"Clean this up and let's go back."
Several people carried Jiang Shijing to the Jiang family's gate.
Jiang Shijing was soaking wet, his stomach was swollen with water, and he was on the verge of death.
Upon hearing the news, Lord Jiang immediately rushed back from the yamen.
The physician in the manor was busy giving Jiang Shijing emergency treatment. First, he drained the water from his stomach, then he pressed on his chest and pinched his philtrum.
Seeing that his son was barely breathing, Lord Jiang's face darkened like a storm cloud.
What's going on?
The man responsible for bringing the person back said, "Lord Jiang, this is what happened. We were out for a stroll near Baimatan in the eastern suburbs when we saw a fight taking place in a pavilion. Upon closer inspection, we saw that a young master was surrounded by many of his men, who were attacking him and even pushing him into the water, trying to drown him."
"Fortunately, we know how to swim, so we dived into the water, dragged the man away, and brought him to the capital. We then went to some prestigious restaurants and asked some people of high status, and only then did we learn that he was the young master of the Jiang family, so we brought him here."
Lord Jiang's face twitched as he spat out each word through gritted teeth: "Who is that young master who harmed my son?"
"We common folk didn't know either. At first, we saw the two young masters drinking tea, playing chess and having a good time under the pavilion. We thought they were close friends. But somehow, the men that the other young master brought started fighting. It seems that the young master was putting on an act. Even though they were the ones he brought, he pretended to fight and acted as if he was protecting Young Master Jiang."
