At this moment, someone finally heard the commotion and rushed over.
Unfortunately, it wasn't servants or maids, but Dean Gu accompanying the ladies of various families.
They had been sitting inside for a long time and felt a bit stifled, so they came over together to admire the flowers and also to find someone they clicked with, so they could become their daughter-in-law or son-in-law in the future.
As a result, everyone heard a commotion in this corner as soon as they entered the garden. When they rushed over to see what was going on, they were quite surprised.
Fortunately, the little maid in blue had already been pulled up.
But Jiayin's four skirts, pants, and shoes were all soaked.
Mei Lan and Xu Xi's mothers rushed forward, their faces pale. They reached out and pulled their daughters behind them, not wanting others to see their disheveled state.
Now only Jiayin and Baozhu remained, standing beside the little maid in blue.
No, there's also a little maid in green who only knows how to cry.
The little maid in blue choked on water and, having exhausted all her strength, had already fainted.
The little maid in green cried her heart out, "Waaah, sister, you can't die!"
"What will I do if you die! Help! Someone save my sister!"
Dean Gu quickly sent someone to find servants to carry the person away.
Just in case, we called a doctor to our home today.
However, since we're waiting in the outer courtyard right now, instead of inviting her over, it would be better to send the little maid over instead.
Even if the maid really did die, it wouldn't cause panic among the crowd.
The little maid in green, for some reason, upon hearing that her sister was to be carried away, actually grabbed Jiayin's leg and cried and begged.
"Miss, please save my sister! Waaah, our parents are gone, and I only have my sister left."
"My sister died today, so I can't live either! Waaah, help me, help me!"
Jiayin felt a little soft-hearted, as the two maids were about the same age as her.
She had a loving family, but these two maids depended on each other for survival, serving as servants.
She thought for a moment and then said to the maid in green, "Your sister is probably just holding her breath. She'll wake up soon, so don't worry. Don't cry."
But the little maid in green still refused to let go.
Jiayin had no choice but to squat down in front of the little maid in blue, help her turn her head to open her airway, and then pretend to pat her back.
In reality, she took out silver needles from her spatial storage and pricked several acupoints on the blue-clad maid's back.
A moment later, the little maid in blue opened her eyes and began coughing violently.
The little maid in green was overjoyed and kept kowtowing to express her gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Miss, for saving my life! Waaah, thank you so much, Miss!"
Seeing that someone was approaching in the distance, Dean Gu quickly called his personal maid and led Jiayin and the others downstairs to change their clothes.
Jiayin grabbed Baozhu and left. Xu Xi and Meilan's mothers, worried about their daughters, followed after them.
For a moment, only two pitiful little maids remained by the water, stared at by everyone, neither daring to move.
Dean Gu asked, "How did you accidentally fall into the water?"
Standing behind her was the woman in the matching robe, who, for some reason, chimed in with a reprimand: "Yes, it's fortunate you met the princess today. The princess is blessed with good fortune and is exceptionally intelligent, which saved your lives; otherwise, you would have been in real danger!"
The two little maids trembled. The little maid in green said tearfully, "When I walked onto the bridge, I tripped on a pebble. I tried to dodge it, but I bumped into my sister, and she fell off the bridge."
The little maid in blue had narrowly escaped death; her face was deathly pale, and her expression was somewhat bewildered.
Her lips trembled as she said, "I felt like I was floating just now, but it was pitch black everywhere, and I didn't know where I was going. Suddenly, a golden light pulled me back..."
Before Dean Gu could respond, the woman in the matching clothes who had spoken earlier started shouting.
"You see, I told you, it's all because the princess is so lucky. This little girl got lucky and escaped with her life."
A Buddhist woman had already put her hands together and silently recited the Buddha's name.
The others were also surprised. The princess had patted the maid a few times haphazardly, and the maid had woken up. They all thought it was just a coincidence.
Unexpectedly, the little maid in blue was indeed rescued by the princess!
Could it be that the princess is truly blessed?
Not only did they dare to snatch someone from the King of Hell, they actually won!
The woman in the color-coated dress was about to speak when she saw Dean Gu staring coldly at her.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she swallowed the words she was about to say.
Dean Gu sneered and loudly ordered the maids and servants to quickly take the blue-clad and green-clad maids away.
They euphemistically said that they wanted the doctor to check their pulse again, just in case something went wrong.
Everyone nodded in approval. The Gu family was kind and honest, and they did not look down on their servants in the slightest.
Dean Gu invited everyone to walk around. The garden was full of beautiful scenery, and you could pass the time anywhere.
Everyone responded with smiles and then dispersed.
Avoiding public view, Dean Gu frowned, gave a few instructions to his personal maid, and then went to find Jiayin and the others.
Shui Ling had already gone to the carriage to get spare clothes and shoes, but Jia Yin was the first to change out of her wet dress and shoes.
Baozhu then changed and sat down next to Jiayin.
But Xu Xi and Mei Lan were much slower because their mother was very strict and kept scolding her daughters.
Xu Xi and Mei Lan lowered their heads, twisting their handkerchiefs, feeling very embarrassed and annoyed, yet they had no choice but to endure it.
In that life-or-death moment, they didn't think too much.
After all, clothes can be changed if they get wet, but a life lost can never be brought back.
But in the mother's eyes, the life of a little maid was not important at all.
On the contrary, it would be a big deal if they were seen in a disheveled state by a man while saving someone, ruining their reputation and innocence!
Jiayin and Baozhu sat on one side, their awkwardness so intense they could dig a whole mansion out of their toes.
Especially Jiayin, she was the one who came up with the idea to save people, Xu Xi and Meilan were just helping out and contributing their efforts.
At this moment, although Madam Xu and Madam Mei were not directly scolding her, their anger clearly implied that they were blaming her for sticking her neck out...
Baozhu was unhappy to hear this and tried to speak several times, but Jiayin tugged at her sleeve.
While Madam Mei and Madam Xu were not likable, Mei Lan and Xu Xi were quite nice, and I got along very well with them.
They pretended to be stupid just for the sake of their friend.
Fortunately, Dean Gu arrived quickly.
Perhaps having overheard a few words outside, Dean Xu entered the room and thanked Jiayin and the others.
“Princess, Miss Jia, Miss Xu, and Miss Mei, it was all our servants' recklessness that caused you to get your shoes and socks wet.”
"But thanks to your quick thinking, a life was saved."
"I will invite you to my residence another day to host a banquet to express my gratitude for today's events."
Although Dean Gu was a widow, she had remained chaste for her deceased husband for many years and had also established a girls' school. Her talent and character were widely praised.
She personally thanked them and praised the girls for their good work. Madam Mei and Madam Xu's expressions improved considerably. They stopped blaming their daughters and even exchanged a few polite words.
But soon they said goodbye, saying they were taking their daughter home.
Dean Gu, of course, couldn't stop them, so after a few pleasantries, he saw the guest off.
Jiayin and Baozhu then took their leave as well.
After exiting the second gate and boarding the carriage, before they could even depart, Dean Gu's head maid came over and whispered a few words in Jiayin's ear...
