A group of maids were holding the two children, Luo Yunhuan and Lu Chang, in panic, staring at the center of the lake, anxiously waiting for their cousin. It seemed like a long time had passed, and when their faces turned pale, they saw someone floating in the water. Luo Lingyu was dragging someone and swimming back with gritted teeth.

The girls were delighted: "Girls, girls, we are here!"

When they reached the shore, all the maids came over to help Luo Lingyu rescue Lu Erlang. Lu Erlang's face was pale and his eyes were closed. His long hair was wet and his robe became heavy after being soaked by water. After Luo Lingyu brought him back with great effort, her knees became weak and she lay on the ground gasping for breath. Hearing the maids shouting "Erlang" and "Erlang" in fear, Luo Lingyu trembled her lips and pinched her legs to give herself some strength and energy. She squeezed into the group of maids with her body soaked with water, hugged the unconscious Lu Erlang in her arms, and patted his face hard: "Second cousin, second cousin..."

From far away, the lights of lanterns came closer. It turned out that the servants on night watch came over. Seeing that this place was surrounded by maids, the servants ran over. Lu Chang fell and knelt on the ground. Luo Yunhuan was not much better than him. At this time, he also knew that he had gotten into trouble. Lu Erlang was the most senior son of the Lu family. If something happened to him, the Lu family, the Lu family... Luo Yunhuan cried: "Sister, I'm sorry——"

Luo Lingyu was holding Lu Erlang. Seeing someone coming, she turned her head and looked at her frightened sister and little cousin. Her sister was in tears, but her cousin Cang Huang bit his lip and said nothing... these two children... Lu Chang was abandoned by the Lu family, but she didn't care; but this matter concerned her sister, who was so young, and she couldn't ruin her sister's future.

Anyway, it was her that Mrs. Lu disliked. It didn't matter if she disliked her more.

Besides, after this happened... she wouldn't have to go to the polo match arranged by her great aunt, and she wouldn't have to expose her shortcomings. As for her second cousin... as long as she admitted it, her cousin was kind, so she hoped he wouldn't say anything.

With a ruthless heart, Luo Lingyu said, "Hide in the bamboo forest and wait until the people leave before coming out. Don't say that you pushed my second cousin down."

Lingyu realized something and shouted, "Girl!"

Luo Lingyu's face was calm and steady: "No one is allowed to tell anyone, just say, say... I had an argument with my second cousin and I accidentally pushed my cousin into the water."

…

That night, Lu Fu couldn't sleep all night.

In the late night, the lights in "Qingyuan" had been turned off and everyone was asleep. Lu Yun, the second room's husband, suddenly opened his eyes. He turned over and sat up in the tent, and saw the fire outside the tent gradually light up. After a while, Lu Yun got up and put on his clothes. He saw that the lights in the hall were brightly lit, and Jinyue was hugging the young lady who was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, and comforting her softly.

Jinyue: "What happened? Can you tell your sister? Sanlang has already gone to bed. Our husband was injured before and couldn't get up at night. Hey, don't cry..."

Luo Yunhuan choked up, "Sister Jinyue, please, let me see my third cousin! My sister saved my third cousin, so my third cousin should help my sister. Lu family, Lu family... I can only beg my third cousin!"

Although their real relative was their great aunt Lu Ying, when something happened to Lu Erlang, not to mention Mrs. Lu, the old lady was furious. Their great aunt had never cared about them and would definitely not provoke anyone to protect her sister... Luo Yunhuan cried until her eyes were red and her voice was almost hoarse.

The next moment, the curtain was opened, and Jinyue, who was coaxing her little sister, and the girl in her arms turned around together and saw the handsome and elegant man standing at the door.

Lu Yun drooped his eyelids: Why does she always get into trouble? Why is there always so much trouble?

So annoying.

The author has something to say: Among a group of strangers, Lu San is the best to our sister Luo~~

Ps: I remind you again that in this era, there is a hundred schools of thought, no honor or respect, no limit on the intimacy between men and women. Women can even remarry with their children. The nobles play crazier than ordinary people!

Chapter 22

Lu Erlang fell into the water at night and was sent back to the courtyard. Lu Erlang never woke up, so a doctor was urgently called in to treat him. At the same time, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu hurried away, and Prime Minister Lu, who had returned home to check on Lu Erlang's studies, also went to visit his son with his wife.

When the elders rushed away, Luo Lingyu was already kneeling beside Lu Erlang's bed, soaked in water, and had been taking care of him for a long time. In the second half of the night, the elders who had been up all night gathered in Erlang's courtyard with heavy hearts, asking the doctor why Lu Xian was unconscious;

Cousin Luo Lingyu was obedient. Although she was shivering from the cold in her wet clothes, she never went down to tidy up her clothes. She volunteered to be punished and went into the small Buddhist temple in the corner of the yard, two rooms away from Lu Erlang's dormitory, and knelt in front of the Buddhist shrine to pray for Erlang.

Luo Yunhuan was terrified.

It was bad enough that her second cousin fell into the water, but it was even worse that he couldn't wake up. This result was beyond her imagination. She finally realized how much trouble she had caused her sister... With no one to turn to, Luo Yunhuan had no choice but to cry and come to "Qingyuan" to beg Lu Yun. She had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that Lu Sanlang would be kind and not be the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die without helping, and she was not afraid of facing Mrs. Lu and the elders.

Whether Lu Sanlang was kind or not is not discussed for now, but he told Jinyue to hold the lamp, then he sat down, rubbing his forehead and looking tired, to listen to Luo Yunhuan's request.

Jinyue was worried about her husband's injury, so she had to put a loose cloak on Sanlang. She saw Lu Yun sitting under the light, with his long black hair hanging down his shoulders and a few strands of hair sticking to his face. His eyelids drooped, and his eyelashes cast several shadows on his face. His face was silvery white, and his fingers supporting his forehead were slender and warm. He sat there with an untidy look and a tired look on his face. Compared with his usual noble appearance, he now looked much more luxurious and lazy.

Luo Yunhuan choked up as she finished her words.

Lu Yun raised his eyelashes, his eyes sparkled, and even the crying young lady was stunned. Lu Yun's voice was cold: "Cousin Luo can swim?"

That day he accidentally pushed her into the water and she sank immediately. Was she frightened by him or did she deliberately seduce him?

Based on his consistent knowledge of Luo Lingyu's character, Lu Yun snorted in his heart.

He asked again: "You said she took the initiative to jump into the water to save the second brother?"

Luo Yunhua: “Yes…”
