Chapter 76 Falling into the Water



Even without boarding the ship, Ye Huan still found some fun.

They were feeding the fish by the lake.

The koi fish wagged their tails and snatched the fish food, making the princess and Ye Huan laugh heartily.

Jiang Chuwei watched quietly as the two of them played happily like children.

It's so good to be young!

Unlike her, who has lived two lives, her body is always weighed down by immense pressure.

To rewrite the fate of the General's Mansion, constant planning is necessary.

Just as we were having a great time, the tour boat slowly appeared in front of us.

Ye Huan's eyes widened as she excitedly asked, "Can we get on the boat?"

Princess Qingning immediately replied, "Of course."

This is her home, and Ye Huan can take a boat anytime she wants.

Only servants from the Prince's mansion were on the boat.

"Let's get on the boat." Princess Qingning immediately pulled the two of them onto the boat.

Ye Huan asked curiously, "Why are there no customers?"

The servant replied, "Miss! The guests have all gone to see the play."

Ye Huan asked excitedly, "You mean there are only the three of us on this ship?"

"yes."

"Such a good thing?" Ye Huan was extremely excited.

Princess Qingning said, "If you want to go boating on the lake, I can let you go boating on the lake by yourself every day."

"No, no, no, it's no fun boating on the lake alone. It's better if the three of us go together." Ye Huan pretended to be frightened.

She's not stupid. What's the point of boating on the lake if she has no one to talk to?

The joy of traveling lies in the fact that being with like-minded people doubles the happiness.

Princess Qingning turned to her servants and asked, "Why are there no guests up here?"

"The princess has invited a famous opera troupe from the capital, and the guests have disembarked to watch the performance," the servant replied respectfully.

"I see, that's exactly what I wanted!" Ye Huanke was overjoyed.

Seeing Ye Huan's excitement, Jiang Chuwei also became interested: "Let's go and see just how beautiful the Prince's mansion, which can accommodate three cruise ships, really is."

The Prince's Mansion is renowned, and guests visiting the mansion invariably take a boat trip around the lake.

It is said that the scenery of the Prince's Mansion is comparable to that of the Imperial Palace.

Ye Huan was a free spirit, and she said whatever came to mind: "The scenery of the Prince's Mansion is much better than that of the Ye family."

She was very interested in the artificial lake.

Princess Qingning rolled her eyes at her: "You've never seen the world before. Next time, I'll take you to the palace!"

Ye Huan quickly said, "No, no, no, the Prince Xiang's residence is much better. The palace has too many rules and is not suitable for someone like me."

Ye Huan wasn't stupid. Those nobles were all cunning and shrewd. Her father had offended quite a few people. If he went to the palace, he would be half dead.

Seeing Ye Huan's cowardly appearance, Princess Qingning chuckled.

Being with these two lively characters brightened Jiang Chuwei's mood considerably.

The boats glided gently on the lake, unaware that danger was creeping in. A blurry figure was lurking among the lotus blossoms not far away.

Meanwhile, a furtive servant on the cruise ship kept a close eye on the three people's backs.

As if sensing something, Jiang Chuwei turned around and glanced back, only to have a head dressed as a servant in the Prince's mansion quickly disappear inside.

Jiang Chuwei became alert.

Could it be that Princess Jin has come up with another plan after one failed?

Jiang Chuwei just couldn't understand what she was trying to do.

She quickly went through it in her mind; Princess Jin was behaving very strangely today.

The two duchesses also harbored ill intentions towards her.

But Jiang Chuwei racked her brains but couldn't figure out what reason these people would have to go to such lengths to send someone to the ship to harm her.

Perhaps the Jiang family has enemies lurking in the shadows?

Jiang Chuwei had no doubt that the person hiding in the shadows was after her.

Ye Huan and Princess Qingning were still playfully bickering, and Jiang Chuwei's eyes and ears never relaxed for a moment.

Suddenly, she saw shadowy figures among the lotus flowers.

Normally, Jiang Chuwei wouldn't be able to see it without exceptional eyesight.

However, when people are concentrating, they can easily pick up on different information.

Jiang Chuwei is now perfectly clear-headed and sharp-witted.

She wouldn't allow herself to be even the slightest bit negligent, lest it lead to irreversible consequences.

She calculated the distance between the cruise ship and the shore at that moment.

Jiang Chuwei made a decisive move and jumped into the fray.

She wants to lure out the person hiding in the shadows, rather than waiting to fall into their trap.

A loud bang startled not only Ye Huan and Princess Qingning, but also the servant who had just silently walked up behind Jiang Chuwei.

Before he could even reach out, Miss Jiang fell into the water.

"Ah, Sister Jiang, hurry and save her!" Ye Huan and the princess hadn't seen clearly how Jiang Chuwei fell, and they shouted anxiously.

As soon as she finished speaking, a man swam rapidly towards Jiang Chuwei from among the lotus flowers.

Jiang Chuwei smiled and immediately turned around to swim towards the opposite bank.

King Jin: ...

Is Miss Jiang such a good swimmer?

Ye Huan: ...

Princess: ...

What's going on?

Are Sister Jiang and the man in the water having a competition?

Ye Huan then realized, "Princess! We've been tricked!"

What a coincidence! Jiang Chuwei had just fallen in when a man swam over to rescue her.

The only explanation is that someone had been lying in wait here all along.

Princess Qingning's face also darkened. Playing these underhanded tricks in the Xiang Prince's residence, treating her mother like a mere decoration? "It's Prince Jin!"

At this moment, both of them realized what Princess Jin's intentions were in urging them to board the ship.

Ye Huan was already regretting it. If she hadn't been so eager to go boating on the lake, Chu Wei wouldn't have ended up boarding the boat anyway.

Neither the princess nor Ye Huan can swim.
