Chapter 135 Zhang Yumo still jumped into the lake.
When Madam Zhang saw Zhang Yumo crying in the arms of a stranger, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes, as if the Zhang family had bullied her.
She pulled Zhang Yumo out of Feng Jingyuan's arms and said sarcastically, "We don't need Madam Jiang to worry about our Zhang family's affairs. Yumo lost her parents at a young age, and we aunts have always treated her like our own daughter. Her marriage is naturally up to us. Our Zhang family has already agreed to the Su family's marriage proposal, and Mo'er and General Su will be married soon."
Feng Jingyuan looked at Madam Zhang and said in a calm tone, "Madam, do you also agree to Yu Mo's marriage?"
Madam Zhang glanced at Duke Zhang and said in a deep voice, "I agree. It's time for our Mo'er to get married."
They felt that regardless of who spread these rumors about Zhang Yumo and Jiang Jinyan, their reputations were already ruined, and the Jiang family hadn't sincerely offered their marriage proposal. Now that the Su family was offering their marriage proposal, it would be better to marry her off to a distant place, to the border region. She would have a better life after getting married, and it would be better for her to stay away from all the troubles in the capital and suffer sadness in the capital.
Madam Zhang didn't explain these things to Feng Jingyuan, as the two families originally had no connection.
Zhang Yumo cried uncontrollably, "I will not marry into the Li family, nor will I marry into the Su family."
Duke Zhang said coldly, "Insolence."
The next second, she suddenly rushed out of the banquet. Madam Zhang subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but Duke Zhang said angrily, "Let her go. I have spoiled her too much all these years."
Duke Zhang coughed repeatedly in anger. Old Madam Zhang asked with concern, "Why is Duke still angry with a child? You raised your granddaughter yourself, don't you feel sorry for her?" Of course she knew that Duke Zhang loved his granddaughter, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of raising her.
Duke Zhang was speechless for a moment. It was all his granddaughter's fault for being so useless and clinging to Jiang Jinyan. For so long, he hadn't taken her seriously at all. If she didn't get married now, she would really be an old maid for the rest of her life, and people would point fingers and laugh at her.
Madam Zhang smiled smugly, "We've made a fool of ourselves in front of everyone. We elders really can't stop worrying about our children. Yu Mo has been sensible and obedient since she was little. I don't know who bewitched her, she's so single-minded."
Now, even if Zhang Yumo marries into the Su family, she'll be in for a rough time. She's already entangled with other men before marriage; what man could stand that she has someone else in her heart?
Feng Jingyuan was furious upon hearing this. Putting aside who she was going to marry, her aunt's words alone could ruin a woman's life. She still wanted to try her best. "Madam, actually my Jinyan..."
"Madam Jiang, let's settle this matter here!" said Old Madam Zhang.
Just then, a maid shouted, "Something terrible has happened! Miss Mo has jumped into the lake! Help! Someone, please help!"
In an instant, everyone ran towards the lake.
Jiang Fenghua and Jiang Rumeng exchanged a glance and quickly ran towards the lake.
Jiang Fenghua was anxious. Could it be that the tragedy of her previous life had still happened, and even several months earlier than expected?
She grew increasingly anxious, praying that nothing would happen to Zhang Yumo, otherwise she would truly feel guilty.
First, there was a flash flood in Jiangnan, and now Zhang Yumo has committed suicide by jumping into a lake in advance. Could it be that her rebirth will really change many things that she cannot predict?
At this moment, the lakeside was crowded with people, but no one went down to rescue her. Zhang Yumo's maid stood on the shore and shouted repeatedly, "Miss, please don't be hurt! Someone, please come and save my young lady!"
The lake was so deep that once you went down, you couldn't see anyone. Old Madam Zhang and Duke Zhang were so anxious that they almost fainted.
The men dared not go into the water to save her, after all, Zhang Yumo was not only involved with the Jiang family's young master, but had also broken off her engagement with the Li family's Minister, and now she was engaged to the young general of the Su family. No one would go down and get entangled with her again, and who would dare to touch the body of an unmarried woman?
Jiang Fenghua is a good swimmer, but she is pregnant. Not to mention that the lake water is icy cold at this time of year, she also doesn't have the strength to support Zhang Yumo. In that case, both of them would die.
“Aoxue,” she said.
Ao Xue held the sword and stayed by her side, never leaving her side.
Ao Xue judged, "My duty is to protect the Princess. Besides, I'm not very good at swimming. The lake in the Zhang residence is flowing, and I'm afraid it's connected to other lakes outside. Anyone who goes down there will be in danger."
Ji Chen wanted to jump in to save her. If he could really save her, this beautiful girl would have no choice but to marry him. But if he died, it wouldn't be worth it. So he hesitated. His life was more important than wealth and glory...
Just then, a loud "plop" was heard, water splashed everywhere, and a man jumped in without even taking off his clothes.
Jiang Zhiqin stood by the lake and shouted, "Big brother, it was big brother who jumped in!"
No one could see who it was. Jiang Zhiqin was young, so he didn't get too close, but he did see his older brother's figure.
People on the shore were talking about how Zhang Yumo was determined to die, and they were afraid that she was in grave danger.
Jiang Jinyan also went home and learned that the Jiang family had all come to the Zhang residence to celebrate the Duke of Zhang's birthday. He also heard from the steward that his mother had ordered someone to find the Jiang family's heirloom jade pendant and bring it to the Zhang residence to propose marriage, but no one had returned. In such a situation, his mother's actions were probably inappropriate.
So he changed his clothes and hurried to the Zhang residence.
When he arrived, he saw everyone running towards the lake. He randomly grabbed someone and asked what had happened, only to find out that Zhang Yumo had committed suicide by jumping into the lake.
They had only been gone for a month, and it was agreed before they left that he would have his mother go to the Zhang family to propose marriage. How could they suddenly jump into the lake and commit suicide?
Upon reaching the lake, he jumped in without hesitation to save the person.
When he found Zhang Yumo at the bottom of the lake, Zhang Yumo was completely unconscious. Fortunately, he had traveled extensively and was physically fit and a good swimmer, so he easily brought Zhang Yumo to the surface.
They popped their heads out, and everyone on the lakeside was dumbfounded.
Everyone was speculating: Is Miss Zhang dead? She looks like she's stopped breathing!
When Madam Jiang saw her son, she asked anxiously, "Jinyan, are you alright?"
Jiang Jinyan had beautiful peach blossom eyes and was handsome. His heroic act instantly stirred the hearts of the young ladies from noble families on the shore.
Jiang Rumeng and the Zhang family members went to help and brought Zhang Yumo ashore. Her eyes were closed, as if she were dead, without any life, and even her lips were purplish-black.
Someone shouted, "Quickly, get a doctor!"
Duke Zhang's hands trembled as he repeatedly called out, "Imperial Physician Wang, Imperial Physician Li, Imperial Physician Zhang, Academician Mei..."
Madam Zhang was so frightened that she fainted.
After Jiang Jinyan got ashore, he dismissed the people who surrounded him and immediately began to rescue Zhang Yumo.
He first emptied the fluid from her chest cavity, then pried open her lips and began to breathe into her mouth.
He calmly and repeatedly performed the same movements, never expecting that she would be so lifeless when he saw her again.
