Yunyu was dressed in a dark men's outfit, and he looked just like a man. No, no, Yunyu looked just like a washboard stuck on a boat.
Yunyu, with her sharp eyes, had already spotted the two people over there. She deliberately put on an affected tone and said to her master, "Oh! County Princess, look, isn't that the Princess and Young Master Zheng over there? I didn't expect they had so many private activities. What a coincidence!"
[I knew this was going to happen! Author, come out and take your punishment!]
Judging from Jiang Shu's expression, she's probably misunderstood again!
The screen was instantly flooded with comments.
He Yi looked at the comments and her heart skipped a beat. Jiang Shu's distant gaze from yesterday was still fresh in her mind. How could she run into her here again? This was too much of a coincidence.
Zheng Yu naturally noticed Jiang Shu as well. From afar, Zheng Yu cupped his hands in greeting to the two of them, saying, "It's truly a rare occasion to meet someone like you, Princess. You've also come to enjoy the lake?"
Jiang Shu curtsied, her voice barely audible.
"Yes... I've been feeling really bored and restless lately, so I came out for some fresh air." Her gaze swept over He Yi intentionally or unintentionally before quickly looking down again. He Yi frowned. Since she couldn't avoid it, she might as well take the opportunity to bring them together. She stepped forward and smiled, "My brother and I are just about to go to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Would the princess like to come along? The wind is strong on the lake, and the princess is not well. Why don't you let Brother Zheng take you to the pavilion to rest first?"
As she spoke, she winked at Zheng Yu and then said to Jiang Shu, "I'll go look at the lotus flowers around here. You can go ahead."
Zheng Yu was taken aback, seemingly not quite understanding what Zheng Heyi meant.
【Heyi, what are you doing? Are you pushing your sweetheart away?】
Is it a ploy to get her, or is she genuinely naive and innocent?
[Tsk tsk, is the villainous female supporting character really going to reconcile with Jiang Shu?]
I'm just a country bumpkin, I love watching, I enjoy watching.
The comments section was filled with noise.
He Yi pretended not to see it, slapped Zheng Yu on the back, and then helped Jiang Shu onto the small boat without a second thought. She also gave Yun Yu a look that said "take good care of your young lady." Yun Yu rolled her eyes, pouted, and frowned.
He Yi breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the small boat head towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
The boatman handed over a cup of tea: "Young lady, you are so kind-hearted. Even a fool could understand what you mean."
She gave a bitter laugh. "It's a pity they're even more foolish than idiots." To be honest, she wasn't being kind; she just wanted to distance herself from them.
[Heyi, you need to be more careful! Zheng Yu's eyes are practically drooling over you.]
Judging from Jiang Shu's expression, she's probably extremely jealous.
[They're up to something.]
The barrage of comments was still flooding the screen, so Zheng Heyi simply walked to the bow of the boat to admire the surrounding scenery.
Not long after, a loud argument suddenly came from the direction of the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Although it was too far away to hear clearly what they were arguing about, the noise was quite loud.
He Yi's heart tightened, and she quickly swiped over.
Zheng Yu stood in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, his face ashen. Jiang Shu had her back to him, her shoulders trembling slightly. Yun Yu stood to the side with her hands on her hips, shouting, "How can Young Master Zheng be so biased? Just now on the boat, you kept staring at the princess!"
Here it comes! The iconic scene of sowing discord!
[Zheng Yu, explain quickly! Jiang Shu, turn around quickly!]
Seeing that things were not going well, He Yi hurriedly jumped ashore. Just as she was about to smooth things over, a thunderclap suddenly rolled across the sky, and then a torrential downpour began.
"We're very close to Yunhuang Temple! Let's quickly go there to take shelter from the rain!" Zheng Yu made a decisive decision, quickly taking off his outer robe, and then...
Then, in full view of everyone, he actually draped his coat over He Yi's shoulders, and without saying a word, he grabbed her hand and ran up the mountain.
Supported by Yunyu, Jiang Shu followed at a distance, her gaze fixed on their clasped hands with malice.
The monks of Yunhuang Temple, seeing that they were seeking shelter from the rain, welcomed them into a side hall. A charcoal fire was burning inside; everyone except Zheng He was soaked to the bone, and the monks brought over a brazier.
He Yi silently warmed her hands, listening to the increasingly loud rain outside the window, feeling a headache coming on. Actually, she had planned to matchmake Zheng Yu and Jiang Shu, but little did she know that Zheng Yu seemed to have his heart set on her.
[This rain came just in time, hahaha!]
[Waiting for the battle to begin!]
Zheng Yu was about to wipe He Yi's wet hair, but He Yi dodged him. A moment later, the monks brought in vegetarian food, and everyone ate without tasting it.
The monk smiled and said that the mountain path was muddy and that they probably couldn't go down the mountain today. They would have to wait until the weather cleared up tomorrow to go down the mountain, otherwise they might encounter natural disasters such as mudslides.
Left with no other choice, the group had to rest at the temple.
Zheng Yu noticed that He Yi hadn't eaten much and assumed it wasn't to her liking, so she said, "I'm going out for a walk and then I'll leave."
After some time, Zheng Yu secretly delivered some vegetarian snacks to He Yi's door, saying, "I know you don't like the vegetarian food at the temple, so have something to eat."
He Yi took the food box and stared at Zheng Yu in astonishment.
Ahhh! Your darn gentleness is making me cry uncontrollably!
[Heyi, refuse immediately! Think about your engagement!]
[Jiang Shu, look! He Yi's excavator is coming!]
The barrage of comments flashed before her eyes.
He Yi thanked her softly and was about to close the door when she remembered that Jiang Shu was still next door. She thought she might as well go and see her, and bring Jiang Shu some food. She carried the food box to the door of the next room and was about to knock when she heard the sounds of lovemaking coming from inside.
"You can't be soft-hearted! That young master Zheng's eyes and heart are only for the princess. If you don't think of a way, you'll just have to watch them elope!"
Jiang Shu didn't say anything.
"Hmph!" Yunyu's voice suddenly became three degrees sharper. "When necessary, we have to use some extreme measures! How disgusting it is to see them exchanging glances."
Zheng Heyi didn't hear what was said after that. Heyi froze, almost dropping the food box in her hand. This damned Yunyu, how could she do this?
Extraordinary measures? What do you mean by extraordinary measures?
[I knew Jiang Shu's innocent facade was about to be exposed!]
[Run, He Yi! Don't go in!]
The barrage of comments flashed wildly, like countless hands pushing her. He Yi held her breath, quietly took a few steps back, and felt her heart sink.
She looked down at the food box in her hands; even the vegetarian pastries inside seemed tasteless. A night breeze blew through the corridor, swirling up a few fallen leaves. He Yi knew there was no need to go back in.
She clutched the food box tightly and silently walked back to her room. The rain outside the window started again, pattering against the windowpane and also against He Yixin's heart.
This trip to Cuiwei Mountain to relax turned into a series of perilous predicaments.
Zheng Yu's affection, Jiang Shu's nonchalant expression, Yun Yu's scheming, and the unresolved marriage contract were like an invisible net, trapping her tightly.
Back in the house, He Yi felt exhausted and leaned against the door.
Perhaps, from the moment she stepped into the princess's mansion, everything was irreversible.
[Get ready to stand tall! Building a business is the priority!]
The comments section was still cheering her on, but all she wanted to do was hide under the covers and get some rest.
