Chapter 35 Nemesis
Inside the boat, Xie Guimo, Prince Duan's son Xiao Xun, and Prince Xuanyi's son Chu Yi were drinking.
Xiao Xun poured wine for Xie Guimo, "It's rare that you have time to accompany us to cruise the lake and drink."
Chu Yi smiled and said, "It's not that he doesn't have time, it's that he's not in the mood."
Chu Yi covered his face with a folding fan and whispered, "I don't know what he went through during his time away from Beijing. You don't know how stinky his face was when he just returned to Beijing. I kind of suspect that he was abandoned by some girl."
"...Don't ask for a fight."
Xiao Xun quietly moved away from Chu Yi, fearing that Xie Guimo would take action and get covered in blood.
Chu Yi was really a little scared. He coughed lightly and closed his folding fan. Then he heard the maid's urgent call. Before he could react, Xie Guimo had already stood up and walked out. He moved so quickly that the wine glass fell over and the wine dripped along the table.
Chu Yi felt strange and was pulled up by Xiao Xun. The two of them went out, but they did not see Xie Guimo. Instead, they saw four people in the lake.
Chu Yi was stunned and couldn't believe it, "Brother Gui Mo actually went down to save people?"
Kicking someone into the lake is what the Prince of Jingyang would do, going into the lake to save someone...
Is the sun rising from the south today?
Chu Yi subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Besides, Chen Tang was pushed into the lake by Miss Li, and took Miss Li down with him. As soon as Miss Li fell into the water, she was frightened and turned pale. She choked on the water and shouted for help.
If she hadn't exposed the Yongning Marquis's plot, Chen Tang might have believed that it was an accident, but there weren't so many accidents in the world, especially since Miss Li had always looked at her unkindly since she was in Yanqi Lake.
Chen Tang was certain that Miss Li was taking revenge on her for ruining the Yongning Marquis's fortunes and was deliberately pushing her into it!
Chen Tang was not as panicked as Miss Li. Ever since she was pushed into the water by Princess Chun'an in her previous life, she learned how to swim like a duck. However, the lake water in early spring was too cold. After she fell, she subconsciously flapped her wings a few times and recovered.
Seeing that Miss Li had choked on water several times and had learned her lesson, Chen Tang prepared to save her. Although she brought her down because Miss Li pushed her, it would have been fine if she couldn't swim, but since she could, she couldn't just stand by and watch her die. Besides, there were many people on the boat who could swim and would not let Miss Li drown.
But just when Shen Tang was about to swim towards Miss Li, the eldest young master of the Wang family, who had jumped out of the boat to save someone after hearing the sound of someone falling into the water, swam towards her. There was no anxiety on Young Master Wang's face, but a smile of success.
Shen Tang's heart sank when he saw that look. He didn't care about saving Miss Li and turned around and swam away.
Young Master Wang was stunned, he didn't expect Chen Tang to be able to swim, and even faster than him.
The people on both sides of the boat also twitched their lips.
Two people fell into the water, and two people jumped into the water to save them.
Miss Shen II doesn't need to be rescued. Chase her and save her. The eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion can't swim and she is almost out of strength to call for help. Why don't you share some of the energy?
When Young Master Wang saw that he could not catch up with Chen Tang, he turned around and swam towards Miss Li.
Miss Li felt that she was about to drown, and she struggled desperately. When she was about to despair, she grabbed a man's arm. The desire to survive broke out at that moment, and she wrapped the man tightly around him, making Young Master Wang unable to move. If the boatman had not reacted in time and thrown the rope over, they would both have drowned together.
After Master Wang and Miss Li were rescued, they threw a rope down to pull Chen Tang.
Xie Guimo was in the water, watching Chen Tang being pulled up, and he laughed out of anger. Behind him, Xiao Xun shouted, "Is it fun to soak in the water?"
As Xiao Xun spoke, Chu Yi threw the rope to Xie Guimo.
He pulled with his hands, and the whole person flew up from the water and landed on the deck.
Seeing that he was soaked, Xiao Xun couldn't help laughing. He patted Xie Guimo on the shoulder and said, "I think you have met your nemesis this time."
Xie Guimo entered the boat with a dark face, leaving wet footprints with every step.
Chu Yi looked at Xiao Xun strangely, "What nemesis? Are you two hiding something from me?"
Inside the boat, Xie Guimo walked over, grabbed the wine jug on the table, and poured wine into his mouth.
He took several gulps and then put the jug down heavily with such force that it almost shattered.
Xiao Xun's shoulders were shaking from trying to hold back his laughter.
Chu Yi followed in from behind and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Shen, a lady from a wealthy family, would actually swim..."
Chen Qi brought the brocade robe over, and Xie Guimo went behind the screen to change into it.
As for Chen Tang, after she was rescued onto the boat, a gust of wind blew, and it was so cold that her bones were shivering. Ginkgo promptly took the cloak to wrap her up, and helped Chen Tang to change her skirt.
Princess Roujia didn't expect that she would encounter such a bad thing on her birthday. She quickly ordered the maid, "Hurry up and prepare ginger soup to drive away the cold for them."
When Chen Tang was changing her skirt, she even sneezed. Chen Tang heard someone talking, "Who did you think Prince Jingyang wanted to save when he jumped into the water just now?"
Chen Tang was stunned. She knew that two people went into the water to rescue people, but she turned around quickly when she saw Young Master Wang, and did not pay attention to who the other person was. Chen Tang asked, "The other person who went into the water to rescue people was...?"
Ginkgo said, "It's the Prince of Jingyang."
Chen Tang, "......???"
Xie Guimo is here too?
And go into the water to save people?
Why did this person suddenly become so nice?
There are so many people on the boat. Doesn't it require him, the Prince of Jingyang, to go into the water himself to save them?
However, Chen Tang didn't think that someone jumped into the water to save her. She was just glad that she could swim and didn't need to be rescued. In fact, she should thank Prince Jingyang. If it weren't for him, she would have been rescued today. If she was really rescued by a man in public, her reputation would be damaged and she would most likely have to marry him.
Chen Tang changed her skirt and wrung out her hair, and the boat docked.
After this incident, Princess Roujia was no longer in the mood to go boating. If she had known that such an accident would happen while boating, she would have stayed in the mansion and let her mother celebrate her birthday.
Chen Tang couldn't stop sneezing, so the maid brought her ginger soup, and she drank it all in one breath.
Gingko helped her out, and Chen Tang apologized, "I'm really sorry for disrupting the princess' birthday party."
Princess Roujia said, "I'm glad you're all okay, otherwise I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life."
She knew that Chen Tang was pushed into the water, but as for whether Miss Li did it on purpose, she didn't know. Miss Li herself was not in a good situation either. She hugged Young Master Wang like an octopus, and so many eyes saw it. Her reputation was gone.
Miss Li was also helped out by the maid. Her eyes were red and swollen, and the fear brought by the drowning had not completely disappeared. When she saw Chen Tang, her eyes seemed to want to eat Chen Tang alive.
She looked at Chen Tang like this, but Chen Tang didn't feel anything. But she also looked at Chen Xian like this, and Chen Xian was a little flustered, so there was a problem.
When getting off the boat, Gingko whispered to Chen Tang, "When we got on the boat earlier, Miss Li and the eldest girl were clearly talking and laughing..."
Chen Tang's eyes turned cold.
Deep down, I already knew what was going on.
