Chapter 584 Hao Ting was almost pushed into the water
Song Yuntang was very disappointed with his friend.
"You are still quite selective now. If you wait a few years, someone else will choose you. You can't let grandma worry about your marriage on her deathbed, right?"
Thinking of his bedridden elder at home, Xu Wencheng finally compromised.
Today the weather is clear and the sky is bright. The young ladies, young ladies and young men in Beijing have invited each other to have an outing at Taoxi Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, and have prepared many entertaining activities.
It is called an outing, but in a certain sense, it also means a blind date.
The young ladies gathered together with their children, watching the maids and their children playing nearby while eating snacks, drinking tea and chatting.
The young ladies and gentlemen formed groups of three or five freely, flying kites, chatting, or reciting poems.
Xu Wencheng had no friends in Beijing, and he couldn't get along with these people, so he didn't join in the fun. In order to reduce Song Yuntang's burden, he took Hao Ting away from her and took him to go fishing under a wooden shed by the lake.
Looking at the figure in the distance, Song Yuntang felt a little worried.
In this case, it is not easy to help him get married.
Suddenly I remembered the scene when I first came here and was urged to get married by Song’s parents.
After all, this place is different from the previous life.
Once a person becomes immune to worldly affairs, he will be subject to many malicious remarks.
But she would not force Xu Wencheng to make a decision. After all, she was his future wife, and he had to be satisfied with her.
At this moment, a woman led two maids and set up fishing rods in a wooden shed not far away from the uncle and nephew.
Because they were close, Xu Wencheng looked to the side curiously, but he only glanced at them quickly and quickly looked away, continuing to talk to Hao Ting about fishing techniques.
Soon, Hao Ting's small fishing rod pulled up two small crucian carps and a bream, and he clapped his hands excitedly.
The woman not far away sat there for half an hour, but not a single fish was caught.
Seeing that a kid was better at fishing than himself, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Xu Wencheng.
I wanted to go up and ask.
But she didn't know Xu Wencheng, and when she saw that he was with a child, she thought he was the child's father.
Adhering to the principle that married men should not be provoked, she suppressed the thoughts in her heart and just stared at the floating object in the water quietly.
Immediately afterwards, Hao Ting saw the float in the water move and hurriedly pulled the fishing rod up.
"Uncle, another fish has been hooked!"
Seeing this, Xu Wencheng smiled and held his fishing rod to prevent the child from falling into the water due to his lack of strength.
At this moment, a woman suddenly appeared not far behind the uncle and nephew and rushed towards them quickly.
Xu Wencheng's attention was on Hao Ting and the fishing rod at the moment, and he did not notice the movement behind him.
The woman who was fishing not far from them happened to glance over here. As the situation was urgent, she did not care about maintaining the dignity of a lady and hurriedly shouted towards this side.
"Be careful, there's someone behind you!"
Xu Wencheng heard the sound coming from the side, loosened his grip on the fishing rod, and turned around while holding Hao Ting to avoid the vicious attack of the person who came.
His reaction was so quick that the woman in the wooden shed who reminded him didn't even notice his movements carefully.
Therefore, there was a look of surprise on his face.
The woman who rushed up had no obstruction in front of her, so she dived straight into the water, drinking water and struggling in the water.
"Help! Help!"
The commotion here naturally attracted Song Yuntang's attention.
She was so shocked that she stood up immediately.
Seeing that Hao Ting was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of someone peeking out of the woods not far behind his uncle and nephew, so he winked at Xia Ning who was standing beside him.
"Don't let anyone get away."
Xia Ning clasped his fists.
"Don't worry, ma'am, he can't run away."
After saying that, he quickly went over there.
Song Yuntang handed Yun Xiao in his arms to Jinshu beside him, asked her to follow him, and then he lifted his skirt and ran to the lake.
Xu Wencheng, who reacted quickly but realized it late, raised his hand and bowed to the woman in the wooden shed not far away after he came to his senses.
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss."
The woman smiled shyly.
"I just saw something unfair, no need to be polite."
Having said that, he sat down again in the arbour.
Song Yuntang came to the lake, held Hao Ting in his arms and looked him over.
"Are you okay?"
Hao Ting shook his head.
"I'm fine, don't worry, mother. It was my second uncle who saved me."
Xu Wencheng felt a little embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't pay attention to what was behind me just now, and almost let Hao Ting fall into the water."
Although it is not winter today, it is still a little chilly.
If you really fall into the water and are blown by the mountain wind, you will definitely get sick even if you take a carriage back home in time.
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"It's hard to guard against other people's evil intentions. It's not your fault. Fortunately, you reacted quickly just now, so Hao Ting didn't fall into the lake."
Xu Wencheng pointed to a woman who was fishing not far away.
"It was that lady who reminded me."
Otherwise, he might have gone into the water with Hao Ting just now.
Song Yuntang knew what was going on and planned to solve the current problem first and then thank the lady in person.
She looked at the woman who had been pulled up with a stick not far away. She was huddled on the ground with her arms folded, looking very pitiful. The material of her clothes was not expensive, and there was no valuable jewelry in her hair. She was dressed like a maid.
Song Yuntang walked forward and looked coldly at the woman on the ground.
"What's your name? Whose house are you from? Why did you push my son into this? Tell me the truth, and I may be able to spare your life."
The maid was so frightened that she lay on the ground and dared not move.
Someone just gave her ten taels of silver.
Let her push the child by the lake into the water, and then leave while the man next to her is rescuing the child. After the task is completed, go find her and collect the ten taels of silver.
The person who had just come to look for her looked like an ordinary maid, and no one knew which mansion she came from.
If my mother hadn’t been seriously ill recently and urgently needed money for her treatment.
Besides, there were people around the child, so his life would not be in danger even if he really went into the water.
Otherwise she would never do such a thing.
When she heard the lady in front of her call herself a princess, she knew that she was finished.
Although there is more than one princess in the capital, there are not many princesses of this age who have two young children. Princess Le'an, who has become famous in the past two years, is one of them.
Princess Le'an is a kind-hearted doctor and would not do anything to her, but she has a stingy husband and a brother-in-law who just returned from the battlefield and made great contributions and was named a general.
These two adults don't seem like people who are easy to mess with.
Thinking of this, the maid kowtowed to Song Yuntang nervously.
"I was blind and didn't know that this young master was the princess's child. I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me, princess!"
If she knew who gave her the money just now, she could also expose the person behind it. Anyway, she had no relationship with the other party.
But she didn't know him.
But you can't put all the blame on yourself.
"Forgive me?" Song Yuntang looked at her, intimidating her without even getting angry. "If my son had been alone just now, he would have fallen into the water. It's February or March now, and the lake water is icy cold. Even if his life is not in danger, he will be seriously ill after returning home. How can I forgive you for your sins?"
