Chapter 53 Song Rui Falls into a Deep Pool
After breakfast the next day, the Song family set off north.
Chen Chunhua had been pampered for many years, and her buttocks or arms would hurt when she sat in a carriage.
We had to stop to rest every hour and a half, which greatly slowed down our progress northward.
"Lan'er, at this rate, it will take us three days to reach Banshan Yunyin. Go and tell Ah Si to cover his face when we're almost there. The shopkeeper has seen us, and we can't let anyone know."
Bai Lan was dumbfounded. "If the young lady hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. Not only does Ah Si need to cover his face, but we also need to wrap ourselves up tightly, especially the teardrop mole at the corner of the young lady's eye."
Song Yu smiled and said, "Then just blindfold yourself and help me."
Bai Lan hurried forward to support Song Yu, "Let's go to the waterfall to cool off for a while?"
At this time, Chen Chunhua was being served by Nanny Wen and others. She sat under the awning built under the waterfall, eating watermelon and drinking health-preserving herbal tea comfortably.
Beside him were Song Mingzhu and Cui.
Song Yu frowned when he saw this. He was planning to travel around the country before heading to the capital.
Song Yu tilted her head to see Song Mingen fanning her mother diligently with an umbrella, and she felt somewhat envious of her parents' affection.
"Daddy and Mommy, can I go to the waterfall to cool off for a while?"
"Go ahead, and be careful not to catch a cold."
Song Rui had just fished out a grass carp from the deep pool. Seeing Song Yu coming over, he hurriedly waved, "Sister, come here quickly."
Seeing that the fish in Song Rui's hand was fat and big, Song Yu ran over while lifting her skirt.
"Brother, where did you catch this big fish?"
"There's a deep pool inside the waterfall, and there are so many fish in it, you can catch one with every net."
"Lan'er, let's go in and take a look."
"Sister, be careful."
Song Rui hurriedly threw the big fish to the servant and followed in with the big fishing net.
"Sister, please stay away from the deep pool and let me come."
As Song Rui was speaking, he saw Song Yu bending down to look into the deep pool, and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
Looking back through the water curtain, I couldn't see clearly what was happening to Song Mingen and the others outside.
"It's okay, big brother. Give me the fishing net quickly. I want to catch a big fish."
"Let Big Brother come."
"No, I want to catch and grill it myself. Lan'er, bring me the fishing net."
Bai Lan hurriedly took the fishing net from Song Rui and handed it to Song Yu.
"Miss, be careful."
Song Yu took the fishing net and quickly glanced at Song Rui's expression, then focused on the fish in the pond, picking out the big ones.
"Sister, be careful, don't slip." Song Rui reminded her while standing behind Song Yu in a protective posture.
"Hush! Be quiet. You've scared the fish away."
Song Yu scolded him and turned his attention back to the deep pool.
Bai Lan bent over and stretched most of her body above the deep pool.
Song Rui clenched his fists, turned his head to look outside the water curtain, and his feet unconsciously took another step towards Song Yu.
He took a deep breath and reached out to Song Yu's back.
With just a gentle push, there would be no need for my aunt to arrange the subsequent scene.
Accidents are the best solution.
Just as Song Rui's hand touched Song Yu's back, hurried footsteps were heard outside the water curtain.
Song Rui felt guilty and quickly withdrew his hand.
I could only hear my own heart pounding.
Ah Si rushed in and said, "Miss, let me catch the fish."
"A Si, go find a big bucket."
"Oh." Asi turned around and left the deep pool again.
"Brother, I caught a big fish, it's so heavy, come and help me."
The fish in the net flapped their wings fiercely, and the splashing water wet Song Yu's clothes.
Seeing this, Song Rui was secretly delighted, "Sister, let me help you."
Song Rui quickly squatted to the right side of Song Yu, grabbed the net pole with his right hand, and slammed his left shoulder towards Song Yu.
"Then big brother, you pull the net!"
Song Yu jumped to the left like a rabbit, and at the same time threw away the net pole in his hand.
Song Rui lost weight and plunged into the deep pool.
"Ah! Big Brother." Song Yu was quick to grab Song Rui's collar and screamed, "Big Brother, don't let go. I'll pull you up."
"Miss!" Bai Lan's face turned pale with fright, and she instinctively hugged Song Yu's waist and pulled her back.
"Don't pull me, I'm about to fall."
Seeing that Song Yu was about to lose her strength, Song Rui showed fear on his face, "Sister, don't let go."
Song Rui clung to the mossy edge of the pond with his other hand, holding on with great difficulty.
"Brother, I... I... can't hold on any longer. Someone come quickly, help me, Daddy, uncle, aunt... Wuuuuuuu..."
There were footsteps outside the rain, and Song Yu immediately lost his strength and let go. At that moment, Song Rui's other hand also couldn't hold on and slipped down.
A dark shadow jumped into the deep pool as fast as lightning.
After half an incense stick.
Cui looked at the unconscious Song Rui with worry.
Song Minglang sat aside, anxious.
Qiuyue finished the examination quickly, and Chen Chunhua hurriedly asked, "How is it, is Rui brother okay?"
"Old Madam, Young Master Rui just choked on some water and caught a slight cold..."
Before Qiuyue could finish her words, Chen Chunhua seemed to have lost her mind and started cursing at Song Yu.
"You evil villain! It's such a deep pool, and you actually let Rui Ge'er fish for you. Do you have any conscience? Do you want to kill your eldest brother?!"
"Who are you calling the troublemaker?!"
Song Mingen's face immediately darkened and his voice became cold and loud.
Everyone was shocked.
Song Minglang's eyebrows twitched: Big brother's expression change is so scary.
Cui: Brother, are you crazy?
Song Mingzhu: ...
Song Yu seemed frightened and hid behind Jiang Yunwan.
"Didn't Sister Yu just say it was an accident? It was an accident! She didn't want to see Brother Rui fall into the deep pool and become unconscious! And Li Si also said it was Sister Yu who desperately pulled Brother Rui up, otherwise he wouldn't have been rescued so quickly!"
Chen Chunhua was really frightened by Song Mingen's sudden roar, and her heart was trembling.
She got angry and said, "I'm her grandmother, so why can't I say a few words to her? But you, what's the tone you use when talking to me? I raised you so old, and now you want to yell at me because of Song Yu, huh?"
"Mother." Seeing this, Song Mingzhu hurriedly spoke to comfort Chen Chunhua, "Brother is not angry with you. He is just worried. Brother Rui is still awake, and I am also worried. Don't worry, Rui will wake up soon."
"Yes, old lady, don't worry, Master Rui will wake up soon. He will be fine after drinking a bowl of ginger water."
Qiuyue also didn't expect that the old lady loved Young Master Rui so much.
They couldn't wait for her to finish her words and started to criticize Song Yu.
It seems that the daughter of the Marquis is not having a good time in the Song Mansion.
Hearing this, Chen Chunhua's anger subsided by half. Seeing Song Mingen's cold face, she felt resentful in her heart.
It’s really hard to tame it!
She actually offended her adoptive mother for the sake of an adopted daughter!
It would be disastrous if he knew that she was not her biological mother.
"Mother, it was my fault. Please calm down."
They haven't fallen out yet, but Song Mingen still has to take responsibility for what he said just now.
Seeing Song Mingen give in, Chen Chunhua's remaining anger dissipated. With a stern face, she said unhappily, "Rui'er is your eldest nephew. Now he's frightened. If you don't comfort him, mother won't forgive you!"
"Brother Rui is my nephew, and I am his uncle, so I will naturally do my best to help him."
The premise is that Song Rui is really his nephew.
Chen Chunhua's expression softened considerably after hearing this. "If you dare to speak to mother like that next time, you'll be punished by the family rules!"
"Yes." Song Mingen responded respectfully with a forced smile.
"Brother is awake."
Song Yu suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at Song Rui.
