While in the water, Fan Weiwei was unable to breathe normally or call for help. In addition, Liu Yuexiang was holding her down and pinching her, causing her to swallow a lot of water in the emergency, and she couldn't bear it and fainted.
Liu Yuexiang also felt that she had held her breath to the limit and could no longer hold on, so she lifted Fan Weiwei and swam upwards.
The lake was still quite deep, and the people on the boat were in a panic. The boatman and several servants who knew how to swim went down to rescue them immediately, but they couldn't find them.
The group of young ladies on the boat were in no mood to appreciate flowers or paint; they were all extremely anxious.
They were really anxious. At first, they just wanted to teach Liu Yuexiang a lesson, but who would have thought that Fan Weiwei would also fall down?
Furthermore, the boatmen and servants have been searching the spot where they fell into the water, but there has been no trace of them. Could it be that they both perished?
Among them, the young ladies from the Lu family who came later were probably not really panicked. They all knew that Liu Yuexiang could swim and that she was a smart person, so although they kept cooperating with everyone to shout for help, they did not seem to be in a panic.
The crowd searched the spot where they had fallen into the water, unaware that Liu Yuexiang was pulling Fan Weiwei towards the shore. Since they weren't far away, no one would suspect anything.
"Look! Sister Yuexiang is over there!"
Youya was the first to see it and shouted excitedly. Everyone looked over and saw Liu Yuexiang dragging Fan Weiwei ashore. Soon, a lot of people gathered on the shore to watch the excitement.
Fan Weiwei's maid was frantic on the boat, tears streaming down her face. She hadn't kept an eye on her mistress, causing her to fall into the water. Now she had been taken to the shore and was being watched by a crowd, her reputation completely ruined. The worst part was that she hadn't even seen how her mistress fell into the water. Madam was determined to beat her to death!
"Get ashore quickly, quick!"
The other ladies naturally understood what this meant. They had a good relationship with Fan Weiwei and didn't want her to become a laughingstock.
But a large crowd had already gathered on the shore, and it was too late to get there now.
Meanwhile, on the shore, Fan Weiwei was soaking wet and unconscious. Her dress clung to her body in disarray. Because of the hot weather, she was also wearing a gauze skirt, which became extremely transparent when it touched the water, making it impossible to conceal her graceful figure.
Among the onlookers were some men with active minds, who were openly sizing them up.
On the contrary, Liu Yuexiang, who also fell into the water, was wearing a cotton dress that wasn't too see-through. Moreover, Liu Yuexiang was conscious and quickly tidied herself up when she noticed something was wrong. In comparison, she was much better off than Fan Weiwei.
At this moment, Liu Yuexiang knelt down next to Fan Weiwei, crying her heart out: "Help! Is there any kind person who can help me get a doctor? Waaah... It's all my fault for being useless and failing to save Miss Fan in time!"
While shouting, she pinched Fan Weiwei's philtrum and pressed her chest, looking like she was urgently trying to save her.
"Miss Fan, how could you be so careless? Waaaaah! We were all out having fun together. If something happens to you, how are we supposed to survive!"
"Luckily, I can swim a little, otherwise... otherwise I really don't want to think about it, sob sob sob..."
She spoke through tears, explaining in just a few words why Fan Weiwei had fallen into the water.
Everyone then understood that Fan Weiwei had accidentally fallen into the water, and the young woman beside her had only gone in to save her after seeing her fall in.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, "What a kind-hearted young lady!"
When the noble ladies arrived, Liu Yuexiang said everything that should and shouldn't have been said. And look at how she cried for Fan Weiwei; it didn't seem fake at all. Even if the girls wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn't have an excuse.
Lianhua found a cloak and draped it over Liu Yuexiang. Fan Weiwei's maid also rushed forward to hug her mistress, crying as if a murder had occurred.
Fortunately, Fan Weiwei was not seriously injured. After being held down by Liu Yuexiang for so long, she finally woke up after spitting out some water.
She was a little stunned by the situation, but when she saw Liu Yuexiang being protected by lotus flowers, she instinctively wanted to rush over and hit her.
She knew that Liu Yuexiang had dragged her into the water, even holding her underwater to prevent her from calling for help, and choking her underwater.
How could we not avenge this!
To those unaware of the situation, this behavior seemed outrageous.
Miss Fan is going too far! This young lady saved her, and not only did she not thank her when she woke up, she even tried to lay a hand on her. How can this be allowed!
People around immediately started talking, saying that Fan Weiwei was unreasonable and domineering.
Liu Yuexiang cried even more aggrievedly in Lianhua's arms, but still didn't forget to defend Fan Weiwei: "I appreciate everyone's kindness, but this can't be blamed on Miss Fan. She is the daughter of the Vice Minister's family and has never encountered such a disaster before. She must have been frightened. It's alright..."
Fan Weiwei's eyes were practically spitting fire. This bitch actually went out of her way to reveal her identity, as if she was afraid others wouldn't know who she was!
"You bitch, it's clearly you..."
Fan Weiwei tried to lunge forward again, but was held down by a maid. The other noble ladies also knew that this was not the time to talk about these things, so they hurriedly had someone take Fan Weiwei away.
The others gave Liu Yuexiang a deep look, feeling that they had underestimated the daughter of the county magistrate.
Even if you're angry, you can't show it too much, since so many people are watching.
Not wanting to talk to Liu Yuexiang, he said to Lianhua, "Miss Qin, given this unexpected incident, we'll head back now. See you next time."
Lianhua smiled politely and said, "Then let's meet again next time. Miss Fan's condition doesn't seem to be very good. We should ask a doctor to take a look as soon as possible."
The other person looked very unhappy, but still forced a smile and then led everyone away.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the onlookers dispersed.
Only the group of young girls from the Lu family remained on the shore. They exchanged glances and saw smiles in each other's eyes.
Zhang Lanxiang silently gave a thumbs up, "My cousin is awesome."
Lotus said, "This is not a good place to talk. Let's go back first."
Inside the carriage, Zhang Lanxiang said worriedly, "Cousin, you've really offended Miss Fan. She'll definitely retaliate. What are we going to do?"
"I'm not afraid, she hurt me first!"
Liu Yuexiang snorted and continued, "No matter what, I saved her today. I am her savior. And she can't produce any evidence that I harmed her. She wouldn't dare to do anything to me openly. As for secretly, if she wants to harm me, I'm not one to be trifled with!"
Lotus nodded and said, "Yes, they were the ones who had ill intentions first. Even if they want revenge, we're not afraid. In the end, it's hard to say who will suffer! As for you, you've been soaking in the water for so long. When you get back, remember to ask your aunt for some medicine pills so you don't catch a cold."
Liu Yuexiang agreed, feeling secretly delighted.
The Lu family is fiercely protective of their own, which is evident in every aspect of their behavior. As long as she is wholeheartedly devoted to the Lu family, she can also benefit from their protection.
