Chapter 468: Stimulation
We're not leaving anyway, so we can eat some melons together, talk about it, and gossip. Isn't that wonderful? It makes monotonous life less monotonous.
The wife of Marquis Leshan was extremely exhausted. She never expected such a thing to happen.
Fortunately, the banquet can continue.
When her stepmother was around, Mrs. Meng didn't dare to cause trouble, but she would always unconsciously look at Xu Zhichun with hostility in her eyes.
Such persistence and perseverance left Xu Zhichun speechless.
She deliberately stayed alone, and as she expected, Mrs. Meng caught up with her soon.
Xu Zhichun suddenly turned around to face her. Mrs. Meng was startled and her eyes widened in shock before she could retract them.
Xu Zhichun sneered contemptuously.
Mrs. Meng was furious and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Xu Zhichun: "Of course I am—laughing at you."
"you--"
"You tried to act as a matchmaker for my husband, urging him to divorce his wife and remarry, but he refused. So you think he's ungrateful and unhappy, right? But what gives you reason to be unhappy? Do you think all men in this world are like your husband? Once they gain power, they become ungrateful and selfless, abandoning even their humblest wives."
"you!"
"You're angry, so you look down on me in every way? How ridiculous! It's you who did something wrong to me, and yet you look down on me? I should be looking down on you."
"You dare!"
"I dare you, a shameless woman who steals other people's husbands. Let me tell you, there is a sky above, and the heavens have eyes. I'm afraid you may not end up with a good result in the future."
"Shut up!"
"Why are you shutting up? You started it all yourself, and now you're blaming me? What? You're allowed to shamelessly scheme against me, but I'm not allowed to retaliate?"
"You, you country woman—"
"I am now the Marquis's wife."
“.”
Mrs. Meng was so angry that she couldn't believe it. Her breathing became heavy. She stared at Xu Zhichun in helplessness and rage, and couldn't even curse him.
Xu Zhichun smiled slightly: "Don't look at me like that again, you don't deserve it."
After saying that, she walked away.
Mrs. Meng was left disheveled in the wind.
"This bitch! Who the hell is she? Who the hell is she!"
"How dare she, how dare she."
"I want her to look good!"
Mrs. Meng's ferocious expression frightened the maid beside her so much that she shuddered and lowered her head, not daring to look at her.
"Go, help me do something"
Madam Meng calmly gave her instructions to the maidservant beside her, smiled coldly, restrained her expression and walked back.
Everyone strolled around the garden admiring the flowers, chatting and laughing about the latest happenings in the capital, as well as all sorts of gossip. The incident involving the Rong'an Marquis' wife and her sister actually made their spirits even higher, and the atmosphere at the banquet was quite good.
The young ladies and ladies could not sit still, so they went out in groups of three or five to play in the garden. Lady Leshan was very generous and said with a smile that if anyone liked any flowers, they could just pick them and put them in a vase.
Everything else in the garden of Marquis Leshan's mansion was fine, but the water lilies in the water were so numerous and beautiful that they attracted the attention of many people.
After all, the capital is different from other places. The land price is expensive, and each household has a large population. Even if many families have gardens, they are very small, let alone ponds or lakes. It would be great if they could get a few water lilies to put in a vase.
Madam Meng reappeared beside Xu Zhichun and invited him with a smile: "The water lilies at my mother's house are in great shape. Madam Liang, wouldn't you like some? They would look beautiful in a vase."
Xu Zhichun was talking to Lu Yin, and they both turned to look at her.
Xu Zhichun smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Meng is really thoughtful. If that's the case, I'll pick a few too."
A hint of contempt flashed across Mrs. Meng's eyes. She knew that this woman had never seen anything good. How could she not want it if it was given to her for free?
"I'll accompany Madam Liang to choose some good ones for her."
"OK."
Madam Meng was secretly delighted. She deliberately coaxed Xu Zhichun to the water's edge, intending to push her in. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhichun and Lu Yin were both secretly staring at her. When she tried to move, Lu Yin quickly grabbed Xu Zhichun and said, "Be careful!"
He subconsciously kicked out and kicked Mrs. Meng into the water.
"Ah! Help, help!"
"Oh no! Someone fell into the water. Help!"
The ladies, maids and servants nearby were all startled and ran over in a hurry, shouting and yelling.
Unexpectedly, a servant ran faster than them. Before anyone could say anything, he rushed over and jumped down without hesitation. In a few seconds, he swam to Madam Meng and held her in his arms.
"Don't panic, ma'am. I'm here to save you."
The maid who was about to go into the water said: "."
Everyone on the shore: “.”
Madam Meng was terrified, angry, and anxious. She struggled subconsciously, choked on the water, and shouted angrily: "Let me go! Let me go! It's me! It's me!" "I was wrong! It's me!"
The servant didn't see the people clearly at all. The water was splashing everywhere, and his face was covered with water droplets and broken hair, so he couldn't tell who was who. Moreover, even if he could see clearly, the servant was a waiter outside the second gate and was not familiar with the young lady in the mansion. He had no idea that he had made a mistake.
Seeing her struggle, he hugged her tighter, "Don't be afraid, Madam! I will definitely rescue you to shore!"
"Ah! Asshole! Let me go!"
The wife of Marquis Leshan and others hurried over. Seeing this, they felt dizzy and the veins on their foreheads throbbed.
"What's going on! What are you still standing there for? Go down and pull that person up!"
The maidservants who could swim woke up as if from a dream, and two or three of them jumped into the water in a hurry. They finally managed to snatch Madam Meng from the servant's hands.
The servant was not happy at first, and kept shouting, "I can save the lady! I can save her! As long as I can save the lady, that's all!"
The wife of Marquis Leshan could no longer bear it and scolded him angrily, so he shrank his neck and shut up.
The ladies all looked puzzled, and finally one of them couldn't help but ask, "We're having a banquet in the inner courtyard, why would this boy come here when he's fine?"
“That’s right!”
“It’s a bit too much.”
The wife of Marquis Leshan said that only female relatives would attend the banquet today, and that the young master of the family had not hosted a blind date banquet for the noble young men. It is not appropriate for a servant to run out of the backyard for no reason.
In such situations, even if a servant had to be used to deliver something, there would not be only one person, and it was even more impossible for him to jump into the water to save someone on his own initiative.
The wife of Marquis Leshan was furious. "It must be that the maid at the second gate was lazy and let this servant in. I will investigate thoroughly later and I promise that this will never happen again."
The servant was about to say something when Lady Leshan ordered, "Take him away!"
"lady!"
"If you say anything more, you'll be beaten to death!"
The servant was so frightened that he dared not say a word.
Xu Zhichun looked at Madam Meng, who collapsed on the ground, clutching her chest, coughing and gasping for air. He said, "Just now, Madam Meng was shouting something in the water, 'It's my fault!' I wonder what she meant. What was wrong? It was you? Was Madam Meng revealing her identity to that servant? That's strange."
