Chapter 81 I can’t wake you up with my fan!
Hearing the ridicule from the crowd, Ji Lingzhu's face turned pale and red, and she was extremely embarrassed for a moment.
She clenched her five fingers tightly, digging her fingertips into her palms, and only then did she hold back her tears.
Jiang Wanning sneered.
"Did you hear that? This is what they really say. Don't think that just because they praise you, you really think you're a big shot. Don't you have any idea of your own worth?
If you were really that capable, you wouldn't have come here to fight with a woman you look down upon, for a worthless man!"
Shen Yu'an was unhappy when he heard this.
"No, mother...just say what you want to say about her. Why are you scolding me?"
Jiang Wanning glanced at him.
"Shouldn't you be scolding me? Zhizhi was in such danger just now, and you didn't go to help her. Instead, you were concerned about others... With a husband as inconsiderate as you, it would be better for Zhizhi to be a widow and suffer less!"
After saying that, Jiang Wanning turned around, not wanting to listen to even a single word of excuse from this rebellious son.
"Zhizhi, let's go and ignore this unlucky thing!"
"Um!"
Shen Yu'an: "..."
Ji Lingzhu stood there, feeling that Jiang's words hurt her face more than a slap in the face, especially since the eyes of everyone present were increasingly contemptuous and disdainful, looking at her as if she were a joke.
Even the palace maids beside her seemed to be laughing at her.
Sitting in the main seat, seeing Ji Lingzhu keeping silent, Concubine Li couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
How could this girl from the Ji family be so patient? They didn't even start a fight, and she was still thinking of finding a reason to punish her and show favor to her future sister-in-law.
It was all in vain.
However, thinking that there was more fun to watch next, Concubine Li became interested again and urged.
"Why don't you two go change your sweaty clothes and come back to receive your reward!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Song Zhizhi was the first to respond, bowed to the emperor and Concubine Li, and then walked away with the palace servant leading the way.
Ji Lingzhu hesitated for a moment, then responded in a low voice.
Then he ran forward and hurriedly followed Song Zhizhi.
Shen Yu'an sat back in his seat. Although he was scolded by his mother, he still felt happy when he thought about the limelight Song Zhizhi had just shown on the polo field.
What he did just now was a little wrong, and he was afraid that Zhizhi might have misunderstood.
After Zhizhi received the reward from the Imperial Concubine, he would go back and explain to her that Lingzhu was injured because of him and he couldn't just leave her alone.
But he promised that this would definitely be the last time.
Zhizhi cares about him so much, she will definitely forgive him, right?
Jiang Wanning sat aside, squinting at his useless appearance, and couldn't help but find it funny... Zhizhi was rewarded, and he was also flattered?
If he knew what kind of reward Zhizhi wanted, he would not be able to smile.
…
After a while.
But the palace maid who had led the way came back hurriedly and spoke in a panic.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... It's bad! Miss Ji and the Second Young Master's wife fell into the water!"
"What?"
Concubine Li was shocked.
Before he could ask in detail, he saw Shen Yunan stand up from his seat and rush over.
Jiang Wanning stiffened his fists slightly upon hearing this, and followed up with a kick.
If she remembered correctly, this scene seemed to be in the original text, but it didn't happen at the celebration banquet, but in the deep winter half a year later.
The location is not in the palace.
At that time, Song Zhizhi was pregnant and was pushed into the freezing water by Ji Lingzhu, who also pretended to fall into the water.
However, Shen Yu'an knew that Song Zhizhi could swim but Ji Lingzhu couldn't, so he went to save Ji Lingzhu first.
As a result, Song Zhizhi's feet were entangled by the water plants at the bottom of the lake, and she drowned because she couldn't break free.
When she woke up, the child was gone.
It seems that as long as Song Zhizhi doesn't completely stay away from the scumbag, or Ji Lingzhu can continue to flutter, the way of heaven will automatically correct the direction of the plot and make it develop into a melodramatic one.
It's so annoying.
I really want to pull out this Heavenly Dao and give it a good beating to make it behave itself!
…
The group hurried to the bridge.
Sure enough, Song Zhizhi and Ji Lingzhu both fell into the water. They were very close to each other and were struggling constantly.
A palace maid had jumped into the river before them and was swimming towards the two of them.
Shen Yu'an pretended to jump into the river.
However, Jiang Wanning grabbed the collar from the back of his neck and pulled him back like a chicken, catching him off guard and making him lose his balance and take two steps back.
He was a little annoyed.
"Mother! Saving lives is like putting out a fire. Why are you pulling me?!"
Jiang Wanning narrowed his eyes, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Who are you going to rescue?"
Shen Yu'an said anxiously.
"Of course I'm going to save Zhizhi! What a strange question you ask, mother!"
Jiang Wanning: “???”
All right.
It seems that my beating of him during this period was not in vain, and it has helped him to make some progress.
Letting go of his hand, Jiang Wanning kicked him directly, sending him plummeting into the river!
"Then hurry up!"
"Oh."
Shen Yu'an let out a low cry and was kicked down, falling into the river with a splash.
Jiang Wanning stood on the bridge, plucking his eyebrows and looking down.
Although it is not winter now and the water is not that cold, there is no guarantee that the situation will not repeat itself and that Zhizhi will be safe and sound.
Especially Ji Lingzhu, who was clearly pretending to be drowning, clapping her hands wildly and pushing Song Zhizhi into the water with all her strength.
Otherwise, Song Zhizhi would have probably swam ashore in just a short while.
"Wuwu... Help! Help..."
Ji Lingzhu was struggling in the water, calling for help intermittently, and pulling Song Zhizhi down with all her might!
It’s all this damn bitch’s fault!
He deliberately concealed his incompetence and made fun of her, causing her to lose face in front of all the civil and military officials in the court!
If Song Zhizhi makes her life difficult, she will never let her live easily!
If we have to die, let’s die together!
I didn't expect Ji Lingzhu to be so crazy. Even though she was choking on water repeatedly, she still wanted to drag her to the bottom of the water. Song Zhizhi couldn't break free and also choked on water several times.
This really pissed her off!
What a person! Not only did he steal her husband, but he also wanted her life. Did he really think she was easy to bully?
Pulling out the hairpin on her head, Song Zhizhi ruthlessly stabbed Ji Lingzhu's wrist hard, leaving a long cut on her arm!
"ah--"
Ji Lingzhu suddenly felt pain and instinctively let go of her hand.
Only then did Song Zhizhi push her away, turned around and swam towards the shore.
Shen Yu'an arrived late, swam to her side, and reached out to support her.
"Zhizhi! Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
“Bang!”
Song Zhizhi slapped him in the face and kicked him away.
"Don't touch me! Get away!"
My mother-in-law was right. Shen Yu'an was an unlucky guy. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have to suffer this.
She now felt unlucky even to look at him, and wished he would die far away and never appear in front of her again!
"Zhizhi..."
Shen Yu'an was a little dazed by her slap, and subconsciously wanted to chase her again.
Suddenly, I heard the screams of people on the shore.
"Ah! So much blood... Why is there blood in the water?!"
"Is anyone injured?"
"Oh no, Miss Ji is sinking..."
"Hurry up, you guys, swim over and save them!"
Hearing everyone's calls, Shen Yu'an turned around to look.
I saw a large amount of blood slowly spreading in the water not far away, and Ji Lingzhu, who was struggling on the water just now, had sunk and was motionless.
"Lingzhu——"
Shen Yu'an became anxious when he saw this, thinking that Ji Lingzhu's wound had split open, so he gritted his teeth and swam towards her again.
Jiang Wanning stood on the bridge.
“╰_╯”
It seems that this slap cannot be saved.
Shen Yu'an's conscience may be late, but the motherly love she gives will not be absent, it will only arrive early!
…
A moment later.
Song Zhizhi swam to the shore and climbed ashore first with the help of the palace servants.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Seeing that her face was pale, she kept coughing, and there was blood on her sleeve, Jiang Wanning couldn't help but walk forward quickly and said with concern.
"Zhizhi, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Song Zhizhi shook her head and spoke in a hoarse voice after a while.
“It’s not me…”
Jiang Wanning went to support her arm and felt the hairpin in her hand. He quickly understood what was going on and felt relieved. He reached out and patted her shoulder.
Comforting.
"I'm glad you're okay. Go change into clean clothes first, and let me take care of this."
"Um."
Song Zhizhi nodded, without trying to show off, and slowly walked away with the support of the palace maid.
Not long.
Shen Yu'an then swam to the shore with the unconscious Ji Lingzhu on one foot, and the palace servants hurriedly pulled the two up.
"Lingzhu! Wake up! Lingzhu..."
Seeing Ji Lingzhu covered in blood and her lips so pale that they were almost bloodless, Shen Yu'an couldn't help but pat her cheek anxiously and called her several times.
Ji Lingzhu finally woke up, and then suddenly changed into a panic expression, as if to throw herself into Shen Yu'an's arms.
"Brother, brother, save me... cough cough! My sister-in-law wants to kill me..."
After hearing this, Shen Yu'an seemed to think of Song Zhizhi and immediately turned around.
But there was no sign of Song Zhizhi.
Seeing Jiang Wanning coming towards him, he subconsciously opened his mouth to ask.
"Mother, Zhizhi she——"
“Bang!”
