"Yaoyao——" Chen Jie turned around and stuffed Lin Shuwan into Lin Shuyan's arms. He lowered his head and jumped, catching Du Yaoyao under the lake.
We took the boat ashore and arrived at a room. Yin Ye stepped forward in a hurry, "Sir, can I help Madam bathe and change clothes?"
Chen Jie held Du Yaoyao in his arms, his face ashen and his aura violent and fierce.
"roll!"
Like a lion whose beloved thing has been taken away.
Yin Ye shrank back in fear, Liu Er pulled Yin Ye over, "Young Master knows everything and can take good care of Madam."
Yin Ye nodded hurriedly, remembering that Chen Jie was no match for the sons of the capital's noble families. He came from a poor family and was meticulous in his work. After sleeping with his wife, he seldom called in maids to serve him.
Du Yaoyao vomited a few mouthfuls of water and felt cold all over, as if she was in an ice cellar. I wiped my body with hot water and stayed in the quilt for a long time, and my hands and feet gradually warmed up.
When ancient people went out to visit someone, they usually brought two sets of clothes as a backup. Chen Jie simply tidied himself, poured a cup of hot tea and fed it to the person on the bed.
Du Yaoyao took a few sips and shook her head, "I don't want to drink anymore."
Chen Jie sat quietly beside the bed. She did not mention Lin Shuwan's fall into the water, and he did not ask either.
When he fished her out of the lake, Du Yaoyao heard many people shouting or whispering in a daze. for example:
"Du Yaoyao was a delicate landlubber last year, how come she is so good at swimming this year?"
"Why didn't Madam Shen let the maid rescue Shu Wan, but had to wait until Lord Shen came? What did she want to do?"
“The maid said that it was Madam Shen who pushed Miss Lin into the water, but Madam Shen was the first to jump into the lake to save her and almost drowned…”
"Who is sincere, me or Madam Shen?"
…
Du Yaoyao rubbed her temples for a while and forced herself to sit up. Chen Jie had remained silent. He must have a lot of doubts and needed an explanation from her.
Du Yaoyao started with the jade pendant, "Do you still remember the jade pendant you gave me on New Year's Eve?"
Shen Jie nodded, motioning for her to continue.
"After we separated, I went into the backyard garden and accidentally heard two maids from the Lin residence discussing your jade pendant."
"What's up?"
"It is said that your jade pendant is a pair of dragon and phoenix jade ornaments. You and your cousin each hold one as a token of your love."
Shen Jie pulled his lips, “Nonsense.”
"I know." Du Yaoyao said, "Yours was given by my mother, and your cousin's was probably given by her uncle or aunt. I guess that when my grandfather was young, he had a pair of children, and he specially made a pair of jade pendants for the children." She speculated based on the known information.
"Um."
"The person who said this is Qiuyue who is beside my cousin."
Chen Jie had an impression of Qiuyue, who was tall and dark-skinned. She had served Lin Shuwan for some time and was also the maid who served Du Yaoyao's boatman today.
Du Yaoyao pretended to be confused, "Why did Qiuyue mislead me like this? What was her purpose? If I had my previous temper, I don't know what I would have done..." The last sentence was an intentional or unintentional hint.
If it were the original owner's explosive temper, he would most likely act impulsively and do something stupid, which would be irreparable.
——If I don’t kill Lin Shuwan, I’ll at least skin her alive.
Acting in this way would inevitably create a feud between Chen Jie and the Lin family.
This is exactly what would make Prince Chen applaud.
Chen Jie thought about what Du Yaoyao could think of for a moment and had an idea in his mind.
