When the people around Shen Yunxi heard what she said, they all comforted her, saying that it was because the wooden fence was broken and had nothing to do with her, so she didn't need to blame herself for her sister falling into the water.
Faced with everyone's comforting words, Shen Yunxi nodded, her expression remaining unchanged.
The farce unfolded before Junxuan's eyes, who was standing not far away. He had just seen Shen Leyi trying to attack Shen Yunxi, and he almost couldn't help but call out to stop her.
Fortunately, Shen Yunxi was prepared, so nothing bad happened.
Ji Shaoyue was also startled. "Jinyu, look at that Shen Leyi, she's really no good. She even tried to scheme against Miss Shen. Miss Shen used to treat her so well, but I never expected her to be such a black-hearted person. She's truly despicable!"
Originally, Ji Shaoyue disliked the Shen family because Shen Yunxi was clinging to Jun Xuan. Now that he found that Jun Xuan's attitude had changed, he changed his opinion of Shen Yunxi. However, he still loathed Shen Leyi, especially after seeing that she almost harmed Shen Yunxi.
Junxuan's eyes were deep, and he was also angry, but not at Shen Leyi, but at Shen Yunxi.
It was obvious that Shen Yunxi knew Shen Leyi was going to attack her, but she hadn't considered her own safety at all. If she wasn't careful, Shen Yunxi might be the one who fell into the water.
If Shen Yunxi falls into the water, even if she is lucky enough to be rescued, there are so many men around, and if her body is seen, her reputation will be completely ruined.
I really don't understand why she would rather use herself as a target than use other methods to deal with Shen Leyi.
This girl has some nerve!
But in the next instant, Junxuan's mind went blank, and he was slightly dazed.
Shen Yunxi's situation had nothing to do with him, so he shouldn't be so angry and shouldn't care about her.
Junxuan took a deep breath. "Don't worry about it. What happens to her is none of our business. Just take a look."
Ji Shaoyue stared at Jun Xuan with considerable surprise, seemingly not understanding why he would think that way. He clearly cared a lot, so why would he say that?
Ji Shaoyue could see clearly that his expression just now was genuine.
Could it be that because of Shen Yunxi's relationship with the Empress Dowager, Junxuan had to suppress his feelings and couldn't have any other emotions towards her?
“In that case, let’s see. Miss Shen seems to be much smarter than usual. I heard before that she trusted her sister very much and always thought her sister was very good, so she didn’t even know she was being schemed against. Now it seems that the rumors were false,” Ji Shaoyue said.
Since it concerns Jun Xuan, it's only natural that he would check on Shen Yunxi and inquire about her.
Junxuan's expression was inscrutable. He was not unaware that Shen Yunxi had undergone a great change, and he also understood that her change began on the day she drowned in Yanshantang.
At that time, Shen Yunxi made a lot of small moves. She found out that he didn't like being alone when he was soaking in the hot spring, so she secretly slipped over. She obviously had some ulterior motives, which was simply to let people see her alone with him and to enter his harem.
Knowing the reason, he didn't react at all and continued to rest in the hot spring with his eyes closed.
Just as Shen Yunxi was about to get close, he casually flicked a small pebble from the hot spring, which hit her ankle and forced her to fall into the water.
Shen Yunxi was terrified after falling into the water and struggled in the hot spring. The Supreme Hot Spring was dug deeper at his request, which is why she almost lost her life.
At that time, he only wanted to teach this arrogant girl a lesson and had no intention of killing her. However, he never expected that after she came out of the water, a tremendous change would occur.
"Jinyu? Jinyu? What's wrong?" Ji Shaoyue saw Junxuan lost in thought and quickly waved his hand in front of his eyes. "Come and see, it's so lively over there. Shen Leyi has been rescued."
Junxuan pulled himself out of his turbulent thoughts and focused his gaze on where Shen Yunxi was.
Sure enough, Shen Leyi had already been rescued by a man, who didn't look too bad.
This scene caught Junxuan's eye, and he frowned slightly, secretly instructing Dongnan to do something.
Shen Yunxi felt that the man looked familiar from the moment she first saw him, as if she had seen him before, but she couldn't remember him for a while. Now that he had rescued Shen Leyi from the water, she finally remembered who he was.
"Thank you for saving my sister, young master. May I ask your name?" Shen Yunxi immediately walked to Shen Leyi's side and spoke to the man.
Even though I know who this person is, I still have to pretend, otherwise it would be difficult to explain that I know him.
Shen Leyi had already fainted. She was being held by Shen Yunxi. To outsiders, Shen Yunxi, the younger sister, didn't seem to care at all about getting wet. She was very worried about her older sister.
In the summer, people wear very light clothing, and Shen Yunxi's shoulders were quickly soaked by Shen Leyi's body.
If you don't leave soon, other parts of your body might get soaked too.
However, Zhizhi and Cai'er, who were already standing nearby, immediately went to Shen Yunxi's side upon seeing this and helped her support Shen Leyi, so that Shen Yunxi's clothes wouldn't get so wet.
Before long, Zhizhi and Cai'er somehow produced two sunshade cloaks, which they quickly draped over Shen Yunxi and Shen Leyi.
Shen Yunxi was a little puzzled. Could it be that Zhizhi and Cai'er also knew something?
Otherwise, how could they have brought the cloak over so quickly?
The man seemed oblivious to all this. He was dripping wet, and after getting out of the water, he smiled slightly upon hearing Shen Yunxi's words.
“My name is He Zheng. Miss, please don’t mind. It was just a small favor. I couldn’t just stand by and watch this young lady die. I grew up by the river and know how to swim. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This is a good deed,” He Zheng said with a smile.
Shen Yunxi curtsied slightly and smiled, "Thank you, Young Master He. If it weren't for your help today, my sister would probably be in grave danger."
He Zheng was about to say something when Lin Chen hurriedly walked over, looking at Shen Yunxi with unease in his eyes.
"Yunxi, I just heard you almost fell into the water, are you alright?" Lin Chen asked.
Although he knew in his heart that this was all Shen Yunxi's own plan, and that nothing seemed wrong at the moment, he still couldn't help but ask, worried that something might have happened to Shen Yunxi.
Shen Yunxi gently shook her head, "I'm fine, Brother Lin, don't worry. It's just that it was Fourth Sister who fell into the water, and I still feel a little bad. But I'm also grateful to this Young Master He Zheng, otherwise I would also be to blame today. Who told me to be right next to her at the time? Sigh!"
"Shen Yunxi, stop pretending! It was definitely you who did this!"
