Shen Qingwu didn't expect that Chu Zhiyou would dare to attack him in broad daylight in front of everyone. The hand holding the fishing rod tightened slightly, and then he did what she wanted, and fell into the river with a splash.
Wu Chunxiang was a landlubber. After falling into the water, she didn't even have time to struggle before she was knocked over by the water.
After Shen Qingwu went into the water, he grabbed Wu Chunxiang, who had no strength to struggle in the water, by sinking, and pushed her to the surface to breathe.
When the people who were paying attention to the situation here saw Shen Qingwu fall into the water, they couldn't help but gasp and stood up, looking at Chu Zhiyou who was smiling triumphantly on the shore.
"Chu Zhiyou, are you crazy?! You are killing someone!" Guo Chuan ran over angrily. He really didn't expect that Chu Zhiyou would actually dare to do it.
Before he could finish his words, he was about to jump down to save the person, but Chu Zhiyou grabbed his sleeve.
"Isn't Shen Qingwu good at fortune-telling? Didn't she expect that she would suffer this disaster today?" Chu Zhiyou sneered indifferently, looking down at the master and servant whose bodies were surging with the flow of the river.
"Isn't Shen Qingwu amazing? Maybe she can swim to shore by herself. Why are you in such a hurry? Guo Chuan, you don't like Shen Qingwu, do you? Don't forget, she's the future Crown Princess!" Chu Zhiyou's features were all ferocious. "Guo Chuan, you don't have any improper thoughts about her, do you?"
Chu Zhiyou's unrestrained words made the other young men who came forward to save people stop.
When rescuing someone underwater, physical contact is inevitable.
They dare not covet the prince's woman.
For ordinary women, they could just marry them home, but for the Crown Princess, in order to dispel the Crown Prince's doubts, they might even have to sacrifice their lives.
"Stop looking at me with those dirty eyes!" Guo Chuan's expression flashed with an unnatural look, and then he retorted with his eyes wide open, but he didn't dare to go down to save people.
"Chu Zhiyou, you murdered the Crown Princess. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will punish you?" Xiao Qingyi, who was not good at drinking, understood Chu Zhiyou's plan and asked in a stern voice.
"You are just a merchant's daughter, and you dare to talk to me like this?" Chu Zhiyou glanced at Xiao Qingyi with disdain.
Xiao Qingyi took a deep breath and turned around to call out to Zhou Silin who was still painting, "Zhou Silin, someone is going to die on your farm. Who will dare to come and play with you in the future?"
Zhou Silin was painting among the flowers. When she heard Xiao Qingyi's voice, she asked the people next to her in confusion, "Why are they all going to the river? Is Qingqing calling me? What is she saying?"
"I don't know, maybe Shen Qingwu caught a fish with a straight hook." Someone said.
"Qingwu is quite amazing. I'll go over and take a look." Zhou Silin put down his paintbrush.
"Linlin!" Liu Ruyan quickly dropped her paintbrush and raised her hand to stop him. "Linlin, you haven't finished painting yet. If you leave now, you'll lose. She's already caught the fish. It's too late to check now. It's better to finish painting first and then go."
Zhou Silin glanced at the group of people with their backs to her, feeling a little itchy. However, the competition with Liu Ruyan and the others was also related to her own face. She reluctantly looked away and said, "Okay, let's draw first."
On the river bank.
"You can't go!" Xiao Qingyi was the first to notice that Song Siwei, who had been silent all the time, was about to go into the water, and she grabbed him before he could move.
"Let go!" Song Siwei frowned and warned in a low voice.
"Can you swim?" Xiao Qingyi grabbed his hand tightly.
"So what if they don't? Are we just going to watch them die like this?" Song Siwei looked at the two people who were no longer moving in the water, his eyes filled with worry.
"You're not saving people, you're being buried with them!" Xiao Qingyi scolded in a low voice, "If you fail to save them and sacrifice your own life, it will be called suicide for love! Even if you both die, your reputations will be ruined!"
Song Siwei frowned, "Is it that serious?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Qingyi asked back, "Don't be too anxious. I think Qingwu has other plans. I've already sent someone to call Wang Shuying. I heard she's good at swimming. Let's wait and see. Didn't you see that Guo Chuan hasn't moved?"
"But what if? Are all these twists and turns of mine more important than two lives?" Song Siwei lowered his voice, looking very annoyed.
"But this has never been a matter of two lives." Xiao Qingyi looked at the river which suddenly became more turbulent.
Chu Zhiyou must have been used and instigated by someone today. I wonder how many eyes are watching him behind his back.
"The Queen and the Prince Consort have thrown away their pride and are still willing to let you marry into their family. Is it really just because they like Wang Shuying?" Xiao Qingyi's face was gloomy. "If you fall into the water, all the Queen's plans will be in vain."
Song Siwei looked puzzled. What was his mother's plan?
"Calm down..."
Xiao Qingyi said softly, to comfort Song Siwei and herself.
Shen Qingwu is such a powerful person, nothing will happen to him.
She must be right. Shen Qingwu fell into the water on purpose.
…
Chu Guannan was watching the show among a group of children from aristocratic families. Guo Chuan walked up to him angrily.
"Third brother, Chu Zhiyou is crazy!" Guo Chuan was very angry, "Let Xie Enyu go and rescue people quickly, are we going to watch Miss Shen die?"
"Do you care about her a lot?" Chu Guannan asked Guo Chuan with a cold look.
Guo Chuan was so angry that he choked up and said quickly, "It's because General Shen was stationed at the border to defend the country that we have the good life we have now, and we can spend the summer here. If we watch General Shen's daughter being killed like this, wouldn't that be too inhumane?"
He spoke loudly, deliberately speaking to the indifferent people around him.
"Besides, Miss Chen is the future Crown Princess. If we save her, we are also helping His Majesty to relieve his worries." Guo Chuan added, "I am not like some people who are so heartless. Miss Chen obviously saved him, but now he is ungrateful and wants to harm her!" Guo Chuan's voice became more and more outspoken, and his dissatisfaction with Chu Zhiyou grew stronger.
One person from the small team we used to work together with is gone, and now Chu Zhiyou is doing this again.
Isn't it good for us to just eat, drink and spend our days together? Why do we have to hurt others?
"Chuanzi's words make a lot of sense." Chu Guannan nodded and stepped forward.
Everyone made way, secretly wondering in their hearts, could it be that the King of Yan wanted to go and rescue people himself?
But to be honest, if she goes down to rescue people, she might be the only one who can escape unscathed.
"Third brother, you'd better not interfere in today's affairs. You saw how Shen Qingwu humiliated me before." Chu Zhiyou looked at Chu Guannan, who always played against the rules, with caution, fearing that he would ruin his plans.
"Do you want to kill her to vent your anger, or do you just want to tease her to vent your anger?" Chu Guannan asked lazily, raising his hand and pointing at the two people who were floating a distance away with the current. "If you don't rescue them, they might die."
"Have you ever thought that if you kill her, you will have to pay with your life, but if she comes ashore alive, she will make you live a life worse than death?" Chu Guannan suspected that Chu Zhiyou was mentally ill.
Who gave him the courage to kill someone in front of so many people?
"She is just a woman who is not favored by the prince. Would Your Majesty let me pay with my life for her?" Chu Zhiyou asked with his neck stiff.
He is the most beloved son of the imperial clan's chief minister, and the emperor has to give his father some face, even though he is just Shen Qingwu.
