"You don't think so?" Chu Guannan's face turned cold.
Chu Zhiyou was stunned, and fear appeared in his eyes as he realized it belatedly.
Then I heard Chu Guannan continue:
"She is His Majesty's most favored Grand Historian, and the Crown Prince also has a special liking for her. Rather than watch you suffer a fate worse than death, for the sake of our long-standing brotherhood, I will give you a quick death today!"
Before Chu Guannan could finish his words, he kicked Chu Zhiyou in the heart.
Chu Zhiyou was still thinking about whether it would happen or not, when his body was caught off guard and kicked out by a strong force, falling into the rushing water.
Everyone was shocked and quickly raised their hands to cover their mouths to prevent their exclamations from disturbing Chu Guannan.
Xiao Qingyi looked at Chu Guannan's back, and the suspicion in her heart became more and more obvious. Do Chu Guannan and Shen Qingwu know each other?
Chu Guannan's handling of this matter seemed no different from his previous biased behavior, but she still felt something was different.
"Serves you right!" Only Song Siwei said with relief, "Third cousin did the right thing!"
Everyone was looking at the person who plunged into the water and struggled hard with mixed feelings, and then they saw a shadow dive into the water, splashing a large amount of water, and knocking Chu Zhiyou, who had just floated to the surface, down again.
Chu Zhiyou waved desperately at the man, but the man didn't even look at him. He moved swiftly and agilely towards Shen Qingwu and his servant, picked up one person in each hand, and swam towards the shore.
"It's Wang Shuying." Someone with sharp eyes saw the person who rescued people.
"My cousin is so amazing." Song Siwei looked at the person who was swimming easily while carrying two people in the water with admiration.
No one was paying attention to Chu Zhiyou struggling in the water anymore, as all eyes were drawn to the heroic Wang Shuying.
"Third brother, the person has sunk." Xie Enyu has been paying attention to Chu Zhiyou and gently reminded Chu Guannan.
When Chu Guannan kicked the person down, no one present dared to go down to save him even if they could swim, not to mention that most of them couldn't.
Chu Zhiyou's two followers were outside waiting for their master like many other servants, and had no idea what was going on here.
Chu Guannan looked at Shen Qingwu who was pulled ashore by Xiao Qingyi. She looked embarrassed, but she was conscious.
Wu Chunxiang was vomiting water and looked a little unconscious. She kept calling "Miss", but nothing serious happened.
"Wait a little longer. Miss Shen has been soaking in the water for a long time and nothing is wrong. Chu Zhiyou, a grown man, will naturally be fine too." He said in a cold tone.
"That's right, it's impossible that Chu Zhiyou is not even as good as two little girls?" Guo Chuan snorted.
"My cousin is right. Chu Zhiyou went too far today and deserves a lesson. We are all doing this for his own good, otherwise, a disaster will happen one day!" Song Siwei also stood up. Seeing that Shen Qingwu was fine, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qingwu, are you okay?" Xiao Qingyi pulled Shen Qingwu up worriedly and used her slender back to protect the soaked man.
"It's okay." Shen Qingwu patted Xiao Qingyi's arm soothingly, then leaned weakly in her arms and fainted.
"Qingwu, Qingwu--" Xiao Qingyi shouted.
"Miss." Wu Chunxiang also called out weakly.
"Song Siwei, take off your outer robe!" Wang Shuying also held Wu Chunxiang in her arms, and then shouted at Song Siwei.
"Hey, here I come—" Song Siwei quickly took off his clothes. Before he could go forward, Wang Shuying's maid grabbed it and said, "Sir, don't go over there."
"Mine, and mine." Guo Chuan also quickly took off his own and handed it over.
Wang Shuying's maid didn't hesitate and accepted them all.
When Zhou Silin, who had finally finished painting, came over a step late, the matter was almost over. Wang Shuying was walking back with the unconscious Shen Qingwu on her back.
"What's going on?" Zhou Silin was dumbfounded. Why was there someone in the water?
She shouted anxiously, "Hurry up and pull the person out."
"Linlin." Zhou Siyou, who had remained silent the entire time, quickly stepped forward and held down his silly sister. "It was the prince who kicked the man down."
Zhou Silin, “…”
"Chu Zhiyou pushed Shen Qingwu and his servant into the water--" Zhou Siyou hurriedly explained what had just happened.
Zhou Silin took a deep breath, her teeth chattering. "Drink him, soak him to death, how can someone be so mean?!"
She spat at Chu Zhiyou, who was struggling weakly in the water and could only blow bubbles. When she was about to chase Shen Qingwu, she turned back to look at Liu Ruyan who came with her.
He was immediately furious and rushed over without hesitation and slapped Liu Ruyan in the face in front of everyone.
"Zhou Silin!" Liu Ruyan covered her face and screamed, "Are you sick?"
"Do you know something? You deliberately stopped me from coming over!" Zhou Silin ruthlessly pointed out, "Among us women, only Yingying and I can swim. You didn't let me come over. Are you trying to kill Qingwu?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How would I know what happened here? It was obviously you who insisted on competing with me for victory or defeat!" A trace of guilt flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes, but she quickly straightened her neck and spoke loudly.
"Liu Ruyan, don't let me find evidence, otherwise I will tear your face apart!" Zhou Silin swung her hand fiercely and turned to chase Shen Qingwu.
…
"Chu Zhiyou must have been instigated." Wang Shuying said with certainty.
In Shen Qingwu's room, she washed and changed her clothes.
The weakest one was Wu Chunxiang. She was lying on a small couch with several silver needles stuck in her naked back.
Shen Qingwu put away the needle and said calmly, "He really wants me to die, and he's even willing to pay for my life with his own."
"Isn't he fearless?" Xiao Qingyi couldn't help but ask, "When the prince was discussing the matter with him later, I saw that he seemed to be afraid."
"What happened today is definitely related to Liu Ruyan. She deliberately dragged me along." Zhou Silin still gritted her teeth in hatred.
"There's such a big commotion, but your mother hasn't shown up today." Wang Shuying turned to look at Zhou Silin.
Zhou Silin, “…”
"Perhaps Prince Yan is here, so it's not convenient for Madam Zhou to show up." Shen Qingwu handed her a ladder.
Xiao Qingyi glanced at her and nodded in agreement.
Wang Shuying also nodded, "Possibly."
Zhou Silin glanced at the three of them, suspecting that there was a secret between them that she didn't know about.
"Your Majesty has almost no bottom line in his indulgence of Prince Yan. Even if my mother came today, Prince Yan would still be the most powerful. I'm afraid that if he wants Chu Zhiyou dead, Your Majesty will immediately issue an order to satisfy him." Zhou Silin said.
Wang Shuying and Xiao Qingyi nodded. No one had ever doubted Chu Guannan's status.
"However, Chu Zhiyou is also the most favored son of the Imperial Clan, and he is equally favored without limit." Zhou Silin added, "The Emperor is the Emperor of the world, but the Imperial Clan is the patriarch of the imperial family, so the Emperor has to give him some face."
"So what do you think will happen to Chu Zhiyou this time?" Shen Qingwu asked the three people softly, "If Chu Guannan kills someone by soaking him today, will the emperor punish him?"
