Chapter 405 Falling into the Water

Lin Qingxue saw that Lin Zhu had been following Lin Qinglan, which attracted a lot of people's attention. And girls, it is inevitable that they would discuss some issues about clothing materials and jewelry when they get together.

People who don't know Lin Zhu are very disapproving of her, thinking that even if a country girl is adopted as a granddaughter by the general's mansion, she is just a nouveau riche and it's no big deal.

But after the introduction, I realized that Lin Zhu's clothes, which didn't look gorgeous, actually came from the palace. Empress Lan Fei actually rewarded Lin Zhu with a lot of seasonal materials and jewelry every season. This is something few people do.

What an honor to receive.

Although everyone has received the rewards set by the palace on weekdays, unlike Lin Zhu, in addition to the rewards set by the general's palace, there are other additional rewards. For a time, everyone turned their envious eyes to

Lin Zhu.

Therefore, Lin Zhu, who was in the limelight, naturally made Lin Qingxue, who regarded her as a love rival, feel unhappy. But asking her to question Lin Zhu in front of everyone would only make people think that she is petty and does not want to see others well. It would be detrimental to her own reputation.

Damage. So I can only sulk secretly.

Lin Qingxue became less interested in everyone's topics. While looking around, she suddenly spotted the figure of her cousin Zhao Yu. Although he was a little far away, Lin Qingxue still recognized his appearance and found that he was approaching her.

This group of people kept looking in the direction.

Lin Qingxue had never been very fond of this second cousin, mainly because she couldn't stand Zhao Yu's conduct.

Seeing him like this, Lin Qingxue was deeply afraid that he would be impulsive and come here to offend the ladies of the family. She was about to send someone to warn him. However, she found that a capable maid next to her mother actually ran to Zhao Yu and whispered a few words to him.

The sentence left.

Zhao Yu seemed to be very excited. He looked in the direction of the crowd from time to time. But Lin Qingxue felt that Zhao Yu was not looking at him. His goal should be something else.

This aroused Lin Qingxue's curiosity. So, she asked the maid next to her to go find the maid next to Zhao to inquire about the situation.

After a while, the news she got made Lin Qingxue excited. It turned out that her grandfather had an idea for her. Lin Qingxue thought happily, wouldn't this remove an obstacle for her to marry Mu Qiyue? And marry

It is estimated that Lin Zhu's life will not be easy for that playboy second cousin.

This situation makes Lin Qingxue, who has a somewhat gloomy mentality, even more happy. It can harm others and benefit oneself, and she is eager to have a foot in it. However, Lin Qingxue does not want people to know that she is also involved.

In order not to damage her own image, she just paid attention to the development of things secretly and added fuel to the flames when necessary.

Besides, after Mu Qiyue knew that Zhao Yu wanted to use some unscrupulous tactics, he not only paid attention to his movements. He also looked for an opportunity to have someone notify Lin Zhu.

Although Lin Zhu had been mentally prepared, he was really angry when he heard that some people had not given up yet. He secretly decided to cooperate with Mu Qiyue to teach some unforgettable people an unforgettable lesson.

In order to satisfy the guests who came to celebrate her birthday, Lin Qinglan took a group of ladies to wander around the garden. However, she was afraid that everyone was a little tired or had different preferences, so after a while, she let everyone move around as they pleased.

Even so, Lin Qinglan was surrounded by some ladies who wanted to make friends with her and talk about their favorite topics together.

Lin Zhu was a little tired, so he found a pavilion to sit down and rest. The Lin Mansion was also very considerate. There were also maids from the Lin Mansion waiting in the pavilion, ready to add some tea or snacks.

The garden of Lin's Mansion is very large. At first, it may seem that there are a lot of people with more than a dozen ladies together. However, after they dispersed, it feels empty. Lin Zhu is sitting in the pavilion. He doesn't even have a cup of tea.

A person walks in front of him.

"Miss Zhu, Second Miss, please go to the front." Lin Zhu was bored when suddenly a maid in azure clothes appeared, seemingly following Lin Qinglan's order to come and invite her.

Lin Zhu glanced at the maid's appearance and asked casually, "Where is the second lady now?" Before Lin Zhu left, Lin Qinglan was still by the pond.

"The second young lady and several young ladies are still in the pavilion next to the Jinchi." the maid replied.

After hearing this, Lin Zhu nodded, stood up and followed the maid, leading Minglu and Mu Jingwen in the direction of Lin Qinglan and others.

The Jinchi mentioned by the maid was very big, and Lin Zhu walked a little far. In order to get back to Lin Qinglan quickly, the maid took Lin Zhu back along the stone road next to the Jinchi.

"Miss Zhu, not far ahead is the pavilion where the second lady and others are resting." The maid said, pointing to the left. But while speaking, she also stopped and was very close to Lin Zhu.

Seeing her stop, Lin Zhu naturally stopped. Looking in the direction of her finger, he saw Lin Qinglan's figure and thought to himself, there seemed to be nothing unusual about this maid.

Because it was spring, and it had just rained two days before the birthday party, the soil on the bank of the pond was wet. If you don't know, it will definitely be a little slippery when you pick it.

Therefore, since walking on the stone road beside the pond, Lin Zhu carefully stayed away from the shore. However, the maid who was leading the way stopped on the right side of Lin Zhu. She seemed to be a little close to Lin Zhu, which made Lin Zhu

Bamboo had no choice but to approach some ponds on the left.

At this time, Mu Jingwen had subconsciously stood on Lin Zhu's left side.

Just when Lin Zhu was about to move on, the maid suddenly pointed at the fish swimming in the pond and said, "Miss Zhu, the fish in the brocade pond in the mansion were all found by the old man at a great price.

It’s called Koi, so this place is called the Koi Pond. I heard that even the princes and nobles rarely have so many precious Koi.”

Her movements seemed to be to let Lin Zhu see the fish in the water more clearly. She pointed one hand into the water, and with the other hand she wanted to push Lin Zhu towards the water.

"Thank you sister for your explanation, but I'm afraid that the second lady will be impatient, so let my young lady meet the second lady first." Minglu grabbed the maid's arm and pushed Lin Zhu, her face full of gratitude.

and eagerness.

The maid was absent-minded for a moment. Although she regained her composure immediately, she was still discovered by Lin Zhu and others. The three of them exchanged glances, and following Ming Lu's words, they distanced themselves from the maid and looked towards her.

Walk to where Lin Qinglan is.

The maid led Lin Zhu and the three of them forward as usual, not in a hurry or slow. Lin Zhu was walking slowly behind her, but he admired her calmness in his heart. However, her movements were even more complicated.

Be careful.

In fact, this maid was very anxious. She received orders from the third lady, Zhao, to create some trouble for Lin Zhu so that the young master could be a hero and save the beauty. However, she just discovered that the three masters and servants of Lin Zhu were very

He was very alert, and the good opportunity just now was missed by the little maid.

Although she returned in vain, Zhao would not do anything to her. But this maid was greedy for the reward promised by Zhao, so she became jealous and began to care about her.

She deliberately slowed down her pace, waiting for an opportunity to close the distance with Lin Zhu, and from time to time she would glance at Lin Zhu's movements with the corner of her eyes.

When she reached a corner, the maid suddenly seemed to have stumbled. She staggered and took a few steps forward. She almost fell.

"Are you okay?" Lin Zhu asked kindly when he saw that she didn't turn towards him intentionally.

The maid stood still with a shy expression on her face. When she heard Lin Zhu's question, she said she was fine and walked towards Lin Zhu's direction.

Before she even took two steps, her left foot tripped in front of her right foot. This situation would obviously have a consequence. The maid would definitely fall.

With a sound of "Ah.", the maid not only fell down, but also stretched out her hands in the direction of Lin Zhu.

If Lin Zhu stood still, he would definitely be touched by her. If she were stronger, Lin Zhu would probably fall into the pool next to her.

"Ouch."

"thump"

"Come here, help, someone fell into the water."

Three voices sounded almost simultaneously.

"Plop!" Just when the cry for help had just ended, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side and jumped into the pond without any pause.

There were many people around who were also attracted by the cry for help just now.

"Where is it? Who fell into the water?" Someone asked curiously from time to time.

Lin Qinglan was also attracted. The two people in the water could not clearly see their appearance, but they could be identified as a man and a woman. Lin Qinglan immediately ordered people to prepare some hot water, ginger soup, quilts, etc., to prepare for people to go ashore.

Deal with it immediately.

"What's going on?" Lin Qinglan looked at the people around her and asked.

"Sister Qinglan," Lin Zhu walked up to Lin Qinglan, with apologetic and frightened expressions on his face. "Just now, a maid said that Sister Qinglan was looking for me, so she brought me here. Who would have thought that she was not careful just now?

I tripped and fell into the water." Lin Zhu said, with a cry in her voice, as if she was frightened. Lin Qinglan's hand was shaking slightly when she held it. "Fortunately, someone jumped into the water immediately.

Went to rescue her."

Although the person has not been rescued yet, and Lin Zhu just secretly noticed that neither of the two people in the water seemed to be very good at water. He secretly complained in his heart, do you still want to 'hero save the beauty' like this?

When Lin Qinglan saw Lin Zhu's appearance, her heart tightened. She looked at her carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with her, so she felt a little more at ease. What if it was Lin Zhu who fell into the water? Lin Qinglan didn't dare to think about it anymore.

.

"It's good that you're okay." Lin Qinglan hugged Lin Zhu's trembling body and comforted her softly.

"Quick, send two more people down." Seeing that the person who fell into the water and the rescuer seemed to have no sign of coming ashore, Lin Qinglan asked people to go down to rescue again. There were two more people, and people were coming from the shore constantly.

.Everyone worked hard to rescue the two people who fell into the water.

After Lin Qinglan saw the appearance of the maid and the person who jumped to save people first, her face became very unhappy.

However, she also knew that now was not the time to ask about the cause of the matter, and it was more important to save people. So, she ordered her servants to ask the doctor to come over. After placing the two people in a suitable room, she apologized to the onlookers and took her

Lin Zhu walked towards where his mother was.

When the matter reaches this point, she must explain it to her elders in the family. This matter is not something she can handle, so it is better to ask her elders for instructions. Besides, Lin Qinglan feels that the matter is not just about a maid falling into the water and a kind person rescuing her.

So simple.

The second lady was chatting with some important guests together with Mrs. Lin. When she heard the servant coming to report that someone had fallen into the pond, she naturally felt very unhappy. The old lady also had a look of displeasure on her face. She immediately ordered the servant to go and see

See what's going on?

Not long after, Lin Qinglan led Lin Zhu and walked over to where Mrs. Lin was. The two of them first met with the elders in the room. After being allowed to sit down, Lin Qinglan told what she had just seen by the pond.

Things come together one by one.

"Who is the person who jumped to save people?" Mrs. Lin heard that the person who jumped to save people was a man, and her face was very ugly.

"My granddaughter looks at me. It seems to be Mr. Zhao Yu from the Hui'an Marquis Mansion." When she said this, Lin Qinglan also glanced at Zhao's face and found that she also had an unhappy look on her face.

After hearing Lin Qinglan's words, everyone present had different expressions, and they didn't know what they were thinking. Those who had heard about Zhao Yu's reputation all had very ugly expressions. The second lady also felt that something was wrong.

Why would he appear in a garden where ladies are walking around? You must know that almost all male guests walk in the west courtyard.

Not only did the second lady think of this, but all the ladies here were not stupid. After thinking about it twice, they realized that the matter was not simple. What's more, angry looks appeared on their faces.

"Second Madam, please go find out what happened?" Mrs. Lin's face was a little confused. In the questioning eyes of all the ladies, she ordered the Second Madam to deal with the matter.

But she was glad in her heart. Fortunately, it was a maid who fell. However, she looked up at Lin Zhu, who was sitting next to Lin Qinglan, and a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes. In addition, considering the situation described by Lin Qinglan, if she thought about it carefully, if she fell

The one who went down was not the maid, so the most likely one was her.

However, Lin Zhu still looked frightened now. No matter how many questions he had in his mind, now was not a good time to ask.

Mrs. Lin also glared at Mrs. Zhao who was sitting beside her. If she didn't have such a bad relative in her natal family, why would she be causing trouble for herself in such a good day.

Mrs. Zhao was already feeling guilty, but when she saw that she couldn't let Lin Zhu fall into her scheme the second time, she secretly sighed at Lin Zhu's good luck, and at the same time she was angry at the stupid things her nephew had done.

He said in his heart that if he jumped into the water without seeing clearly who was falling and left such a big clue to others, he would succeed more than he could.

Sorry, it’s even late. The screen locking ability of Little Black Room is too powerful, and it can’t be released without the number of words. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
