Qin Jiaoyue stood on the edge of the lotus pond, with a shocked expression on her face.
Axiu screamed next to her ears: "Second young lady, why did you push the eldest lady into the lotus pond?"
Qin Jiaoyue shook her head in horror: "No, it's not me, I didn't!"
Axiu said again: "Come quickly, come and save people!"
The lotus pond is actually not very deep, and can barely reach the chest of a nine-year-old child.
But for children who don't know how to swim, even knee-deep water can drown someone.
However, Qin Jiaoxi had gained some strength in practicing these days, and she had held her breath in advance, so she didn't panic. She groped in the water a few times and finally stepped on the bottom.
Seeing that she could stand up from the water, Axiu immediately shouted louder: "Ah - Miss!"
Qin Jiaoxi suddenly realized that he couldn't get up like this, so he bent his legs and sank down some more.
Axiu: "..."
Suddenly I couldn't scream anymore, really.
When Grandma Li helped the old lady to the lotus pond, what she saw was Axiu holding Jun Lan with one hand and a long bamboo pole that came from nowhere with the other hand, frantically pulling Qin Jiaoxi.
Jun Lan was making clothes in the yard, but Jing Yan suddenly told her that something had happened to the lady.
She threw down her clothes and followed Jing Yan here, and happened to see Qin Jiaoxi falling into the water.
He wanted to dive into the water to save others, but was stopped by Axiu.
The veil on Qin Jiaoxi's face has disappeared. Her wet little face is both pitiful and terrifying. She is holding on to the bamboo pole in panic and helplessness.
Jun Lan could only cry heartbrokenly: "Second Miss, why did you bump into my young lady on purpose? She just wore a new dress given by the Queen Mother today. Are you so disdainful of her?"
"Or is it that the lady yesterday was unwilling to give some of the cloud brocade satin given by the Queen Mother to the second lady, so you have to hold a grudge like this!"
The old lady suddenly became so angry that she said: "Come on, come on, save people first!"
Seeing the old lady appear, Qin Jiaoyue quickly explained: "Grandma, I didn't, I didn't hit her!"
Originally she wanted to bump into him, but as soon as she got close to Qin Jiaoxi and felt that her clothes hadn't even touched her, Qin Jiaoxi suddenly raised her hands and turned over from the bridge and fell into the lotus pond.
"She must have slipped and fallen in. I didn't touch her at all!"
Qin Jiaoyue hurriedly pulled the maid next to her: "Tell me quickly, did you see me bumping into her? Ah?"
The maids all shook their heads: "No, miss, you haven't met the eldest miss yet. She fell down by herself!"
Several young men who wanted to please Qin Jiaoyue also followed and said: "Yes, yes, the second young lady did not meet the eldest lady at all, she accidentally fell into the water by herself!"
Several servants from the mansion came over, but they gathered around the lotus pond to watch the excitement, and no one was willing to go into the water to save the person.
In the end, the rough lady couldn't bear it anymore, so she jumped into the water, and moved over step by step to pick up Qin Jiaoxi.
"A sneeze! A sneeze!"
Qin Jiaoxi sneezed several times with enthusiasm.
Although it is early summer, the water in the lotus pond is still cold to the bones.
Qin Jiaoxi trembled, rolled up into a ball and nestled in the arms of the rough lady.
When he got to the shore, he said tremblingly: "Grandma, Jiaoxi really slipped into the lotus pond accidentally by himself, and it has nothing to do with Yue'er!"
The sincerity on his face made Qin Jiaoyue breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before he could take this breath, Qin Jiaoxi coughed again and said, "But sister, why did you throw the glazed hairpin that the Queen gave you to the ground and step on it with your feet?"
