Chapter 154 Su Qingwan Falls into the Water
Shang Yan smiled and said, "Divine Doctor Ke, let's go out and discuss in detail."
They leave.
Shangqi looked at himself in the bronze mirror and sighed quietly, "That divine doctor Ke is going to be tricked by my father until he has nothing left."
Su Rutang smiled and said:
"Don't worry. Doctor Ke will make the decision."
When Su Rutang sat on the carriage on the way back, her heart was still soft. She used to think about going to hell with the Zhou family, but now she wanted to deal with these things as soon as possible and leave the Zhou family.
She wanted to set up a female household and bring Taohua and Shangqi to live with her.
From now on... be a good mother.
Chunxi looked at Su Rutang's heartfelt smile and couldn't help but say, "Our Miss Rutang's smile is back."
"I haven't laughed like this since I entered the Zhou Mansion."
After Xia An and Chun Xi finished talking, they realized that they were wrong.
"sorry."
Su Rutang turned around.
"You are not wrong. Everything that happened before will soon be over."
"Chunxi, it's time for you guys to get married."
"No. I want to be with you forever." Chunxi didn't want to get married at all. If she got married, who would be such a caring and considerate lady to take care of her?
"Silly girl. If you don't get married, you will be a real old maid. Even if you get married, you can still do things by my side." Su Rutang lifted the curtain, "I hope you can have your own life."
"The maidservants around me are more respectable than the young ladies from small families. If we talk about marriage, the threshold will be trampled down by others."
Chunxi and Xia An blushed.
She covered her face and shook her head, "I won't marry."
The carriage was driving on the streets of the capital.
Su Rutang heard people outside talking about a poetry competition being held by the lake today, and that there would also be paper-cutting and lantern riddle guessing activities.
Chunxi was in a good mood.
"Shall we go over and take a look?"
"The Zhou family just held a funeral. We can't go out and play at this time. It will cause people to gossip." Su Rutang disagreed.
"But the Second Master has not come back. The Emperor has also tacitly agreed that everything in the Zhou Mansion should be kept simple, and even the Third Master does not have to come back to observe mourning. I have seen how haggard Grandma has become these days."
Su Rutang said nothing.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
The man on horseback shouted a few times and kept hitting passers-by with the whip in his hand.
The pedestrians were unable to dodge and fell to the ground screaming.
"Hahaha... lowly people. Don't hinder me from getting the beauty."
The man on horseback rode away.
"Who is acting so arrogantly?" Xia An's chivalrous heart couldn't help but feel relieved.
Chunxi stopped him.
"Don't mess around."
The people who fell to the ground outside cried out, "Who is this? He looks unfamiliar."
Almost all the dandies in the capital can be named.
There is no such person.
"It seems that the son of the governor of Jinyang Prefecture is called Lu Yifu."
Su Rutang's heart was uncontrollably nervous, "Chunxi. Do you think Qingwan will go?"
"I don't know. But I just saw the carriage from the Lin Mansion passing by. Maybe Miss Lin Shuang'er went there."
"Let's go and take a look."
Su Rutang ordered Hu Zitou to drive over there.
When we got close, the carriage could no longer move forward.
Crowds of people.
Su Rutang got off the carriage and put on the veil.
Chunxi and Xia An followed her closely.
The three of them moved through the crowd.
now.
Su Qingwan, Lin Shuang'er, Gan Yun and several other girls stood in the crowd watching others compete in poetry with great interest.
Jian Shuchi and a few friends were upstairs.
He caught a glimpse of Su Qingwan.
His eyes never moved away.
"Master Jian. Have a drink."
"Go away."
"Brother Jian, we are here to have fun. Why do you have to spoil our fun? These are all the famous girls in the building." Master Lin reached out and poured him a glass of wine. "Come on, have a drink with Miss Mudan."
Jian Shuchi frowned.
Pushed Master Lin away.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Done.
Go straight downstairs.
"Mr. Lin, why doesn't Mr. Jian give you face?" Miss Peony clung to Mr. Lin.
"Humph. His grandfather is of high status, so he can naturally not give me face." Master Lin picked up the wine glass and drank it all. "If you can enter the Jian Mansion as a concubine, your family will be prosperous in this life."
"He doesn't even look at me."
"Hahaha... Mudan, show us what you can do." Master Lin looked outside and saw Lin Shuang'er and a few others.
Behind them was Lu Yifu.
When Jian Shuchi got downstairs, his eyes softened and he couldn't help but smile in Su Qingwan's direction.
Su Qingwan doesn't like so many people.
"Gan Yun, let's go."
"Shuang'er said she wants to play for a while longer." Gan Yun pulled Su Qingwan's hand, "Let's go to the river to release lanterns. I heard you can make a wish there."
Su Qingwan looked at the river and saw that there were not many people around.
Lin Shuang'er hurried over.
"We haven't met for a long time, and I'm getting engaged. We may not see each other for several years. My mother said that if I get married, I have to leave the capital."
Su Qingwan was shocked.
"where are you going?"
"He said he was going to Jiangnan. He was the Imperial Salt Inspector. My parents saw him as the emperor's confidant." Lin Shuang'er was worried, "You guys accompany me to light lanterns and make a wish. I hope my husband is an upright gentleman."
"Have you seen it?" Su Qingwan asked hesitantly.
"No."
Su Qingwan and Gan Yun looked at each other. Women talking about marriage are basically like blind people.
They have never seen each other.
There are very few people like Su Qingwan and Jian Shuchi who have had a close relationship since childhood. When they reach a certain age, they will intentionally avoid each other.
The three friends first went to buy lotus lanterns, and then walked towards the river holding their own lotus lanterns.
The maids followed behind.
Jian Shuchi followed involuntarily, knowing that there was almost no possibility between the two of them, but he still wanted to go over, even if it was just to take one more look.
Not far away, two people also moved.
Jian Shuchi was shocked.
The two men's eyes fell on Su Qingwan and the other two, as if they were prey.
Three people carried lotus lanterns to the river.
The maid stopped Su Qingwan and said, "Miss, I will go and light the lotus lantern for you. It will have the same effect if you stand on it and make a wish."
Su Qingwan thought about it and said, "Okay. Go ahead."
The voice just fell.
Then I heard a scream not far away, "Ah..."
"Killed."
The sudden screams and shouts made the people around agitated, and everyone ran around like headless flies.
Su Qingwan didn't expect things to suddenly become chaotic.
A strong force from behind pushed her forward, and the maid was pushed in the opposite direction.
Su Rutang happened to see this scene.
"Qingwan."
People around were screaming and running around.
Someone is running here.
There were panicked screams in my ears.
Su Rutang ordered Xia An: "Xia An, go and protect Qing Wan."
"Yes."
Xia An quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed through.
Chunxi and Su Rutang followed behind.
Someone wanted to hug Su Qingwan's waist, so Su Qingwan hurriedly moved to the other side and was pushed hard into the river.
"Pfft."
The sound of falling water was heard.
Several people were pushed into the water together.
Jian Shuchi jumped down without saying a word, and another person jumped down before Jian Shuchi.
Xia An jumped down as well.
There was no light on the lake.
Su Qingwan couldn't swim. She flapped her wings a few times but felt herself starting to sink.
A hand reached over.
That hand frightened Su Qingwan, more frightening than the river water that could kill people. The inexplicable fear in her heart made her reach out and slap the man repeatedly.
"Baby, I'm coming."
The hand passed through Su Qingwan's waist.
"Go away."
Su Qingwan continued to struggle.
Jian Shuchi swam over and pulled Lu Yifu into the water. "Qingwan, hold on to my neck. Don't be afraid, I will rescue you."
Su Qingwan heard Jian Shuchi's voice.
I immediately burst into tears out of grievance.
She hurriedly grabbed Jian Shuchi's clothes and tried to move herself up a little.
Lu Yifu and Jian Shuchi started fighting in the water.
Ups and downs.
People on the shore couldn't see clearly what was happening in the water.
Su Qingwan was afraid that Jian Shuchi was no match for her, so she pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed Lu Yifu with it.
Lu Yifu screamed:
"precious……"
Jian Shuchi pushed her into the water.
Xia An also came over.
"Miss Qingwan, I'll take you upstairs first." Xia An pulled Su Qingwan.
With Xia An's help.
Jian Shuchi felt relieved and beat Lu Yifu up.
Someone else is coming.
Xia An secretly thought that it was not good, "Sir, that man has an accomplice."
"Take Qingwan upstairs first." Jian Shuchi was furious. This man was clearly coming for her.
Xia An took Su Qingwan and swam towards the shore, but someone tried to intercept them halfway.
Xia An used the force to push forward.
One hand was waving a hairpin.
The man was stabbed in the shoulder and was stunned for a moment. Xia An brought Su Qingwan to the shore.
Su Rutang and Chunxi pulled them both ashore.
Lin Shuang'er shouted in panic:
"Su Qing..."
Before she could say the third word, Su Rutang stood up and hit her on the back of her neck with a knife, knocking Lin Shuang'er unconscious.
