Shen Qingyao, who was guarding outside, heard the noise and hurriedly took out the fire folder from his sleeve, lit it and threw it into the boat. When the boy next to Fang Cili saw any movement, he took action and grabbed the person.
Caihe had already called the boat to wait. When he saw Shen Qingyao being held down, he hurriedly ordered the boatman to sail.
The fire dumplings that Shen Qingyao threw into the boat quickly caught fire, and Fang Cili's anxious shouts came from inside: "Why don't you come in and put out the fire!"
The boy no longer cared about Shen Qingyao, let go of her and rushed inside.
"Sir, there's a fire over there."
Seeing the fireworks coming from Fang Cili's boat, Zhai Mo turned his head and reported back to Xie Chenxu.
Xie Chenxu then opened his eyes and looked out through the bead curtain. Fang Cili's boat was already showing flames.
Around the boat, several boats were quietly approaching.
"How courageous."
Xie Chenxu curled his thin lips and immediately ordered: "Go and bring the person back."
"Young Master, are you talking about Miss Six?"
Zhai Mo was unsure.
Xie Chenxu gave him a cold look, and he immediately jumped out of the boat.
Not long after, several boats suddenly surrounded Fang Cili's boat, completely surrounding his boat.
In the smoke-filled boat, someone suddenly grabbed Fang Cili's throat and asked him in a deep voice, "Where are the things?!"
Fang Cili felt a chill on his neck and secretly stuffed the items in his sleeves into Jiang Ning's waist. He raised his head and smiled and said, "I am relaxing here. I don't have anything, but I have a beauty."
At this time, Jiang Ning had fainted and fell to the ground, her cheeks were pink, and the clothes around her delicate white neck were slightly loose, and there was a vague fatal feeling.
The few people who slipped into the boat were stunned for a moment, and then only heard a painful scream. The man in black who had strangled his throat fell into a pool of blood.
Seeing that something was wrong, the remaining people hurriedly escaped from the boat and jumped into the lake to escape.
When the boat that picked up the lotus approached Fang Cili's boat, they only saw Shen Qingyao sitting on the bow of the boat in shock. Apart from Fang Cili and the boy beside him, Jiang Ning was not seen in the boat.
"Where's the girl?!"
Caihe asked Shen Qingyao.
"I have no idea..."
Shen Qingyao was frightened and shook her head.
"Let's go back quickly..."
She held Cai He's hand and said tremblingly.
Caihe's eyes were so anxious that he had to take Shen Qingyao back to the Duke Protector's Mansion first.
"In a moment, cousin, please go to the house first. If anyone asks, tell the truth that the boat where the girl and Mr. Fang were sitting on caught fire. The girl suffered some minor injuries and is being treated in the hospital outside. She will not be able to return until later. Mansion, do you remember?"
Caihe calmed down and told her.
"remember."
Shen Qingyao grabbed the tea cup in her hand and nodded.
After sending Shen Qingyao back, Caihe hurried back to the edge of Yue Lake and waited quietly.
In the private room of the Moon Viewing Tower.
When Jiang Ning woke up, she found herself soaking in the tub and mist rising in the room.
"Why are you here?!"
"Cough cough cough——"
Suddenly seeing the person sitting in front of her, her throat was itchy from the smoke and she coughed a few times.
Xie Chenxu was sitting less than ten feet away from her, staring at her with his deep eyes. She was covered with a layer of water vapor, making her fair and tender skin seem to be covered with a layer of crystal clear light.
The whole body is pink and white.
"Watch you take a bath."
After Jiang Ning showed a look that said, "I have a question for you," he spoke these words softly on his lips and teeth.
For some reason, Jiang Ning's cheeks suddenly blushed when she saw the scabbed wound on his thin lip, and even her small earlobes were dyed a touch of pink.
"Bring me my clothes."
Perhaps after taking a hot bath to remove the medicinal properties from her body, Jiang Ning's mind became much clearer.
"Are you sure you can stand firm?"
Xie Chenxu's eyelashes cast a layer of light and shadow, and his eyes seemed to want to look away but were reluctant to look away.
Revealing a trace of anxiety.
"Can."
Jiang Ning affirmed.
Xie Chenxu handed her her dress.
After he turned around, Jiang Ning stood up with weak legs. After putting on one sleeve, she felt a weight on her head, and she let out a burst of screams.
Xie Chenxu turned around, tightened his palms around her waist, and held her firmly in his arms. The dress that was in the way fell to the ground in an instant.
