chapter 2
"Hurry up, Mr. Xie and Miss Zhao are almost at the lake. Everyone, please prepare and lend a hand."
Lu Songli took a look, and in just a moment, Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan were almost ashore. Qin Sheng pursed his lips and stepped forward to take over his fiancée.
Seeing the stunned look of his second young lady, Bingmo was anxious. Their second young lady was stubborn and could hold on even though she was weak. Miss Zhao was much healthier than her second young lady. Now that she had fainted, she didn't have to face these people. of discussion.
If Lu Songli knew what she was thinking, he would definitely not agree. Fainting could escape other people's eyes and words, but it also meant losing the initiative.
Lu Songli heard the comments around her, so naturally she wouldn't do nothing, and she also had doubts in her heart. She thought for a while, got up, and stepped forward step by step. Her face was very pale and her gaze was a bit intimidating. Others unconsciously gave way to her.
At this time, both Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan were wrapped in cloaks, while Zhao Yutan's eyes were closed tightly, as if he had fainted. Under the dim light, there was a fragile and broken beauty.
Lu Songli looked at her, pulled her hand on her back, pulled off the wet white cloak on the second layer, and threw it on Zhao Yutan's face.
Being attacked, Zhao Yutan's upper body trembled unconsciously.
Zhao Yutan's maid, Hongdou, rushed forward to protect her master, screaming, "What are you doing?" and at the same time peeling off the wet cloak covering her face.
Xie Zhan looked at Lu Songli and frowned.
Qin Sheng stared at Zhao Yutan lying on the ground suspiciously.
Others also felt that Lu Songli's move was a bit excessive.
At this time, Zhao Yutan's cousin Guo Yan threw the baggage in her hand on the ground and ran over, "Lu Songli, you are too bullying!" She reached out to push her as she spoke.
Lu Songli snorted coldly, stretched out her right hand and pushed Guo Yan aside with a clever move, knocking her butt.
Qin Sheng subconsciously wanted to take action to stop him, but after realizing that he didn't need to take action, he silently took his hand back.
When Lu Songli took action, she kept paying attention to Zhao Yutan's reaction. She thought to herself that she was indeed the heroine. Most people would scream when they were suddenly hit like this. She only trembled a little, and to others, it might have been a shiver.
Lu Songli said condescendingly to Zhao Yutan who was lying on the ground, "Zhao Yutan, this is the cloak you forced me to wear. I give it back to you." Zhao Yutan's eyelids trembled because Lu Songli kept staring at her face. So noticed. Because of the light, others didn't notice it at all. Sure enough, a flash of understanding flashed in Lu Songli's eyes.
Qin Sheng came from a family of military generals and was not weak in martial arts. He had been staring at Zhao Yutan just now, so naturally he did not miss the twitch of her eyelids, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Lu Songli's every move caused people around her to whisper, "What does she mean by this?"
"Are you blaming Zhao Yutan?"
Someone whispered, "We did recognize the wrong person just now because of this white cloak."
"Does Lu Songli think Zhao Yutan did it on purpose?"
Hongdou asked sharply, "Second Miss of the Lu family, what do you mean? Our eldest lady gave you the cloak because you were weak, and now you blame our eldest lady?"
Not to be outdone, Lu Songli's personal maid Bing Mo counterattacked, "Do you need it? Someone on our side already went to get the cloak!"
Hongdou leaned on Zhao Yutan and cried loudly, "Miss, you are so unjust. You treat your kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs."
The two sides were arguing like this, and the discussion around them became louder.
Guo Yan cursed loudly, "Lu Songli, you are going too far! How can you blame all your mistakes on a comatose person?"
Xie Zhan's brows tightened even more.
Many others looked at her disapprovingly.
Lu Songli ignored them. She doesn't care about the blind man. Besides, this was just to shirk the blame to protect herself, she didn't feel guilty, and besides, Zhao Yutan was not necessarily innocent.
After Guo Yan finished scolding Lu Songli, she turned around and scolded Qin Sheng, "Qin Sheng, are you blind? Lu Songli has bullied your fiancée to the point where you don't even dare to let go!"
Qin Sheng crossed his arms over his chest and glanced at her like she was an idiot. What else can she do besides talking nonsense? Does she know what's going on?
How could these people bully the second young lady of her family? Mo Bing was not happy anymore, and protected Lu Songli behind him like a baby, and started to whisper, "Both of them fell into the water at the same time, why can my second lady's broken body still hold up? If she didn't feel guilty, she could have fainted ?"
Her words caused people around her to start whispering again. Mo Bing's words were not unreasonable. It was not a big secret that Lu Songli had always been mentally ill.
Lu Songli secretly gave a thumbs up to her Mo Bing. She cooperated so well. She was worthy of being the maid specially arranged for her by her original owner's parents.
Don't you even wake up? Lu Songli looked at the lying person with evil intentions, immediately covered her chest and said sadly, "Zhao Yutan, I treat you like a sister, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this?!" After speaking, it seemed that he couldn't hold it in any longer, He clutched his chest and fell straight down, pressing in the direction of Zhao Yutan.
"Second Miss!"
Bingmo was horrified and quickly stretched out his hand to pull her, but his center of gravity was unstable and he was pulled down instead.
Hongdou could only watch helplessly as the master and servant of the Lu family pressed towards her and her master. She did not dare to hide. Once she hid, what would the master on the ground do?
The master and servant of the Lu family pressed heavily on the master and servant Zhao Yutan, and they fell into a ball.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Noticing that Lu Songli's eyelids moved slightly, Qin Sheng, who was about to step forward to help, paused and hummed in his heart, not everyone is a fuel-efficient lamp. Then he turned around and walked away.
His behavior was criticized by the Zhao family for a long time. But that’s a story for another day.
Today, the scene is still buzzing with chaos.
"Quick, someone come and separate them!"
"Ah, Miss Second, what's wrong with you? Are you mentally ill?!"
"Prince Princess, please call the doctor quickly!"
The eldest concubine of Prince Gong's palace appeared at the right time. Such changes occurred in Huxin Pavilion, and she hurried from the front yard.
Then, Lu Songli, Xie Zhan and the other four were arranged to the guest room of Prince Gong's Mansion, where they changed into dry clothes and drank a bowl of decoction to prevent wind and cold. The palace also hired doctors for Zhao Yutan and Lu Songli.
This incident alarmed Princess Gong. While they were busy here, the other guests left the palace and returned home amidst the Princess's apology.
The guests all understood this, and just looked at each other before leaving the house. You looked at me, I looked at you, and winked. After today's incident, the marriages of these families will not change, right?
After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, Zhao Yutan was fine. It was just that when Lu Songli and his servant pressed down on him, they had bruises or abrasions on his back and hands. As for why he remained unconscious, the doctor guessed that it was due to choking. Got water.
The Crown Princess of Prince Gong's Mansion suggested that Zhao Yutan rest in the guest room until he wakes up. But Hongdou disagreed and insisted on taking her back to Zhao Mansion. Qin Sheng went to escort him.
The people from the Zhao Mansion have decided to leave, and the people from the Wang Mansion have not continued to persuade them to stay. Just because they are more worried about the Lu family. The situation on Lu Songli's side is a little tricky. She already had a slight heart problem, but the accident caused her to faint due to shock and cold, which was a problem.
"We must do our best to treat the second young lady of the Lu family. If we need to use any precious medicinal materials, please tell me." The Crown Princess told the doctor.
After saying that, she led the people to the flower hall in the side courtyard.
As soon as she came in, Princess Gong asked, "How is it?"
The Crown Princess sat down and took a sip of hot tea, then shook her head, "I haven't woken up yet." She was holding a flower-viewing banquet today. She had been so busy from morning until now that she was spinning around without even a moment's rest. Her head hurt. .
"This matter must be handled well." Princess Gong confessed, "otherwise it will be very troublesome."
The Crown Princess nodded, of course she knew this. Although the Lu family is not a high-ranking family, everyone in the family is not a good person.
Although Lu Songli and her father Lu Desheng had a low official position and was only a fifth-rank censor, he was a supervisory censor. He worked in the Inspection Court of the three courtyards set up by the censor station and was responsible for inspecting the work style of all officials.
This man is a big troll in the court, either trolling others or on the way to trolling others. As the saying goes, there is only a wrong name but not a wrong nickname. Lu Desheng is more hated. He is a troublemaker that the officials hate and avoid. He is often called a sycophant behind his back. But they only cursed in private and rarely dared to dance in front of the rightful owner.
There was no way, in their opinion, this Lu Da troll, apart from protecting his shortcomings, had a simple family, a clean-cut family, and was not willing to take bribes or bend the law for personal gain, so there was little they could do to catch him. Besides, the emperor was protecting him and they couldn't do anything to him.
His wife, Mrs. Jiang, is a tough guy in the diplomatic circle. She has a stubborn temper. If you offend her, she doesn't care about your dignity or shame and will dare to say anything to you. Suffocating.
Lu Songli is the youngest daughter in the family and is very popular. They fell into the water during a flower-viewing banquet. It would be fine if nothing happened, but if something happened, I'm afraid this couple would go crazy.
There are also the eldest lady and the two young masters of the Lu family, both of whom are not easy to mess with.
