Chapter 49 The Fallen

Seeing that he was about to fall into the release pool, Jiang Sheng only saw a piece of bamboo green clothes waving in front of his eyes, and then he was helped by someone, and he staggered to his feet.

It wasn't Jiang Sheng who fell into the water.

The faint smell of soap locust passed the tip of his nose, and Jiang Sheng could barely raise his eyes.

Who?
Jiang Yan?

Jiang Yan let go of Jiang Sheng's arm: "How is it?"

Qiao Zhi quickly supported her: "Shengsheng..."

Jiang Sheng stepped back a little, looked at the corner of her wet skirt, then shook her head: "It's okay."

Someone just pushed her.

Jiang Sheng frowned.

In the release pool, there was a girl bobbing up and down on the water surface, her head was exposed and submerged in the water, her hands were beating the water surface to call for help, her hair was tangled together like seaweed.

People around hurriedly shouted: "Save people, save people quickly!"

"Save people!"

All of a sudden, the surroundings became noisy, and the maids and women by the pool hurriedly took care of their own girls, so as not to cause any trouble.

The two women holding the life-release wooden basin fended off the crowd, and asked cautiously, "Is Miss Jiang hurt?"

If the girl from Jiangpinghou's family fell into the water because of their poor care, and the punishment would be minor, I'm afraid they would lose the work at hand.

The mother-in-law looked at Jiang Yan with gratitude, and saluted Jiang Yan and thanked him: "Thank you, young master, which family are you from?"

Jiang Sheng said lightly, "This is my brother."

The mother-in-law came to a sudden: "This slave has clumsy eyesight, so he is the son of Marquis Jiangping?"

It's strange how meaningful it is.

Jiang Yan didn't respond to this address, but said: "Sister She's skirt is wet, there are so many people here, please take her back first."

"Yes, yes, this servant will take the girl back to the dormitory."

Qiao Zhi also said: "For us, go back quickly."

Before Jiang Sheng left, she looked back at the release pool, the girl who fell into the water had been rescued, she was lying on the ground, she was wet all over, and there were doctors around to rescue her.

Could it be just an accident?Didn't someone push her?
Jiang Sheng lowered his eyes and covered his long eyelashes lightly.

……

Inside Qiao's hut.

Mrs. Sun was talking with Mrs. Hou, while Qiao Zhi's mother, Mrs. Chen, and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li were drinking tea.

Chen Shi glanced at the cup of tea that was full of water, and the woman standing aside hurriedly added it to her face.Chen raised her hand to slightly stop: "Calculating the time, Xiaozhi should be back..."

She turned her head and asked Sun: "Xing Qun, let's pack up and go find Shu Er?"

Xingqun is Sun's boudoir name.

Chen said with a smile: "Xiao Zhi has been close to Shu'er since she was a child, the last time there were too many people at the palace banquet, it was difficult to talk, and it was the last time when Shu'er came back to talk about the two of them being together."

"In the mansion, I was clamoring to come to Mushan Temple with my sister." She pretended to sigh, "I said that your sister has a husband's family now, how can she be as free as you think?"

Sun frowned: "It's not easy."

Sun joked: "I remember Shu'er's husband-in-law also has a younger brother, who should be thirteen or fourteen years old. If the sister-in-law is willing to marry Xiao Zhi to the Qian family, wouldn't the two sisters be together every day?"

Mrs. Sun's words were a joke, but she also meant it sincerely.

She has only one son and one daughter in her life, and her daughter has a gentle temperament... What Mrs. Sun is most worried about is that her daughter will be bullied.So the husband wants to marry his daughter to a wealthy family, but she absolutely disagrees.

Now that Qiao Shu is married to the Qian family, she has her mother's family to rely on, so the Qian family would not dare to tease Qiao Shu.

It's just that the Qian family has two brothers who are descended from the first line, and Sun is still a little afraid that her daughter's sister-in-law will not get along well.

But if Qiao Zhi also married into the Qian family, she would have no worries about this.After all, Qiao Zhi and Qiao Shu are no different from real sisters.

Chen sneered: "The youngest son of the Qian family is only so young, we, Xiao Zhi, are already old enough."

Mrs. Sun knew what Mrs. Chen meant when she disagreed, so she smiled and dropped the topic.

The two of them were talking about other things when suddenly a woman knocked on the door, and before anyone could open it, the door was already pushed in.

"Who is this?" So impolite.

The crowd looked.

The woman who pushed the door was the woman who took Jiang Sheng and Qiao Zhi to the Free Life Pond. Jiang Sheng next to her was holding a skirt, a corner of the skirt was wet, and the soaked fabric was darker, and it hung down a little bulky.

Madam Hou's heart tightened: "What's the matter?"

Chen Shi also stood up, took Qiao Zhi's hands to look up and down, and was relieved when she saw that she was fine.

Qiao Zhi withdrew her hand, leaned against Chen's side and said coquettishly, "Mother, I'm fine, but Shengsheng's skirt got a little wet."

The mother-in-law hurriedly replied: "It's all because the servants are not good at taking care of them, but Ma'am, don't worry, it's because someone accidentally fell into the release pool and hit Miss Jiang."

"Fortunately, Mr. Ling happened to be at the side to help Miss Jiang. Except for the corner of her skirt being wet, nothing else happened."

The mother-in-law knows what Mrs. Hou is worried about.

The reputation of the daughter's family is the most important thing. If she falls into the water with others, even if she has ten mouths, she will not be able to tell.

Madam Hou frowned.

It's really unlucky to be so good, this has never happened in previous years.

She ordered Banzhan: "Please ask the people in the temple to make a bowl of ginger soup, and then invite the doctor to take a look, so as not to catch a cold."

Jiang Sheng pulled the wet piece aside: "Don't bother, it's just a little wet, just change it."

Mrs. Hou gave Jiang Sheng a blank look and ignored her, then remembered something, and continued to tell Banzhan: "Go and find out who fell into the water."

Don't kill anyone, and make her family's life a nightmare.

Banzhan said: "Yes." Then he was busy doing things.

"By the way——" Madam Hou finished giving all orders, and only then did she recall what the mother-in-law said, "You mean Mr. Ling? Which Mr.?"

Isn't Xiaoyan unable to say it?

The mother-in-law looked at Jiang Sheng: "This..."

Jiang Sheng said, "It's brother, not Xiaoyan."

Madam Hou frowned even more tightly.

Why is Jiang Yan here?

There were many people in the dormitory, so she didn't say anything, and just asked another girl to take Jiang Sheng into the room to change the skirt.

After a while, Jiang Sheng changed into a new dress, and the doctor woman in the temple said it was all right after seeing it. Madam Hou forced her to drink ginger soup before she knelt down on the futon.

Banzhan has already returned to the dormitory, and Mrs. Hou is communicating with Banzhan.

Banzhan said: "Just now, the servant sent someone to the release pool to see. The one who fell into the water was a little girl from Mushan Temple. I think I accidentally tripped over it."

"The water in the pool is not deep, and she was rescued in time. Now she has woken up and is fine."

No one was killed, which is somewhat reassuring.

But Mrs. Hou still sneered: "Who cares if she's okay or not."

It's fine if you're not careful, but you'll hurt other people too.

Thinking that it was Jiang Sheng who was almost accidentally injured by the white tiger at the palace banquet, Mrs. Hou couldn't help thinking that the day was not smooth, why was the bad luck so bad, maybe Jiang Sheng bumped into some god?
Although nothing happened, Mrs. Hou didn't dare to stay any longer, so she wanted to return home.

She ordered Banzhan: "Send a few more people to find Miss Xian, and let's go back to Houfu."

Then he turned to Chen Shi and Sun Shi and said, "Sister-in-law, then I'll go first and see Qiao Shu next time."

Chen shi was eager, and smiled softly: "What's the big problem? I'm afraid Shengsheng will be bluffed because of this, it's good for you to go back to the house early to rest."
