Chapter 221
The old man brought the bracelet to Xie Changyuan.

Xie Changyuan showed hesitation, and after a moment he stretched out his slender finger and hooked the bracelet on his fingertip.

The old man pointed not far away again, "The lady is going over there. She is so beautiful and there is no one around her. It is really worrying. Master, please go quickly."

Xie Changyuan was silent, remembering that the capital was indeed not very peaceful.

At any rate, he and Chen Shulan had met each other before. They were fine now, so it was okay to go over and take a look.

In this way, Xie Changyuan put the bracelet away, paid the old man selling lanterns again, and went to the place the old man said.

There are many people on the street, and there are also many people setting up lanterns by the river at the moment.

And most of the people putting up lanterns are young women.

Xie Changyuan's appearance and temperament are really eye-catching. Along the way, I don't know how many women have attracted secret glances, with blushing faces and heartbeats.

If it were before, Xie Changyuan would definitely smile at those girls and show some kindness.

But now, he kept his eyes open and searched for Chen Shulan who was alone.

After walking about half a cup of tea, Xie Changyuan suddenly stopped and looked back not far away.

It was a dry and messy patch of weeds, and no one putting up river lanterns came this way.

There is a trodden path through the weeds, a passage as wide as a person.

Xie Changyuan narrowed his eyes, picked up the hem of his robe and walked over there.

After only taking a few steps, he saw the back of a woman.

With a "crash" sound, the woman stepped into the water with one foot, and stepped down step by step into the river fearlessly.

Xie Changyuan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the woman's wrist.

The woman turned around.

The beautiful face was pale and bloodless, the night wind ruffled her bun, and a few strands of broken hair undulated gently on her cheeks.

She looked at Xie Changyuan, her eyes that should have been big and bright, were now lifeless and full of despair and defeat.

"Are you looking for death?"

Xie Changyuan's words touched Chen Shulan's mind.

Chen Shulan struggled hard: "Let go!"

Xie Changyuan frowned slightly and threw the person away: "Excuse me, please continue."

wow.

Chen Shulan's center of gravity was unsteady and she fell down by the river. She looked at the light waves on the river with a dull expression and didn't know what to do.

It took her a lot of determination to make this decision.

It took almost all of his courage to get to this point. He was interrupted at this moment, but Xie Changyuan was still such a person who didn't play his cards according to the rules.

Say "Excuse me, please continue."

The six words seemed to be an understatement, but they seemed to wake Chen Shulan out of his confusion.

Is she so cowardly and incompetent that she can only seek relief by seeking death?
Is it really that serious?
Chen Shulan grabbed the withered grass on the side and struggled to climb ashore from the shallow water.

However, the hem of her skirt was soaked and mud accumulated under her feet.

She tried twice and couldn't get up.

"Immortal again?"

Xie Changyuan, who was about to leave, stopped and did not step forward to help. Instead, he squatted not far away with interest, "Do you need help, Miss Chen?"

"..."

Chen Shulan felt her feet sinking deeper and deeper, and her thoughts were spinning rapidly in her mind.

It will be difficult for her to escape without help.

If you don't ask him for help and ask others to come, your ugly appearance will be spread everywhere, which will not be good for you or the Chen family.

Besides, the river water was cold, and she didn't think her body could last long.

Although Chen Shulan hated and annoyed Xie Changyuan in front of him, Chen Shulan still had no choice.Taking a deep breath, Chen Shulan turned towards Xie Changyuan, her tone was a little cold but very polite: "Excuse me, Sir, please help me."

"Good to say."

Xie Changyuan smiled and held Chen Shulan's wrist.

When Chen Shulan struggled by herself, she fell deeper and deeper into the mud, but with Xie Changyuan's gentle pull, she escaped from the mud.

Just the moment my feet hit the ground, my legs and feet hurt.

Chen Shulan clenched her teeth and did not cry out in pain, but her face turned extremely pale.

"What's wrong?" Xie Changyuan lowered his head and glanced at her abnormal posture, "Are you injured?"

"Small wound."

Chen Shulan pushed Xie Changyuan away and tried to stand up on her own.

Xie Changyuan also let go.

But Chen Shulan obviously overestimated himself.

But as soon as she stood firm, she felt a sharp pain, and she fell uncontrollably onto Xie Changyuan.

Xie Changyuan raised his hands slightly to avoid suspicion, with a slight teasing smile in his tone: "God is wise, it was Miss Chen who jumped at me, not me, Xie Wutang Tubei."

"..." Chen Shulan's expression was extremely ugly.

She resented that Xie Changyuan, a libertine, dared to tease her like this, and also resented that she was so weak.

But she couldn't even stand firm on her own.

Embarrassment, anger, shame and other emotions were mixed together, and Chen Shulan's face turned red, blue and white.

Xie Changyuan smiled and said: "It's better than the dead look just now."

After saying this, he took off his cloak and shone it on Chen Shulan. He picked it up and picked up Chen Shulan, who was covered in mud.

Chen Shulan quickly held his shoulders and looked at him in horror.

The cloak almost completely covered her, leaving only a pair of eyes looking at him.

"I was kind enough to save you, but please don't take advantage of me and do anything to me." Xie Changyuan said with a faint smile, his posture was very generous.

Chen Shulan gritted her teeth, quickly took her hand back, and said "Thank you" in a very low voice.

Xie Changyuan ordered the followers behind him to find the people of Pingzhanghou Mansion, while he carried Chen Shulan to his ship.

Along the way, I met the young master who had just been drinking together. Naturally, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the woman in his arms.

"Hey, Xie Wu, didn't you go home? In the blink of an eye, you came back with a girl in your arms?"

"Just now, he was looking outside in a daze. He must have discovered some stunning beauty. He said 'going home' was just an excuse to hunt for her."

"Hahahaha, come on, come on, Xie Wu, tell us to see what kind of beauty you have coaxed today?"

Sensing that those people were not far away, Chen Shulan immediately became very nervous. She pinched the clothes in front of Xie Changyuan and hid her face in front of him.

She must never ask these people to identify themselves.

"Hey, the beauty is shy..."

"Let us also open our eyes, Xie Wu, don't be so stingy."

All the romantic dandies burst into laughter.

This made Chen Shulan extremely regretful. Just now, she was squatting on the shore waiting for the people in Pingzhanghou Mansion. She was better than those who followed Xie Changyuan.

A low smile sounded above her head, and Chen Shulan felt the chest of the man next to her vibrate slightly, and then she realized that she was too close.

However, when he let go and fell outside, he couldn't hide his face.

Chen Shulan could only bite the bullet and continue.

Xie Changyuan smiled and said: "Since I have hunted the beauty, how can I let you see it? Go, go, get out of the way. My little beauty just fell into the water and soiled her clothes. She was also frightened. I have to Get some comfort.”
