Chapter 52: Shocking Changes in the Water
Fang Ziyu's eyes rolled around, and he muttered, "That...... , this ......". Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He couldn't think of an excuse for a long time, and scolded in his heart: This damn Xia Yucheng only whispered to himself to cover me, and then slipped away, leaving him alone here to face the stinky face of the third prince, which is how good is it.
Seeing that the third prince's face turned from white to blue, and it was getting worse and worse, Fang Ziyu suddenly thought about it, squinted his eyes and said flatteringly: "Yu Cheng said that it is not good to congratulate Old Lady Han on his birthday with an empty pair of hands, and he went to look for a birthday gift."
The third prince gritted his teeth angrily, he didn't stare at it in the blink of an eye, Xia Yi ran away, and he didn't know who gave his father the bad idea and threw this burden to him.
But for now, he still has to find this troublemaker first, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to go out to find someone.
The guests in the hall were in a fog and didn't know what was going on, who was this Xia Yi, and why did he make the third prince so angry?
Besides, on the side of the Water Pavilion, Lord Anzhen looked around at the women in front of him, inadvertently saw Mu Zhiyan, and said, "Second Miss Mu, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Mu Zhiyan didn't expect that the county lord Anzhen would still remember him, and the last time he saw him was when the empress dowager was funeral three years ago.
He lowered his head and responded: "Yes, the courtiers went back to their ancestors' house to live, and it was really an honor for the courtiers to meet the county lord here."
Mu Zhiyan's violent beating of the son of the Qing family of Taichang Temple has long been an open secret among the nobles of the capital, how could the county lord of Anzhen not know, presumably Mu Zhiyan returned to Fengyang not to live, but to avoid the limelight.
It's one thing to know, but no one would be stupid enough to say this, Lord Anzhen smiled lightly, "It's also my honor to meet a wonderful person like Miss Mu Er again."
Then he turned his head to look at the second grandmother Sun and said, "Second cousin-in-law, I'm tired and want to go and rest for a while, so I won't bother the girls' Yaxing here."
After speaking, she turned her head to look at Mu Zhiyan again, and invited: "I don't have any acquaintances here, is Second Miss Mu willing to accompany me for a walk?"
The county lord spoke, and how dare Mu Zhiyan refuse, so he nodded yes.
The county lord of Anzhen took Mu Zhiyan and left from the railing, and when he passed by Mu Zhiyue's side, he stopped and said, "Mu Liu, let's also go for a walk", and without waiting for Mu Zhiyue to answer, he led people out of the pavilion.
Mu Zhiyue wondered in her heart, what happened today, she always encountered some strange things, but she also hurriedly raised her heels.
Mu Jingyun couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart, she knew the county lord of Anzhen with the sixth sister, but she treated the sixth sister differently, it must have been Han Yao who said bad things about herself in front of the county lord of Anzhen, but she didn't know where the sixth sister got her blessing.
As soon as the county lord Anzhen left, Tong Youyou stumbled unsteadily, and a girl standing beside her quickly supported her.
She was really frightened this time, although the county lord Anzhen was the daughter of the anti-king, but she had been with the empress dowager for so many years, and the saint had never treated her harshly, and she still retained the honor of her county lord, how could she be despised by the daughter of a four-grade prefect.
She bowed to the second grandmother with a pale face: "Can you trouble the second grandmother to arrange someone to help me call my mother over, I am a little uncomfortable, I want to go back first"
Second Grandma Sun has already seen what happened, and where can she dare to force Tong Youyou to stay, if this matter is investigated, she will naturally be responsible for being the host of entertaining female guests. So he sent someone to call Mrs. Tong and arranged a room for Tong Youyou to rest.
The merchant girl was bolder, with Lord Tong's daughter in front of her, and there were no famous people in her family, besides, there were so many people here, how could the county lord remember which one she was, so she was not afraid.
The county lord of Anzhen took Mu Zhiyan and Mu Zhiyue to walk on the tree-lined path, she didn't speak, and the two sisters of the Mu family didn't speak.
It wasn't until he reached the vicinity of an unknown bush that the county lord of Anzhen stopped, turned to Mu Zhiyan and Mu Zhiyue and said, "You two go back, thank you for accompanying me so far."
The Mu family sisters were stunned, what is the situation, calling them over is purely to walk with her?
The two glanced at each other, and they both read the same meaning from each other's eyes, it turned out that what the county lord of Anzhen said, "Take a walk with me", was really just ...... Take a walk.
The county lord Anzhen looked at the two of them like this, laughed out loud, and then said to the two: "You two are boring enough, I don't open my mouth and you don't speak, do you walk with people like this."
Only then did the two know that Lord An Zhen was just joking with them, but this joke was really not funny at all.
Lord An Zhen stood in front of the bushes, looking at the lake where they had just left, and the girls frolicking by the lake.
sighed: "To be honest, sometimes I envy them, there is no burden of identity, so they can dare to act, I haven't seen such a lively scene for many years."
The two sisters of the Mu family all wanted to take a step back, the thoughts of these noble girls, especially the thoughts of the county lord Anzhen, they really didn't want to know.
The county lord of An Zhen changed the topic as if he felt the thoughts of the two: "How old is Miss Mu Liu this year?"
"The folk girl is eight years old this year", Mu Zhiyue replied obediently.
"No," the Lord of Anzhen asserted, "you seem to be much calmer and smarter than your peers."
"You know my ......", Lord An Zhen's second sentence was only halfway before he stopped.
Turning around from the bushes, he faced the Mu family sisters and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you what I'm going to do with this." The feast in front of us is about to begin, so the two girls should go back to the lake, lest everyone be gone in a while."
Mu Zhiyue followed the words of the county lord An Zhen and looked at the lake, the girls on the water pavilion didn't know what they were talking about, they were all smiling and beautiful, and it was also a beautiful scenery.
Looking outward, I looked at the sparkling lake, where the breeze blew and the water rippled with the wind.
Suddenly, Mu Zhiyue's eyes tightened, she seemed to see a black shadow on the surface of the lake swimming towards the water pavilion, looking at it carefully, making sure that it was not her own dazzle, and her heart tightened.
He didn't care about his manners, and shouted: "There's something in the water", and then ran towards the lake.
At that moment, she didn't think about the height of the arch bridge at all, and even if the things in the water were dangerous, they might not be able to get to it, but she was driven by an instinctive sense of crisis, and wanted to go over as soon as possible to inform the people on the bridge to leave there.
When Lord An Zhen and Mu Zhiyan heard the shout, they also looked towards the lake, and they both saw the black shadow swimming towards the arch bridge at a very fast speed.
The county lord of Anzhen hurriedly beckoned the servant woman who followed him, caught up with Mu Zhiyue and hurried to inform the people on the arch bridge, and then the two of them also quickened their pace and walked towards the water pavilion.
Mu Zhiyue trotted all the way, but the speed was surprisingly fast, because he was talking to the county lord Anzhen just now, so Lingyan and Xiao Zhuo did not wait closely. So much so that now the two maids are chasing their own girl from afar, but they can only watch the girl gallop in front.
When Mu Zhiyue ran to the arch bridge, she was already out of breath, she covered her beating heart and shouted at the servant woman waiting under the bridge, "Get out of there quickly, the danger is ......."
Then she shouted to the girl who was looking at her from the arch bridge: "There is something under the bridge, get out of the way."
As soon as the words fell, he heard a burst of water "bang", Mu Zhiyue secretly said "Oops", turned his head to look into the water......
