Chapter 224: Don't Confess to Yourself

84_84041 "Three Misses! Third Miss, where are you? Mei Xiang retrieved the cloak, but couldn't find Xiang Rong. She remembered that she was waiting by the bridge when she left, why did she come back and disappear?

Mei Xiang stood on the small bridge and looked down, but she swept everywhere she could get it, but she still didn't find it.

She pondered that Rong might be too cold, and she didn't wait to go back first, but the two didn't meet when they forked the road, so she hurriedly ran back.

But when I went back to the room, I found that Xiangrong didn't come back at all!

Mei Xiang was in a hurry now, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only go back and look for it again, but she still found nothing.

The little girl was so tired that she couldn't breathe, but she was finally still sensible, and after thinking for a while, she went to Tongshengxuan to find it. walked straight to the little moon gate in Liuyuan, and when he saw the girl who was keeping vigil, he hurriedly asked, "Can you see that the third lady is coming here?" ”

The girl was ordered, and she was quite polite to the people in An's courtyard, and when she asked, she shook her head and replied, "No, no one has come here for this night." What's wrong? Why did you come here in the middle of the night to find Miss Three? ”

Mei Xiang was so anxious that she stomped her foot, "No, I have to go back and tell Aunt An that the third miss is gone!" After saying that, he turned around and ran.

An's was still in a dream, and when he was called up, he was still wondering if he was dreaming, and he saw Mei Xiang crying in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "Why don't you stay by the third lady's side at night, why do you come to me to cry?" ”

Mei Xiang cried too much, and her words were incomplete, so she could only be relayed by An's personal maid Ping'er: "Mei Xiang said that the third lady is gone." ”

"What?" An was shocked, and got off the bed as soon as he got dressed, and asked Mei Xiang while dressing, "What the hell is going on, tell me quickly!" ”

Mei Xiang told the story again, carefully and carefully, and when it came to the end, the three of them had already left the yard and rushed to the artificial lake.

"The slave didn't dare to scream too loudly, for fear of being heard by others, Xu was not looking carefully, aunt look for it again!"

An Shi was so angry and anxious that he couldn't help but twist Mei Xiang, and said angrily: "Even Miss can't stand it, why do you keep a girl like you?" ”

Mei Xiang knew that she was wrong, where did she dare to quibble, so she only said vigorously: "As long as the third lady is fine, Mei Xiang will let her aunt deal with it." ”

Ping'er followed and persuaded An's: "Auntie, don't worry, it's important to find the third lady now, let's go faster!" ”

The three of them almost trotted to the bridge, but the artificial lake at night was quiet, and there was half a figure somewhere.

The more he searched, the more desperate he became, and finally he simply sat down by the lake, looking at the quiet water, and had an urge to jump. If Ping'er hadn't found out that something was wrong with her in time and pulled it in time, I was afraid that she would have fallen into the water.

At this time, I heard Mei Xiang shouting not far away: "Come and see!" ”

The two of them shook their nerves and quickly got up and ran there. When he arrived, he saw Mei Xiang pointing to a place by the lake, her face turned pale with fright, and she said tremblingly: "Look at this stone, has it been trampled on?" ”

As soon as she said this, An Shi and Ping'er also paid attention. Sure enough, a half-sized stone was obviously half stepped on, and the brand-new stone stubble was exposed, which was shocking to see.

"Ping'er." An Shi suddenly calmed down, although his body was still a little trembling, but he was no longer as panicked as before, "Go and inform the old lady, just say...... The third lady fell into the water, please ask the old lady to save her life. ”

"Yes." Ping'er answered, and strode towards Shuyayuan.

The news of the third lady falling into the water soon spread throughout the mansion, except for the housekeeper He Zhong and the people in the mansion, the first master to rush over was Shen Yu.

I saw her rush to the lake, only glanced at An's, and then set her eyes on the lake again. stared at it in a daze for a while, and then asked Yi Lin beside him in a low voice: "You say, how deep does this lake be?" ”

Yi Lin replied: "The slave maid has heard Steward He say before that the largest artificial lake in the house is nine feet deep. ”

"Nine feet." A smile tugged at the corner of Deep Fish's lips, "Nine-foot deep water, the little man who wants to be Rong will definitely drown if he falls, right?" ”

Yi Lin was stunned for a moment, in the impression that the third lady has always been a silent person, as if there is no direct conflict with the eldest lady, why would the eldest lady say such a thing?

On the other end, He Zhong had already sent a subordinate with good water quality to jump into the lake to find someone.

There is a circulation outlet at the bottom of the artificial lake in Fengfu, and the water is alive, although it is a harsh winter, it does not freeze. But with such cold water, anyone who jumps down will choke, and no matter how good the water is, it can't stand the freezing.

It didn't take long for the people to jump down and climb up again, their lips purple and their limbs stiff from the cold.

Shen Yu took two steps forward, and the Bodhisattva's face came out again, looking at the people who went into the water: "It's too cold underwater, they are also people, and they will freeze to death." ”

Those subordinates looked at Shen Yu gratefully, as if this eldest lady was Guanyin who rescued the suffering. No one has ever cared about their life or death, only the eldest lady will, although it is just a sentence, but listening to the hearts of these people, even on such a winter night, it will feel warm.

However, this gratitude has only just begun, and Ahn is heard to say loudly: "Go and get soju!" You guys, as long as you carefully search and rescue the third lady in the lake, you will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver each! ”

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, An's words, those who were still moved by the words of Shen Yu were immediately shocked, without saying a word, turned their heads, and plunged into the water again.

What is not fatal, in front of fifty taels of silver, it is all. They do rough work for Fengfu, and a month's salary is only two taels, and fifty taels is two years' wages, so what else do they care?

So, the search and rescue work for Xiangrong can be regarded as the real beginning.

When the old lady came, what she saw was a group of people who knew how to swim in the lake, and there were people who were more water-oriented and went directly to find it.

The old lady nodded, "The Feng family just needs such a minion." ”

He Zhong wiped his sweat a little weakly, and said in his heart that if Aunt An hadn't promised the silver, who would have been able to find it like this!

It's a pity that the search and rescue work at night in ancient times was too difficult, there was no light, and what could you see clearly by only the moonlight? A group of people searched in the water for a long time, but they didn't see any gains.

Some people couldn't stand the cold, so they climbed ashore to pour a sip of wine, and after a while, they immediately dived into the water again.

"An's, come here." The old lady sat in a soft chair and had difficulty moving, so she could only call An Shi to her side, "Let me ask you, what do you want to run out in the middle of the night?" Why don't you look at it? ”

An's was about to go crazy, where could he bother to tell the old lady this, and he didn't have a good temper at the moment, so he only replied casually: "She can't sleep, she wants to go see the second miss." With that, he walked back to the lake.

The old lady yelled angrily: "You stop me!" ”

An was stunned and stood in place.

"How bold do you be? How dare you throw a face at me? An's, are you crazy? ”

An Shi turned his head suddenly, and a pair of angry eyes that he had never seen before stared at the old lady, making the old lady tremble - "What are you doing here?" ”

"Old lady." An Shi opened his mouth and asked her very puzzled: "Your granddaughter fell into the water, you don't care whether she is dead or alive, at this time, why is it to investigate the right and wrong of the concubine?" Even if the third lady is a concubine, she is also your own granddaughter, don't you feel distressed? ”

"Why don't I feel distressed?" The old lady was so angry that she trembled: "Aren't you looking for this?" No matter how anxious I am, can I still jump down and find it together? You yourself didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran out, and when something happened, the whole house was uneasy, and now you still come to question me? ”

"The concubine didn't question the old lady, the concubine just felt sorry for the third lady." It's chilling to be born in such a family.

"Auntie, there's a discovery!" Before the old lady could speak again, Mei Xiang suddenly shouted loudly, "Auntie, look, these are the shoes of the third lady!" ”

An Shi hurriedly ran over, and saw Mei Xiang holding a dripping shoe in her hand, and the pink brocade forging was made for Xiangrong when she first entered winter this year.

Originally, there was a glimmer of hope, thinking that it was possible that Rong Rong did not fall into the water, but now that he saw this shoe, An's last hope was also shattered.

The tense nerves collapsed in an instant, and as soon as the legs became weak, the person sat down on the ground with a plop.

Ping'er was so frightened that she hurriedly pounced, but at this time, another subordinate who came out of the water shouted loudly: "Look, is this veil the third lady's?" ”

Everyone turned their heads to see that Mei Xiang was most familiar with what Xiang Rong was doing, and she recognized the handkerchief at a glance, it was the one that Xiang Rong was holding in her hand when she came out tonight.

"My daughterβ€”" Ahn broke down and cried.

The people in the water gradually went ashore, and even if there was a heavy reward, the body was at its limit.

Shen Yu hurriedly ordered: "Go and get the blanket quickly." And he refuted the gratitude of the people.

There was a good subordinate who could barely stand up and talk back to the masters, so he said to the old lady: "I'm afraid it's too deep, the lake is too big, and it's dark at night, so I can't find it." ”

The old lady nodded, "It's really difficult." Looking at An's who broke down and cried, he remembered what she said about wanting to be her own granddaughter, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "You guys take it slowly, and go down and search again in a while." ”

The old lady had spoken, and what else could she say, so she could only nod her head and helplessly pick up her warmth.

At this time, in Han's courtyard, Fandai was standing in front of Han's bed and shaking her vigorously: "Hurry up!" If something happened to you, everyone went over to see it, how could you still sleep? ”

Ah Ju cautiously said to Fandai: "Auntie has been sleeping very deeply in recent days, and she is a little lazier than usual. ”

Fan Dai didn't understand what this meant, and she didn't think much about it, she was still shaking Han, and her voice raised a few points: "Get up!" Hurry upβ€”"

The last sound rang directly into Han's ears, and the person who was originally "asleep" on the couch couldn't pretend anymore, and woke up in a daze. "Fourth Miss? Why are you here? She asked, looking out, "Is it dawn?" ”

"Bright, bright!" Fan Dai rolled her eyes angrily, "I called you for a long time, why don't you wake up?" ”

Han Shi stretched his waist and said helplessly: "Don't you always say that I'm pregnant, people who are pregnant are snooze, and this is a normal phenomenon for me." ”

"Really?" Fandel doesn't understand.

Han nodded, "It was the same when I was pregnant with you. ”

Fandel's eyes lit up, "So, is it true?" ”

"I'm not a doctor." Han Shi thought for a while, and then said: "Let's wait a few days, wait for the pulse to stabilize and then invite the doctor to come into the house to take a look, the days are still short, don't be inaccurate." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Fan Dai nodded again and again, "Don't be afraid of being late, the accurate title is real." Alright, you lie down, I'll go by myself. ”

"Well, then you be careful, the lake is dangerous, don't get too close."

"Huh?" It's okay if Han doesn't tell him, but this instruction makes Fan Dai hear that something is wrong, "Lakeside? How do you know I'm going to the lake? ”。
