Chapter 196: Quickness
"Is she still alive?"
Mu Li patted Zhou Ru's face with the back of his hand and asked.
Aoba twisted the water on her clothes, glanced at the unconscious Zhou Ru, raised her foot and stepped on her chest, and her heel was forced.
Zhou Ru squirted out a mouthful of water, and Mu Li, who was squatting on the ground to watch her, was almost sprayed in the face.
"Aoba!"
He roared again: "Can you say it before you start!" ”
Aoba retracted his feet and thought about it, and said seriously: "Your Highness, I move my feet." ”
Mu Li twisted his eyebrows: "Say it before you move your hands and feet!" ”
Aoba glanced at Zhou Ru's ordinary face that was blistered by the lake and was not even medium, and his face was full of disgust: "I won't do anything to her." ”
"You ......"
Mu Li pointed at him angrily, and then pointed at Zhou Ru on the ground: "Can she still live!" ”
Aoba was about to nod his head, when his ears suddenly moved: "Someone is coming." ”
This person is naturally the nursery.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
Mu Li hurriedly got up.
Aoba looked at the footprints and other marks on the ground and frowned.
But now it's too late to deal with it, so I can only turn around and leave with Mu Li.
Neither of them noticed that the unconscious Zhou Ru's eyelids moved slightly after squirting out the saliva and opened his eyes slightly.
…………………………
"Miss, are you okay?"
The nursing home nervously looked at Zhou Ru who was lying on the ground and asked.
Zhou Ru squirted out a few more mouthfuls of water, and coughed for a long time before he completely came to his senses.
She sat up and looked around, and burst into tears when she saw the stillness of the lake.
"I'm going to die. I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die. ”
She waved her arms wildly, as if struggling to shake back the rushing water.
"Miss. It's all right, miss, don't be afraid. ”
The nurse tried to comfort him. But he didn't dare to grab her arm directly, so he could only say such simple words that had no practical effect.
But there was an extra person around him, and he was a relatively familiar person, which made Zhou Ru not so panicked in his heart.
After crying for a while, she calmed down a little, curled up and looked at the nursing home beside her, and suddenly fell into another panic in her heart.
"Yes...... You saved me? ”
The nurse hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, you have been rescued when the little one arrived." ”
He has been a messenger in the Zhou Mansion for nearly ten years, and he can still guess some of the thoughts of these high-ranking and noble families.
Even if he couldn't guess it, the look of disgust on Zhou Ru's face was enough for him to understand. Regardless of whether he was the one who rescued her or not, it couldn't be him when she finally mentioned it to anyone.
A lady who has not been out of the cabinet falls into the water in the wilderness and is rescued by a man, which is almost equivalent to having a skin-to-skin relationship with this person, and it may be ruined for a lifetime.
Of course, if this man is in a high position, it will be a different matter, and maybe he will be able to achieve a good story in the end.
But it's a pity. He is just a small nursery, and he can't afford to live a lifetime as a young lady.
Zhou Ru looked at the nursing home again, and saw that he was dry and neat, and he didn't look like he had ever been in the water. After making sure that he was not lying, he was relieved.
"Who saved me? Didn't you see it when you came? ”
The nurse shook his head: "When the little one came, I only saw you lying here, and I didn't see anyone else." ”
"Still." He pointed around, "There are three people's footprints around here besides you." One stopped at a distance and didn't get closer, and the other two appeared around you a little messy. So. These two should be the ones who saved you. ”
And looking at the footprints and footsteps, they should all be men.
Of course, the last sentence was not said. Even if you want to say it, you will go home and say it to the person who can be the director of the house, not to the delicate lady in front of you who has just almost lost her life and may collapse again at any time.
Two people?
Zhou Ru suddenly remembered that when he just woke up, he seemed to have seen two blurred figures, and one of them was still very close to him, as if he was checking whether he was okay.
She tried to remember the man's face, and a young man's face gradually appeared in front of her eyes, as if it was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
What to do?
If the person who rescued her was a child from a nearby farmer's family, and the news spread back, then what else would she do? Is it difficult to marry a farmer?
"Miss, you ...... Let's change into clean clothes first. ”
The nurse pointed to the clothes she had placed by the lake to change but had not been able to change into.
Although he didn't jump into the water to save her himself, it was not good if the two were seen staying together like this.
Only then did Zhou Ru realize that he was still wearing wet clothes, and only then did he feel that the cold wind was gusting and autumn was blowing.
She nodded in a shudder, and the nurse got up and retreated to the distance to help her guard.
She was still shivering when she came out after changing her clothes, although her body was clean, her hair was still wet, and she felt a headache when the autumn wind blew it.
"You, go and ...... the carriage"
Zhou Ru was about to say that he would let the nursing home clean up the carriage and rush over, when he saw his personal maid Qingdai crying and running over.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Qingdai hurriedly pulled Zhou Ru over to take a look.
Today she accompanied Miss out, if anything happens to Miss, she doesn't have to live!
Zhou Ru saw the stains on her body and avoided it in disgust.
"I'm fine!"
She said, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
If it weren't for the fact that this girl didn't let the coachman go back to catch the car, how could they have been so unlucky and startled to come here!
Worse than useless!
Qing Dai didn't know what she had done wrong, she only knew that as soon as she woke up, she saw a car full of filth, and her purse was ripped away, and outside the car was not where they originally were, but by Muqing Lake on the outskirts of the city!
She was startled, and thought that she and the young lady had been robbed. And the young lady was kidnapped and ran away, so she hurriedly jumped down to find someone. Fortunately, I saw the young lady from a distance not long after I ran out.
"Miss, you're fine. Otherwise, Qingdai won't be able to live. ”
She cried.
Zhou Ru only felt that nothing was smooth today, and she felt even more bored when she heard her crying at this moment.
"Why are you crying, why don't you clean up the car and take me home quickly!"
Qingdai hurriedly stopped her voice, nodded and walked towards the carriage.
Packing up the carriage, she didn't ask much about what had happened before, and how it had become so filthy in the carriage.
She knows that her young lady is actually very face-loving, and she must not want to mention this kind of thing, wishing that everyone didn't know.
"Miss, pack up. You get in the car. ”
She also changed her clothes herself before asking Zhou Ru to get in the car.
Zhou Ru frowned and walked to the front of the car, and saw that the car was indeed clean before he reluctantly boarded it.
Although the windows and curtains of the car have been opened to pass through the air, Qingdai also specially smoked the incense burner to get rid of the smell, but she always felt that there was a sour smell at the end of her nose, and she couldn't go away.
"Let's go."
She endured the discomfort in her heart and said to the nursing home outside.
In response, the nursing home drove towards the city.
Qing Dai untied Zhou Ru's bun to wipe her hair, but found that the hairpin on her head was missing, so she sighed and asked, "Miss." Are we really thieves? ”
Speaking of thieves, Zhou Ru thought of the girl wearing the hat, and suddenly became angry.
"Isn't it a thief!"
took her silver, took her hairpin, but saw death and did not save it! Better than a thief!
"Well, then he didn't hurt you, did he?"
Qing Dai hurriedly asked.
Hurt?
What is it to be hurt? She almost died!
Speaking of which, what the hell was it that hit your feet when you were at the lake? If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have fallen!
"Hey!"
She shouted to the outside of the car.
"Liu Qi."
Qingdai said to her: "This nursing home is called Liu Qi. ”
After speaking, he helped Zhou Ru shout.
"What's the matter, Miss?"
Liu Qi asked outside the car.
"What do you see by the lake other than footprints?"
Zhou Ru asked.
Liu Qi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No." Does Miss think there's something wrong? ”
There are too many things that are wrong today, and he has to report to the head of the family carefully when he goes back, so naturally he can't miss every detail.
Zhou Ru told him about being hit by something by the lake. The nursing home is even more sure that today's events were deliberately done from the beginning.
It's just that he didn't expect that the young lady didn't accidentally fall into the water, but was beaten down.
So did the other party want to kill the young lady from the beginning?
The nurse sighed in his heart. I don't know what happened to my young lady in the palace today, but she was targeted as soon as she left the palace. is also so ruthless to kill the killer.
The person who did it must have been the dumb woman with the hood in the mouth of the young lady, but the young lady obviously did not think so.
He also has no intention of wasting his tongue to explain anything to such an ignorant little girl now, some things are better to go back directly to the head of the house, let the head of the house explain to the young lady, and save him from accidentally saying something wrong.
Because it was not yet winter, there was no heating stove in the car, so naturally it was impossible to bake her hair, so Qingdai had to dry Zhou Ru's hair as much as possible, and then loosely tied her hair in a bun, so as not to catch a cold on her head.
After Zhou Ru finished talking to Liu Qi, he sat there like a puppet, thinking about what to do when he returned home later.
Qingdai thought she was frightened, and talked to her about something else, trying to distract her, but she didn't know if she listened or not.
It wasn't until she talked about the pregnancy of her aunt in the third master's mansion that Zhou Ru reacted and suddenly grabbed her.
"What do you say? Say it again! ”
Zhou Ru seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw, and her eyes flashed with essence.
"Slave maid...... The slave maid said that the third master specially invited several doctors to see it, and they all said that the aunt was pregnant with a boy, and the third master was so happy that the child was already planned to be raised under the name of the third wife before it was born. ”
The third master's wife and aunt have given birth to three children before are daughters, and the third master has not had a boy under his knees, which has always been a disease in his heart, and now I heard that my aunt is pregnant with a son, but I am not happy to be tight.
"No, no, it's the back, what are you talking about later?"
Behind?
Qing Dai thought for a while and said, "When this child is born, you will have another cousin, Miss." ”
"And later! Ranking, what do you say he ranks? ”
Qing Dai frowned, Miss, what's wrong? Can't even remember the prologue of the brothers and sisters in the house?
"Fourteen."
She said.
Right!
Fourteen!
Zhou Ru's face suddenly burst into a burst of brilliance.
She said that she thought that person was familiar, but wasn't it familiar!
As Princess Rong'an's companion, she has more or less met the nobles in the palace.
The person who rescued her by the lake just now was none other than His Highness the Fourteenth!
Your Highness the Fourteenth, that's the prince!
Although he is an unfavored prince, after all, he is also the descendant of His Majesty, the dignified heir of the emperor!
She will definitely not be able to be Princess Rong'an's companion now, and she will definitely be ridiculed by her sisters and rejected by her family when she returns home.
However, if she marries the prince, what ......
Ha......
Ha ha......
Zhou Ru laughed silently and high-fived in his heart to celebrate, it is really an endless road!
The carriage stopped at this moment, and not far away there was a rush of carriages and horses, mixed with the sounds of surprise and joy.
"Found it, found it!"
"There it is! Over there! ”
The people who came to look for Zhou Ru shouted.
Zhou Ru perked up, and suddenly burst out crying, and rushed out without waiting for Qingdai to react.
"Big brother, big brother!"
She cried and pounced on the incoming.
"The third sister almost drowned when she fell into the lake, but fortunately, His Highness the Fourteenth saved me......"
The nursing home behind him was heartbroken, and secretly said: It's not good!
