Zhong Xi was originally a joke, but he didn't want Du Jinyao to stroke his palm and say: "I was really told by Miss Zhong, and it was really the prince of Ningguo who came." ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding ladies suddenly exploded, and those young ladies who left Yishu Courtyard in advance all regretted it, only hating why they wanted to come to visit the lake in advance, and they missed the opportunity to see the true face of the prince of Ningguo!

It's just that the prince of Ning Guo has always been indifferent, and he is most tired of this kind of social interaction between families, he has never heard of him going to congratulate anyone on his birthday before, and he has visited the door, how can he come to the mansion of Yin, Jingzhao Mansion, today, to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Qiao?

Although everyone had doubts, but later ladies have confirmed it, obviously although this thing sounds incredible, but it is an ironclad fact.

Speaking of which, this prince of Ningguo came to congratulate Mrs. Qiao on her birthday, which is really a rare thing! It's just that when Yi'er saw Du Jinyao talking about this prince, her face was shy, her cheeks were shining, and she didn't feel that her heart moved, and she dared to love her four sisters who were also moved by that prince!

Yi'er couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Du Jinyao really dared to think about what kind of family lintel the Ningguo Mansion was, although their Qingxiang Marquis Mansion was also a first-class prince, but it only relied on the blessing of the ancestors, and to this day, where is there still the scenery of the past? In the capital, even the first-class noble circle can't squeeze in, she still wants to marry a family like Ningguo Mansion that is in the center of the nobles, Yi'er really doesn't know if she has a dream or is it just wishful thinking?

The painting boat lifted the anchor and rowed towards the middle of the lake, Yi'er raised his eyes and looked at it casually, and saw that Jiang Mingyu's master and servant did not get on the boat, but stayed on the shore and were pulling Yingu to talk.

Yi'er was stunned, knowing that Shuang'er probably told Jiang Mingyu about her, and Jiang Mingyu was pulling Yingu to verify it. Yi'er is a little helpless, to this day, is she the little girl back then, what else does it matter? Although she hated the people of the Jiang family, and even had some resentment, so far, she didn't want to take revenge.

As for Yingu, Yi'er is not worried, this girl is pure and kind-hearted, but she is definitely not stupid, Jiang Mingyu wants to ask something from her, but she is afraid that she will be disappointed.

The scenery of Qiaofu South Lake is indeed beautiful, especially the place near the island in the middle of the lake, it is really worthy of being one of the ten scenic spots in the capital, it is as beautiful as the landscape in the picture, which is intoxicating.

Yi'er is rare to see such a beautiful scenery, I wanted to appreciate it carefully, but I didn't expect the sudden change to happen so suddenly.

At that time, Mama Xiong was explaining the water source of this South Lake, "...... This lake seems to be calm without waves, but in fact it is living water, when the lake was dug at the beginning, a culvert was opened, which was led from the Chuyun River to a branch, and then led out of the city through the dark river, here is already the center of the lake, the water is deep, and the underwater undercurrent is not small. The ladies looked over there, it was the mouth of the dark river, and from there the water was drawn out of the city. ”

Everyone followed her fingers, and sure enough, they saw a small bay on the side of the island in the middle of the lake, and they couldn't help but be amazed, this lake leads to the living water of the Chuyun River, so how much manpower and material resources should have been spent to do it? This Qiao Mansion was so rich back then that it really deserved the honor of being the richest man in the capital!

Yi'er and a few people were sitting on the chairs and looking out, and suddenly, the hull of the boat trembled, and a few people were shocked to see that Du Yinyin, who was leaning on the side of the boat, was not holding it, and the person suddenly slipped over the fence and planted it towards the side of the boat. Yi'er was the closest, got up and rushed up to pull people, Yun Yao reacted when she saw this, and hurriedly shouted: 'Come on! Come on! And here, the moment Yi'er grabbed the person, he only felt that he was hit by someone on his back, and he suddenly lost his balance, turned over the side of the boat, and fell into the lake.

As soon as the person entered the water, the screaming and crying sound of the boat suddenly couldn't hear anything, Yi'er was shocked, and drank a few mouthfuls of lake water, which made her throat hurt, she forced herself to sink down, stepped on the water with her hands and feet, and wanted to float on the water, but she didn't expect that as Mama Xiong said at the beginning, because this lake is living water, the water surface looks calm, but the undercurrent under the water is turbulent, the water is turbulent, and she is swept down by this undercurrent.

And Du Yinyin was pulled by Yi'er before falling into the water, fell on the side of the boat, and did not fall into the lake, but she was young and obviously frightened, and the other people on the boat were also completely stunned by this sudden change, Yun Yao opened her mouth wide and screamed for people to go into the water to save people, but Zhong Xi directly snatched the bamboo pulp of a boat servant and stretched it into the lake to fish, while on the other side, Du Qinwen and Du Qinya's sisters were so frightened that they cried, Du Jinyao on the side frowned, her face was cloudy, and she didn't know what to think again. When it came to Mama Xiong, she immediately made a decision, and jumped directly into the lake with a few servants with good water characteristics to save people.

Although it is May, the weather in the capital is still cold, Yi'er went out today, wearing an embroidered thin jacket, now soaked in water, a ball of stains on the body, both uncomfortable and affect her movements, she gritted her teeth, almost used all her strength to take off the thin jacket under the water, and then tread water along the undercurrent to rise up.

Yi'er knows how to water, although she doesn't dare to say how good the water is, but it is more than enough to save herself in the water, but the underwater undercurrent is too fast, and when she treads water along the undercurrent, she is far away from the painting boat, but not far from the island in the middle of the lake.

Yi'er saw that the place where she was now was close to the island in the middle of the lake, and the water level was shallow, thinking that the draft of the boat was too deep, and she couldn't get here, and she wanted to be rescued from the boat again, but she was afraid that it was impossible, so she gritted her teeth and swam to the island in the middle of the lake.

Although it seems to be close to the island in the middle of the lake, but in fact it is more than ten feet away, and the water is cold, Yi'er was so cold that her teeth trembled one after another, and her body couldn't stop shaking, but she knew that the only chance at the moment was to swim ashore hard, so she cheered up and swam desperately towards the shore.

It may be that she has been pampered in the past few years, and her physical endurance is not as good as before, but she feels that her hands and feet are getting heavier and heavier, and her swimming speed is getting slower and slower, but the shore is still out of reach, just when she was almost desperate, she suddenly heard someone on the shore shouting: "Miss, don't panic, I'll save you." ”

Yi'er was overjoyed, looked up, and saw a brocade-robed boy rushing towards the shore, taking off his clothes, jumping into the water with a plop, and swimming towards this side.

When Yi'er saw someone coming, her heart was relieved, and her body was about to sink, so she hurriedly kicked her feet of water hard, and then she floated up again. She saw the man swim closer and closer, and suddenly she remembered something.

This is the backyard of Qiao's Mansion, and the island in the middle of the lake is the center of the backyard, this person is richly dressed, obviously he will not be a descendant of Qiao's mansion, and Qiao's house is thin, and there is no such a big man, so how could this person appear on the island in the middle of the lake so coincidentally? Today, Mrs. Qiao celebrates her birthday, and it is not surprising that there is a young master in Beppu in the house, but it is quite strange to appear alone in a place like Lake Island!

Logically speaking, even if someone wants to swim to the island in the middle of the lake, either a few sons bring their servants to accompany them, or they are led by the subordinates of Qiao's Mansion, how can there be a reason that they don't even bring a single servant, and a person sneakily touches it?

Thinking of this, Yi'er was shocked into a cold sweat even if she was in the water, she wanted to fall into the water by herself, her clothes were wet, and her face was untidy, if she was saved by this man like this, then where would she have any innocence? When the time comes, I'm afraid that no matter what the identity of this man is, if there is a marriage match, where else does she have any choice but to follow him? And in line with the principle of rushing to marry a concubine's wife, in her situation, I am afraid that it is also an extravagant hope to want the status of a wife!

Until now, Yi'er still doesn't understand that since she got on the painting boat, this is a game carefully designed by someone, and then thinking of the ruthless hit on her back that made her fall into the water on the painting boat, it should have been deliberately done by someone. The person behind this curtain may not want her life, but just want to ruin her innocence, but in this world, what does it mean for a woman to lose her innocence, it is definitely a hundred times more painful than death!

Yi'er's heart was cold, she had only been back in the capital for a few days, how could someone be so malicious as to harm her?

Of course, Yi'er can't think about it much at the moment, she glanced at the man who was about to swim again, because it was close, the person's appearance could be seen clearly, she silently wrote down the person's appearance in her heart, and then turned around decisively and swam in the opposite direction.

The man obviously didn't expect Yi'er to make such a move, and in a daze, he immediately shouted in the back, but Yi'er turned a deaf ear and only swam towards the painting boat in the middle of the lake.

Yi'er is already exhausted, where can she swim back this time? She just held her breath, stubbornly thinking that even if she died, she couldn't fall into the calculations of these thieves, forcing this breath in her heart, she was surprised to find that this time she had persevered for a long time, swam far away, and even got very close to the painting boat parked in the middle of the lake, and even the people on the painting boat could see it clearly.

Soon, someone found her on the painting boat, Yi'er heard Yun Yao's screams, and shouted loudly with a crying voice to let people go over to save her, but she was really too tired, her body and limbs had no sense of sensation, as if she was not a part of her body, she raised her head and gathered her last strength to look at the painting boat, and the eyes were faces with different expressions, some nervous, some sad, some weeping, and some frightened......

Then Yi'er sank, kept sinking, kept sinking, Yi'er was already confused, and couldn't tell how long it had been sinking, the feeling of being washed down the Tiger Leaping Gorge seemed to appear on her body again, she felt so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable, and then miraculously, she would clearly feel the undercurrent underwater, with her body as if rushing into a huge whirlpool, the water was suddenly terrifyingly fast, she knew that this was the dark estuary that Mama Xiong said, she closed her eyes and stopped any struggle, Consciousness began to blur.

But the moment her consciousness completely dissipated, she seemed to feel someone rushing towards her, and then she was taken into her arms.

This is definitely a stranger's embrace, but for some reason, Yi'er has a very familiar feeling, even if it is in the middle of the lake, it makes her feel strange and comfortable.

When Yi'er's consciousness was awake again, her body was already tumbling and falling in the water at an unimaginable speed and curve, accompanied by the sound of water and impact that almost deafened her, she opened her eyes and found that she was really being held in her arms, and she was still in the water, but it should be a very steep slope, and the water was flowing down from above, the speed was amazing, and it also rolled down with the bodies of the two of them at a very fast speed.

On the slope, there are reefs and rocks everywhere, and when the two of them roll downward, they will inevitably bump and rub on it, but Yi'er was surprised to find that even in the high-speed movement, her body was almost never bumped, this person firmly encircled her in his arms, and protected her in the middle like a protective layer of his tall body, and endured almost all the bump damage for her.

The sound of the surging collision was like a hammer hitting Yi'er's heart, she could clearly perceive every impact, the body holding her trembled violently, for a moment, Yi'er wanted to cry, although she couldn't see this person's face, but she saw his chin, she recognized him, it was Jiang You, her heart was trembling, she didn't expect him to protect her to such an extent, she never even thought that one day someone would protect her more than his own life!
