Chapter 502: Coward

The east courtyard of the back house of the Di Mansion is full of female dependents.

They are all family members of Di Qing's old friends in the army, and they often see each other, and they are very familiar, the lady and the girl sit in one place and talk, and the children play all over the garden.

Wei called his seven-year-old grandson and asked him to lead the three little ones to play.

Xin Yi whispered, "Pay attention to safety, don't be naughty."

Wei laughed, "Children have their own ways to play, so don't worry."

Xin Yi smiled slightly, and in private, he still didn't feel at ease to let Xingyuan follow him over and look at the child.

Cao Yi's wife, Lu Shi, was also present.

Seeing Xin Yi, she took the lead in coming over to congratulate.

"It's been a few months, and your body seems to have sunk a lot?"

Xin Yi smiled softly, "It's more than three months. I think I'm getting a little fatter."

Lu Shi snorted, "You are hiding it so tightly, if I had known that your body was heavy, I wouldn't have dared to teach you to bother me like that at that time."

"What did Madame say?" Xin Yi smiled politely, afraid that the Lu family would be too distracted, and added: "Actually, I am also a foolish person, and I don't know that I have a body, but I was diagnosed by Mr. Zhou a few days ago."

"Really? Fortunately, nothing bad happened, otherwise the king of Guangling County would have been sad."

Lu Shi is a little incredible, in her opinion, Xin Yi, this doctor is very powerful, how could she not even know that she is pregnant?

Of course, she didn't express her suspicions, she just glanced at Xin Yi's lower abdomen with a smile, and said with envy: "This is probably called intentionally planting flowers and flowers without living, and unintentionally planting willows and willows, you see that you accidentally got pregnant, and I have no news in every possible way......

"There will be." Xin Yi patted her hand and comforted, "You must relax and find something else to pass the time, don't think about it all day long, take care of your body, and then just follow your fate."

"Hmm." Lu Shi nodded, "When are you going to Yangzhou, has the date been set?"

The two didn't know each other that well before, but it can be said that Fu Jiuqu and Cao Yi are relatives and brothers, so they should be familiar with each other.

Xin Yi didn't want to talk, so he had to bite the bullet and go down.

"I want to go down to Yangzhou in March, but the court can't wait. Yangzhou also has official business waiting to be handed over, and the county king will probably leave Beijing and go south after the Shangyuan Festival......

Lu Shi was surprised, "Aren't you traveling together?"

Xin Yi said: "My mother-in-law takes pity on my physical inconvenience, I am afraid of the fatigue of the journey, and I want to wait for me to be older in the month, or go to the ...... after giving birth."

Lu nodded, "That's exactly how it should be."

The two of them were talking with each other, and the ladies over there were admiring their own costumes, saying which family's materials and which tailor's clothes were beautiful, and which family's daughters had exquisite embroidery, which was very interesting.

At this moment, the curtain opened.

A girl walked over and said something to Wei, Wei's face changed, and then she stood up.

"Eleventh ......"

Xin Yi turned his head and saw that her expression was wrong, and he immediately realized something.

"What's wrong with Mother? Is it a child......

Before she could finish speaking, a cool breeze burst out of the curtain.

"Mother!" Sannian was as fast as a shadow, rushing towards Xin Yi.

Her clothes were half-wet, her little face was pale, and she was visibly panicked, but she still remembered that her mother's stomach could not be touched, so she stopped three steps away, gasped:

"Second brother, second brother jumped into the pond."

The room was silent.

By the time the ladies reacted, Xin Yi had already rushed out.

··

The pond is used to raise fish after Di Qing expanded and then dug deep on the original basis, the area is far larger than the viewing pond of ordinary people's homes, there is thick silt at the bottom of the pond, half of the clear water is used to raise fish, and half is used to plant lotus roots.

In the winter wind, the lotus flowers raised last year have long since withered, and the leaves and stems are messily hanging on the water, filling with a bleak coldness.

The pond is deep, the weather is cold, and you can imagine what will happen to the children when they fall

What are the results?

When Xin Yi ran over, the pond was already full of people.

Yi Nian sat on the pebbles by the pond in a daze, his clothes were half wet and covered with mud like San Nian, and when he saw her coming, he lowered his head in shame and bit his lips white.

Several guards took off their shoes and socks and were salvaging underwater.

Fu Jiuqu looked at it with a cold face and said nothing.

Xingyuan was standing beside him, talking about something, and suddenly turned his head to see Xin Yi, and his mouth pursed and he almost cried.

"The princess of the county, it's the incompetence of the servant, and she didn't look at the second son."

It was not the time for accountability, Xin Yi approached with a cold face, didn't say anything, just bent down and helped Yi Nian who was sitting on the ground up, and then looked at the people salvaged underwater.

"Where did the second son jump from?"

Xingyuan pointed to a fishing platform on the left.

There are several stone piers on it, and there are Ernian's clothes and shoes on the stone piers.

Apparently he jumped on his own, and no one pushed him......

"Mother." Sannian leaned lightly beside her and whispered, "They humiliated the eldest brother, saying that the eldest brother was a weak child, weak and weak, and he didn't have the strength to catch chickens...... The second brother is not convinced, so he will compete with them."

Xin Yi said, "And then?"

Sannian looked at Yinian and lowered his head.

"They said they would jump into the water from the Diaoyutai together, and then dive to the opposite shore to see who could swim the fastest, but the second brother jumped alone, and they didn't jump, and they laughed on the shore, saying that the second brother was stupid......

In the end, Sannian clenched his little fists, and his eyes were red.

"Mother, I also want to learn martial arts with Uncle Fu. I'm going to defeat them."

Xin Yi touched Sannian's cold little hand and called Xingyuan.

"You take the eldest prince and the third girl back to the room first, take a hot bath, find clean clothes to change, and then cook a pot of ginger soup for preparation......

"Yes." Xingyuan's lips were slightly pursed, and she spoke with a crying tone.

Sannian obediently let Xingyuan hold his hand, but turned back to plead with Xingyuan before leaving.

"Mother, it's not about Aunt Xingyuan, it's the second brother who broke her up and asked her to go to the carriage to get a horn bow......

"I know." Xin Yi touched her head and motioned for Xingyuan to leave quickly.

At this time, there was a sudden "whoosh" from behind, followed by an explosive exclamation.

Xin Yi looked sideways, and his eyes almost fell off in shock.

A small figure suddenly appeared on the opposite bank of the pond, waving its little arms, paddling desperately in the water, and swam to the shore with all the shouts of the crowd, clinging to the stones of the pool wall with both hands, panting and turning back, shouting in a trembling voice.

"You're all cowards!"

"Coward, I look down on you!"

Then, the child's hands softened, and his body slowly sank into the pond.

"Quick! Help!" The crowd was in an uproar.

In the exclamation of everyone, Fu Jiuqu had already rushed over like an arrow, jumped straight down from the place where Ernian sank, and quickly lifted the child from the pond.

Sigh!

The crowd by the pond breathed a sigh of relief.
