Chapter 168: Breaking the Bridge and Escaping
It was not yet time for performances and banquets, but the maids of the eldest princess's mansion had already begun to send all kinds of fruits and pastries to the back garden for the guests to taste, and Su Mianmian had a very good impression of Shen Yanshu.
"I've been in poor health since I was a child, and I invite my master to the house on weekdays, and I haven't learned to shoot at home, so I especially envy other ladies of the family who can study in Zhaodetang and meet many friends. Su Mianmian said.
Shen Yanshu said: "Even if you are not in Zhaode Hall, you can meet other friends, just move around more on weekdays." β
Su Mianmian shook her head and said, "Many young ladies of the family don't like me very much to play with this sick seedling. β
Her tone was very usual, but Shen Yanshu knew that Su Mianmian did not have no friends, but many friends approached her for a purpose, and Su Taishi was valued by the emperor, and if he could befriend him, it would be very beneficial.
A few years ago, a corruption case involved an official at the time, and the official's daughter was friendly with Su Mianmian, so the man begged Su Mianmian to save her father, Su Mianmian felt that the man's father was really guilty, and did not agree, and the man died in front of her, leaving her with a shadow.
Since then, Su Mianmian has rarely had a heart-to-heart with people.
The two of them were talking, and a maid stepped forward and said, "Miss Shen San, your sister Miss Shen Wu accidentally fell into the water in the backyard and injured her foot again, go over and take a look, you can't find Mrs. Shen!"
Su Mianmian was stunned for a moment, heard that someone had fallen into the water, and hurriedly said, "How can this be?
The maid said: "I have been rescued by the family, but I fainted, so I am in a hurry to find her family." β
Su Mianmian and the maid both looked at Shen Yanshu.
Shen Yanshu glanced at the anxious appearance of the maid, which didn't seem to be fake, frowned slightly, Shen Yuyan's legs and feet were inconvenient, and it was normal if she fell into the water, she said, "Lead the way." β
The maid glanced at the green kite and said, "Can you go and find Mrs. Shen?"
Qing Kite hurriedly said: "No, I have to be with our young lady, and I can't leave half a step." β
The maid was embarrassed and said, "But none of us know Mrs. Shen......"
Su Mianmian said to Qing Kite: "I'll accompany Sister Yan Shu over, you go and find Mrs. Shen to come over." β
With Su Mianmian's words, Shen Yanshu was not afraid that they would frame him, so he said to Qing Kite: "You go, it's okay to have Mianmian with me." β
Qing Kite frowned, before she left the Shen Mansion, she had promised Sister Xiyan that she would not leave Miss for half a step, but now, ...... Forget it, since it was Miss's order, and Miss Su was by her side, nothing should happen.
She said, "I'll go to the eldest lady and the third lady!"
As he spoke, he trotted in the direction of the hall.
Shen Yanshu and Su Mianmian, under the leadership of the maid, walked in the other direction of the back garden, passing through the winding path, which seemed to be getting more and more remote.
Shen Yanshu stopped, then reached out and grabbed Su Mianmian's wrist.
"Where are you taking us?" asked Shen Yanshu with slightly narrowed eyes.
Su Mianmian was at a loss, she was suddenly pulled by Shen Yanshu and looked at them a little strangely.
The maid pointed to the lake not far away and said, "It's on the bridge of the lake not far away." β
Following the direction of the maid, Shen Yanshu looked over, and sure enough, he saw a small lakeside, and there was a small winding bridge on the lakeside, which stretched zigzag into the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, and there seemed to be a few people on the pavilion.
Su Mianmian said: "I seem to have seen them!"
As he spoke, he took Shen Yanshu's hand and walked forward.
Before Shen Yanshu could say anything, he was already pulled forward by Su Mianmian.
The two of them walked along the folding bridge, and when they were about to walk to the pavilion in the lake, Su Mianmian stopped instantly, and looked at the people in the pavilion in surprise, not Shen Yuyan and them, but a few guards.
"You ...... Didn't you say that Miss Shen Wu was here?" asked Su Mianmian in surprise, not knowing what was going on at all.
Shen Yanshu turned her head to look at the maid, but the maid was obviously very puzzled, noticing Shen Yanshu's gaze, she bit her lip and said, "I don't know anything, it's just that the county lord asked me to bring you over." β
As she spoke, a few more people came from behind her,
"What do you want to do?"
Su Mianmian's maid stepped forward and scolded angrily, after all, Su Taishi is rarely provoked in the court.
An old woman who took the lead sneered and said, "Throw her into the lake for me!"
As soon as she gave her order, Su Mianmian's maid was directly slashed by a guard and pushed into the lake, only to hear a "poof-" sound, the maid argued desperately in the water, Shen Yanshu and Su Mianmian just wanted to step forward, but they were blocked by the guard's knife.
"Xun'er!" Su Mianmian's eyes widened in surprise, and she hurriedly shouted, "Presumptuous, you dare to touch my people!"
"Missβ"
The maid did not know the nature of the water, and she had injuries on her body, so she could only slowly be submerged in the lake, and the surface of the lake was red and bloody, and it looked very terrifying, and gradually melted away.
The old lady said: "Miss Su, not only the people who moved you, but even you can't get out of the backyard of our princess's mansion." β
"You dare! My grandfather won't let you go!" Su Mianmian said angrily.
She believes that if something happens to her, even the eldest princess grandfather will never back down, and she must find justice from the emperor.
The old lady smiled and said, "Master Su can't find our head if he wants to make trouble, after all, it was Miss Shen San who pushed you into the lake." β
Shen Yanshu's eyes sank, it turned out that they had such an idea!
I want to kill Su Mianmian and then blame her!
Even if Shen Kangzhi won the emperor's sacred heart again, Taishi Su would not let him go.
This is really a good chess game! Shen Yanshu snorted coldly, but it was a pity that they underestimated her strength.
Shen Yanshu held Su Mianmian's wrist tightly and pulled her down to his side.
The old lady made a look at the guards to come forward, but they were just two weak women, and no matter how much they struggled, it would be useless.
The guards stepped forward directly, and were about to catch Su Mianmian, but they were kicked into the lake by Shen Yanshu.
Seeing that their companions were kicked into the lake, the other guards swung their knives and slashed towards Su Mianmian, as long as they killed Su Mianmian and blamed Shen Yanshu, their task would be completed.
Su Mianmian's eyes widened, her eyes crossed a sword light, seeing that the sword was about to cut herself, she only felt that her legs were weak, and she couldn't even move at all, but before the sword fell, she felt the pull on her wrist, and she was directly protected by Shen Yanshu.
Shen Yanshu raised his foot and kicked the sword in the guard's hand directly into the air, then kicked him horizontally in the abdomen, kicked directly into the lake, reached out to catch the sword falling in the air, turned his head, and stared straight at the rest of the people with his fierce gaze.
didn't expect Shen Yanshu to be able to do martial arts, and everyone was stunned.
"Kill them for me!"
The old lady suddenly ordered, Su Mianmian knew the truth, naturally she couldn't let her continue to live, and Shen Yanshu knew martial arts, so naturally he wouldn't compromise easily, for the sake of now, that is, to kill them, the big deal is to say that the assassins are coming.
All the guards rushed towards the two of them, and Shen Yanshu held a sword in one hand and Su Mianmian in the other, fighting with the guards of the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Originally, there were only seven or eight guards, but now there were only three or four left after being beaten by Shen Yanshu, the old woman's face sank, and she was about to look back in the direction of the shore and walk away, but she didn't know whether to call more people or come up with some ideas.
Shen Yanshu's eyes darkened, and with a flick of the sword in his hand, he threw it directly at the old woman's back, only to hear a scream, the sword was directly inserted into her back, and she fell to the ground, although she couldn't move, but it was not fatal.
Without a weapon in his hand, Shen Yanshu said to Su Mianmian: "Hold me tight." β
Before Su Mianmian could react to what Shen Yanshu meant, she only felt that her waist was tight, and Shen Yanshu had already taken her directly to step on the guardrail of the folding bridge and jump into the air towards the shore, she exclaimed, Shen Yanshu, who was hurriedly grasping, was afraid that she would fall, but when she turned her head, she saw Shen Yanshu's indifferent gaze, as if everything was confident, which made Su Mianmian calm down.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yanshu took her very neatly and flew directly to the shore, leaving the remaining guards on the folding bridge not far away.
Shen Yanshu heard footsteps coming from the courtyard at the turn, and there were quite a few people coming in the direction of them.
Did you let people come over to watch a good show so soon? Shen Yanshu's eyes were dark, Pingle was really willing to take risks, even the people from the Taishi Mansion dared to move, it seemed that he was really arrogant on weekdays.
"Sister Yan'er has bad legs and feet, how could she come to such a place?" Wei's voice came from the other side of the wall.
Shen Yanshu and Su Mianmian heard the voice, and immediately saw the eldest princess walking out of the arch with a number of ladies, and saw the two of them head-on.
The eldest princess saw Shen Yanshu and Su Mianmian standing in front of her in a dignified manner, frowning slightly, as if she was very surprised.
When Song Shi saw that there was Shen Yuyan's shadow here, he asked, "Sister Shu, didn't you say that Sister Yan fell into the water?
Shen Yanshu let go of Su Mianmian's wrist, sneered, looked at Pingle and said, "I have to ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." β
Everyone was puzzled, Mrs. Su looked at Su Mianmian's face behind her, her lips were a little white, and she stepped forward and asked, "Mianmian, what's wrong with you?"
Su Mianmian came back to her senses, looked at Mrs. Su with some surprise, and suddenly fell into Mrs. Su's arms and cried.
"Mother, Mianmian almost died just now......"
Mrs. Su frowned: "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Su Mianmian hurriedly said: "I didn't talk nonsense, the guards of the eldest princess's mansion said that they would kill me, so that they could blame Sister Yanshu, Xun'er was killed by them......"
Su Mianmian's frightened voice seemed to be frightened, and all the ladies were shocked and shocked when they heard her words.
"Ah, dead man!"
One of the ladies suddenly saw the corpse floating on the surface of the lake, began to scream, rolled her eyes, and fainted directly!
