The two of them walked in hand in hand. Ye Fuxun in the cabin was still contemplating the chess game and did not notice this scene.
Just when she was returning the last chess piece to its place, Xiao Yu hurried in from outside: "Mother, someone fell into the water!"
Ye Fuxun stood up and followed her out: "Who fell into the water?"
Xiaoyu shook her head: "It seems that a girl fell into the water on a boat not far from us. The strangest thing is that the people on that boat didn't seem to intend to salvage the person at all, and just let the girl shout on the river.
Help."
"I heard that the Second Young Master has asked His Highness for instructions. Our boat is sailing in the direction where the girl fell into the water, and we are preparing to rescue her."
The two of them were talking and already walked to the deck.
When Ji Yannuo saw her coming out, he stood up and walked to her side to hold her: "It's very windy on the deck."
"My concubine is not cold," Ye Fuxun curled his lips and smiled, "Your Highness, I heard that someone fell into the water."
Ji Yannuo didn't seem to care about this matter. He just reached out and brushed Ye Fuxun's messy hair: "Has the chess game been reviewed?"
"Okay." Ye Fuxun responded casually, holding Ji Yannuo's sleeve and walking to the edge of the deck, "Shall we go take a look?"
Ji Yannuo sighed and let her pull him over: "Someone will save him."
The two of them approached each other, and the onlookers naturally made way for them.
The girl who fell into the water had been fished out. Xiao Yu took a robe and put it on the girl's upper body. She then bent her knees and thanked Yu Yu: "My little girl's surname is Guan. Thank you so much for saving me."
Yu Yu turned sideways and said: "It's just a little effort. Xiaoyu, please take the girl in charge to change into clean clothes first."
Xiaoyu helped Guannu go into the cabin.
Ye Fuxun let go of Ji Yannuo's sleeves and whispered: "Your Highness, I'm going to take a look."
"I will accompany you there."
Ji Yannuo picked her up and walked slowly into the cabin.
When he reached the door, Ye Fuxun stretched out his hand to stop him: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to go in."
"I'm waiting here. If you need anything, call me." Ji Yannuo pinched the tip of her nose.
This woman.
If he wasn't afraid that the man who fell into the water would have evil intentions, why would he follow him?
Ye Fuxun instantly understood what Ji Yannuo meant, and she wrinkled her nose: "Maybe she is just a poor girl who fell into the water."
Immediately she raised her lips and smiled sweetly, "However, I have deeply understood His Highness's feelings. Thank you for Your Highness's care for me."
She stood on tiptoes and kissed the corner of Ji Yannuo's mouth, "This is a thank you gift!"
Then he turned around and pushed the door open and entered the inner room.
Ji Yannuo stood outside the door, his dark eyes filled with smiles.
Inside the room, Miss Guan had just put on clean clothes. When she saw Ye Fuxun coming in, she said gratefully: "Little girl Guan Qian, thank you Madam."
Guan...Qian?
Ye Fuxun opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Isn't this his brother's future wife?
It is mentioned in the book that his brother Yu Yu loved traveling all over the country to do business and never married or had children until he met Guan Qian in his late thirties.
Guan Qian was two years younger than Yu, and was the young master of Guan's family.
When the two met, it could be said that they didn’t know each other without fighting.
Two cloth merchants competed for orders, and the fight between the two was so exciting that it almost became the best-selling story in the tea house.
Just when the people were wondering whether Yu Que Bu Xing would win by one point or Guan Shi Bu Xing would win by three points, explosive news came out that Yu Yu was going to marry Guan Qian, causing the most popular story in the tea house to be changed immediately.
version.
Later, it was discovered that Guan Qian was actually a widow, and the affair between the two was discussed in the capital for a full year before it gradually came to an end.
Guan Qian's status is far from enough to match that of Yu Yu, the richest man in the Yan Kingdom, not to mention that Yu Yu is actually the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and he also holds an official position in the imperial court.
If Yu Yu hadn't always been careful and almost never discovered his dual identity, this marriage might not have been possible.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that my brother had a crush on Guan Qian a long time ago?
Moreover, is it the life-saving grace that the ancients valued most?
Ye Fuxun looked at Guan Qian curiously.
At first glance, Guan Qian looked gentle and watery, but if you look closely, you can taste a somewhat determined expression from the corners of her eyebrows, eyes and forehead.
This somewhat hidden fierceness actually added an unforgettable feature to her supple face.
"Why did Miss Guan accidentally fall into the water?" Ye Fuxun saw that Guan Qian was blushing at her sight, so he spoke to break the silence in the room.
Guan Qian smiled bitterly: "To be honest, the little girl was standing on the deck just now when she was suddenly pushed and fell into the water."
"But on that boat just now, weren't there two servants standing behind the stewardess to serve you?" Xiao Yu said quickly.
Guan Qian looked embarrassed, and she lowered her eyes: "Actually, that's not a maid serving me. In fact, she's just a nun who supervised me all the way back to Jicheng."
"But after all, he is a servant, how can he have such thoughts of harming his master?"
Ye Fuxun was puzzled.
After Guan Qian fell into the water, the two servant women were completely indifferent and had no intention of saving Guan Qian.
Is this his own servant?
According to the hierarchy of the Yan State, the hierarchy of masters and servants is strict. Only the master can deal with the servants. Who has ever heard of a servant bullying his master?
"It's no wonder Madam doesn't believe it," Guan Qian said tactfully, "This has something to do with the little girl's life experience."
"The little girl was originally the legitimate daughter of the second wife of the Jicheng Guanfu." Guan Qian said softly, "After my mother passed away five years ago, my father married his step-in-law."
"One time, my grandmother was ill and had not recovered from the lingering relationship for the past few months." Guan Qian twitched her lips. "My stepmother invited a Taoist priest to do the ritual. She said it was because the little girl had restrained her relatives, so the family sent the little girl to a village in the countryside.
."
Xiaoyu listened with rapt attention and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Guan, if you go back to Jicheng now, your family will come to pick you up?"
"Exactly." Guan Qian nodded, "Those two servants are the housekeepers around my stepmother."
"They were ordered to go to Zhuangzi to look for me. They said that my parents missed me and specially sent them to take me back to Jicheng." Guan Qian closed her eyes, "However, since I went to Zhuangzi, the government has not sent me back to Jicheng for many years.
I can’t believe the news.”
She looked at Ye Fuxun again: "The little girl was doubtful. One night she secretly overheard the two drunken servants revealing the truth."
"The real reason is that the stepmother's younger sister is betrothed to someone who is seriously ill, and she requires her to come over as soon as possible to celebrate the wedding."
"My sister is deeply loved by my grandmother and father, so naturally they are reluctant to push my sister into the fire pit. My stepmother mentioned that the little girl lives in the village, so..."
"This is really unreasonable." Xiao Yu's eyes turned red when she heard this, "Miss Guan, you are so pitiful."
How could there be such a cruel grandmother and father!
