After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 259: Wedding Robbery

Qin Jingshu and her cousin were originally following Shen Ling and Niu Niu from a distance.

But before they even entered the pavilion, they saw a commotion going on inside.

My cousin was so excited that she wanted to rush in to watch the fun, but she was held back by Qin Jingshu, who was younger and more mature.

"Jingshu, why are you pulling me aside? It's such a wonderful scene. If you're late, you won't be able to see it!" My cousin was very anxious.

Qin Jingshu shook her head vigorously and said, "Cousin, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. It is better not to interfere casually."

Qin Jingshu saw clearly that the most conspicuous person among the people making a fuss in the water pavilion was Princess Rongjia.

Princess Rongjia is the granddaughter of the old King Qi. She appears to be dignified on the surface, but is actually extremely domineering and should not be easily provoked.

At home, even if Qin Jingshu did nothing wrong, her mother would still stare at her and find fault with her. If she got involved now, as long as her name appeared in it, she would definitely be questioned repeatedly by her mother.

My cousin sighed and said, "What a pity."

The cousin was originally laughing in her heart at Qin Jingshu, the daughter of a noble family, for being too timid, but not long after, she was dumbfounded.

Who could have thought that Princess Rongjia, who was originally arguing with outsiders, ended up fighting with her own people, and even went so far as to want to throw someone into the lotus pond.

"It's a good thing we didn't go. If we had been involved, who knows if this reckless guy would attack us?" said my cousin, patting her chest.

At this moment, two girls fell into the water in the pavilion, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

Shen Ling immediately asked the maids and servants nearby: "Who can swim? Go down and save them! I will reward you handsomely!"

But there were not many maids and servants who were good at swimming, and no one stood up at this time.

On the bank of the lotus pond not far from the water pavilion, there was a group of young men who recited poems and admired the lotus pond.

They saw two girls fall into the water at the pavilion, but without knowing who fell into the water, no young man went down to rescue them.

"Oh no, oh no! Princess Rongjia fell into the water!"

One of Rongjia County Master's followers inside the water pavilion suddenly shouted loudly.

After the young men on the shore heard clearly who fell into the water, some of them immediately became active.

They didn't know what kind of person Princess Rongjia was, but her younger brother was praised by the emperor not long ago and was also a popular candidate for the crown prince.

"It is our duty to act bravely and do what is right!"

A young man jumped down.

"I am familiar with water. How can I ignore it if I encounter it?"

Another young man jumped down.

Four young men jumped in front and behind, and there were only two girls falling into the water. Everyone in the pavilion watched helplessly as several young men in the lotus pond fought openly and secretly, and finally two winners emerged.

When Princess Rongjia and Ji Huiyi were rescued to the shore, they were held in the arms of a young man. Their clothes were tightly attached to their bodies, allowing people to clearly see the girls' beautiful figures.

There were two young men, one was a stranger, but the other was familiar to everyone.

Qin Er.

Qin Er's face was suddenly covered with red rashes, and the marks can still be seen now. He used to be considered a handsome young man, but now he looks like a toad because of the rash marks on his face.

"Quick, call a doctor to save the county princess! Is there any clean clothes? The county princess is trembling!" The young man holding Ji Huiyi shouted loudly.

But the way people looked at him was strange.

"Someone, help Miss Ji and the county lady to go to the yard over there to change clothes first." Shen Ling ordered casually.

The young man then realized that he had saved the wrong person. His heart sank immediately, and he pulled the maid beside him to ask, "Whose family is Miss Ji? It seems that he can't remember any noble family in the capital with the surname Ji."

The maid patiently explained: "This is Miss Ji, the daughter of the Chief Secretary of the Prince of Qi's Palace." The young man's face turned dark when he heard this. He wanted to marry a girl from the prince's palace, not a girl from the Chief Secretary's family.

The Chief Clerk was just a minor official. If it weren't for the prestige of Prince Qi's Palace, Ji Huiyi would never have had the opportunity to attend such a banquet.

"May I ask your name, sir? Once Miss Ji has packed up, I can tell you who your savior is."

The young man didn't want to talk.

Qin Er, who confirmed that the person he saved was the county lady, smiled and said, "His name is Wu Jun, and he is the nephew of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."

This status is similar to Ji Huiyi's, and may not even be better than hers.

Qin Er raised his voice to the maid of the princess's mansion and said, "I am Qin Yu, the second son of the Duke of Xian's mansion."

Although Qin Er was a playboy and not very smart, he had a bad heart. Before jumping into the water, he had made up his mind that if the person he saved was the county princess, he would marry her as his wife.

If she is a girl from a small family, you can just take her as a concubine and you don't have to take on too much responsibility.

Qin Er knew that he was different from his elder brother. Everyone in the Xianguo Mansion placed their hopes on his elder brother, and his future wife must be from a noble family.

As for him, a son who was not valued, who knew whether he would be sent away with a small family.

Qin Er thought happily that if the county lord's brother really became emperor, he would also be able to rise to prominence.

Niu Niu was standing behind Shen Ling. When she saw Qin Er appear, she couldn't help but wrinkled her nose in disgust.

Qin Er didn't stay among the girls for long. Feeling that his marriage with the county lady was almost certain, he forcibly pulled Wu Jun away.

Shen Ling was just worrying about how this would end when he saw from afar the eldest princess and her men approaching in a mighty procession.

The princess's people quickly took over the control of the scene. She waved her hand and said to the young girls, "Continue to enjoy the flowers. It's just a small matter."

The princess of the royal palace slipped and fell into the water, but it was just a trivial matter in the mouth of the eldest princess.

The young girls left trembling with fear. They all felt a chill on their backs. The waterside pavilion was too dangerous a place.

Shen Ling took Niu Niu's hand and left.

"My dear, where do you want to go play? Shall we go find your brother?" Shen Ling asked.

Although male and female guests are separated when receiving guests, there is no distinction between men and women when visiting the garden and appreciating the flowers.

Niuniu nodded and said, "Brother Changfeng said he has his own little garden with lots of beautiful flowers. I want to see it!"

The maid sent by Shen Ling quickly brought Shen Changfeng over.

"Luckily you sent someone to rescue me. You don't know that the place where I stayed was full of people with long beards and who talked a lot about Zhihu. They actually asked me! How could I answer that? Isn't this embarrassing?"

As soon as Shen Changfeng arrived, he started complaining at length.

Shen Ling couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed: "Mother boasted in front of everyone that you have made great progress now, but your true colors are revealed so soon?"

Shen Changfeng still felt aggrieved: "Master didn't even test me on this or that. It's not that a bunch of old-fashioned people came out of nowhere and made things difficult for me in the name of testing my teacher."

As he spoke, Shen Changfeng took his two sisters and walked towards the rockery not far away.

"I know a shortcut."

The three of them left the servants who were serving them and entered the rockery. They heard the sound of wind whistling in their ears, but they didn't know where it came from.

Niu Niu was a little scared and immediately tightened the hands of the Shen siblings.

Shen Changfeng turned around and was about to comfort her when he heard someone talking.

"Don't worry, sooner or later, I will kill that evil woman!"

Hearing this, all three of them fell silent.
