Concubine's true colors

Chapter 145
Seeing the ripples on the surface of the lake slowly disappear, when the lake full of water returned to calm again, Zhou Xianyu's figure still did not appear.

Xiao Jinxuan's face immediately became extremely disturbed, and she ran back in a hurry, then she knelt down to the edge of the lake, and shouted anxiously:

"Zhou Xianyu, come up to me quickly, don't look for that silk handkerchief anymore, come up quickly."

Xiao Jinxuan yelled for a long time, but the lake was still quiet, and she didn't get any reply.

Thinking that Zhou Xianyu was seriously injured not long ago, and now he jumped into the lake, Xiao Jinxuan was really worried that the other party's old injury had not healed, and if something happened to him, he would regret it later.

She endured the pain in her heart to relieve the pain, the pain of lovesickness, and ruthlessly and indifferently wanted to force the other party away, in order to make Zhou Xianyu safe and worry-free.

Zhou Xianyu was injured because of her before, but now because of her, he jumped into the lake again.

Xiao Jinxuan shouted anxiously, and her heart became more determined. She wanted to leave Zhou Xianyu's side, and she didn't want him to suffer any harm because of her.

Because of being too worried, Xiao Jinxuan exhausted her whole body's strength in shouting, so without much effort, her voice was already hoarse.

Even so, Zhou Xianyu still didn't emerge from the water, but the passers-by around were all attracted by Xiao Jinxuan's anxious and terrified voice, and surrounded him in groups, wondering what happened.

It took half a cup of tea, and Xiao Jinxuan's original anxiety turned into panic now. Seeing that Zhou Xianyu still didn't come out of the lake, he didn't come out of the lake to take a breath.

Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan took off her cloak, and then took off her embroidered shoes. She didn't plan to continue doing this and waited, but wanted to go into the water to find Zhou Xianyu herself.

Xiao Jinxuan grew up in Meizhuang since she was a child, and she is not much different from those country girls. Therefore, she learned the skills of climbing trees to dig eggs and diving into the water to fish for fish, and her water skills are quite good.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan's right foot had already stepped into the lake, but before she could make another move, someone grabbed her shoulders from behind and pulled her back to the shore.

Keeping Zhou Xianyu's comfort in mind, Xiao Jinxuan was extremely annoyed at this troublesome person who stopped her, and immediately turned to stare at the person with cold eyes.

But when she saw clearly that the person who caught her was actually Zhou Xianrui, after a moment of astonishment, surprise appeared on her face.

"Your Highness, it's great that you are here. Send someone down to the lake and help me rescue Zhou Xianyu. He has been in the water for half a cup of tea and hasn't come up once. What if he has an accident? .”

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan whose voice was hoarse, her face was full of panic, and her embroidered shoes were thrown aside, Zhou Xianrui hurriedly spoke calmly, and softly comforted her:
"Miss Si, don't worry, you mean that Xianyu jumped into the Yingyue Lake after returning to the capital, right?"

At this time, Xiao Jinxuan felt that it was a waste of time for Zhou Xianrui to ask more questions, tears welled up in her eyes, and she shouted hoarsely:

"Yeah, this guy not only ran back privately, but also jumped into the lake foolishly. He only healed from a serious injury. How could he love himself so ignorantly? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said it so seriously. , but I really have no choice, why is this happening, Zhou Xianyu, come out for me."

Xiao Jinxuan cried aggrievedly all her life in her previous life, so she actually doesn't like to cry in this life. In her view, tears are just a symbol of cowardice and the most useless thing.

Therefore, after being reborn, even when the situation was in danger, she never shed a single tear.

But Zhou Xianyu may be destined to be an anomaly in her life. Almost all of her tears in this life were shed for the other party alone, which made her worry about her and made it hard for her to leave.

And when he saw Xiao Jinxuan who was crying helplessly while clutching her skirt tightly, Zhou Xianrui's eyes flashed with unconcealable pity.

Then he raised the cloak behind him forward to completely protect Xiao Jinxuan, and then said softly:
"Miss Si, please don't cry. My seventh brother is very good at martial arts. He will be fine even if he enters the water and holds his breath for half an hour, let alone half a cup of tea. So you just need to rest assured that I believe he will be fine." .”

Obviously Zhou Xianrui and Zhou Xianyu are worthy of being good brothers who grew up together since they were young, seeing His Highness Prince Rui's voice, it didn't last long.

As if to prove his words, Zhou Xianyu burst out of the lake, splashing water everywhere, but he couldn't hide his unruly laughter.

"Xuan'er, look quickly, I found this silk handkerchief, this handkerchief sinks really fast after being soaked in water, I almost swam to the bottom of the lake, and this is how I found it."

When he said this, Zhou Xianyu floated in the lake, raised the handkerchief in his hand high, and then shouted in a domineering and free voice:
"Xuan'er, did you see that I have picked up the handkerchief that sank into the lake now, no matter why you are so indifferent to me suddenly, but you don't want to push me away, you are me, Zhou Xianyu, you can use your life to go The guarding woman. This king is now in Yingyue Lake, and I swear in the name of my mother and concubine that I will not marry you in this life, and you will never marry anyone other than this king."

This extremely arrogant and domineering declaration immediately caused many people who watched for a long time to applaud and applaud.

Among them, the wealthy daughters, even after recognizing Zhou Xianyu's identity, covered their mouths and whispered coquettishly, with expressions of admiration and longing.

Especially for the woman named Xuan'er that Zhou Xianyu mentioned, it aroused the unanimous jealousy of the women present.

Seeing the common people watching all around, as well as the daughters of officials, the descendants of aristocratic families gathered more and more, Zhou Xianrui, who was supporting Xiao Jinxuan in front of him, immediately called the twenty guards who came with him to disperse them, And to Zhou Xianyu who was still standing in the lake, he shouted in a deep voice:

"Come up to me immediately when you've had enough nonsense. You're over [-] now, why are you still messing around like a child? You know that Miss Si almost jumped into the lake because she was worried about you. If you really love her, why don't you?" But being so reckless makes her worry about you for no reason."

Zhou Xianrui said this on purpose, although he didn't know what happened between his seventh brother and Xiao Jinxuan just now.

But based on what Zhou Xianyu said just now in Huzhong, Xiao Jinxuan must have hit a wall again.

Zhou Xianrui did not forget, the last time Xiao Jinxuan said in his study when he was drunk, he was sure that the other party had Zhou Xianyu in his heart, and it was only because of his own reasons that he rejected this relationship.

So Zhou Xianrui must let Zhou Xianyu know how Xiao Jinxuan was desperate to save him just now, so that he can also call him the seventh brother, understand the other party's true intentions, and avoid misunderstanding between the two of them.

And obviously, after Zhou Xianrui finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu was stunned by surprise. After a while, he jumped out of the lake anxiously and rushed straight to Xiao Jinxuan.

When Zhou Xianyu came close and saw the cloak and embroidered shoes that had been thrown all over the place, instead of being happy because Xiao Jinxuan was so nervous about him, he frowned and said with a little reproach:
"Xuan'er, what are you doing? Don't say that I will be fine at all, that is, I was really drowning in the water. Do you think that I hope you can come to save me? If it is because of me that you suffer a little Injury, then I, Zhou Xianyu, might as well die directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu picked up his cloak angrily, and also picked up the pair of embroidered shoes.

Then he ignored Xiao Jinxuan's resistance, and directly wrapped the cloak around the opponent, squatted down, gently lifted the opponent's left foot, and placed it on his knee.

Then Zhou Xianyu helped Xiao Jinxuan put on the embroidered shoes again, and said softly:
"Xuan'er, I can let you do other things, but if you treat your own safety as a trifling matter, you will never do it next time, not to mention that I, Zhou Xianyu, are so useless in your eyes. If I am this Big man, if I have to wait for you to save everything, then I am not worthy to marry you in the future, let alone take care of you for the rest of my life."

Seeing Zhou Xianyu put on the embroidered shoes for herself carefully and gently, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't refuse, and couldn't help but blush on her face.

Realizing that her heart was being touched again, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly suppressed this emotion, and warned herself that she must not be emotional again, otherwise, if the love is not broken, she will end up harming others and herself again.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan pretended not to see Zhou Xianyu's warm and tender feelings at all, and hurriedly looked at Zhou Xianrui, then changed the subject and said:
"Your Highness, Jinxuan has something to ask you now, can you send me 50 private soldiers from the house, you will come today, presumably it must be Zhuxin Baishu who came to you for help, so I am here today You must have known about the fact that you were almost plotted late at night, so I will definitely get this debt back."

After returning to the capital, Xiao Jinxuan asked herself that she was still very cautious in everything. Inside and outside the handsome mansion, if no one else provoked her, she would not be too sharp to act first.

But now Qian Yunhong's persecution and the schemes of relatives in the commander's mansion have completely worn out Xiao Jinxuan's patience.

Moreover, she is not as isolated and helpless as she was when she first came to the capital. The eldest aunt Zhao in the commander's mansion is in a joint alliance with her.

The second aunt, Shen Shi, cared for her even more and treated her as her own.

As for the Qian family who has been making things difficult for her, after Qian Ming and Hua Yang died one after another, she no longer received any support from her mother's family. In addition to Qian Yunhong's refusal to hire Xiao Jinyu before, the old lady is now very fond of the Qian family. Disgusted, she was not even allowed to walk out of her yard at will.

Therefore, except for the old lady and Xiao Jinyu, no one else would pose a threat to Xiao Jinxuan in the huge handsome mansion.

Besides, she still has Zhou Xianrui's help outside the mansion, so Xiao Jinxuan feels that now that she is getting richer, there is no need for her to endure being plotted against by others. Since she wants to murder her, she might as well take action first and kill those who dare to harm her. , all pushed into the abyss of eternal doom.

When Zhou Xianrui heard this, he was shocked immediately, and then asked in a deep voice:
"I do know what happened tonight, but the person Fourth Miss is going to deal with is Qian Yunhong from Huai'an Marquis Mansion, or your sister-in-law Xiao Jinyu."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan suddenly sneered, and then said slowly:

"Your Highness is wrong. Jinxuan is not interested in these two people. I borrowed someone from you, but the one I have to deal with is my dear grandmother Bai, who has held the power of the commander-in-chief for decades!"
