“Wife!”
“Shimei!”
“Sister!”
After Liu Shimei fell into the lake, another two figures jumped into the lake!
Liang Yi was about to jump when he noticed two people jumping into the lake. He was stunned and turned around to ask Liang Sheng with his eyes wide open, “Seventh Uncle, am I seeing things?”
“No!” Liang Sheng’s expression was solemn.
Not only were they not seeing things, but everyone else was also not seeing things!
Even though their eyes may have played tricks on them earlier, they could clearly see the people surfacing from the water now, and there was no room for mistakes.
That’s right!
The person who jumped into the lake to save Liu Shimei was not only her fiance, Silly Second Prince, but also…
The Crown Prince!
This information caused everyone to freeze on the spot!
In reality, who did not know that Liu Shimei was the candidate that Empress Qu Yingrong had chosen for the Crown Prince’s wife? Moreover, it was the kind that had been approved by the Crown Prince. The selection of a wife on the 16th day of the first month was a clear path and was set in stone.
As everyone knew, Huangfu He had always admired Liu Shimei, and they were publicly acknowledged as a match made in heaven.
But who would have thought that something would happen to Liu Shimei on the eve of the consort selection?!
Forget about the marriage, Liu Shimei was going to marry his younger brother. Which man would be willing to accept this?
And in front of him, Liu Shimei had fallen into the lake, and the Crown Prince had jumped in to save her without thinking. What did this mean?
Unresolved feelings!
The Liang family’s faces darkened as they stared at the situation on the lake.
Finally, they saw the person who carried Liu Shimei to the surface, it was King Dun Yu Huangfu Lingyao. They were finally relieved!
If it had been the Crown Prince who saved her, it would have been hard to avoid misunderstandings between a young man and a young woman in such a situation!
There were still four candidates for the Crown Prince consort. Would the families behind them really not take any measures against Liu Shimei?
“Wife, are you okay?” Huangfu Lingyao carried Liu Meimei to the shore.
As a skilled swimmer, Liu Shixiu was fine, but the sudden incident caused her to choke on water.
On the other side, Huangfu He’s personal guards and eunuchs also rushed over and pulled him up.
The three of them were all wet. Soon, the green stone slabs on the shore were covered with water.
Huangfu Lingyao was still hugging Liu Shimei. Liu Shimei wanted to break free, but he refused to let go.
“Little Nine!” Liang Sheng gave Liang Yi a look.
Liang Yi nodded, took off his outer robe, and walked up, handing it to Huangfu Lingyao.
The supposedly foolish person in everyone’s eyes understood his intention and draped the clean robe over Liu Shimei, enveloping her in it before finally releasing his hold.
Liu Shimei was stunned and finally understood why her young paparazzo refused to let go. So he was afraid that others would see her after she got wet?
She could not help but chuckle at his possessiveness and protectiveness, but this was not the time to dwell on that!
She turned around to find the source of her fall into the lake.
Meanwhile, Huangfu He had changed into dry clothes, his wet hair stuck to his forehead. He stared at the person who had been caught by Liang Yi.
His expression was dark and cold. “It’s you?”
The girl, clearly a servant, knelt on the ground. She was trembling as she said,” This servant is guilty! I know I was wrong! I didn’t mean to! I tripped on a stone, and accidentally caused Miss Liu to fall into the lake!”
Every time she spoke, she would kowtow.
After a while, her forehead was scratched.
She sounded like she was not in the wrong, but with Huangfu Lingyao’s temper, he could not help it. He hugged Liu Shimei and said angrily, “You must have done it on purpose! Hurry up and tell me who instigated you!”
He stomped his feet angrily.
In his anger, he stomped his foot like a child having a tantrum, displaying a fierce yet childish demeanor that made people completely overlook his clear and logical reasoning!
Beside Liu Shimai, Mo’er stood her ground.. As Luangfu Lingyao was yelling, she joined in, shouting, “I know you!”
