Chapter 221 Wang Fengyi, do you love him like this?
The water is cold in spring. Although Qin Xiaoning knows how to swim, she was still choked when she suddenly entered the water and had to take several gulps of cold water.

"Help me."

As soon as she steadied herself in the water, she heard Wang Fengyi floundering and calling for help, as well as the chaotic shouting from people on the boat.

In order to prevent accidents, there were maids and servants on the pleasure boat who were familiar with water, but before those people could react, Lu Ji was the first to jump into the water.

Of course I came to save Qin Xiaoning.

The place where Wang Fengyi fell into the water was closer to the boat than she was. Lu Ji swam straight past her. In front of all the dignitaries in the capital passing by on the pleasure boats, the man abandoned his fiancée and went straight for his little girl.

After the man held the little girl tightly in his arms, the maid on the bed finally reacted and jumped into the water to rescue Wang Fengyi.

No near misses.

Qin Xiaoning and Wang Fengyi were rescued.

Everyone was busy changing the two into dry clothes. Lu Ji had a private house on the edge of East Lake. The two were soaked in water and could not continue boating, so they were simply sent to the private house nearby.

Although she had been exposed to cold water, the girl was fine after drinking two bowls of hot ginger soup at the house.

He fell into the water with Wang Fengyi for unknown reasons. It was said that it was because the railing of the deck of the pleasure boat was loose.

The little girl sat on the bed, hugging the quilt, in a daze.

Lu Ji came in, looked at her like this, and asked, "Are you scared silly?"

The little girl raised her head and smiled bitterly: "You still have the mind to joke with me, people outside must be scolding you at this time."

When his wife and concubine fell into the water at the same time, the prince of the mansion actually abandoned his wife to save the concubine. On the Dragon Boat Festival, in front of all the dignitaries in the capital, Lu Ji staged a drama of favoring his concubine and destroying his wife.

"Let them be, I don't care." Lu Ji sat down beside the bed, raised his hand and touched the little girl's forehead, and said to himself: "The water is cold in spring. It seems fine at the moment, but I hope it doesn't cause any root cause of the disease. I'll ask someone to ask the doctor to check you out later."

The little girl raised her hand and took his hand and put it on her face. She said, "I'm fine. Don't go get a doctor. Just stay with me."

As she said that, she got into the man's arms and hugged him tightly with both arms: "Lu Ji, don't leave me, hug me tightly."

The man thought the little girl was frightened, so he hugged her gently and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

Yes, as long as Lu Ji is there, he can support her even if it is a heavenly bed.

She is the one who is safe, but he is the one who suffers.

In order to protect her, he was willing to bear the blame, but how could she bear to let him do that?

The little girl felt distressed, and how could she not feel distressed as an elder who also loved him?

Her own prince has been outstanding since childhood and has never been criticized for anything wrong. However, he is often confused when it comes to matters of the heart. It would have been fine if they were just minor quarrels in the past, but now it has become known to everyone. How can the people in the mansion not blame her?

Qin Xiaoning guessed correctly. The next day, just after Lu Ji went to court, Li Lanchun came to the private residence.

She brought her some nourishing supplements. Although she had a smile on her face, it was a stiff smile. Li Lanchun was straightforward and not like Wang Fengyi who was used to hiding her emotions. This forced pretense looked very incongruous.

"I'm sorry to embarrass Grandma."

Knowing Li Lanchun's personality, Qin Xiaoning came straight to the point when they met. Li Lanchun sighed heavily when she heard this: "A Ning's temper is still against me." She said: "Yesterday, Wang's cousin fell into the water and caught a cold. I wanted to keep her here for two days and wait until she recovered before going back to work, but she said a lot of truth to me and said she would leave no matter what. I didn't leave. When the sun was warm at noon, I ordered someone to send her back to Wang's house."

"Tell me about this."

Li Lanchun didn't know what to say, and halfway through her words, she sighed helplessly.

Qin Xiaoning asked, "People outside must have said some very unpleasant things, right?" She glanced at Li Lanchun's face and asked, "Did the Wang family also make trouble?"

Li Lanchun said truthfully: "The women in Beijing are always gossiping. They love to gossip about what happened yesterday. They will definitely gossip about it. We can't do anything about it. Let them do whatever they want."

She paused, a trace of difficulty on her face: "It's just the Wang family."

"They want the prince to abandon me, right?" Qin Xiaoning asked.

"That's not the case." Li Lanchun said carefully: "The Wang family did make a fuss yesterday, and they want the lady and mother-in-law to give an explanation, but my second brother has such a bad temper..."

Li Lanchun cleared her throat: "He always protects you wholeheartedly."

Seeing Qin Xiaoning lower her eyes and remain silent, Li Lanchun patted her hands and said gently, "This matter is not your fault. You grew up in the mansion since you were a child, so we naturally know you well. But the Wang family must give an explanation."

Li Lanchun sighed and said, "Grandmother originally wanted my second brother to divorce you, but he didn't agree, and neither did mother-in-law. After discussing it, we chose a compromise."

She glanced at the little girl's expression, and said with reluctance: "You stay outside for a while, and when this matter is settled, I will take you back."

Without waiting for Qin Xiaoning to reply, Li Lanchun explained, "Don't worry, Ning. Mother-in-law said that she will definitely not let you be a mistress without any status. After this matter is settled, she will definitely take you back. Even if you live outside now, you will still be a concubine in name."

After Li Lanchun finished speaking, I thought the little girl would cry, but unexpectedly, she responded neatly: "Okay, I know the difficulties faced by the elders in the mansion."

"It's actually pretty good where I live," she said.

At noon, Wang Fengyi was going home.

She hasn't married into the family yet, so she definitely won't stay in Lu Ji's private residence for long.

Before Wang Fengyi left, Qin Xiaoning went to her room.

The person was indeed sick. His originally round face turned pale and he coughed so badly that even his voice became hoarse.

When she saw Wang Fengyi, Qin Xiaoning said, "My cousin is so ill, the prince should really come to see you."

Wang Fengyi forced a bitter smile: "Miss Qin, are you here to show off your power? My fiancé from the Wang family of Langya actually ignored me for a concubine."

Her voice was very hoarse, and when she spoke her voice sounded like a broken gong, no longer as steady and pleasant as before, and it was very uncomfortable to listen to.

Qin Xiaoning sat down on the chair, smiled faintly, and replied: "The prince has always favored me, haven't you gotten used to it yet, cousin?"

Wang Fengyi frowned upon hearing this, raised her hand and pointed at the door and raised her voice: "If you really want to hurt me, please get out."

Qin Xiaoning's eyes darkened: "If you feel that I have hurt you, then you can just come after me, but you resorted to hurting Lu Ji, Wang Fengyi, is this how you love him?"
