Chapter 106 The legitimate daughter whose engagement was broken off 3
The Zhao family's destruction did not attract sympathy from the world. They would only warn their daughters not to learn from Zhao Yushu, who was shameless, hurting others and herself, and harming the entire family.
In the end, the only people in the entire Shangshu Mansion who came to mourn and arrange the funeral affairs of the original owner's family were the original owner's uncle and his wife, the eldest princess and her family.
Zhao Yushu's wish is simple. She doesn't want to have anything to do with the Prince's Mansion anymore. She just wants to live a peaceful life with her father and mother. As for those who drugged her and the man in black who ruined her innocence, she prays that Si Ying can find out the real culprit and let them also taste the pain of having their families broken up.
After seeing the tragic experience of the original owner, Tuan Tuan couldn't help but pull Si Ying's clothes and said in a crying voice, "My lord, Zhao Yushu is too miserable. Although we have experienced several small worlds, it is too pitiful for the Zhao family to be destroyed by those evil people because of the rumors spread by those people who don't know the truth, so pitiful, wuwu~"
Tuanzi couldn't help sobbing because of the sadness for the poor Zhao Yushu's family. This family had no bad relatives, nor did they block the way for others, but the whole family was still forced to die tragically.
How sad.
When Si Ying arrived, Zhao Yushu was invited to go to the lantern festival with some good sisters. Si Ying packed up and went to the agreed place with her maid Zi Su.
When they got there, the people traveling together were all the legitimate daughters of high-ranking officials. Wei Lanxue, as the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, was naturally among them.
A group of housekeepers, accompanied by maids and servants, were having a great time at the lantern festival. Then someone suddenly said loudly, "Look, isn't that the eldest son of the Prince's Mansion?"
The person who spoke was the sister who had a very good relationship with the original owner, Fang Yan'er, the daughter of Lord Fang. As the original owner's close friend, she naturally knew about the engagement between Chu Zisu and the original owner. At this moment, she deliberately spoke loudly so that the group of men opposite could also hear it, so that her good sister Zhao Yushu would have the opportunity to travel with her beloved fiancé.
In fact, Fang Yan'er can be considered a good sister. She had a very good relationship with the original owner in her previous life, and did not distance herself from the original owner because of the original owner's marriage and the rumors outside. But later Fang Yan'er got married, and the original owner's reputation was completely ruined because of that incident. Fang Yan'er's in-laws forbade her to have any contact with the original owner. She had no choice but to be forced to stay away from the original owner.
Sure enough, the men heard the sound and looked over. Seeing that the people on the opposite side were all young ladies from official families that they knew, one of the young ladies immediately recognized that her own brother was among the men on the opposite side, so she hurried forward to greet him, and the group of people decided to go boating together.
Si Ying paid special attention to Chu Zisu and Wei Lanxue. Sure enough, when they saw each other, their eyes were full of love. However, due to the presence of other people, especially the original owner's fiancée, they could only hold back and not express their true feelings to each other.
The money for renting the boat was naturally paid by Chu Zisu. No other family had a higher status than his Prince's Mansion, so naturally they would not show off in front of him.
The young men and ladies boarded the boat, which began to glide slowly in the lake surrounded by lanterns. A group of people were admiring the night scene of the lantern festival. Si Ying also looked around. It was indeed very lively, but in terms of beauty, it was still not as beautiful as the lakeside in Baihua City where flowers were blooming.
Si Ying suddenly thought of that handsome boy again. She always felt like she had seen him more than once, but who was he? At that time, her soul was damaged and she couldn't feel whether he had any spiritual energy, and Tuan Tuan couldn't feel it either. However, Si Ying always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was for the time being.
I simply stopped thinking about it and turned to pay attention to the couple Chu Zisu and Wei Lanxue on the boat who were exchanging glances as if they thought everyone around them were fools.
The look in their eyes was ambiguous, but the others were too busy looking at the beautiful scenery and talking about lantern riddles to pay any attention to them.
Si Ying didn't want them to be so reckless and treat her so-called fiancée as a decoration, so she spoke loudly, "Mr. Chu, what are you looking at? Why are you so fascinated?"
The girl's loud and clear voice interrupted the eye contact between the two. Chu Zisu coughed awkwardly, quickly looked outside the boat, and said indifferently, "I didn't see anything, just the scenery outside."
Si Ying sneered, "Oh? Is the scenery outside nice?"
Chu Zisu replied impatiently, "It's just average, nothing to see."
Si Ying glanced at Wei Lanxue without disguising her eyes, "Well, Master Chu, you are absolutely right, it is indeed very ordinary, nothing to see."
Wei Lanxue looked at Si Ying and heard her say this, then looked at her provocatively and continued to look at the scenery. She was shocked and angry.
She was afraid that Zhao Yushu knew something, and she was angry because of what Zhao Yushu said just now, which was obviously a sarcasm against her. She gritted her teeth and hated her, but she couldn't just fight back. After all, Zhao Yushu and Chu Zisu were engaged. Once others knew about her and Chu Zisu, her reputation would be ruined, and then the Prince's Mansion would definitely not let Chu Zisu marry her.
So Wei Lanxue could only bear it, and then she decided to find an opportunity to harm Zhao Yushu in secret.
Then she saw Si Ying stand up and walk towards the boat railing, presumably wanting to better appreciate the night view. Wei Lanxue was secretly happy, thinking that the opportunity had come.
She deliberately walked to the railing and approached Si Ying who was concentrating on watching the night view. Then she glanced at the men and women around her who were also watching the view at the railing. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, she decisively reached out and pushed them.
Then she saw Zhao Yushu in front of her avoid her push at an incredible angle and hid aside. Because she had just pushed someone with great force, her center of gravity was unstable and she fell directly into the lake.
Si Ying had already hidden far away in the crowd, watching the excitement. When they saw someone fall overboard, the young men and women on the boat panicked instantly. They had left the maids and servants on the shore because they were afraid it would be inconvenient on the boat. Now that there were no maids and servants to go down to rescue people, the young men who could swim had to go down by themselves.
At this moment, everyone also discovered that it was Wei Lanxue who fell down. Whoever went down to save her would definitely marry her in the future, so several young men who were good at swimming hesitated. If it was the original owner or Fang Yaner and the others who fell down, those young men who were good at swimming would definitely go down without hesitation and would be able to embrace the beauty.
But the one who fell was Wei Lanxue. Although she was also a legitimate daughter, her mother was promoted from a concubine after the death of the principal wife. To put it bluntly, she was still the daughter of a concubine. If she had not had a good relationship with the original owner, the other legitimate daughters would not be willing to take her with them to play.
At this time Chu Zisuo also realized that it was Wei Lanxue who fell, so he jumped in to save her without thinking, then he forgot that he could not swim, so the two of them struggled in the water together. Fortunately, several people from other boats jumped down and rescued both of them.
