Chapter 355: Falling into the water, Shen Jinghong rescues the beauty
"Why do you care what I have? Do you think everyone is like you, even forging a visiting card?" Yao Qingnian rolled her eyes at her and said to the servant, "Just say that it's the Shangshu Mansion's eldest daughter Shen Nianran who's here to visit."
"Okay, Miss Shen, please wait a moment." After the servant closed the door, he ran to report.
Gu Jialing did not leave, but stood aside to watch the show. She did not believe that Yao Qingnian, a village girl and a fool, could be more useful than her, the daughter of the Prime Minister. If she could not get in, she could forget about it!
After a while, the door of the mansion was opened again, and a middle-aged man dressed like a butler came out with a smile on his face. The servant followed closely behind him and walked to Yao Qingnian and saluted respectfully: "I am the butler of the Han Mansion. I didn't know you were coming. Please forgive me for not welcoming you!"
"No need to be so polite, housekeeper! I brought my brother here today to pay a visit to Dr. Han. I wonder if he is in the mansion?"
"Yes, please come in, Miss Shen!" The butler made a gesture of invitation.
"Wait! Butler! Are you blind? I, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, invited you to come to my grandmother's house for medical treatment, but you refused to see her. How could she, a country bumpkin, do that?" Gu Jialing was very upset when she saw that the butler was respectful to them but ignored her! She yelled at the butler.
"Miss from the Prime Minister's Mansion, do you have a visiting card?!" The housekeeper then noticed Gu Jialing who was still standing aside.
"It's just a visiting card, just a piece of scrap paper. She doesn't have one either. Why do you treat her differently?" she said unconvinced.
"Miss, please go back if you don't have a visiting card! Miss Shen has our young master's jade pendant, so there is no need for a visiting card." The housekeeper turned around and ignored her, and directly invited Yao Qingnian and the others into the mansion.
"Your Han family is just seeking fame and reputation. What miracle doctor? In my opinion, he is just a quack! I don't know what kind of coquettish and despicable means Miss Shen used to bewitch Han Junze so much that even King Jing speaks for her." Gu Jialing said sarcastically from the side.
The housekeeper paused, turned around and looked at her coldly and said, "Miss, please keep your mouth shut. Be careful not to speak out of turn. You must think clearly about the consequences of slandering the prince and defaming our young master! It is not your turn to comment on what happens in our Han Mansion. Even if the prime minister comes in person without a visiting card, our young master may not be willing to see him! Ah Xiang! Close the door!"
After the butler finished speaking, he asked the servant Axiang to close the door.
"Miss Shen, please wait here. My son is busy in the pharmacy and will come as soon as he is done." The butler took her directly to the back garden, made tea and provided snacks for her.
Shen Jinghong looked around, and out of boredom he ran to the nearby lotus pond to watch the fighting fish.
At this moment, they suddenly heard the voice of a woman not far away: "Come quickly! It's bad! The young lady fell into the water."
Yao Qingnian stood up when she heard the voice and ran towards the place where the shouting came from. She saw a white figure rushing in front of her, and with a splash, he jumped into the water to save someone. That person was Shen Jinghong.
"What happened?" Yao Qingnian walked over and saw an old woman stamping her feet anxiously on the shore.
"My young lady saw that the lotus pods in the lotus pond were growing well, and wanted to pick two to taste. Unexpectedly, they fell into the lake accidentally. I can't swim, what should I do?" The old woman looked at the figure in the lake anxiously, praying that her young lady would be safe.
After a long while, Shen Jinghong was seen swimming to the shore with a woman in his arms. The old woman and Yao Qingnian hurriedly worked together to pull the woman to the shore. She looked frightened and looked like the young man who was still in the lake, with a face full of gratitude. The old woman held her in her arms and asked the servants who came to get her clothes.
"Come on, big brother, I'll pull you up." Yao Qingnian walked to the shore and stretched out his hand to pull him up. Unexpectedly, after he took a look and saw that the people on the shore were fine, he smiled broadly and said, "Sister, wait! I'll pick lotus pods for you." He turned around and swam towards a patch of lotus flowers that were growing well.
"Hey! Be careful!" Before she finished her words, the person had already swam away quickly. She shook her head and walked to the side of the woman who fell into the water: "Miss, are you okay?"
"It's okay! Thank you, young man and young lady, for saving my life." The woman's face was a little pale, but she still gave her a gentle smile.
"You're welcome. It's just a small favor. That's my brother. Go back and change your clothes quickly. Don't catch a cold."
"Thank you, young lady! If it weren't for you, I, an old woman, don't know what to do! Come on, young lady, let's go back and change our wet clothes first." The nanny bowed to Yao Qingnian and helped the woman to leave.
Just at this moment, Han Junze hurried over, and seeing the situation in front of him, he asked in surprise: "Sister, what happened to you?"
"Jun Ze, I accidentally fell into the lake just now. Thanks to this young lady and her brother for helping me. You must thank them later."
"Brother? Master...Miss Shen, where is your brother?" Han Junze looked around but did not see her brother.
"he goes……"
Before he could finish his words, he saw a head popping out of the lotus pond. It climbed up, all wet, holding two lotus pods in its hands. It walked in front of them like offering treasures, took out one of them and gave it to Yao Qingnian: "Sister, I'll give it to you. These are fresh lotus pods." He handed the rest directly to the woman: "Be careful next time!"
"Thank you...thank you!" After meeting Shen Jinghong's clear eyes, her face instantly blushed.
"You're welcome!"
"Butler, quickly take Mr. Shen to change into clean clothes." Han Junze ordered the butler.
"Yes, Mr. Shen, please come this way."
After everyone left, the two returned to the garden and sat down.
"Master, why did you come here today without sending anyone to deliver a message in advance?" Han Junze poured her a cup of tea.
"Well, I was bored and knew you were in the capital, so I came here to visit your mansion. I didn't expect your yard to be so nice. It's even more magnificent than Prince Ding's. I am a little envious and jealous."
"How about you move in here, Master?"
"Why don't you just send me there?!"
"Haha! Master, it's not impossible if you want!" Han Junze returned to his usual playful look.
"Okay, I was just kidding! I came here today because I want you to see my brother. His brain was severely damaged and he didn't receive timely treatment. Now his IQ is almost that of a child." She stated the purpose of her trip.
