Chapter 283 Save, save my life—
Before Zheng Hui could react, Lu Yangyang threw her into the lake.
She can't swim, and she regained consciousness as soon as she fell into the water.
It struggled and thrashed about desperately.
Lu Yangyang casually grabbed the shawl from the girl chatting with Zheng Hui and threw it into the lake. Zheng Hui, no longer caring about anything else, hurriedly grabbed the shawl and shouted angrily, "Lu Yangyang, pull me out! You dare push me into the water? I'm telling you, you just wait, I..."
"Now that you know I pushed you into the water, you still dare to yell?" Lu Yangyang clutched the shawl in her hand: "I'm letting go now."
Zheng Hui had already choked on some water and was in a sorry state. She wanted to shout for help, but she was afraid of attracting a crowd and ruining her reputation.
Especially now that it's summer, she was wearing very little clothing. Falling into the water was already embarrassing enough; if it escalated, she would be the one who lost face. She just didn't like Lu Yangyang; she hadn't intended to get herself involved.
"Yangyang, what happened?" Sheng Yunjiao received a message from Cheng Ruoxue as soon as she entered the door, knowing that Lu Yangyang was here, and ran over all the way.
Little did I know that I would see such a shocking scene as soon as I arrived.
When Zheng Hui saw Sheng Yunjiao, although she and Sheng Yunjiao had never gotten along, fortunately Sheng Yunjiao was also her cousin, she immediately shouted: "Sheng Yunjiao, hurry up and save me! Hurry up, or I'll go back and tell my grandmother that you ganged up on me!"
Sheng Yunjiao's eyes widened. "Zheng Hui, are you sick in the head? I suggest you drink some water and wash your brain. You're just asking for trouble!"
Threaten her? Is she afraid of that?
"You, you all, you've gone too far! Waaah..." Zheng Hui was both angry and scared, and finally realized that now was not the time for her to threaten Lu Yangyang.
Her face was red from choking on water. Seeing that someone in the distance seemed to have heard the noise and was coming this way, she could only mutter in frustration, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have scolded you, please pull me up, please pull me up quickly!"
Lu Yangyang looked at her coldly: "Speak louder, I didn't hear you."
Zheng Hui cried for real this time: "I was wrong, sob sob, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scolded you, it was my fault, I will never do it again, please forgive me, I'm sorry!"
Lu Yangyang was just annoyed by her sharp tongue and didn't intend to really do anything to her. After she apologized, she pulled her up. Zheng Hui had never suffered such humiliation before. Last time, she was kicked by Lu Yangyang. Now she finally remembered what kind of devil Lu Yangyang was. She coughed and burst into tears.
The two girls who had been gossiping with her were also startled by this scene. They bowed repeatedly to Lu Yangyang like quails, apologizing profusely: "We're sorry, we're sorry, we didn't mean to!"
Annoyed by their noise, Lu Yangyang snapped, "Take her and get out of here!"
The two girls immediately fell silent, helped Zheng Hui up, and ran away.
After they left, Sheng Yunjiao asked with a heavy heart, "How come she hasn't grown any brains all these years?"
Zheng Hui was a few months younger than her, and they were cousins who often met. However, Zheng Hui had always been competitive and couldn't stand seeing others do well. She was once coaxed by Sheng Yunzhu with a few kind words and then decided that Sheng Yunzhu was the best in the world. She always tried to outdo Sheng Yunjiao. When Lu Yangyang came, she started to cause trouble for Lu Yangyang. Although she didn't do anything bad, she was like a fly that kept bothering people.
I have no idea how her brain works.
Lu Yangyang stretched and leaned against the railing, tilting her head to look at the lake: "Finally, some peace and quiet."
Sheng Yunjiao laughed twice.
The two had only been sitting for a short while when the birthday banquet began at noon. Sheng Yunjiao originally wanted to stay close to Lu Yangyang, but the Second Madam had brought her out on important business and wanted to see more people during the banquet, so she called her back to socialize.
Sheng Yunjiao followed Madam Wang from one lady to another, smiling until her mouth was almost stiff. She finally managed to escape, but half an hour later it was too late. She hurriedly ran to find Lu Yangyang, but as she reached a corner of a corridor, she suddenly heard two maids mention Lu Yangyang and quickly stopped.
The two maids huddled together and whispered, "Are you sure you sent that wine to that Lu Yangyang?"
"I'm sure, I saw her drink it. I've already taken her to the room on the west side. Don't worry, it'll work."
"That's good. Hurry back and don't let anyone notice anything amiss. You'll get your share of the benefits later."
"I know. I will definitely do my best to handle the things that the Second Miss has asked me to do. Sister Ping'er, please put in a good word for me about serving in the Second Miss's courtyard."
"I understand. Go ahead."
The two quickly parted ways.
Sheng Yunjiao covered her mouth in horror. Someone had drugged Yangyang? Second Miss... This is General Cheng's mansion, so that must be Cheng Shujin?
Sheng Yunjiao clenched her fists. Damn Cheng Shujin! I thought she was just stupid, but I never expected her to be so vicious!
No, she had to go find Yangyang right away. Cheng Shujin had someone drug Yangyang; she definitely had bad intentions. She absolutely couldn't let them succeed!
Sheng Yunjiao became anxious and looked at the location. The west side, the rooms on the west side, the banquet place is not far from the Qushui Pavilion they went to today. Qushui Pavilion is on the west side, and there is a row of guest rooms. Could it be there?
Sheng Yunjiao didn't have time to think much and hurriedly walked towards Qushui Pavilion. The banquet was not over yet, and apart from a few servants coming and going, she didn't see anyone. She wanted to ask someone, but she was afraid of alerting them, so she could only search room by room.
As they were searching, they suddenly saw Cheng Ruoxue bend down and board a painted boat at the end of the corridor. Sheng Yunjiao was about to go over and call her when she saw a hand reach out from the cabin and pull Cheng Ruoxue inside. Then the cabin door immediately closed.
She paused, no longer daring to call out, and could only continue searching room by room.
As she was searching, she suddenly smelled a sweet, cloying fragrance at the door of a room. She couldn't help but frown. Just as she was about to push the door open to see what was going on, the door was suddenly opened, and she was pulled inside by a strong force. Before she could see who it was, she felt dizzy and liquid was poured into her mouth.
Sheng Yunjiao's mind went blank for a moment, and the scene around her became shaky and dizzy. She staggered and turned to run away, but a long arm pulled her into its embrace, covered her mouth, and forcefully dragged her onto the bed and pressed her down.
Sheng Yunjiao instinctively tried to struggle, but her body grew hotter and hotter, and her consciousness became muddled. She felt something groping her body, tearing at her clothes, and saying something, but she couldn't hear a word.
He could only weakly utter a few words, "Help, help me—"
