The shadow in the lake is reflected in the eyes.

He didn't understand. From his point of view, Zhou Jing was undoubtedly a person who was in the way. Taking advantage of others' danger, he could see the bottom of his thoughts at a glance. The darkness in his bones flaunted justice and presented it to her, but she just took it seriously.

Obviously as long as he died, the marriage and the two crises in the East Palace would be resolved logically.

Using him alone to do it is really a bargain that can't be more cost-effective. He doesn't understand why Shen Ange jumped in...

The lake water woke Zhou Jing up for only a moment before he lost consciousness. The girl was not as physically strong as the man in the water, and soon she couldn't hold on, and was dragged down by the man's body.

The Shen residence's carriage was parked in the front yard, and the guards stood with their swords in their arms, knowing nothing about the situation in the yard.

Shen Ange tried his best to grab Zhou Jing's collar, and desperately swam the water to pull him to the shore.

After several ups and downs, she pushed Zhou Jing to the rocks on the shore, and then lost her strength and submerged in the water. The moment she sank, she saw Gu Qing's dark and cold eyes through the water.

Is this over?

After finally being reborn once, he was about to die again.

She regretted leaving the guards outside just now for the convenience of talking.

She wanted to open her mouth to call for help, but was poured into the icy lake water. She couldn't just die like this and be reborn for the first time. What she saw before she died was still the annoying face of that lunatic.

She paddled desperately, but to no avail.

Just before losing consciousness, she heard a pop.

In the lake, she was slowly losing her ability to struggle.

In the blur, she saw a black figure swimming towards her, carrying a series of bubbles.

The arm was tightly grasped and pulled hard, Shen Ange's body pushed away the resistance of the water and floated upwards.

Strong arms dragged Shen Ange's waist, allowing her to surface smoothly.

"Miss."

She heard Gu Qing's slightly hasty voice reminding her, pinching her jaw and calling her desperately.

The wide hand was pressed against the chest, and the chest was squeezed, and she opened her breath in an instant, and the air scrambled to pour in, choking her to breathe hard.

"Come... come here!"

The first time she was able to speak, she hurriedly called the guards in, and said hoarsely, "Li Zhi!"

Beside the carriage in the front yard, Li Zhi vaguely heard the call, and realized something was wrong, strode across the moon gate, and only then saw the scene in the lake.

Suddenly his face changed with horror.

"Come on, save Miss!"

Li Zhi lost his saber and jumped into the lake to support Shen Ange.

The other two guards also arrived, and together they pulled the drowsy Zhou Jing ashore.

Shen Ange was surrounded and went ashore. The guards surrounded her and patted her on the back, but she ignored herself and urged in a short voice: "Leave me alone, go...see...look at Mr. Zhou!"

So, he turned to Zhou Jing, breathed, pressed his chest, and asked for a doctor, all in a hurry.

No one noticed that there was another Gu Qing in the lake.

He wasn't annoyed either, what he thought in his mind was that if this scene was seen by others, it would be safest to kill everyone present.

However, after swiping the dagger in his hand a few times, he finally put it back in his sleeve, and went ashore with a heavy suit in the lake.

In such a season, one can imagine how cold the lake is.

Shen Ange by the lake was shivering, not only because of the cold, but also because of the fear of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Zhou Jing died because of her in the previous life, and it cannot be repeated in this life.

Just as he was thinking about it, his body warmed up, and a large and dry black robe came over him.

She raised her head in a daze, and saw Gu Qing's face that was frozen by the lake water.

The tips of his hair were still wet and dripping water, his lips were pale because of the cold, with the moonlight behind him, his eyes were hard to distinguish.

"Miss, don't catch a cold."

Shen Ange sat on the ground dejectedly, panting, and it was difficult to distinguish the emotions in her eyes. Just now, she seemed to see the shadow of her previous life on this young face.

She bit her lower lip subconsciously, and after a short recovery, she was filled with boundless anger from the bottom of her heart.

There was a tightness in her chest.

With force under her palm, she tore off Gu Qing's tightly packed robe and threw it on the ground.

She didn't want to see him, didn't want to talk to him, and now she hated seeing his face.

She couldn't scold him in front of everyone that he was no different from his previous life.

When he was angry, the comatose Zhou Jing suddenly choked out a mouthful of pleural effusion, and the guard said happily, "Miss, Mr. Zhou is awake!"

Shen Ange let out a long sigh of relief, ignoring Gu Qing who was at the side, the joy of turning the crisis into safety made her unsteady, and rushed to Zhou Jing's side, Shen Ange's face was pale, only her eyes were wet and red, she said guiltily: "Jing Brother, are you okay?"

again...

Gu Qing lowered her eyes, looking at her empty hands, the robe she threw down was at her feet, her eyelashes cast a deep shadow.

Zhou Jing just came back from the ghost gate, his body was covered with a robe, he wanted to open his mouth to say something because he was too exhausted to say anything.

He just raised his hand tremblingly, and gave the things in his hands to Shen Ange, not many people knew that he couldn't swim, and these two people came here with a purpose tonight.

"This fabric..."

Still, Li Zhi who was on the side was well-informed, touched the cloth with his hand, frowned and said, "Miss, this material is not like the cloth used by ordinary people, but it looks like... an official family..."

Shen Ange's eyes turned to Li Zhi and Zhou Jing, which confirmed her guess that Zhou Jing's falling into the lake was not an accident.

"Brother Jing, are you still injured?"

Zhou Jing glanced at her, then lowered his gaze, and shook his head.

Soon, Zhou Jing was sent back to the Zhou Mansion, and Shen Ange specially sent guards to escort him.

Wait for Zhou Jing to go away.

"Li Zhi, did you have anything to say just now?"

Li Zhi was surprised by Shen Ange's observation, obviously he hid it very well.

"Miss, just now I saw that the fabric is not only used by officials and officials, but also used by private guards of high-ranking officials. The fabric is wear-resistant and soft at the same time. Obviously, it is mostly used on people who practice martial arts all year round."

Hearing this, Shen Ange sat silently on the ground for a long time, and then came back to his senses under the careful call of a guard, dragged his wet body and was helped to the side of the carriage.

With water dripping from Gu Qing's jaw, she followed her silently, just like that night a few months ago.

It's a pity that Shen Ange's heart was moved that night, but today she will not be deceived again.

Shen Ange stopped in her tracks, her usually soft voice now became more forceful because of anger.

"You go down first!"

Turning away the attendants, she looked around and saw the driver's whip beside the carriage, holding it in her hand and turned to Gu Qing, looking directly at him.

After a while, he asked, "Why are you here?"

The missing letters, the obstacles along the way, Zhou Jing who fell into the lake, and Gu Qing who "coincidentally" appeared here...

All the details were strung together by her bit by bit to form a terrifying truth, and everything was the development direction she least wanted to see.

The lantern with the Shen family logo on the carriage shook because of the restlessness of the horse, and the quietness of the backyard gave the shaking lantern an air of mystery.

Gu Qing remained unchanged, still obedient and quiet, as if she was an outsider in the incident tonight.

Only when she watched Shen Ange's body shivering because of the damp and cold, but stubborn and angry, there would be some waves in his eyes.

"Miss is trembling." He said softly.

Shen Ange ignored his words and asked, "When did you start planning?"

"It's about to enter deep winter, and it's cold at night, and it's easy to get sick wearing wet clothes." Gu Qing said.

Shen Ange took a deep breath and tried to control his anger, "How long are you going to pretend, Fu Jiu?"
