Chapter 93 Someone fell into the water

"Miss, did you hear that? Shen Ru is bluffing again."

Jade whispered sourly in Cui Ti's ear.

"Don't she just like to be in the limelight?"

When Cui Ti was on the suspension bridge, she broke into a cold sweat. At this moment, she felt a little cold.

"Don't worry about her. I have a headache and don't want to blow the wind. Let's rest in the carriage for a while and call me if you need anything."

Cui Tiyan said, feeling really not in a good mood.

"Dad, bring me a bucket!"

Shen Ru shouted towards the shore.

"Bucket, bucket, there is no bucket!"

After hearing this, Shen Yan on the shore rummaged around, but there was no bucket, so he finally took out a pot.

"It'll be fine once you've crossed it!"

Shen Ru shouted again.

Soon, Shen Ru returned to the shore with a pot of fish.

"Sister, you are amazing!"

A pot of lively fish made the younger brothers and sisters stunned, and they were full of admiration for Shen Ru.

"Sister, hurry up, tell me how you caught the fish."

Shen Xuan was jumping around Shen Ru excitedly.

"Because the river is frozen, the fish are very stuffy down there. As for my sister, just dig a hole in the ice. The fish will want to come up for air!"

Shen Ru said with a smile, "If you stay by the river for a long time, my sister will grill fish for you; if you go on the road, you will eat fish when the time comes!"

"Hey, let me count, six fish. Ah Ru, you are really capable."

When Shen Yan saw the fish in the pot, he was also happy. His daughter was really capable.

Chen Qing saw that the fog was too thick and he could not see the road clearly, so he sent someone to explore the road first.

Knowing that the road ahead was not only unclear but also covered in thick snow, Chen Qing could only agree to find a place to stay by the river.

This made Shen Ru's family so happy that they immediately prepared to light a fire.

Shen Ru also killed and cleaned the fish directly by the river, smearing salt inside and outside.

Shen Ping, mother and daughter helped collect firewood.

Soon, the aroma of fish wafted out from the fire.

"Miss Shen, is this fish easy to catch?"

A prisoner almost drooled at the smell of grilled fish and asked Shen Ru shyly.

"I think it's easy to catch, but I don't know if you can catch him."

Shen Ru looked up and saw, well, it was the person who blocked her carriage with Shen Ming before. He was really shameless.

"Then...after we catch it, can we bake it together?"

Listening to the other party's words, which did not feel embarrassed at all, Shen Ru looked over directly.

"No, why don't you keep watching? Who wouldn't?"

"Yeah, how dare you ask us, Aru, to grill fish for you, huh?"

Shen Yan said impatiently, he couldn't bear to handle his own daughter, how could she be such an ignorant child.

The prisoner who was disliked by Shen Yan left angrily.

"Well, Miss Shen, how about we buy a grilled fish?"

This time it was Pei Qingshan.

"Actually, it's not that I'm greedy, I just want to feed Master Chongguang."

"Okay, take it!"

Shen Ru said generously this time, Pei Wenjing had given money after all.

This was nothing at first, but Cui Ti felt a little uncomfortable. Shen Ru might have done it on purpose!

"Jade, please ask Jin and Uncle Zhong below if they can catch fish too?"

Cui Ti and Feicui were the only two people in the carriage, and it was Feicui who told Cui Ti about this. "Okay, miss, I'll go right away. I can't let Shen Ru be proud for too long."

Jade immediately responded, quickly got out of the carriage, and ran to Fang Jin to talk about Cui Ti.

Fang Jin frowned and looked at Jade up and down. The more times he saw it, the more he understood.

"Jade, you have changed a lot."

"Fang Jin, what do you mean? I just want you to catch fish. Why are you talking about me?"

Jade said in confusion.

"I just think that the lady's temperament has changed, but now it seems that it is probably you who is causing trouble in front of the lady. What do you want to do?"

Fang Jin pulled Jade aside and asked, not in front of everyone, it was because of his old friendship.

"Fang Jin, you said that I am making trouble. We grew up together. Am I such a person?"

"But, aren't you the one who brings up Shen Ru in front of the young lady and makes the young lady compete with Shen Ru?"

Fang Jin hit the nail on the head, "I don't know why you are doing this. There is no need to argue between our lady and Miss Shen's family!"

"Obviously that's not the case. It's Shen Ru who has been competing with the lady."

Jade does not admit it.

"She clearly knows how important the Pei family is to the young lady, but you have also seen that she is not very polite to other people, but to the Pei family, isn't this a competition with our young lady?"

"Also, I just can't stand the way she tries to please officials. She's obviously a flatterer, but she still looks calm."

"The main thing is that the Pei family obviously still thinks Shen Ru is good. Why don't you ask me to feel sorry for our young lady."

"This is all your idea, Jade, you are too extreme!"

Fang Jin's view of Shen Ru is completely different from Jade's.

"Also, you were also deceived by Shen Ru, weren't you? Fang Jin, look at you, you are questioning my character because of Shen Ru, whom I have only known for a short time."

"When have I ever harmed the lady? Is it wrong that I only care about the lady?"

Jade's plausive words were just sophistry in Fang Jin's eyes.

"You go back to Miss. If Miss wants to eat fish, Uncle Zhong and I will help her catch it."

"But...if you want to compete with Shen Ru to please the Pei family, I refuse!"

Jade was furious and looked at Fang Jin with wide eyes.

"Well, without you, I can't do anything, just catch fish, don't I know how to do it?"

"I will let the lady know that none of you men are good!"

After speaking, Feicui left angrily and went straight to the river to follow Shen Ru's example and dig into the ice.

Fang Jin was also angry. Escorting the Pei family to exile to Liangzhou was an act of love and justice, but he didn't know why both the young lady and Feicui had changed their tempers.

After hesitating for a while, Fang Jin still didn't trust Jade and walked towards the river.

"Jade, come up!"

"What are you doing here? Do you think I can't catch fish without you?"

As soon as Fang Jin stepped onto the ice, he felt a vibration underneath.

"Jade, come here quickly!"

Fang Jin said anxiously, and while he was speaking, he saw the ice under his feet cracking little by little.

Jade also felt it, and at that moment, the ice beneath him cracked, and Jade fell directly into the water.

The biting cold made Jade faint immediately. Undercurrent surged under the ice, and her whole body was swept forward by the lake water at an extremely fast speed.

Fang Jin rushed over quickly, but couldn't hold Jade back, so he could only plunge into the ice.

"I fell into the water, someone fell into the water!"

Shen Ru was eating grilled fish when he heard someone shouting, so he stood up and looked towards the water.

"Aru, it's so scary, this ice is not that strong!"

Thinking that her daughter had walked on the ice, Empress Shen was extremely frightened.

"Maybe there are cracks on the ice because I have been transporting things for a long time. I am very lucky."

Shen Ru guessed: "Who fell down?"
