Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 58 Falling into the water
Ye Wanqing held her eyelids tightly and asked, "I just said something casually, but you started to ridicule me and then got angry. Could it be that you, the young master, taught that singer?"

"You..." The man choked.

Liao Fuyu glanced at Ye Wanqing and said, "What do you mean by 'you'? Could it be that you are really a famous pipa teacher? If so, why don't you play it for us? Whether you are good or not cannot be proved by words!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Ye Wanqing expectantly.

Ye Wanqing nodded approvingly: "Well said."

Liao Fuyu was greatly encouraged: "Famous Pipa teacher, great Pipa master, why are you silent? Are you talking nonsense?"

The man seemed to be extremely ashamed and angry: "Just wait and see!"

Soon, the sound of a pipa was heard from the barge across the river.

Liao Fuyu was surprised: "He really means it!"

Ye Wanqing held his forehead and smiled: "Maybe he was drunk and couldn't stand your provocation. But he plays the pipa quite well."

The sound of the pipa is particularly pleasant at night.

Unconsciously, the tourists on the river bank stopped and listened to the music in the cold wind.

Yipinju.

Tonight, Chu Xiaoyan booked the entire place.

There were nearly a hundred young men who came to the banquet.

In addition, many talented prostitutes were specially invited from Qingfengju to accompany them.

The restaurant has six floors, and it is bustling with people coming and going.

On the third floor, a group of people gathered together to watch cockfighting. The room was full of chicken feathers and the cheers were getting louder and louder.

Chu Anlan was among them.

Just when I was enjoying myself, someone suddenly opened the window and shouted, "There's someone playing the pipa in the pleasure boat on the river!"

A group of people didn't even raise their heads: "Playing the pipa, what's so good about it?"

At this time, someone said, "Playing the pipa is indeed nothing to see, but I seem to have seen the maid from the Princess's mansion."

The Princess's Mansion?

Chu Anlan's ears moved, and he stood up and walked over: "Where is it?"

Someone pointed in a direction: "It's over there!"

Chu Anlan walked over, held onto the wooden railing by the window, and leaned out to look: "Where..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly tripped over someone.

Before anyone could react, a red shadow fell straight into the river.

"thump……"

Someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Oh no! Prince Dun fell into the water!"

The sound of falling into the water interrupted the sound of the pipa.

The originally quiet river surface suddenly became noisy.

The water was rippling, and the broken ice on the water surface was floating with the ripples. The crisp collision sound made people feel cold.

Chu Anlan is not very good at swimming.

After his body was in the air, he instinctively wanted to grab something, but he grabbed a handful of ice.

The broken ice was like a sharp blade, cutting through his skin and embedding the cold into his bones.

The cold river water, carrying broken ice, poured into the eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

The mulberry wine was very strong. Ye Wanqing felt hot all over and her head was heavy and dizzy. She ordered people to open the windows of the houseboat and hang up the curtains.

The moment the curtain was lifted, she inadvertently looked out the window.

A touch of red fell into the moat in the night, splashing large amounts of water and broken ice.

Red?

Ye Wanqing was stunned.

Then, someone exclaimed, "Chu Anlan fell into the water!"

At that moment, Ye Wanqing felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

A chill rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, instantly dispelling the effects of the alcohol.

It was as if she was the one who fell into the water.

There was chaos on both sides of the river, with screams, cries for help, and noise coming one after another.

Ye Wanqing stood up, holding onto the table, throwing all manners and manners out of her mind, and leaned half of her body out of the pleasure boat: "Chu Anlan!"

On the water surface, no one could be seen except for the ripples on the water.

Liao Fuyu pulled her from behind: "Wanqing, step back a little, if you move forward you will fall into the water!"

At this time, the surface of the river was like wontons, and several young men jumped in one after another.

A flurry of voices rang out—

"An Lan can't swim! Hurry up!" "Hurry up and get a doctor here!"

"Spread out and look for it!"

"..."

Water splashed on the surface of the river.

"Prince Duan?" Liao Fuyu's voice was a little loud.

As the voice fell, Chu Xiaoyan, who was panting on the shore and was about to take off his belt and outer robe, looked over here, but his movements froze.

When he saw Liao Fuyu and Ye Wanqing, he showed a hint of surprise.

The next moment, the man jumped directly into the water.

In the cold winter, a group of teenagers gritted their teeth and struggled in the icy water to look for someone.

On the shore, the atmosphere was tense.

This section of the moat is lined with Jindu's famous teahouses and taverns on both sides, and the water is filled with large and small pleasure boats. Therefore, every year the local Chamber of Commerce raises funds to maintain the river.

Even in winter, the river is fifteen or sixteen feet deep.

Ye Wanqing dug her nails into her flesh.

At this time, Liao Fuyu pointed at a pleasure boat not far away and exclaimed: "Wanqing, isn't that Master Lu?"

Ye Wanqing didn't hear clearly.

She looked in the direction of Liao Fuyu's finger and saw a familiar silver-white figure. Her eyes were blank for a moment, and suddenly she realized that it was Lu Jilian.

Opposite Lu Jilian sat Chu Gongxiao, who was wearing casual clothes, and two other young officials in casual clothes.

Seeing her looking over, Chu Gongxiao seemed to sigh.

Then, three guards walked out of the pleasure boat, jumped off the boat nimbly, and dived into the moat filled with broken ice.

Soon, a young man surfaced. He was so cold that he could hardly speak clearly: "An... An Lan... is over here..."

Then, the water surface became more turbulent and a group of people swam towards that side.

Soon, Chu Anlan was lifted out of the water by several people.

In the night, his face was pale.

Looking at Chu Anlan, whose eyes were closed and motionless, Ye Wanqing seemed to see the ending of her and his previous life.

At this time, Chu Xiaoyan wiped the water off his face, trembling his frozen lips, and pointed at the pleasure boat with one hand: "Princess..."

The others immediately understood what he meant.

A group of people held Chu Anlan and swam to the houseboat where Ye Wanqing was. They pushed Chu Anlan onto the houseboat and hung weakly outside it.

Ye Wanqing immediately went forward to check.

She knelt beside Chu Anlan, her hands trembling, and bent down to check his breath: "Chu Anlan..."

At this time, a young man dressed as a guard climbed up neatly, his lips blue from the cold, "Princess, can you lend me the pleasure boat?"

Ye Wanqing said hoarsely: "Bring him in!"

The guard immediately bent down and hugged the man.

Then, several more young men climbed onto the pleasure boat.

Several people worked together and struggled to carry Chu Anlan into the houseboat. All the tables, chairs and utensils inside were removed, and the doors and windows were closed.

The charcoal fire was crackling.

There were people lying on the floor.

The sturdy young guard said "excuse me", knelt on one knee, and quickly untied Chu Anlan's belt.

Chu Xiaoyan was shaking violently, and looked at Ye Wanqing with a hoarse voice: "Princess..."

"I'll stay here with him." Ye Wanqing's voice trembled slightly, but her expression remained calm.

Chu Xiaoyan's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Liao Fuyu who was following Ye Wanqing.

Liao Fuyu asked him, "Are you cold?"

Chu Xiaoyan didn't say anything, then retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Please step aside."

This is to drive her away.

Just go.

Liao Fuyu patted Ye Wanqing on the shoulder and said, "Wanqing, I'll wait for you outside. Don't worry, Prince Dun will definitely get better."

Ye Wanqing's throat was so dry that she could only nod silently.

The hatch is closed.

On the carpet, Chu Anlan's shirt was completely stripped off, revealing his dazzlingly white skin.

His eyes were closed and his lips were almost bloodless.

The ice blade cut countless tiny scars on his skin, which were oozing blood.
