Chapter 104
To the west of the city, Bilin Pond.

The gentle breeze blows the water in the pool to make faint ripples, and the lotus flowers in the pool are blooming gracefully, and the lotus leaves in the pool are as green as jade.

Xiao Ying, who was standing by the pool, had no intention of admiring the picturesque scenery.

She twisted the handkerchief in her hand, looking at the crowd passing by in the distance, with a look of anxiety in her eyes.

The maid Suxiang who was following behind her was looking left and right, her face full of uneasiness.

"Miss, let's go back." Suxiang persuaded anxiously: "The old lady finally let you out, if she finds out that you left the house privately, I'm afraid she will be angry again."

The sun was rising and the heat couldn't be concealed. Xiao Ying was waiting impatiently. Hearing this, she immediately turned her head and scolded: "You have room to comment on my affairs? If you want to leave, go back to the house as soon as possible, and don't get in the way of me in the future. !"

Su Xiang panicked, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty: "Su Xiang dare not, it's just that Madam told me that it's better for Miss to act cautiously these days..."

How dare you move out her mother?
Xiao Ying raised her almond eyes and was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Immediately a look of joy appeared on her face, her brows and eyes were shy, she first swayed, and then stretched out the corners of her clothes, as if she couldn't wait to see her sweetheart.

When he was about to step forward, he remembered Su Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, and kicked her impatiently: "Get up quickly! In case His Highness Duke Huai sees me and misunderstands me as someone who treats his servants harshly , See if I don't peel your skin off!"

His Highness Duke Huai? !
Su Xiang's face tightened, her young lady actually came out to have a private meeting with a foreigner!

She wanted to persuade her again, but Xiao Ying no longer gave her a chance, and walked towards a figure in the distance with a smile on her face.

Su Xiang could only grit her teeth and follow, praying secretly in her heart that no one else would see this matter.

Otherwise, not only will Xiao Ying's reputation be damaged, but she will suffer even more...

The master and servant had different thoughts and were walking along the pool, but suddenly a few people rushed over, facing Xiao Ying's direction.

Su Xiang didn't have time to remind her, she was pushed back two steps, and could only watch helplessly as Xiao Ying was knocked into the pool.

"Miss!"

Su Xiang was completely panicked, she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Just at this time, a slightly startled male voice came: "Miss Xiao—"

Immediately afterwards, the man jumped into the pool and swam towards the direction where Xiao Ying fell into the water.

Xiao Ying was splashing in the water, when she found that someone was coming to save her, she immediately wrapped her hands and feet around her, and the sound of choking on the water was rough and unpleasant.

"Help me...quickly save me..."

It was none other than Zhao Yan who jumped into the water to save someone.

At this time, the woman's delicate body was in his arms, but he frowned, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

However, after entering the water, all of the woman's long hair stuck to her face, making it difficult for him to distinguish her face. Moreover, he had no time to recognize her face while still in the water, so he had to carry the woman ashore first.

On the bank, Suxiang was astonished after hearing Zhao Yan's voice.

The person who fell into the water was obviously her family's young lady, why would His Highness Duke Huai call Miss Xiao?

Is it a mistake, or...

With a trembling in her heart, Su Xiang didn't dare to think about it any further, and when she saw Zhao Yan taking Xiao Ying ashore, she rushed forward immediately.

"Miss, are you alright!"

Su Xiang supported the drenched Xiao Ying, and asked in a trembling voice.

Zhao Yan managed the timing very well, Xiao Ying just choked on a few saliva, how could there be any serious problems?
She didn't care about answering Suxiang, and first bowed to Zhao Yanyingying who was also dressed in wet clothes: "Thank you, Yinger...cough cough...thank you His Highness Duke Huai for saving your life..."

She still wanted to appear weak and lovable, but she didn't know that her appearance at this time was only in a state of embarrassment.

Hearing the word "Ying'er", Zhao Yan's face darkened, and the ominous premonition in his heart really came true.

It's just that he was still unwilling, so he reached out his hands unwillingly to brush away the messy hair on Xiao Ying's face, but after only looking at it, he immediately looked away, and even wiped his hands with the corner of his clothes.

"How could it be you?" Zhao Yan looked disgusted and didn't even want to look at Xiao Ying.

The undisguised dislike made Xiao Ying's eyes widen in disbelief, and there were tears in her grievance: "What's the meaning of this, Your Highness? Obviously you invited Ying'er to come here."

In order to meet Zhao Yan, she specially dressed up carefully, but unfortunately, after soaking in the pool, all the makeup was smudged away, and she could only see the red and white makeup marks on her face, which looked terribly dirty.

The delicate and beautiful beauty that was painstakingly created, did not leave the slightest.

Opposite Xiao Ying, Zhao Yan's eyes were dark, and his face was ugly as if he was about to kill someone.

He was not stupid, so he naturally guessed that Xiao Ruan must have done something wrong.

What a Xiao Ruan, plot against him everywhere!
The veins on the back of Zhao Yan's hands were bulging, and he gritted his teeth and said her name silently.

The more this is the case, the more he wants to get Xiao Ruan.

For such a smart and proud woman, the appearance of a female lying under her body must be particularly touching!

Violence flashed across his eyes, and when he turned to Xiao Ying, he had returned to normal, and said perfunctorily, "I didn't make an appointment with Miss Xiao Er, but it's a good thing to save someone by chance. I don't need to worry about the reputation of Miss Er in the future." Let me mention it again. This king still has important matters, so he left first."

"Your Highness—"

Coming here full of expectations, how could Xiao Ying accept this result?
She stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhao Yan's sleeve, and forced out a smile: "Your Highness saved Ying'er's life. It's out of reason, and Ying'er should thank the lord. Why don't the lord go back to Xiao's mansion with Yinger, and exchange Drinking a bowl of ginger soup in one piece of clothing will prevent the cold from invading the body..."

"No need, the king still has important matters..."

The two wanted to leave and the other was entangled, when they suddenly heard a clear voice: "Grandmother, look, the lotus in Bilin Pond is well-known? Hey, why does the person over there look like the second sister?"

Xiao Ying's face turned pale, and she looked tremblingly at the old lady not far away.

The memory of being locked in the house and unable to go out flooded her mind again, she was fearful and hated at the same time, staring at Xiao Ruan who was helping the old lady.

He even forgot to loosen Zhao Yan's sleeves.

The old lady was originally admiring the flowers in a happy mood, when she heard Xiao Ruan's words, she narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction where Xiao Ying was standing.

After recognizing that the woman in distress was indeed Xiao Ying, who was also tugging at the man's sleeve, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.

"Ruan'er, help me over there!"

She tapped her cane hard, with a look of anger on her face.

Xiao Ruan responded, helped the old lady to go forward, and glanced at the two of them calmly.

The summer is hot, and the clothes on the two of them are no longer dripping at this moment, and they are crumpled and stuck to their bodies. It is obvious that they have fallen into the water.

She frowned slightly, it turned out that Zhao Yan had this plan in mind.

Invite her to come here in the name of Huo Xun, and then plan to make her fall into the water, and rescue her by himself.

At that time, the two of them will have a physical relationship, even if she wants to marry Huo Xun, she can't do it.

Unfortunately, his wishful thinking is doomed to fail.

Xiao Ruan pursed her lips mockingly, turned her eyes away, and only stood quietly beside the old lady, without making a sound.

"His Royal Highness Duke Huai?" As he got closer, the old lady recognized that the man being pulled by Xiao Ying was actually Prince Huai Zhao Yan.She was slightly surprised, and had to suppress her anger for the time being, and said in a deep voice: "I am old and my eyes are dim, I didn't recognize His Highness Duke Huai, if I was rude, I hope His Highness will forgive me."

"Grandmother, just now when my granddaughter fell into the water, it was His Highness Duke Huai who rescued my granddaughter. My granddaughter is about to ask him to come over to the house, so that my father can thank me for me."

Xiao Ying knew that Zhao Yan had no feelings for her, but she couldn't care too much at this moment, so she explained to the old lady before Zhao Yan could speak.

Even if the old lady does not love her as much as before, she still has to worry about the reputation of the Xiao family, and she has to help herself out of emotion and reason, so that Zhao Yan can marry herself.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she fell into the water and was about to lose her innocence, but was rescued by Zhao Yan. Now that the two of them have a physical relationship, naturally they cannot marry anyone else.

And Zhao Yan is His Royal Highness Duke Huai, and she is also the person of her heart. If she cannot seize this excellent opportunity, she may never have the possibility of marrying this person in the future.

Thinking that she could take this opportunity to become Princess Huai, Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Ruan with faint complacency.

As long as she becomes Princess Huai, let's see if this woman dares to be arrogant in front of her!
Zhao Yan frowned when he heard Xiao Ying's words.

He wanted to get away as soon as possible, but he didn't want to be bumped into by Mrs. Xiao.

If Mrs. Xiao must let herself give an explanation...

Zhao Yan immediately pulled his arm out of Xiao Ying's arms!

"Miss Xiao is really polite. I said just now that I saved you with a little effort, so don't worry about Mrs. Xiao."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's face darkened immediately, and she gave Xiao Ying a disappointed look.

She knew that this granddaughter was not a peaceful person, and she had a relationship with Zhao Yan just after she was released from house arrest.

And this Zhao Yan obviously took advantage of his granddaughter's innocence, and even pretended to be in front of her. He was really deceiving people too much, and he didn't take their Xiao family seriously.

Mrs. Xiao narrowed her eyes, a gleam flashed in her cloudy eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness Huai, if you hadn't saved my granddaughter, I'm afraid her innocence would be ruined, such an important kindness... , how could the old man not take it to heart, why not go back to the house with us and sit for a while, so that the old man can come up with a way to thank you."

"This……"

A look of embarrassment quickly flashed across Zhao Yan's face.

I thought that Mrs. Xiao would hear his implication, and make big things into small things, but the other party gave him a soft nail.

Talking about "such an important kindness" is nothing more than letting him marry Xiao Ying.

Looking up at Xiao Ruan who was beside Mrs. Xiao, a gloomy streak flashed across Zhao Yan's deep eyes.

It's fine that this woman didn't come to the appointment, but she actually set him up again!

In a moment of carelessness, he mistook Xiao Ying for Xiao Ruan and took her innocence. As long as he refused to admit it, it would be a trivial matter.

But Xiao Ruan brought Mrs. Xiao to come together and caught the two of them, just to force her to make a decision.

In her eyes, the Xiao Mansion has nothing useful, except for Xiao Ruan, other people are not worthy of him wasting the position of princess, but if this matter gets out, it will only damage her reputation.

Taking a hard look at Xiao Ruan, who was calm and composed, Zhao Yan squeezed out a smile on his face.
