Chapter 225

"Miss Three! Where are you, Miss Three?" Mei Xiang took back her cloak, but she couldn't find Xiangrong. She remembered that when she left, Xiangrong was waiting by the bridge, but why did she disappear when she came back?

Mei Xiang stood on the bridge and looked down. She swept through everything she could get, but still didn't find it.

She thought that it might be too cold for Rong to go back first without any haste. The two of them went apart and then didn't meet him, so they ran back quickly.

But when I went back to the room, I found that Xiangrong hadn't come back at all!

Mei Xiang was anxious now and didn't dare to say anything. She could only go back and search again, but still found nothing.

The little girl was so tired that she was out of breath. She was still rational. After thinking for a while, she went to Tongshengxuan again. She walked straight to the little moon gate in Liuyuan. When she saw the girl watching the night, she quickly asked, "Did you see the third lady coming here?"

The girl got the order and was quite polite to the people in the Anyuan Courtyard. After hearing her question, she shook her head and replied, "No, no one has ever been here for this night. What's wrong? Why did she come here to find the third lady in the middle of the night?"

Mei Xiang stomped her feet in a hurry, "No, I have to go back and tell Aunt An, the third lady is gone!" After that, she turned around and ran away.

An was still in a dream, and when he was called, he was wondering if he was dreaming. He saw Mei Xiang crying in a daze, and couldn't help but ask: "You don't stay by the third lady at night, why are you crying when you run to me?"

Mei Xiang cried too hard and couldn't speak incompletely. She could only tell her personal maid Ping'er: "Mei Xiang just said that the third lady is gone."

"What?" An was shocked and got off the bed. While putting on his clothes, he asked Mei Xiang, "What the hell is going on? Tell me quickly!"

Mei Xiang talked about the incident again and carefully said that by the end, the three of them had left the yard and rushed towards the artificial lake.

"I didn't dare to scream too loudly, for fear of being heard by others. Xu didn't look for it carefully. Please look for it again!"

An was angry and anxious, and couldn't help but twist Mei Xiang and said angrily: "Even the lady can't bear to see her, why are you still leaving a girl like you?"

Mei Xiang knew that she was wrong, so she dared not to argue, so she kept saying: "As long as the third lady is fine, Mei Xiang will let her aunt deal with it."

Ping'er followed and advised An: "Don't worry, auntie, it's important to find the third lady now. Let's go faster!"

The three of them almost trotted to the bridge, but the artificial lake was quiet at night, and there was no trace of a person.

The more An looked, the more desperate she became. In the end, she simply sat by the lake and looked at the quiet lake water, and she felt the urge to jump down. If Ping'er hadn't discovered something wrong with her in time, she would have fallen into the water.

At this time, Mei Xiang shouted not far away: "Come and see!"

The two of them were shocked and quickly got up and ran to the place. At that time, they saw Mei Xiang pointing to a place by the lake, her face turned pale and said tremblingly: "Look at this stone, has it been trampled on?"

After she said this, An and Ping'er also looked at it carefully. Sure enough, a half-large stone was obviously half-stepped, and the brand new stone stubble was exposed outside, which was shocking.

"Ping'er." An suddenly calmed down. Although his body was still a little trembling, he was no longer as panicked as before. "Go to inform the old lady and say... the third lady fell into the water and ask the old lady to help her."

"Yes." Ping'er responded, then strode and ran towards Shuyayuan.

The news that the third lady fell into the water soon spread throughout the mansion. Apart from the butler He Zhong and the subordinates in the mansion, the first one for the masters to come over was Shenyu.

When she saw her reaching the lake, she only glanced at An, then turned her eyes to the lake. She stared blankly for a while, and then asked Yilin beside her in a low voice: "You said, how deep is the lake?"

Yilin replied: "I have heard from Butler He before that the largest artificial lake in the mansion is nine feet deep."

"Nine-foot." A smile appeared on the corner of the deep fish's lips, "Nine-foot deep water, the little man who wants to fall down will definitely drown, right?"

Yilin was stunned. She remembered that the third lady was always a person who was silent, and seemed to have no direct conflict with the eldest lady. Why did the eldest lady say such words?

On the other side, He Zhong had sent a servant with a good water quality to jump into the lake to find someone.

There is a circulation port at the bottom of the artificial lake in Fengfu. The water is alive, but it does not freeze even though it is in the severe winter. However, anyone who jumps down will choke. No matter how good the water is, it will not be able to withstand the freezing.

The servants jumped down and crawled up after a while, and their lips were purple and their limbs were stiff.

Shenyu walked forward two steps, and the Bodhisattva looked at the people who went into the water and said, "The water is too cold, they are also humans, and they will freeze to death."

The servants looked at Chen Yu gratefully, as if this young lady was Guanyin who saved the suffering. No one had ever cared about their life or death, only the young lady could do it. Although it was just a word, in the hearts of these servants, they would feel warm even on such winter nights.

However, just as this gratitude began, An heard An shouting: "Go and get the soju! You just need to search and rescue the third lady in the lake, and each person will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"

There must be a brave man under heavy rewards. The words of An, those who were still moved by the words of the fish were immediately shocked. Without saying a word, they turned their heads and stabbed them into the water again.

What kind of life is all bullshit in front of fifty taels of silver. They do a hard work for the Feng Mansion, and the monthly wage is only 2 taels, and fifty taels are two years of wages. What are they still concerned about?

So, the search and rescue work for Xiangrong was truly the beginning.

When the old lady came, she saw a group of watery servants swimming around the lake, and there was also a better water quality and diving directly to find it.

The old lady nodded, "The Feng family just needs such a slave."

He Zhong felt a little guilty and thought to himself that if Aunt An had promised money, who would have looked for it like this!

Unfortunately, the search and rescue work in ancient times was too difficult. Without lights, what could you see clearly by just the moonlight? A group of people searched in the water for a long time, but they didn't get any gains.

Some people couldn't stand the cold, so they climbed ashore to drink a sip of wine, and then dived into the water for a while. After all this, the old lady was anxious to see.

"Am, come here." The old lady was sitting in a soft chair and was unable to move, so she could only call An to her side, "Let me ask you, what do you want to run out in the middle of the night? Why don't you look at it?"

An was almost crazy and didn't care about talking about these things to the old lady. She had no good temper at the moment, so she just replied casually: "She can't sleep and wants to see the second lady." After that, she was about to walk back to the lake.

The old lady yelled in anger: "Stop it!"

An was stunned and stood there.

"How brave are they? They dare to show off my face? An, are you crazy?"

An suddenly turned around, and his pair of angrily eyes that had never happened before glared at the old lady, which scared her to tremble-"What are you doing?"

"Old lady." An opened her mouth and asked her in confusion: "Your granddaughter fell into the water. You don't care whether she is dead or alive. At this time, you can pursue my right or wrong. Why is this? Even if the third lady is a concubine's daughter, she is also your biological granddaughter. Don't you feel sorry for her?"

"Why don't I feel sorry?" The old lady was so angry that she trembled: "Are you looking for all of this? If you are anxious, I can still jump down and find it together? You guys ran out in the middle of the night without sleeping. Something went wrong made the whole mansion feel uneasy, but now they are still asking me?"

"I didn't question the old lady, I just felt sad for the third lady." It's really heartbreaking to be born in such a family.

"Auntie, I've discovered it!" Before the old lady could speak again, Mei Xiang suddenly shouted loudly, "Look at me, auntie, these are the third lady's shoes!"

An rushed over and saw Mei Xiang holding a water-dripping shoe in her hand. The pink brocade was made by her hands when she first entered winter this year.

Originally, she was still holding a glimmer of hope, thinking that Xiangrong might not have fallen into the water, but now when she saw this shoe, An's last hope was shattered.

The strong tense nerve collapsed instantly, and when his legs became weak, the person sat on the ground.

Ping'er was so scared that she rushed to pounce, but at this moment, another servant who came out of the water shouted loudly: "Look, is this handkerchief from Miss Third?"

Everyone turned their heads to see that Mei Xiang was most familiar with what she wanted to Rong and recognized the handkerchief at a glance. It was the one I wanted to Rong when she came out tonight.

"My daughter—" An collapsed and burst into tears.

The people in the water gradually got ashore, and even if they had a heavy reward, their physical strength was at its limit.

Chenyu quickly ordered: "Go and get the blanket." He refuted everyone's gratitude.

A servant who is considered to be physically strong and can barely stand up and reply to the masters, but he saw him say to the old lady: "I'm afraid it's too deep, the lake is too big, and it's dark at night, so I can't find it."

The old lady nodded, "It's indeed more difficult." Looking at An, who was crying with a broken heart, she remembered what she said, "You guys can't help but sigh in her heart, "You guys can go slowly, and search again later."

The old lady had spoken, and what else could the servant say, so she could nod and helplessly get warm.

At this time, in Han's yard, Fan Dai was standing in front of Han's bed and shaking her hard: "Get up quickly! I want to let something happen, everyone has come over to see it, how can you still sleep?"

Aju said carefully to Fan Dai: "My aunt has been sleeping heavily in recent days and is lazy than usual."

Fan Dai didn't understand what this meant, and didn't think much about it. She was still shaking Han's voice a little higher: "Get up! Get up quickly-"

The last sound was louder in Han's ear. The person who was originally "sleeping" on the couch could no longer pretend and woke up in a daze. "Miss Four? Why are you here?" She asked while looking out, "Is it dawn?"

"What's bright!" Fan Dai rolled her eyes in anger, "I've called you for a long time, why didn't I wake up?"

Han stretched his waist and said helplessly: "Didn't you always say I'm pregnant? Pregnant people are sleepy. This is a normal phenomenon."

"Is that true?" Fandai didn't understand.

Han nodded, "It was the same when I was pregnant with you."

Fandai's eyes lit up, "So, is it really there?"

"I'm not a doctor." Han thought for a while and said, "Let's go in a few days. When the pulse is stable and then ask the doctor to come to the mansion to take a look. The days are still short, so don't be inaccurate."

"Yes, yes." Fandai nodded repeatedly, "I'm not afraid of being late, it's true to be accustomed. Okay, you lie down, I'll go by myself."

"Well, then be careful. The lakeside is dangerous, don't get too close."
