Nan Yurou and Nan Zhijun fell into the water at the same time. Only Nan Yurou was saved by four or five people. No one paid any attention to Nan Zhijun's struggling in the water. This made the originally calm Seventeen unable to sit still.

"Miss! "Miss!" "Xingyu ran to the edge of the pond and did her best to look inside." Hurry, someone come and save my Young Miss! " Xingyu turned around and beckoned the servants over. She wanted them to help her rescue Nan Zhijun, but no one paid any attention to her.

The group of lackeys with the ability to attract attention were all kneeling before Mrs. Shen and Nan Yurou, not daring to even breathe loudly. Not to mention helping to save him, there wasn't even a single person who dared to turn back.

Xingyu knew that no matter how much she begged for help from those people, it would be useless. Mrs. Shen definitely wouldn't call for help from her master. Looking around, Xingyu gritted her teeth and dived into the pond.

Xingyu knew she couldn't swim, but she couldn't just watch her master struggle in the pond.

Xingyu was sincere. However, her heartfelt feelings did not allow her to instantly become proficient at swimming, much less save Nan Zhijun. After flapping a few times, Xingyu also sunk into the pool.

One master and one servant struggled up and down in the pond full of lotus flowers.

Seventeen thought that if the servants of Nan Family didn't save only Nan Yurou, Nan Zhijun would be saved as well. Who would have thought that Mrs. Shen's authority would be so great, that the dignified Miss Nan drowning in the lotus pond, these servants actually acted as if they didn't see it at all.

17. Originally, I disguised myself as Gou Xiuhao to scout for Nan Zhijun's shrewdness in the name of Murong Jue. Before I managed to find out anything about this news, Nan Zhijun was already drowned in Nan's Estate's lotus pond? If Murong Jue were to know about this, he would directly send him to the border. Then, there would be no place for him in the capital anymore.

Speaking of which, Nan Zhijun wouldn't have fallen into the pond when Nan Yurou pulled Nan Zhijun. If it weren't for the fact that she had used her zhenqi and pushed Nan Zhijun behind her back, Nan Zhijun wouldn't have ended up like this. If something really happened to Nan Zhijun because of this fall, 17's conscience couldn't justify it.

Besides, Nan Zhijun was not the only person in the pond. The loyal girl beside her had also jumped into the pond.

He had originally thought that the young maid knew how to use water. At least she could pull Nan Zhijun out of the water first, so she wouldn't choke too much. Who knew that this little maid wouldn't know how to drink water herself? Relying on her heartfelt feelings for her master, she drilled into the pond without a second word.

"It seems like this young maid isn't very intelligent." Seventeen thought.

Saving someone was more important.

Seventeen jumped into the pond and saved Xingyu who was by the side of the pond.

Xingyu was still flopping in the pond when she suddenly felt her body being lifted up. When she opened her eyes, it was Gou Xiuhao who had carried her out of the water.

"Gou Hanshi, my, my young lady …" Xingyu couldn't care less and hastily pointed in the direction Nan Zhijun was struggling in.

"First, support the railing," Gou Xiuhao sent Xingyu to the edge of the pool, "I will go and save your Miss." With that, he swam towards the depths of the pond.

Seeing that someone had come to save their master, Xingyu heaved a sigh of relief. Unlike the pampered young miss, the maidservant was still conscious even though she had choked a few mouthfuls of water. Xingyu then crawled out from the pool along the stone pillar.

Nan Zhijun had her eyes closed tightly. She raised her head with all her might, trying to get her nose out of the water.

Seventeen looked at Nan Zhijun. From the start, there were a few drops of water on her unparalleled face, making her originally icy skin and jade-like skin look even more fragile. Her delicate and pretty face creased slightly, giving her an intriguing look of worry. Although some of the filth of the pond was hanging between his brows, it was enough to make one's heart palpitate. What a rare beauty. Seventeen thought to herself as she lifted Nan Zhijun's waist and lifted her out of the water.

Nan Zhijun, who had been rescued by seventeen, still hadn't woken up yet. Ignoring the fact that her entire body was drenched, Xingyu ran to see if her master was safe or not.

Seventeen lightly placed Nan Zhijun on the ground. Her face was pale and her eyes were tightly shut. It was hard to tell if she was still breathing. Xingyu was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears when she saw Nan Zhijun like this. However, she didn't know what to do at that moment.

Seventeen fingers were placed in front of Nan Zhijun's nose. Although they were weak, they still had some air to them.

"Tap hard on your master's chest, and help her squeeze out the water she choked on." 17 stood up and said to Xingyu.

Xingyu hurriedly pressed down on Nan Zhijun's chest a few times. It was unknown if it was because Xingyu pressed too hard, or because of something, but Nan Zhijun spat out the water she choked on.

"Miss!" Seeing that Nan Zhijun had woken up, Xingyu was so happy that she didn't know what to say. She could only look at Nan Zhijun with a silly smile, and even forgot to express her gratitude to Nan Zhijun.

Seventeen actually hesitated when he went into the water to save Nan Zhijun. He thought that Nan Zhijun purposely designed this opportunity to create a private conversation with him, but Seventeen didn't expect that this big miss of Nan Family really didn't know any water.

If she had not gone down to save Nan Zhijun, both her and her servant would have perished here today.

17. Nan Zhijun was a schemer and shrewd person, but he had never expected her to put her life on the line in order to create a chance to talk to him alone.

Before this, seventeen only felt that the woman in front of him was very beautiful, had a rich background, and was also good at scheming. But after Nan Zhijun was saved just now, seventeen only realized that the place this great miss of Nan Family was truly worthy of admiration was in fact the kind of decisiveness that, as a woman, would dare to risk everything.

This kind of decisiveness would never appear if it was only for the sake of reputation and power. It seemed like Miss Nan's real goal was not just to seize the limelight. What did she do it for?

Seventeen couldn't help but start to look at Nan Zhijun in a new light.

Nan Zhijun still hadn't completely recovered from the drowning, and her face was still pale. Nan Zhijun held Xingyu's hand tightly, but she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes, let alone speak.

Xingyu hugged Nan Zhijun with a cautious expression on her face, as if she was afraid that someone else would appear and want to harm her young miss. While holding Nan Zhijun's hand, Xingyu carefully took off the duckweed on Nan Zhijun's face and hair.

Nan Zhijun was breathtakingly beautiful even when she was on the verge of death.

Who would have thought that such a simple-looking girl would do such a thing today?

Seventeen asked for a cup of hot tea and gave it to Xingyu.

"Not only did your mistress choke, she was also quite frightened. Give her some hot tea to calm her mind."
