"Cough, cough …" Although it was summer, the afternoon wind was very chilly. Nan Yurou was drenched again, and as a gust of cold wind blew by, she couldn't help but cough.

"Quick, help Miss back to her room to change!" Mrs. Shen saw that Nan Yurou was slightly affected by the wind and was afraid that she might fall ill. She immediately ordered the maidservants to escort her back to her room and change her clothes.

Nan Yurou was Mrs. Shen's only daughter. Everyone knew that Mrs. Shen loved her. Nan Yurou had just fallen into the water and was accidentally blown by the wind. Mrs. Shen's heart was completely tied to her precious daughter, and she couldn't care less about anything else. Naturally, it was her intention to save Nan Yurou and not Nan Zhijun when the servants went into the water to save them.

Mrs. Shen couldn't stand up to Nan Zhijun, but it was this Nan Zhijun who repeatedly caused trouble for her mother and daughter. This time, Nan Yurou fell into the water. Although it was Nan Yurou who pulled Nan Zhijun first, if it wasn't for Nan Zhijun grabbing Nan Yurou's arm, how could Mrs. Shen's precious daughter fall into the water and lose face in front of Murong Yan's trusted aide Gou Xiuhao?

Obviously, Mrs. Shen had long blamed Nan Zhijun for Nan Yurou's fall into the water today.

On the other side, Mrs. Shen called a group of servants to follow her, leaving the lotus pond in a hurry. She prepared to return to her room to change into a bath and go out for a chill. On the other side, Nan Zhijun was still being held by a young maid. She was sitting on the ground, barely breathing. Even now, her eyes had yet to open.

Mrs. Shen was too busy taking care of Nan Yurou that she didn't have time to care about anything else. Now, she couldn't care less about Gou Xiuhao and Nan Zhijun, giving Nan Zhijun and Gou Xiuhao a chance to talk alone.

Xingyu hugged the Nan Zhijun who had a weak breath. Her master was originally very poor in water, and he had fallen into water twice in a row in a short period of time. Although he had saved her for a while, he still refused to open his eyes.

Logically speaking, since she had fallen into the water, she should first take Nan Zhijun back to her room. First, she should change out of her wet clothes, put her clothes on the bed to have a good rest, cover herself with a blanket, wipe herself with a hot towel, and then heat up a pot of tea to wait for her. Nan Zhijun's aura was still there, so she shouldn't be too injured.

However, now that all the servants had left with Mrs. Shen, there was no way for Xingyu to bring Nan Zhijun back to her room alone, let alone change her clothes or make her a pot of hot tea.

Xingyu was heartfelt. When she saw Nan Zhijun's haggard appearance, she was extremely anxious. She even started to tear up.

"I beg young master to save my Young Miss! I beg the Young Master to definitely save her! " Xingyu raised her head and saw Gou Xiuhao. It was as if he was begging for Gou Xiuhao to save her miss.

What could Gou Xiuhao do? A man and a woman were both wet all over. He couldn't tell her to carry Nan Zhijun back to her room, right?

He was fine, but this Nan Zhijun, the eldest daughter of the Southern General, was an innocent young lady. If this matter were to spread, it would be unpleasant to hear. But naturally, seventeen would not sit idly by and watch him die.

Gou Xiuhao asked for a cup of hot tea from the place where they were having their meal and gave it to Xingyu. He told her to serve the Miss of his house first.

Xingyu took the teacup and carefully placed it next to Nan Zhijun's mouth.

Nan Zhijun feebly opened her red lips, as if she had used up all the energy in her body. Warm tea flowed down Nan Zhijun's lips into Nan Zhijun's mouth. Slowly, Nan Zhijun's face lost its paleness and gradually regained its color.

Nan Zhijun raised her gaze as her consciousness gradually returned to her.

The lotus pond that was previously bustling with noise and excitement was now so quiet that it caused one to only hear the cicadas chirping noisily. Looking around, only Xingyu and Gou Xiuhao were beside Nan Zhijun.

Seeing this, Nan Zhijun was even more certain of her guess. The Gou Xiuhao in front of her was definitely not entrusted to her by Murong Yan. There must be someone else backing him up.

Although Murong Yan seemed to be more interested in Nan Zhijun at the moment, he was, after all, supporting Mrs. Shen. Whether it was Murong Yan himself, or Murong Yan's trusted men, they all had to give Mrs. Shen face.

Nan Zhijun remembered pulling on someone before she fell into the water, and that person was pulled into the pond with her.

At that time, Gou Xiuhao was talking to Mrs. Shen and was still far away from him. Although Gou Xiuhao was also drenched, the one who fell into the water with him was definitely not him.

He had previously instructed Xingyu to wait right where she was. Xingyu had always listened to her and had never dared to disobey her orders. Therefore, even though Xingyu's clothes were still wet, she definitely wouldn't have fallen into the water with him.

Originally, they had come together to admire the lotus flowers, but now, other than Xingyu, no one else could be seen. Something big must have happened. If a maid had been dragged into the water by him, there might not be a single person present right now. After all, Mrs. Shen and Nan Yurou were eager to personally see Nan Zhijun make a fool of herself.

The only explanation was that the person who fell into the water with him was actually Nan Family's second young miss, Mrs. Shen's precious treasure — — Nan Yurou!

After pulling Nan Yurou into the water, Mrs. Shen became extremely anxious and hurriedly sent all of her servants to save Nan Yurou, but because she hated him for pulling Nan Yurou into the water, she didn't send anyone to save her. Xingyu saw herself struggling, but no one came to help her, so she jumped into the pond in a panic.

Gou Xiuhao, who was on the shore, was sent by someone else to scout my background. Right now, he didn't receive any valuable information, so he rescued the two of us and landed us together.

If Gou Xiuhao was really called over by Murong Yan, then when Nan Zhijun fell into the water, Xingyu wouldn't have gone into the water to save her. Furthermore, he would not be going against Mrs. Shen over and over again this afternoon. It was time to take care of Nan Yurou with Mrs. Shen and not stay by his side.

Therefore, Nan Zhijun was sure that this Gou Xiuhao was not Murong Yan's trusted aide. Or it could be said that this Gou Xiuhao coming to my Nan's Estate today, was not due to Murong Yan's intentions.
