In that split-second, Jin Lan didn't even have time to think as he reached out to grab her. Fortunately, Jin Lan was afraid of falling, so he grabbed onto the fence with his other hand.

Right at the moment when Ye Jinxian's legs were on the boat and Jin Lan was about to heave a sigh of relief, Ye Jinxian's hand swung with force, causing the bottom of Jin Lan's foot that was standing on tiptoe to fall.

"Sister Jinlan!" Meng Ruhan cried out in shock, and extended her hand to pull her leg, but unexpectedly, although Jin Lan was weak, his body was not light, and adding the momentum of his descent, she actually brought Meng Ruhan down.

In the blink of an eye, all of this happened without waiting for the servant girls to react. When Hui Xiu and Wan Ju rushed over, they only heard two "putong" sounds in succession, and a large splash on the calm surface of the lake.

Wan Ju was startled, her face suddenly changed as she anxiously shouted: "Quickly save the young lady!" As she spoke, she immediately jumped down.

Lan Xiang and the rest were all shocked, upon hearing Wan Ju's shout, they regained their senses, but the servants on the boat, other than Wan Ju, no one knew how to swim. Lan Xiang remembered what she said to Bin Jin earlier and immediately raised her head to look at the lakeside. In the end, she did not see a single person. Just as she was about to jump into the lake with a deathly pale face, she heard a very faint sound of her body falling into the water.

Even at noon, the lake waters of early autumn were still cold. As soon as Jin Lan fell into the lake, he choked on two mouthfuls of water. The brocade on his body sucked in the water before he heavily plummeted to the bottom of the lake. Although she was struggling in pain, in her mind she saw Ye Jinxian's pale and terrified little face right before she fell into the water.

That swing was too sudden, causing her to have no choice but to become suspicious. However, Ye Jinxian's panicking eyes were not faking it.

The lake water poured into Jin Lan's mouth and nose. His head and chest felt like they were about to explode. At this moment, she didn't have any time to think, her hands unceasingly splashed around in the water. She remembered that Wan Ju knew how to drink. As long as she could hold on for a little longer, she would definitely come down to save her!

However, when she used up all her strength, her consciousness had already started to blur. She still did not wait for someone to save her.

Was she going to die just like that? Jin Lan's heart went cold.

No, he couldn't give up! Heaven didn't bring her back to experience death again!

He had to persevere, he had to persevere!

Maybe she had gone deep, Wan Ju needed some time to find her, maybe in the next moment she would be able to save her!

As long as he could hold on for a little longer, he would definitely survive!

The suffocating pain made Jin Lan's consciousness become more and more blurry. She used her last bit of strength and randomly tried to grab onto something, but other than the cold lake water, there was nothing.

A sliver of despair surfaced in her heart. Just as she was about to sink into darkness, she vaguely saw someone swimming towards her. The thought to survive made her stretch out her hand powerlessly …

Although Wan Ju knew how to swim, she was not proficient at it. She jumped into the lake to feel around and grabbed a few pieces of the floating brocade. Hui Xiu and the rest had pale faces, staring intently at the lake surface. Seeing that Wan Ju had appeared, they immediately extended the boat pole towards him.

Wan Ju forced herself to lean on the boat, wiping the water on her face and coughed twice, and with the help of the rest of the people, she dragged the person who was rescued onto the boat.

"Miss!" When Lan Xiang saw that peach-red arm, she immediately cried out. Fortunately Wan Ju had saved him in time, so although Meng Ruhan had choked on a few mouthfuls of water, she was safe and sound. She covered her mouth and kept coughing, "Jin, Jin Lan, little sister … "How is it?"

When they mentioned Jin Lan, everyone's expression changed again. Wan Ju saw that the one who was saving wasn't his lady, but had gone into the water to look for her. Hui Xiu bit her lips tightly, her face ashen. How, how could she explain this to his wife!

"Don't worry Sister Ruhan, Second Sister has her own destiny. She will definitely be safe." Ye Jinwei consoled Meng Ruhan with a gentle voice. There was a bit of worry on her face but there was a faint excitement in her eyes.

Ye Jinxian trembled as she leaned into Hui Zi's embrace, staring at the lake with red eyes, tears flowing down her cheeks. She cried softly, even her lips were trembling.

After a while, the surface of the calm lake surged, Wan Ju struggled to lift her head up to the surface and could not help but ask: "Did you find a girl?"

Wan Ju powerlessly shook her head. With a loud bang, her legs went soft, and she fell on the ground. Wan Ju who was immersed in the cold lake, could no longer stop shivering, but clenched her teeth, took a deep breath, and dove again.

In the end, even when Wan Ju was completely exhausted and was dragged onto the pleasure boat, he still could not find the Jin Lan.

Despair surfaced on all of the servant girls' faces. Ye Family young lady was a noble guest invited by the mistress, and now that something had happened before their eyes, how could the mistress forgive them? and Wan Ju, on the other hand, wished that they could just throw themselves into the lake and die. Even Meng Ruhan's face was ashen as she cried out loud.

"Is it Fifth Sister in front of us?" A path suddenly opened up in Lian Ye's field of vision. A boat that was about the same size as Meng Ruhan and the rest, but about twice the size, started moving slowly towards them from within the jade-green leaves.

"B-big brother, save me!" Hearing the voice, Meng Ruhan, who was covering her face and crying, suddenly raised her head. Looking in the direction of the voice, her red eyes were filled with strong hope, as though she was a drowning person grabbing onto a straw to save a life. She shouted without caring about anything: "Sister Jinlan has fallen into the water, Big Brother, quickly save her!"

Everyone looked up, at the bow of the ship, stood a man in an autumn robe, about 14 or 15 years old. He was tall and thin, had a pretty face, wore a five bats robe with dark lines embroidered on it, had his hair tied up simply, and looked very scholarly.

When the cruise liner came closer and their bows were facing each other, Lan Xiang quickly blessed herself and said, "Eldest Young Master."

Meng Zhanxuan waved his hands, his eyes clear and bright, helplessly looking at Meng Ruhan who was crying until his eyes were red and swollen, "Don't cry first, let's see if this person is the Sister Jinlan you spoke of?"

Meng Ruhan's wailing stopped, she looked behind Meng Zhanxuan, at the deck covered in bamboo mats, there lay a wet person, in a red dress, with a pale face and closed eyes, if it was not Jin Lan, then who else could it be?

"Miss!" Hui Xiu's eyes lit up, she struggled to get up and bowed towards Meng Zhanxuan, and anxiously said: "Young Master Meng, please have this servant take care of my family's miss."

Meng Ruhan also stood up, and shouted that she wanted to go over, but Lan Xiang was scared stiff, afraid that she might accidentally fall back into the lake, so she pulled her and did not let go.

Meng Zhanxuan shook his head, as if he was not surprised by this, and said: "Fifth sister, let's quickly go back. Even though the girl had choked on the water, the doctor still had to take a look at her. There is a bright red light here, you don't have to worry. "

"Young master Meng." Hui Xiu suddenly kowtowed to Meng Zhanxuan, and said: "Let this servant go!"

Meng Zhanxuan looked at Hui Xiu who had a determined face, and then looked at the cabin with an unknown expression, after pondering for a moment, he nodded his head, and asked Hui Xiu to come over.

As they spoke, the two pleasure boats sailed towards the pavilion. After they landed, they found an empty courtyard and arranged for Jin Lan to enter. Meng Zhanxuan sent the Attendant to get a doctor, while Lan Xiang instructed the old granny who was guarding the courtyard to report to the Madame Qin, then sent some people back to the courtyard to get some clean clothes.

Fortunately, Meng Ruhan and Jin Lan were similar in size, so changing into Meng Ruhan's clothes first was also possible. As for Wan Ju, he was also going to let the servant take her to change out of her drenched clothes.

While Madame Qin was chatting and laughing with Madame SHen, Ruan Shi, and the other wives from the Yangzhou City, suddenly, the capable Steward Wang Mama rushed in and whispered a few words into her ear. Madame Qin's expression changed as she looked at Madame SHen, his eyes filled with impatience and apology.

Madame SHen's heart thumped, she immediately felt unsettled, and quickly asked softly: "Is there something wrong?"

The Madame Qin frowned and said worriedly: "The girls are playing, I wonder how they ended up in the lake."

Madame SHen's expression suddenly changed, and she stood up abruptly, "Do you know who fell into the lake?" Heaven bless, it must not be Lan Er.

Madame Qin also could not sit still anymore, she raised her hand and called for Qing Yu, "It's my Fifth Girl and Jin Lan, but Fifth Girl is fine, just Jin Lan is …"

"Huh?" Madame SHen felt her vision go black, and almost fell to the ground. Luckily Qing Yu was there to support her in time to avoid this awkward situation.

Seeing Madame SHen's reaction, Ruan Ruan naturally guessed that Jin Lan was Madame SHen's daughter. She then said with a hint of schadenfreude: "Let's quickly go and take a look, just what is going on? How did the maids and wives take care of the young mistress? "

By the time Madame Qin and the rest had arrived, Jin Lan and Meng Ruhan had already changed into dry clothes, and even their hair were wrung dry. Due to being able to squash the water in his chest in time, although Jin Lan's face was pale, he had still regained his senses, and was being served by Hui Xiu. He took small sips of the steaming hot ginger soup.

Meng Ruhan was naturally holding a blue and white flower bowl as well, as she was being stared at by Mama Dong to drink the ginger soup, while Ye Jinwei and Ye Jinxian quietly sat on the small Wooden Pellet.

"Lan Er!" Seeing her daughter's small haggard face, Madame SHen's eyes turned red, she quickly walked to the bed, and upon seeing this, Hui Xiu could only retreat to the side. Madame SHen reached out and held Jin Lan's hand, instantly feeling that his fingertips were ice-cold. He couldn't help but say with a pained heart: "Didn't you say you were going to enjoy the chrysanthemums? How did he fall into the lake when he was just fine? "

When the Madame Qin heard him, his face turned unnatural for a moment, he glared at Meng Ruhan who was seated at the side and said guiltily: It's all my fault, my fifth daughter. She originally said that she would go to the chrysanthemum garden, but in the end she dragged Jin Lan and the rest to Pi Lian Lake on the way, that's how it happened. With that, he turned to Meng Ruhan and scolded him: "It's all my fault for bringing you up to date, is the lake something that you can casually play around with? Hurry up and apologize to your aunt and Sister Jinlan! "

This time, Meng Ruhan was truly frightened, and seeing Jin Lan's weak and pale appearance, she did not feel good, so she obediently stood up and faced Madame SHen and Jin Lan, and said faintly with a weeping voice: "Aunt, Sister Jinlan, it's all my fault, no matter what punishment I get, I will accept it."

Jin Lan knew that the fault was not with Meng Ruhan, so he opened his mouth and spoke with a hoarse voice: "What is Sister Ruhan doing? It's my own carelessness, not my sister's fault. " As he said that, he gave Hui Xiu a meaningful glance.

Hui Xiu looked at Madame SHen hesitantly, and upon seeing her nod, he hurriedly helped her up.

Madame Qin hurried forward and said, "The doctor should be here soon. Let Jin Lan rest here and see what the doctor has to say before making any plans. What do you think?"

Madame SHen thought for a bit, and decided that it was the only way to go about it. If she went back to her home, it would take too long.

After Madame Qin finished making the arrangements, she brought Meng Ruhan and the other ladies who wanted to watch the show and left the courtyard. Madame SHen also let Ye Jinwei and Ye Jinxian go down to rest, leaving Hui Xiu and Wan Ju to wait upon them in the room.

Jin Lan had already expended his energy in the water, and he had been frightened. Now that he had finished drinking the ginger soup, he felt dizzy, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Just then, a figure slowly appeared before her. If she remembered correctly, the figure that saved her looked very familiar. It seemed to be a man, but who was that person?
