Chapter 108 Qin Wan Falls into the Water

Han Shu only knew that they hadn't returned for two days, but she didn't know why. Hearing Su Yan'er say this, she suddenly became nervous.

"For the sake of Yunzhou?" Han Shu asked rhetorically, her anxiety evident on her face.

"When the Marquis left, he only told me that he had official business to attend to, without saying anything specific. Who told you that?"

Su Yan'er's heart trembled slightly; judging from her aunt's expression, she probably knew nothing.

My uncle didn't say anything specific when he left.

Now she's unsure if it's really because of what happened in Yunzhou.

Su Yan'er didn't dare to speak carelessly, so she just mumbled a few words.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm just guessing. My second brother and the others just sent me news about Xiaosheng a few days ago, he'll definitely be fine!"

Han Shu breathed a sigh of relief, genuinely believing that the incident had occurred in Yunzhou.

"We were worrying too much. Ye'er will be fine with us on this trip to Yunzhou!"

"Yes, nothing will happen!"

Su Yan'er repeated the sentence, but the unease in her heart just wouldn't go away. She didn't know why, but perhaps she would only feel at ease when she actually saw her second brother return.

Han Shu knew that Su Yan'er was worried about Qin Lang. After all, Su Yan'er kept calling him "Second Brother," and Han Shu wasn't deaf, so she could naturally tell that Su Yan'er was worried.

She gently patted him and said, "Yan'er, Lang'er will definitely be alright, you don't need to worry. You're all grown up now, you'll be seventeen next year. If you're interested, when Lang'er comes back, your aunt will arrange things between the two of you!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yan'er immediately blushed, even her ears turned red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head, not daring to look up.

"Auntie~"

Her shy remark made Han Shu chuckle.

Why are you shy?

"Auntie, you're so annoying!"

Su Yan'er's face turned very red with embarrassment, just like a young girl who had never experienced the pleasures of life.

What Han Shu didn't know was that she and her second brother had already consummated their marriage.

......

On a cruise ship on Daming Lake.

"Wan'er, do you want to go up?" Xiao Jingyan asked, pointing to a small island on one side.

Qin Wan glanced in the direction the finger was pointing. There were already many people on the island, and she didn't want to join in the fun.

"This cruise ship is quite nice. If Your Highness wishes to go, then please board!"

"Let's listen to Wan'er and continue the boat trip!"

Xiao Jingyan shouted to the boatman behind him, "Keep rowing, keep going forward!"

"okay!"

A warm breeze was blowing, and the sun was shining brightly. It was very comfortable sitting on the cruise ship.

The boat that Xiao Jingyan chartered wasn't large, but it was spacious enough for just the two of them.

"Wan'er, go through the bamboo grove ahead, there's a peach orchard. When I went there last time, there were already buds, they should be blooming today..."

As Xiao Jingyan was speaking, a 'thump' came from the stern of the boat.

The boat rocked violently, and teacups on the table fell to the ground.

Xiao Jingyan instinctively grabbed the boat and used his other hand to protect Qin Wan in his arms.

Turning their heads to look at the stern, they saw a ship three times larger than theirs ramming into them, pushing them forward.

"Make way, make way quickly! There's a huge rock ahead! There are important people on this ship..."

The boatman steadied himself and shouted at the boat, which was only visible as a hull but not as any people.

But his shouts were drowned out by the violent impact.

Qin Wan gripped Xiao Jingyan's sleeve tightly, the scene before her frightening her.

"Wan'er, hold on tight to me!"

Seeing their small boat being pushed by the large ship and about to crash into the boulder, Xiao Jingyan did not hesitate and jumped in with Qin Wan in his arms.

Seeing that his calls to stop were in vain, and knowing that saving his own life was more important, the boatman also jumped in.

Although it's springtime and the weather is warming up, the lake water is still refreshingly cold.

Qin Wan was not a good swimmer, but her survival instinct made her cling tightly to Xiao Jingyan, afraid to let go.

They had just surfaced when they heard a loud bang.

"Bang!"

Their ships had been smashed to pieces by the larger vessel.

If they hadn't jumped in time, they probably would have been crushed into mincemeat.

The driftwood floated over, and Xiao Jingyan lifted Qin Wan onto it.

When Qin Wan fell into the water, she drank some lake water and was still coughing. She felt her lungs were swollen and uncomfortable.

"Oh dear, we just bumped into the Fifth Prince and Miss Qin's boat! I'm so sorry, how could that boatman drive like that? He deserves to die!"

Shen Siyi's voice came from above.

She only showed herself after hearing the loud noise.

If the large ship had dodged the first impact, it could have avoided the collision.

But they didn't back down, and no one would believe it wasn't intentional.

Moreover, everyone witnessed Shen Siyi being humiliated by Qin Wan's maid.

However, it seems that the boat wasn't carrying Shen Siyi; it was simply the boatman's mistake. If the boatman admits it, then Shen Siyi is completely blameless.

Seeing Qin Wan, who was in a sorry state and coughing incessantly on the lake, Shen Siyi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

“Miss Qin, the lake water is very cold. I would like to help you, but my boat is too high and you can’t get on. I’m afraid you’ll have to stay on the lake for a while!”

Qin Wan felt terrible; she felt like she was about to cough up blood.

For a moment, she felt like she was about to drown, but Xiao Jingyan pulled her up.

Without him, I probably wouldn't have been able to get up here so easily.

Xiao Jingyan floated in the water, steadying the piece of driftwood Qin Wan was lying on, and kept stroking Qin Wan's back.

The laughter from Shen Siyi above was grating and made him feel disgusted.

His glare was no longer concealed; his murderous intent was revealed. In that instant, Shen Siyi's laughter stopped abruptly, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

But after another glance, the killing intent vanished.

This made her wonder if what she had just experienced was an illusion.

Xiao Jingyan is just a fool, how could he possibly...?

Qin Wan was rescued and brought ashore. She was soaking wet and kept sneezing. Wan Shuang, who was on the shore, was very worried after seeing what had just happened. She wished she could swim.

When Qin Wan came up, they immediately gave her an outer coat to keep warm.

"Miss, you scared me to death just now! Your clothes are still wet, let me help you to change!"

Instead of following Wan Shuang, Nian Qi turned around and went to cause trouble for Shen Siyi. She was assigned by Xiao Jingyan to protect Qin Wan, and she couldn't stand by and watch Qin Wan be bullied.

However, before he could take a single step, Xiao Jingyan blocked his way.

"Take good care of Wan'er, and I will handle this matter myself!"

Nianqi's eyes were filled with hatred, and even though she was unwilling, she could only reply, "Yes!"

He then helped Qin Wan to her other side.

At this moment, Shen Siyi also got off the big ship. She had done the scene on purpose, but she couldn't admit it was intentional, since the Fifth Prince was still on the ship.

Shen Siyi stepped forward quickly, her face full of apology, and bowed to Xiao Jingyan.

"Your Highness, I am very sorry for what happened earlier. It was really the boatman's fault for not seeing Your Highness's boat. I have already reprimanded the boatman. Please forgive him, Your Highness!"

Shen Siyi said this to outsiders, meaning that this matter had nothing to do with her.

The boatman, who had been beaten to death the next second, was thrown in front of Xiao Jingyan by his servants.

Now there's no way to verify it.

Xiao Jingyan glanced at him; he was soaking wet and dripping water. He used a towel handed to him by a guard to dry his hair.

When he looked up at Shen Siyi, his pretty face was still beaming with a smile.

This harmless smile made Shen Siyi even more certain that the murderous look she had seen on the ship was just her imagination.

"It's alright. Since it was unintentional on the part of the boatman, he can just be more careful in the future. There's no need to kill him!"
