Chapter 343: Chapter 343
"Have you heard? Young Master Song jumped into the lake!"
"Young Master Song? That Song Yu? The one betrothed to Commandery Princess Dongyang?"
"Yes, that’s right, it’s him, who else could it be, jumped into the lake at Liu Xiang Pavilion!"
"Oh dear, why on earth? His brother is the Prime Minister, his future wife is Commandery Princess Dongyang, he’s got a wealthy fate gifted by the heavens, and yet he couldn’t think it through? Got his head squeezed?"
"Why else, of course, it’s because of the betrothal. The bride isn’t just anyone, it’s Commandery Princess Dongyang. Just imagine, once he’s married, under the dominance of his wife, how would he dare be carefree and reckless outside?"
"He definitely couldn’t, the Commandery Princess could slice him in half with a single chop!"
"So you see, the young man couldn’t think it through."
"Shh, stop talking, Commandery Princess Dongyang is coming."
Everyone immediately stopped their chatter, watching Commandery Princess Dongyang gallop past, followed by a few fierce-looking guards.
After the fine horse passed by, everyone fanned away the dust near their noses, one coughed twice, and said, "If I were Song Yu, I might also not think it through, being dominated every night!"
Niu Pan’er, anxious and worried, fiercely waved the horsewhip, driving the horse toward the Prime Minister’s Mansion, while also feeling a tinge of sadness inside.
He knew he was wronged, but didn’t know he was this wronged, to the extent of not being able to think it through!
Song Zhiyu: "I swear to heaven and earth, I really wasn’t jumping into the lake, it was an accident, don’t you understand accident?"
My god, he knew once he fell into the water, he’d instantly become the number one sensation in the capital city.
Sure enough, everyone thought he couldn’t think it through and jumped into the lake, damn it, he’s more wronged than Dou E!
Song Ci smacked his head: "Accident, my foot, everyone saw it, who would believe it was an accident?"
"Mother, you don’t believe me either?" Song Zhiyu rubbed his head, his face full of frustration: "You know I can swim, what’s the point of jumping into the lake? That would be putting on a show, am I so bored as to stir up this mess, isn’t the lake water cold in the autumn, achoo, achoo."
He wrapped himself tighter in the blanket, shivering, the water in Bixing Lake was damn cold.
"You know it is said that in this era, among ten people who drown, five can swim?" Song Ci snorted.
Song Zhiyu was almost in tears, he knew from the moment he fell into the water, he wouldn’t be able to wash away his reputation.
"In any case, it was an accident, oh, it was because I got startled and lost my footing and fell into the lake, definitely not because I couldn’t think it through." Song Zhiyu sniffled and said, "At my age, I haven’t lived enough, where would I have the heart to die, especially when I’m destined for a lifetime of endless prosperity and wealth, unless my brain was kicked by a donkey, I wouldn’t think it through and die."
"Uncle, it’s good you think this way, nothing is more important than life. Isn’t it just getting married? Let’s close our eyes, it’s just a lifetime, not worth dying for." Mrs. Jiang supported her waist and said, "From now on, you need to be careful, don’t get close to water, I see you’re not that skilled."
Mrs. Lu added, "In my opinion, a guard should be following you closely at all times."
It felt like they weren’t comforting, but stabbing him with knives.
"Your sisters-in-law are right, apart from life and death, nothing is serious, nothing is insurmountable, let’s look at things positively, okay." Song Ci patted his hand and said.
When she heard this brat had jumped into the lake, she was so scared she almost died on the spot, she had to take two calming pills to settle down.
An accident is fine, just afraid it wasn’t an accident.
"Mother, the Commandery Princess has come to visit you." Madam Song entered with a smile.
Song Zhiyu’s eyes widened, even she came, this time it was really a huge embarrassment!
