Chapter 40: Rescue at the Marquis' Mansion
Chapter 40: Rescue at the Marquis' Mansion
"Princess, how is the eldest son now?" The old marquis' wife asked about Shangguan Ziqi's situation.
"Everything is as usual." The smile on the princess's face faded a little, but there was no sadness.
"The eldest young lady's wife is obviously a well-educated and well-mannered child. You will feel more at ease knowing that she will take care of the eldest young master in the future."
"Yes, Zheng'er is a good person. Since she came into the family, Ziqi has been well taken care of by her every day."
"Congratulations to the princess for marrying a good daughter-in-law."
"Thank you, old Madam Hou. Madam Hou, where is the third young lady?"
"I will ask her to come and see the princess."
A maid went out immediately after hearing this.
After a while, a girl with a bright look came in. Her light pink dress made her look even more lively and charming.
She has an oval face, a cherry mouth, and bright, twinkling eyes.
What a beautiful flower!
"Yuying greets the Princess, the Crown Prince's wife, and the Madam of the Eldest Young Master." Yue Yuying said with a bit of shyness.
She is actually one year older than Yu Yuanzheng.
To be honest, Yu Yuanzheng felt that she had lost out by marrying Shangguan Zifeng. But in this era, marriages were decided by parents.
"Well, good girl, come here." The princess waved to her and gave her a gift.
"Yuan Zheng, Chaoyang, go and play with the Third Miss. We adults have business to discuss." The princess sent her two daughters-in-law out.
Proposing a marriage proposal is something that adults do, and the two young wives are just supporting roles.
The three of them left the main hall.
"Princess Consort, Madam Young Master, let's go for a walk in the garden," Yue Yuying invited warmly. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold, perfect for a stroll in the garden.
When we arrived at the garden of the Marquis' Mansion, it was early May. The flowers in the garden had not yet bloomed, and butterflies and bees were still flying around.
The Ning'an Marquis Mansion has been a noble family for many years and has a profound heritage.
The mansion is quite large, and the garden is also quite large.
The three of them walked along the tree-lined path.
"Miss Yue San, what do you usually do at home?" Yu Chaoyang spoke first.
She wanted to establish a good relationship with Yue Yuying.
"There's nothing fun to do. I like painting, reading, and occasionally embroidering."
Yue Yuying has two older sisters, and her family didn't care much about whether she was a girl from a wealthy family, so her growth process was relatively casual.
Her mother gave birth to a son on her fourth birth.
Yu Yuanzheng got this information from Nanny Ye yesterday.
"Miss Yue San can also embroider?" Yu Yuanzheng asked with a smile.
"Well, I feel a sense of accomplishment when using the things I embroidered. I once embroidered a headband for my grandmother, and she praised me for my good embroidery. She liked it very much." When talking about this, Yue Yuying's face turned a little red.
When Yu Chaoyang saw that the topic turned to embroidery, she couldn't get a word in and felt annoyed.
"What kind of books does Miss Yue San like to read? I especially like reading storybooks and poems." Yu Chaoyang wanted to bring the topic back to her strengths.
“I have read two storybooks, but my mother wouldn’t let me, saying they were harmful.
My mother said that in reality there are not so many young ladies from wealthy families who like poor scholars.
Those are all obscene things written by poor scholars who can't marry the daughters of wealthy families to harm them."
"Miss Yue San is right. Storybooks are just the fantasies of some poor scholars. People should still live in reality and not covet things that do not belong to them." Yu Yuanzheng's words had hidden meaning.
"That's right, what the eldest young lady said is what I think." Yue Yuying felt that Yu Yuanzheng's words were very profound and she had a very good impression of her.
On the contrary, Yu Chaoyang gave her the feeling that he was not in the same circle as her.
"Oh no, the third young master fell into the water." At this moment, a scream interrupted the conversation of the three people.
"What?" Yue Yuying was so scared when she heard it was the Third Young Master that she ran towards the direction where the voice came from.
Seeing this, Yu Yuanzheng lifted her skirt and followed.
Yu Chaoyang had to follow.
Follow Yue Yuying's figure to the center of the garden.
When they came to a pond, they saw a small figure floating in the water, and two boys were swimming towards the child.
"Swim faster, my third brother is almost dying." Yue Yuying shouted anxiously.
Yu Yuanzheng saw that the place where the child fell into the water was a relatively high rockery, and he must have fallen into the water from the rockery.
The servant quickly swam to the child, and the two of them worked together to lift the child up and bring him to the surface.
Then swim towards the shore.
By the time the two of them brought the child ashore, the child had already fainted.
"Xiaojuan, go and call the court doctor quickly." Yue Yuying ordered while crying.
Then the maid beside her turned and ran away.
The child looked to be about eleven or twelve years old. His face was pale, and it was obvious that he had been in the water for a while, otherwise he would not have fainted.
"Third brother, wake up, wuwu..., you can't be in any trouble. Mother gave birth to you with great difficulty. If anything happens to you, how will I live? How will you let your third sister live?" Yue Yuying cried so sadly.
"Miss Yue San, I heard of a method that might be able to save your brother. It may take some time for the court doctor to arrive, and then it will be too late." Yu Yuanzheng stepped forward and said in a gentle voice.
"Really? Then hurry up." Yue Yuying immediately made way as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Second sister, don't do anything rash. You don't know medicine. If anything happens to the Third Young Master, you won't be able to bear the responsibility." Yu Chaoyang stopped her from doing anything.
She didn't want Yu Yuanzheng to accidentally turn the Marquis' Mansion into an enemy.
The Third Young Master is so important to the Marquis' Mansion.
If something happened to the Third Young Master at Yu Yuanzheng's hands today, this marriage would definitely not be possible, and the Marquis' Mansion would definitely be at odds with the Prince's Mansion in the future. Now that she is the Crown Prince's Consort, all interactions with other families will depend on her.
Don't make enemies.
"Get out of the way." Time is life, Yu Yuanzheng ordered coldly, and his aura completely changed.
"Second sister, this is not a trivial matter." In order to protect the palace, Yu Chaoyang was not willing to give in.
In his previous life, the Third Young Master did fall into the water, but he did not die. He just caught a severe cold and has been much weaker since then.
She didn't die until she died.
There is no need for Yu Yuanzheng to pretend to be kind here.
If the opposite happens and the Third Young Master really has an accident, no one can take the responsibility.
Not doing it is not wrong. Doing it may be wrong.
Yu Yuanzheng hates it most when someone stops her from doing her job.
He pushed her hard, and Yu Chaoyang staggered three steps before stopping.
"Second sister, the third young master will not die, there is no need for you to worry about him." Yu Chaoyang shouted and was about to step forward to stop people.
"Shut up right there." Yu Yuanzheng got angry. "Zi Yue, try your best to stop her."
Yu Yuanzheng squatted down and covered his hands with his sleeves. He took his pulse and found that his heart had stopped beating.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation must be performed as soon as possible.
"Miss Third, you have to listen to me now. The Third Young Master is in danger. Whether he can survive depends on our cooperation. Do you understand?" Yu Yuanzheng said sternly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yue Yuying replied with tears in her eyes.
Yu Yuanzheng tilted the Third Young Master's head back to clear his airway.
"Miss Third, now take a deep breath, pinch the Third Young Master's nose, and blow the air you inhaled into the Third Young Master's chest with force, three times in a row. Quick!" Yu Yuanzheng finished speaking quickly.
But Yue Yuying was stunned when she heard it.
Although he was her younger brother, he was still a boy after all, even though he was only twelve years old.
"Hurry up, or he will die." Yu Yuanzheng shouted.
