The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi immediately understood Mo Haiyao's thoughts.

She pulled Han Nianxia and said, "Your cousin and I are good friends with Brother Mo. I know about his affairs. I will tell you whatever you want to ask. After all, many things are not secrets. Brother Mo is a victim. Everyone in Bianjing knows it."

"Then tell me how his face became like this?" Curiosity got the better of her. Han Nianxia was eager to know what this ugly Mo Haiyao had gone through to become like this.

Shang Xi perfunctorily pulled her towards the lake, muttering, "It's a long story, let's go to the lake and talk while we walk."

Accompanied by the warm sunshine and fresh air, they came to the lake.

Shang Xi saw at a glance that Qiao Rong was rowing a small boat leisurely on the sparkling lake. On the boat were Cheng Youning, Cang Zhuo and Qian Changhong. Except for Qiao Rong who was a little older, the other three were all children.

At the same time, standing by the lake was Wan Baiqian's personal maid Rongrong. At this moment, she was standing on tiptoe, craning her neck, staring at the boat in the center of the lake with an anxious look on her face, her hands unconsciously clasped together.

When Shang Xi saw this, her heart tightened and a sense of nervousness instantly surged into her heart, feeling that Cheng Youning was going to get into trouble again.

She didn't have time to think about it, and immediately shouted at the boat on the lake: "Cheng Youning! You are so reckless. Why did you bring your brother and sister on the boat? This is really too dangerous."

However, facing his mother Shang Xi's rebuke, Cheng Youning acted nonchalant. He turned his head calmly to look at Shang Xi on the shore, and responded innocently: "Mom, I didn't want to bring them up here! They were the ones who insisted on getting on the boat with me and Qiao Rong. If we didn't agree, they would sit on the ground and cry. Qiao Rong and I had no choice but to let them get on the boat."

After hearing his son's explanation, Shang Xi couldn't help but feel angry and anxious. He raised his voice a lot and continued to scold Cheng Youning, "They are young and ignorant. As their brother, aren't you also ignorant? What if they accidentally fall into the water on the boat? The consequences will be disastrous!"

Cheng Youning said indifferently: "Mom, it's okay! Your worries are unnecessary. Although they are young, they are not stupid. Why would they jump into the water for no reason?"

Seeing that Cheng Youning refused to listen, Shang Xi shouted at Qiao Rong, "Qiao Rong, quickly take them back with you! If anything goes wrong, both you and Cheng Youning will be punished."

Hearing this, Qiao Rong did not dare to delay and immediately prepared to turn the boat around and head towards the shore.

But Cheng Youning was not willing to give up. He grabbed Qiao Rong's arm and yelled, "Qiao Rong, what's wrong with you? You don't want me to catch the water spider?"

Qiao Rong explained helplessly, "Young Master, the young mistress is waiting on the shore. Let's quickly send Cangzhuo and Changhong back to the shore. How about this, we send them to the shore first, and then come back to catch the water spider, okay?"

Cheng Youning's face was tense, and he muttered reluctantly: "Can't you wait until I catch a water spider before going back?"

Qiao Rong was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he didn't want to upset Cheng Youning; on the other hand, he couldn't disobey the young lady's order. After hesitating for a long time, in order to appease Cheng Youning, he had to shout loudly to Shang Xi on the shore: "Young lady, please wait for a moment, we will go back immediately after the young master catches a water spider!"

After hearing this, Shang Xi asked curiously, "Qiao Rong, what is a water spider?"

Qiao Rong quickly explained: "Young Madam, it's the water strider."

Shang Xi couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and asked again: "What is a water strider?"

Qiao Rong knew that their young lady didn't know what he was talking about, so he continued to explain: "Young lady, water striders are a kind of insect that crawls on the water surface. They have very long legs and move very fast."

Shang Xi frowned and said to Cheng Youning, "Cheng Youning, it's ok for you to catch the bugs on land, but why don't you let go of the bugs in the water?"

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Cheng Youning suddenly saw a water spider swimming slowly not far away. He raised his foot, stepped lightly on the water surface, and rushed out like an arrow. In an instant, he returned to the boat like a gust of wind, holding a water spider in his hand.

Seeing this, Cang Zhuo hurried over and grabbed Cheng Youning's hand and begged, "Brother, can you give me this water spider?"

Cheng Youning smiled and replied, "There are many more water spiders like this on the lake. I'll help you catch a more beautiful one later."

As he was talking, Cang Zhuo suddenly spotted a giant water spider on the lake. He was so excited that he danced with joy and shouted at the top of his voice: "Look, it's so big, it's so big!"

Cheng Youning heard the sound, looked over, and soothed with a smile: "Don't worry, just wait, I'll go catch it and bring it back to you..." However, before he could finish his words, the anxious Cang Zhuo had already jumped into the water. There was a "splash" sound, and the surface of the lake suddenly splashed with water.

At this moment, several women's terrified screams suddenly came from the quiet lakeside. At the same time, the small boats on the lake were in chaos.

Cheng Youning was seen tightly holding onto Qian Changhong who was desperately trying to jump into the water with him. Qian Changhong, who was young and ignorant, had no idea what was happening. She naively thought that there would be fun things waiting for her in the water, so she desperately wanted to jump into the lake with Cangzhuo. However, she had no idea that Cangzhuo was actually drowning.

Fortunately, Qiao Rong, who was a better swimmer than Cheng Youning, had already jumped into the water to rescue him. Not long after, Qiao Rong successfully pulled Cang Zhuo out of the water and quickly threw him into the boat.

Shang Xi, who was standing on the shore, was extremely anxious and shouted nervously, "Cheng Youning, what happened to Cangzhuo?"

Hearing her mother's anxious call, Cheng Youning quickly squatted down, stretched out her hand and gently pressed on Cangzhuo's belly, whose eyes were still rolling around. With this pressing action, Cangzhuo's mouth opened involuntarily, and then he spit out a large mouthful of water.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Youning was not afraid at all. Instead, he found it funny. He said to Shang Xi in a relaxed tone: "Mom, don't worry! Brother Cangzhuo is not seriously injured. He just accidentally drank some lake water. Look, when I pressed his stomach lightly, he vomited water." After that, Cheng Youning deliberately pressed Cangzhuo's belly again.
