Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

"Plop," with the sound of water splashing, several people nearby screamed.

"Sister Lan Xin!"

"Miss Three!"

"The third young lady fell into the water!"

The situation around the lotus pond was in chaos now, and Gu Qingzhi felt that it was all she deserved.

If possible, she would like to bury all the people in the Zuo Xiang Mansion here, so that they can also experience the feeling of being swallowed by the lotus pond.

She glanced at the disheveled Zuo Lanxin and saw her floundering in the pool, perhaps entangled in the mud or vines, unable to get her head out.

Seeing that everyone was squatting on the shore in panic, but no one went into the water, and no one was even willing to lend a hand to save people, Gu Qingzhi felt a headache.

Zuo Lanxin was actually not far from the shore, and the water in the pool was not deep, so she could struggle out with just a few people pulling her up.

But this group of people seemed to do it on purpose. They were so busy shouting that they didn't notice her condition at all. They just watched their master choking on water one mouthful after another.

Originally, Gu Qingzhi thought it was just a minor incident, but if someone died, she would probably be in trouble if the Zuo Xiang and his son made a big fuss about it.

It seems that there is no way to avoid saving him.

Although she was reluctant, Gu Qingzhi rushed to the shore without hesitation. Regardless of the discomfort in her heart, she grabbed a servant's leg with one hand and reached out to the struggling Zuo Lanxin.

"Hold me!"

In a panic, Zuo Lanxin didn't know who made the sound, she just stretched out her hand and grabbed Gu Qingzhi's arm fiercely.

Holding the life-saving straw in her hand, Zuo Lanxin couldn't help but increase her strength, almost gouging Gu Qingzhi's arm to leave bloody marks, pinching it tightly with her nails.

Gu Qingzhi resisted the urge to throw her out and tried hard to pull her up, but she could clearly feel a force under the water stopping her, and she knew her guess was correct.

She couldn't help but increase her strength and said to the people behind her: "She is entangled, come and pull her back."

The servants finally reacted and walked forward, dragging the servant whose legs Gu Qingzhi had hugged, and pulled him back.

Feeling that the countervailing force suddenly disappeared, Zuo Lanxin's head finally emerged from the water.

"Okay, pull me up slowly."

The servants behind him relaxed their grip and waited for Gu Qingzhi to pull Zuo Lanxin up.

Unexpectedly, when the little girl saw who saved her, her eyes darkened and she suddenly became ruthless.

Gu Qingzhi, who had just let go of the servant, felt her arm being pulled violently. She didn't react for a moment and her body involuntarily lost balance and fell forward.

She didn't have time to grab the bank, and the cold water instantly soaked her body and flooded into her nasal cavity.

A biting chill like a nightmare came over her, accompanied by a surge of fear. For a moment, she seemed to be back to the night she drowned.

The ensuing feeling of suffocation instantly submerged her from head to toe, and the pool water mixed with mud and sand around her was stirred like a huge monster, waiting to open its dark mouth and swallow her.

Gu Qingzhi tried hard to stick her head out from the water to breathe, but in her panic she couldn't even step on the mud under her feet. She could only barely keep herself on the shore to avoid entering the deep waters of the lotus pond.

But her struggling not only did not work, but caused Zuo Lanxin to push her towards the center of the lake like a madman, holding her head tightly, not giving her the chance to surface to breathe.

"You lowly slave, now it's your turn! How does it feel to fall into the water? Does it feel good?"

Zuo Lanxin was a good swimmer, and after getting out of trouble she floated on the water with ease. She held Gu Qingzhi under the water tightly, and her words became more and more vicious.

After all this, Gu Qingzhi had already choked on several mouthfuls of the fishy-smelling pool water. She couldn't hold her breath and kept trying to cough out the water. But when she opened her mouth, more water entered her lungs, and her chest and abdomen felt as if they were burning with pain.

"Lan Xin, it's almost done, stop messing around and come up!"

Liu Xuefu's voice on the shore could not stop Zuo Lanxin, who was only thinking about revenge. Looking at Gu Qingzhi's miserable struggle, she felt unprecedented joy in her heart.

The collar was pulled loose and deformed, and Gu Qingzhi had no time to care about it. She could only push Zuo Lanxin as far away from her as possible.

But Zuo Lanxin grabbed the front of her clothes with both hands and pushed her under the water. The white cloth strip in the front of her clothes almost showed through.

Gu Qingzhi's innate fear of water made her body increasingly stiff, and she seemed to be increasingly powerless in her attempts to tear herself apart. All she could do was hold on to her collar.

"Azhi!"

Feng Zhanye's voice came from not far away. When the young man saw the person in the pool, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he and Wu Fang ran to the shore in two steps at a time.

Seeing that Gu Qingzhi's struggles were getting weaker and weaker, the sharp-eyed Wu Fang jumped into the pool and lifted her up without waiting for Feng Zhanye's order.

Zuo Lanxin's suppression force was not very strong, and naturally a little girl could not resist the strong Wu Fang. She was directly knocked away by the big man and accidentally drank a mouthful of pool water.

"Miss San, the master is watching us on the shore! Be careful with your words and actions!"

Zuo Lanxin, who was knocked unconscious, finally emerged again with great difficulty. Just as she was about to explode, she was reminded and saw Feng Zhanye on the shore. A trace of panic appeared on her pretty face and she quickly put on a different expression.

"Brother Ye, save me. The water is so cold."

Zuo Lanxin wrapped one arm around her trembling body and stretched out the other hand softly to Feng Zhanye, with anticipation in her eyes.

However, Feng Zhanye seemed not to hear her words. He just passed her by and pulled up Gu Qingzhi's arm. He found that her arm was covered with red marks caused by Zuo Lanxin.

Feng Zhanye worked with Wu Fang to drag Gu Qingzhi to shore. His eyes were filled with worry that was completely different from before. He quickly squatted down to support her and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Gu Qingzhi coughed up several mouthfuls of pool water violently before she managed to catch her breath and shook her head.

Feng Zhanye breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the others: "What do you mean by this?"

His voice was filled with uncontrollable anger. Zuo Lanxin, who had just been helped ashore by a servant, was stunned.

Feng Zhan Ye was always gentle and humble in front of her. She had never seen Brother Ye lose his temper. His sharp eyes made her feel a chill down her spine.

But seeing how protective he was of the guard, and even how he was angry with her, the little girl looked at Gu Qingzhi with eyes almost spitting fire.

"Aye..."

Gu Qingzhi was supported by Wu Fang. She noticed that Feng Zhanye was not in a good condition. Fearing that he might lose the big picture due to the small details, she quickly grabbed the young man, called him softly, and shook her head at him.

The young man turned around and glanced at her. Realizing that something was wrong, his expression relaxed a little. After a pause, he said, "Forget it, let's go."

Unexpectedly, Zuo Lanxin became anxious and rushed over to hug Feng Zhanye's arm eagerly, regardless of her own image.

"Wait, Brother Ye, this is not what you think. Let me explain!"

I don’t know what kind of perfumed powder Zuo Lanxin put on her body. After being soaked in the pool water, the smell became stronger. Others might find it sweet, but Feng Zhanye just felt it was greasy.

He took a deep breath to calm down, then resisted the urge to shake her off immediately. He turned around and gave Wu Fang a look, asking him to take Gu Qingzhi back first, and then continued to face Zuo Lanxin who looked eager.

"I don't know what I think in your eyes, but I think I must have offended the Third Miss in some way, so you pushed my guard into the lake for no reason."

Feng Zhanye looked at Zuo Lanxin indifferently, his narrow eyes were full of alienation and coldness, and he regained his humble look when speaking.

Zuo Lanxin was covered with a thin dress by her maid. Her black hair was still dripping with water. She looked very pitiful. She shook her head quickly after hearing this.

"That's not the case. He was the one who took advantage of his power and pushed me into the water first. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Fu'er!"

These words were not convincing at all. Liu Xuefu, who was standing by, frowned after hearing them, but because she was on good terms with Zuo Lanxin, she had to nod in agreement.

Feng Zhanye was naturally not someone who could be fooled by just a few words from them, but since she said so, he wanted to have a good talk with her.
