After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

"No...it's okay. I'm just wearing too many clothes and it's a bit hot." Zhao Yezhen avoided his gaze.

Song Mingli tilted his head. "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

"Ah, I...that..." Zhao Yezhen stammered.

This girl can't lie.

Song Mingli discovered this when he first met her outside the Ministry of Justice prison.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to trick the truth out of her with just a few words.

"You're not... going to have a secret meeting with someone, are you?" Song Mingli said deliberately, leaning close to her ear.

Zhao Yezhen's face suddenly turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

She stamped her feet in anger. "Why did you say that to him? Wait, later..."

She glared at Song Mingli...

The half-finished words are all expressed in this look - when I become your sister-in-law in the future, just wait and see how I will deal with you!

Song Mingli blinked and asked in a low voice, "My second brother asked you out?"

Zhao Yezhen was so embarrassed that she used the back of her hand to cool her burning cheeks.

She secretly pinched Song Mingli and said, "If you say that again... I will sue you!"

Song Mingli said seriously, "Impossible."

Zhao Yezhen was slightly stunned, "What?"

"My second brother asked me to give you the gift. He said that since you haven't gotten engaged yet, he was afraid that it would be bad for your reputation if he gave you something privately."

"He is usually careless, but he is very careful about your affairs."

"How could he possibly ask you to meet him privately in Guiyuan? If someone saw him, it would definitely affect your reputation. He won't do that."

Song Mingli said in a low voice, his face serious.

The blush on Zhao Yezhen's face gradually faded away, and as the breeze blew, she seemed to calm down a lot.

"Yes, I don't know the maid who came to deliver the message. Maybe she is not my second brother at all." Zhao Yezhen frowned, "I am so stupid..."

But thinking back to just now, Song Mingli said that her second brother was attentive and caring about her affairs.

Zhao Yezhen didn't say anything, but she felt like she had a piece of osmanthus candy in her heart.

"Let's go. I'll go with you wherever you want to go." Song Mingli said, "If I accompany you, it won't be considered a private meeting."

Zhao Yezhen pinched her again, "Don't let Second Brother know... It's so embarrassing to be fooled so easily."

Song Mingli smiled and nodded in agreement, "It's not shameful, because I was thinking about that person in my heart...that's why I was easily fooled."

"If my second brother knew about this, I wonder how happy he would be!"

"Well, we really can't let him know, otherwise he'll be so proud of himself."

After Song Mingli said this, the embarrassment and awkwardness in Zhao Yezhen's heart was immediately relieved.

Sister Song is so thoughtful and considerate. I said this deliberately to comfort her.

Zhao Yezhen cast a grateful look at Song Mingli.

The group came to the Nine-Curve Floating Bridge.

"Okay, let's meet at the pavilion in the middle of the lake." Zhao Yezhen said as he stepped onto the Nine-Curve Floating Bridge.

Immediately afterwards, her feet slipped, her body tilted, and she was about to fall into the lake.

Song Mingli was closest to her, and he was quick to grab her.

Song Mingli also slid along.

But fortunately, the kung fu training over the past six months has not been in vain, and the kung fu foundation learned from my mother's home has also been brought back to life.

Her body moved faster than her brain. She instinctively squatted down and steadied her lower body so that she was not dragged into the water by Zhao Yezhen.

This bought Molan some time.

Molan held one in each hand and pulled them back steadily.

"There's something on the bridge surface, making it very slippery." Song Mingli said in a deep voice.

A slight noise was heard from the bushes not far away.

Zhao Yezhen and her maid were still in shock and were patting their chests to calm themselves down.

Song Mingli and Molan both noticed the subtle movement.

"Follow them and see if you get discovered." Song Mingli said to Molan.

Molan turned and left.

Song Mingli looked at Zhao Yezhen deeply.

The little girl was very calm and had recovered by now. She smiled and thanked Song Mingli, "Thank goodness you came!"

Song Mingli said, "I'll have to tell my second brother later and I'll arrange a maid who knows Kung Fu for you."

"People in Kyoto are complicated, and some things are hard to guard against."

Zhao Yezhen frowned, "You mean, someone deliberately wanted me to fall into the water?"

"But...but I don't have any grudges with anyone in Kyoto. Who hates me so much?"

"Besides, I'm a good swimmer! I'm not afraid of falling into the water."

Song Mingli didn't say anything. He thought that when Molan came back, she would probably know what was going on.

It was just a matter of following to see who that person was, there was no need to take any action, so Molan came back quickly.

"Look carefully, it's Xu Songyi." Molan replied.

Song Mingli looked at Zhao Yezhen, "This Xu family member has been thinking about you, and wanted to show off his talents to attract you, but he lost to Jingyou."

"I am unwilling to accept this and use this method again."

Zhao Yezhen was a little confused, "What do you mean? Why don't I understand?"

Before Song Mingli could explain, the maidservant beside Zhao Yezhen was already filled with indignation.

"Miss, think about it, if Princess Jing wasn't here, and it was just the two of us, and you just fell into the water, then Master Xu would be waiting nearby, and he would jump into the water and rescue you... There are so many people in Guiyuan, they must have seen it!"

Zhao Yezhen blinked and said innocently, "I don't need him to save me, I can swim!"

The maid stamped her feet anxiously, "It's not a question of whether you can swim or not! Alas, saving someone in the water requires hugging and cuddling..."

"Once you fall into the water, the shouting over there will surely attract a lot of people, and he will kill you in the water..."

Zhao Yezhen finally understood. She covered the maid's mouth with her hand and her face turned pale with fear.

"So... mean?"

"He plotted against me and still wants me to be 'grateful' for saving his life?"

not only that.

If others saw him hugging himself in the water...

If Brother Song knew...

When Zhao Yezhen thought of this, she was so angry that tears came out.

"That's too much! I must go back and tell my parents!"

"He's gone too far!"

Zhao Yezhen is just naive and doesn't think that people are that bad. She is not stupid.

After the maid explained, she felt cold from head to toe!

She even thought...if she was embraced by another man, even if Second Brother Song was still willing to marry her, she would probably not have the face to marry Second Brother Song again!

The little girl was so angry that her eyes turned red and her body couldn't help shaking.

Song Mingli looked at her with some concern, "Zhen'er, are you scared? It's okay now."

"Sister, am I too stupid and foolish?" Zhao Yezhen couldn't help but feel scared and blame herself.

Song Mingli gently held her hand and said, "It's not that you are stupid, it's that some people are too treacherous and will do anything to achieve their goals."

"Let's just be more vigilant in the future and don't blame ourselves."

Zhao Yezhen took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

"I haven't shown you the things my second brother asked me to give you yet. Come and see if you like them," Song Mingli said in a brisk tone. "If you don't like them, ask him to prepare new ones."

Zhao Yezhen's face, which had turned pale with fear, finally showed a little blush.

She murmured softly, "Second brother prepared this, I will definitely like it..."
