Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu smiled brightly, "So what if it's Princess? Everyone knows that you are just a little concubine's daughter in the general's mansion. You are not as qualified as Tang Qingzhi to talk to me..."

Before Jiang Yu could finish his words, he heard a splash. As Rong Yan threw the person down, the waves in the lake began to spread out. Except for Rong Yan, everyone present, including Tang Mumu, was frightened.

"Miss...Miss...please save our young lady." The maid reacted and quickly ran to the fence to reach out for Jiang Yu's hand. She was anxious but did not dare to call for help loudly, and tears kept falling.

Rong Yan wiped the place where his hands had touched Jiang Yu's clothes, not even bothering to give him a glance, "So what, Princess? Do you really think I'm dead?"

Then he took Tang Mumu's hand and prepared to leave. After walking a few steps, Tang Mumu quickly turned back, "Hold my hand, and I'll pull you up."

If something really happened to Jiang Yu, it would be a big trouble. Rong Yan was acting recklessly, and she couldn't continue to do so.

Seeing that Jiang Yu ignored her, Tang Mumu gritted her teeth, grabbed the railing with one hand, grabbed Jiang Yu's collar with the other, and pulled him up.

Immediately, several young ladies from aristocratic families put their cloaks on Jiang Yu. After all, she was still a princess and her status was there.

Jiang Yu wanted to slap Tang Mumu in the face, but she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand. She could only stare at her with red eyes.

Tang Mumu quickly stood up, looked at Rong Yan and then at Jiang Yu, with a look in his eyes as if to say, "Why are you glaring at me because he pushed you down?"

"You pushed my sister and I into the water, and now you're going in alone. Today's matter is even. You can take care of yourself."

After Tang Mumu said this, she dragged Rong Yan away from the place of trouble and ran all the way to the backyard where no one was around before stopping.

"Were you crazy just now? How could you really push her into this? You still dare to do this after knowing her identity? Aren't you afraid that her grandfather will cause trouble for you? The emperor doesn't like you in the first place. If this matter really comes to the emperor, do you think he will favor you or Prime Minister Jiang?"

Tang Mumu really wanted to give him a good scolding, but thinking that Rong Yan did this to vent her anger, she could only blame herself for being careless. If she had avoided the push from Jiang Yu, none of the things that happened later would have happened.

Tang Mumu was almost going crazy with anxiety, but Rong Yan looked like nothing had happened, which made Tang Mumu furious.

"Rong Yan, are you listening to me?"

Seeing that she was really angry, Rong Yan put away the smile on his face, touched her head and comforted her: "Listen, listen, don't worry too much. I pushed Jiang Yu into this situation, it has nothing to do with you. Even if Prime Minister Jiang wants to settle accounts, he should come after me. He won't cause any trouble for you, don't worry."

Hearing this, Tang Mumu became even angrier. She slapped the hand on her head away and looked at Rong Yan angrily.

"You still don't understand. Jiang Yu was originally in the wrong today. If we had brought this matter directly to Prime Minister Jiang and the emperor, we might have been able to get some benefits. But now that the people have been involved and the revenge has been taken, Prime Minister Jiang will definitely not let it go, and the emperor will definitely not side with us. What is going on?"

Originally, she wanted to use this incident to make Prime Minister Jiang owe Rong Wangfu a favor. Now, not only did she not earn the favor, but Rong Yan might even get into trouble.

"Don't be angry. This is Jiang Yu's fault. Even if Prime Minister Jiang is unwilling to let it go, he won't make things too ugly. Nothing will happen."

Besides, who could have endured that situation? When he thought of Tang Mumu staying in the cold lake water for so long, he wished he could go back and let Jiang Yu soak in the lake for a while longer.

"It's no use getting anxious now. We can only deal with it as it comes. If my father dares to blame you, I will pretend to be sick. It would be best if I am sick enough that everyone in the capital knows about it. I really want to see how arrogant Jiang Yu can be."

Rong Yan was amused by Tang Mumu's serious look, and said helplessly: "Who would curse themselves to get sick? But you have to drink some cold medicine when you get home. You have been soaking in the lake for so long today, and the water is so cold, you have to take precautions and don't get sick."

"Don't go back home yet. I'll go see my elder sister."

Rong Yan couldn't persuade Tang Mumu, so he had to follow her back to the guest house of the Song Mansion, but found that Prince Chen had not left yet.

"Why hasn't my eldest brother left yet?" Rong Yan took the initiative to greet Prince Chen, and the two nodded and greeted each other.

"It's still early, so I stayed."

Tang Mumu sat down on the edge of the bed. Tang Qingzhi had already stood up. Tang Mumu touched her forehead, which was a little hot, and pulled the fox fur coat behind her.

"You are too weak. You should go back to the General's Mansion as soon as possible and ask the manor doctor to prescribe two doses of medicine for you. The weather is cold and you have been soaking in ice water for so long. You will definitely be in a lot of trouble when you go back."

Tang Qingzhi was still a little unaccustomed to Tang Mumu's transformation, but she did not avoid her concern and forced a smile, "You have been in the water longer than I have. Don't forget to ask the court doctor to come and see you when you return home. Thank you for what you did today."

Although Tang Mumu was not used to it, she still patted Tang Qingzhi's hands like her mother patted her own hands before, and comforted her: "We are sisters and a family. Of course, we can't watch you being bullied. It's just a small matter. Don't take it to heart."

Tang Qingzhi smiled and nodded, then looked at Prince Rong behind Tang Mumu and bowed her head to thank him, "Thank you Prince Rong for saving me today. The elders in my family have been negligent and have not disciplined my second sister enough. If I have been disrespectful, please forgive me. I thank you Prince Rong in advance."

Rong Yan hummed softly. Tang Qingzhi didn't dare to keep them any longer. She looked at Tang Mumu and said, "Go back quickly. There is a maid following me. I will return to the general's mansion in a while."

Tang Mumu nodded and said, "Then I'll leave first. If you have anything to say, please send someone to the palace to find me."

"Got it, let's go."

After saying goodbye to Prince Chen, the two got on the carriage back to the palace.

The general's carriage had been waiting outside the Song Mansion early. Prince Chen did not turn around until Tang Qingzhi got on the carriage. He stopped immediately when he heard a voice behind him.

"Your Highness, thank you for your help today."

"It's just a small favor. Miss Tang, don't worry about it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what happened today."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The carriage was moving slowly and Tang Qingzhi was feeling a little drowsy. Lian Xin, who was standing beside her, wanted to speak several times but didn't dare to, until Tang Qingzhi opened her eyes and let her speak her mind.

Lian Xin was still hesitant, until Tang Mumu pretended to be angry and asked in a low voice: "Miss, do you still have feelings for Prince Chen?"

Tang Qingzhi's eyes immediately turned cold, and Lian Xin lowered his head in fear.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't follow me."

"Miss, please don't be angry. I will never dare to speak nonsense again. Miss, please don't leave me."

Tang Qingzhi then closed her eyes and pretended to sleep again, but Lian Xin's words just now kept echoing in her mind.
