When Mrs. Zhang Er saw Zhang Yumo running into the arms of a stranger and crying, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, as if the Zhang family had bullied her.

She pulled Zhang Yumo out of Feng Jingyuan's arms and said sarcastically, "Madam Jiang, please don't bother with our Zhang family's housework. Yumo lost her parents when she was young, and we, as aunts, have always treated her as our own daughter. Her marriage is naturally decided by us. Our Zhang family has agreed to the Su family's proposal, and Yumo and General Su will be married soon."

Feng Jingyuan looked at Madam Zhang and said calmly, "Madam, do you also agree with Yu Mo's marriage?"

Madam Zhang glanced at Duke Zhang and said in a deep voice, "I agree. It's time for our daughter Mo to get married."

They felt that no matter who spread these rumors about Zhang Yumo and Jiang Jinyan, their reputation was already like this, and the Jiang family had no sincerity in pursuing a marriage. Now that the Su family was pursuing a marriage, it would be better to marry her far away, to the frontier. After she got married, she would have a better life and be away from all the gossip in Kyoto. It would be better to stay in Kyoto and feel sad.

Old Madam Zhang did not explain these things to Feng Jingyuan, as the two families had no relationship.

Zhang Yumo cried like a pear blossom in the rain, "I will not marry into the Li family, nor into the Su family."

Duke Zhang said coldly, "How insolent."

The next second, she suddenly rushed out of the banquet. Madam Zhang subconsciously wanted to chase her, but Duke Zhang said angrily, "Let her go. I have spoiled her too much and let her do whatever she wants over the years."

Duke Zhang was so angry that he coughed repeatedly. Old Madam Zhang asked with concern, "Why is Duke Zhang still angry with a child? Don't you feel sorry for your granddaughter who you raised yourself?" Of course she knew that Duke Zhang loved his granddaughter, otherwise he would not have taken so much trouble to raise her.

Duke Zhang was speechless for a moment. It was all his granddaughter's fault that she was not doing well enough and had to blame Jiang Jinyan. For so long, he had never taken her seriously. If she didn't get married now, she would have to be an old maid for the rest of her life and be criticized and laughed at.

Madam Zhang Er raised a smug smile and said, "I've made a fool of myself. As elders, we really can't stop worrying about our children. Yu Mo has been sensible and obedient since she was young. I don't know who drugged her to make her so stubborn."

Now, even if Zhang Yumo marries into the Su family, she will suffer the consequences. She is already involved with other men before she gets married. Which man can tolerate her having someone else in her heart?

Feng Jingyuan got angry when she heard this. Not to mention who she was going to marry, her aunt's words alone could ruin a woman's life. She still wanted to work hard, "Madam, actually my Jinyan..."

"Mrs. Jiang, let's just leave it at that!" said Old Madam Zhang.

At this moment, the maidservant shouted, "Oh no! Miss Mo jumped into the lake! Help! Come quickly!"

Suddenly, everyone ran to the lake.

Jiang Fenghua and Jiang Rumeng looked at each other and hurriedly ran to the lake.

Jiang Fenghua was anxious. Could it be that the tragedy from the previous life happened again, and several months earlier?

She became more and more anxious, praying that nothing would happen to Zhang Yumo, otherwise she would be really guilty.

First, there was a mountain flood in Jiangnan, and now Zhang Yumo committed suicide by jumping into the lake prematurely. Could it be that her rebirth will really change many things that she could not predict?

At this time, the lake was full of people, but no one went down to save her. Zhang Yumo's maid stood on the shore and shouted, "Miss, please don't be in trouble. Someone, come and save my young lady!"

The lake is so deep that you can’t see anyone once you go in. Old Madam Zhang and Duke Zhang were so anxious that they almost fainted.

The men were even more afraid to go into the water to save her. After all, Zhang Yumo was not only involved with the young master of the Jiang family, she had just broken off her engagement with Minister Li's family, and now she was engaged to the young general of the Su family. No one would go down and get involved with her again, and who would dare to touch the body of an unmarried woman?

Jiang Fenghua can swim, but she is pregnant. Not to mention that the lake water is icy cold at this time of year, she doesn't have the physical strength to support Zhang Yumo, and both of them will die.

"Aoxue." she said.

Aoxue stood by her side holding the sword, not leaving her side even for a moment.

Aoxue judged, "My duty is to protect the princess. Besides, I am not very good at swimming. The water in the Zhang Mansion is flowing. I am afraid that it will connect to the lake outside. Anyone who goes down will be in danger."

Ji Chen wanted to jump down to save the person. If he really saved the person, he would have to marry such a beautiful girl. But if he died, it would not be worth it. He backed off. Glory and wealth were not as important as his life...

At this moment, there was a loud "bang", water splashed everywhere, and a man jumped in without even taking off his clothes.

Jiang Zhiqin stood by the lake and shouted, "Brother, it was my brother who jumped down."

No one could see clearly who the person was. Jiang Zhiqin was young, so he didn't get close, but he definitely saw the figure of his elder brother.

People on the shore were talking about how Zhang Yumo was seeking death and they were afraid that he would be in great danger.

Jiang Jinyan also went back home and found out that all the Jiang family members had come to the Zhang Mansion to celebrate Duke Zhang's birthday. He also heard from the housekeeper that his mother had someone find the Jiang family's heirloom jade pendant and bring it to the Zhang Mansion to propose marriage, but he hadn't returned yet. In such an occasion, his mother's behavior might be inappropriate.

So he changed his clothes and rushed to Zhang's house.

After arriving, he saw everyone running towards the lake. He randomly pulled someone to ask what happened, and only then did he know that Zhang Yumo had committed suicide by jumping into the lake.

They had only been away for a month, and before they left, they had agreed that he would ask his mother to go to the Zhang residence to propose marriage. How could he jump into the lake and commit suicide out of nowhere?

When he reached the lake, he jumped in to save people without thinking.

When he found Zhang Yumo at the bottom of the lake, she was completely unconscious. Fortunately, he had traveled extensively and had good physical fitness and was a good swimmer, so he was able to easily bring Zhang Yumo out of the water.

When they showed up, everyone by the lake was stunned.

Everyone was guessing: Is Miss Zhang dead? She looks like she is dead!

When Mrs. Jiang saw her son, she also asked anxiously, "Jinyan, are you okay?"

Jiang Jinyan had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes and was handsome. His heroic act instantly attracted the heart of the young lady from aristocratic family on the shore.

Jiang Rumeng and the people from the Zhang residence went to help and brought Zhang Yumo out to the shore. Her eyes were closed, as if she was dead, without any life at all, and even her lips were black purple.

Someone shouted, "Call a doctor."

Duke Zhang's hands were shaking as he called out, "Doctor Wang, Doctor Li, Doctor Zhang, Academician Mei..."

Madam Zhang fainted from fright.

After Jiang Jinyan got ashore, he dismissed the people who surrounded him and started to rescue Zhang Yumo directly.

He first pressed out the water in her chest, then spread her lips and began to perform mouth-to-mouth breathing on her.

Over and over again, he performed the same action calmly, but he didn't expect to see her so lifeless again.
