Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Yu followed the scholar in the direction of the lotus pond while listening to him talk about the ins and outs.
“To be honest, we don’t know exactly what happened. When we were writing poems with Wenqian, we suddenly heard a shout saying that someone was pushed into the water and was not allowed to e up.”
“We quickly ran over to take a look. We didn’t expect Wenqian to know the person who was pushed into the water. He said that it was an uncle from his village. Wenqian quickly went forward to stop them, but there were seven people, consisting of three young masters and four servants. After they pushed Third Uncle Lu into the water, the servants stood by the shore with bamboo poles. As long as Third Uncle Lu swam to the shore, they would hit him with the bamboo poles.”
“If we weren’t local scholars, those young masters wouldn’t have been polite to us either. When Wenqian asked them why they were doing whatever they were doing, they only said that Third Uncle Lu had offended them. They wouldn’t say how he offended them, only repeatedly telling us to not meddle in other people’s business.”
“Later, a girl ran out crying and saying that it was because of her that Third Uncle Lu was pushed into the water.”
Shu Yu did not stop walking. When she heard this, she was stunned for a moment and asked, “A girl? Who is it?”
The scholar shook his head, “No idea. Before I could make sense of everything,
Third Uncle Lu shouted at us, asking us to e and find you to save him.”
He paused for a moment and said softly, “But the other party is very aggressive. It’s obvious that we can’t afford to offend them. Is it because your
Third Uncle wants you to get more people first that he asked us to get you?”
Shu Yu quickened her pace, “No, he wants me to save him.”
The scholar was a little dumbfounded.
As the two of them spoke, they had already arrived at the lotus pond that the scholar had mentioned.
The peach blossom forest occupied a large area, so the lotus pond inside was not small either. Not only were there many lotus flowers planted, but the people could even take small boats to pick lotuses, which was a favorite pastime for many.
Shu Yu saw a group of people gathered there from afar, chattering about something.
She quickly stepped forward and squeezed into the crowd. Indeed, she saw Lu Sanzhu bobbing up and down on the surface of the water. He didn’t dare to swim toward the shore at all.
Fortunately, his swimming skills were good. Otherwise, he would have sunk long ago.
The few young masters that the scholar mentioned were all standing at the side and laughing. Tang Wenqian tried to reason with them but was pushed aside by one of them, who did not take him seriously at all.
There was another person standing next to Tang Wenqian. It was the girl that the scholar had mentioned just now.
However, what surprised Shu Yu was that this girl was Lanhua, her Eldest Uncle’s daughter.
It was no wonder that someone like Lu Sanzhu, who knew how to read emotions well and would hide far away when he encountered trouble, would offend a few young masters.
Shu Yu took a few steps forward. Lu Sanzhu, who was originally far away, saw her at a glance. He was delighted.
Tang Wenqian and Lanhua turned their heads at the same time and ran toward
Shu Yu.
Lu Sanzhu heaved a sigh of relief. With Shu Yu around, he instantly felt emboldened. Without another word, he swam back to the shore.
However, as soon as he swam over, the bamboo poles in the hands of the servants aimed at his head. Even though Lu Sanzhu nimbly dodged a few times, he was still hit several times.
Shu Yu’s anger surged as she watched. Without saying anything, she immediately rushed forward. Her figure was as fast as lightning, and before anyone could react, she suddenly jumped and kicked the servant who had beaten Lu Sanzhu the most fiercely into the water..
