"Xia Yinian, you didn’t see this coming, did you?" Xia Chuxue took slow steps, gradually drawing near.
Even the heavens were aiding her, positioning Xia Yinian in such a perfect spot.
A ten-ter deep pond, didn’t she know?
Of course, Xia Yinian didn’t know. Xia Chuxue had calculated the spot and stood there waiting for her to co over.
From the route Yinian had taken just now, it was truly impossible to see the sign.
What’s more, although Xia Chuxue was no saint, throughout all these years, at most she would mock her or occasionally take physical action against her.
But murder? She did not believe Xia Chuxue would go that far.
"I will always stand taller than you. You may be engaged to Young Master Ling, but Old Master Gu doesn’t like you, does he?"
There was still so distance between Xia Chuxue and her, yet as she fixed her gaze on Xia Yinian’s nearly perfect back, even saying these words seed to drain her strength.
No, she wouldn’t feel powerless; as long as Xia Yinian vanished, everything would truly be hers.
"I have Brother Yan, and most importantly, my surna is Feng. I am Dad’s only biological daughter, while you, once Old Mrs. Gu passes away, will be nothing."
As soon as the words fell, Xia Chuxue suddenly walked over...
...
"Soone’s fallen into the pond, Miss Niannian has fallen into the deep water..."
That news quickly spread back to the villa.
The Old Master, who was sitting not far from the villa, had just caught wind of sothing when a bodyguard hurried over.
"Old Master, Third Young Master, Miss Niannian has fallen into the deep water pond."
Before the Old Master could speak, Feng Yan shared a glance with Feng Rui and vanished from everyone’s sight.
"Niannian... Quick, rescue her, quick! Cough, cough cough..." The Old Master wished he could stand up at once, but his body was not cooperating.
The more anxious he got, the weaker he felt, and even the strength that would allow him to stand for a mont on an ordinary day was nowhere to be found.
"Niannian, Niannian... cough cough cough, cough..."
"Old Master, don’t panic, with the Third Young Master here, Miss Niannian will be fine. Old Master, you mustn’t get agitated, don’t make Miss Niannian worry."
Feng Rui imdiately ca over, frantically patting the Old Master’s back: "Don’t panic, the bodyguards will save her, don’t panic."
"I’m fine, hurry! Go check what happened."
"Alright, right away." Feng Rui responded, pushing the Old Master quickly towards the pond.
Leng Zhishuo had followed on the way over; originally, when Xia Yinian was in the room, he couldn’t find a legitimate excuse to stay by her side.
Since he also had a passion for alchemy, this cold-hearted man had gone to look at the dicinal Fields.
Unexpectedly, when he returned, he heard that Xia Yinian had gone to the pond, but by the ti he arrived, she was already in the pond.
Seeing the person struggling in the water, without a second thought, he imdiately jumped into the pond.
The bodyguards who arrived later also leaped in, but the pond’s water was too deep, and rescue efforts were not easily accomplished in a short ti.
Fortunately, Leng Zhishuo was an exceptionally good swimr.
Still, despite this, Miss Niannian had inhaled quite a bit of water.
By the ti Feng Yan got there, Xia Yinian had already been successfully rescued, but she had long since passed out.
Taking Xia Yinian from Leng Zhishuo’s arms, Feng Yan cautiously laid her on the lawn.
"Niannian, Niannian, wake up!"
Looking at the girl’s pale face, Feng Yan’s own expression was far from good.
In Feng Yan’s heart, there was only one thought: this girl must not have anything happen to her.
If she were to have an accident, Grandpa wouldn’t survive it!
