Chapter 475 Throwing yourself into my arms
With a splash, Cheng Yun'er fell straight into the lake. The little maid beside her was stunned, and even the four beggars were a little surprised.
How come he fell into the river?
The little girl took advantage of the beggar who grabbed her arm and struggled to break free, ran to the railing, and shouted in fear: "Miss, someone come and save my young lady."
Originally, the Prime Minister's wife was trapped in the middle, but before she could break free from the crowd, she heard cries for help from this side.
She suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. When she turned her head to look over here, her eyes widened. The maid who was shouting was the one next to Cheng Yun'er.
Needless to say, the person who fell into the water was undoubtedly Cheng Yun'er. She no longer cared about anything else and reached out to push the beggar next to her away.
"You damn beggars, if anything happens to my daughter, I will make sure you all die with her." The Prime Minister's wife roared with gritted teeth, then rushed towards Cheng Yun'er as fast as she could.
Hearing the maid's cry for help, many people gathered around, but most of them were young ladies and maids, and none of them could swim.
The little maid looked at Cheng Yun'er in the water and cried anxiously, but she couldn't swim. What should she do?
"All of you, get out of my way." The Prime Minister's wife shouted, and the onlookers immediately made way.
The situation was very urgent. Looking down from the railing, I saw Cheng Yun'er struggling in the lake, popping her head out from time to time, shouting for help. The scarf and hat on her face had long disappeared.
The Prime Minister's wife really wanted to jump in herself, but she couldn't swim. If she jumped in rashly, not only would she not be able to save anyone, she might even lose her own life.
"If anyone among you can swim, go down and save my daughter, I will give him one thousand taels of silver." Helplessly, the Prime Minister's wife had to shout to the crowd.
It is said that where there is a big reward there will always be brave men, and several men immediately stood up.
"Madam, please let me go. I am a good swimmer and I will definitely rescue the young lady."
"I can swim too. My family has lived by the river since I was little, and I started fishing in the river when I was three years old."
"I'll go, I'll go."
Seeing them rushing to get into the water, the Prime Minister's wife was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
The people who were talking were none other than this group of beggars, all of them were unkempt and slovenly. When a girl fell into the water, it was natural for them to let the women rescue her.
The beggar is a man. If he goes down to rescue his daughter and accidentally touches her body, his reputation will be completely ruined.
The previous incident has not yet passed. If this kind of thing happens again, Cheng Yuner will never be able to gain a foothold in the capital.
The Prime Minister's wife was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She saw Cheng Yun'er's cries for help in the water getting smaller and smaller, but no woman who could swim stood up.
But if the beggar was not allowed to go down to save his daughter, what if Cheng Yun'er drowned in the lake again? It had been quite a while since she fell into the lake.
Finally, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth and pointed at the two young beggars: "You two, go down and rescue my daughter, quickly, quickly."
At this point, my daughter’s life is what matters, so why bother about reputation?
The two beggars' eyes lit up. They threw away the wooden sticks and iron basins in their hands, then grabbed the railing and jumped into the lake.
The lake was still very deep. The two beggars jumped on the left and right of Cheng Yun'er, then swam towards her as fast as they could.
At this time, Cheng Yun'er was exhausted. She didn't know how much water she drank. She just felt her stomach was bloated and her consciousness began to become a little fuzzy.
She seemed to sense someone approaching her, and in a daze, she hugged the person tightly like an octopus.
The beggar was a young man. He was so happy to be embraced by such a rich lady. He thought it was a great honor to save someone by jumping into the water.
It would be great if this good thing could last a little longer, but unfortunately, things did not go as he wished, and the Prime Minister’s wife saw it clearly from above.
She was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. That damn beggar actually dared to take advantage of her daughter so openly.
"Hurry up and save my daughter. What are you still standing there for?"
At this time, another beggar also swam over and winked at him. The two looked at each other, then hugged Cheng Yun'er and swam towards the shore.
Cheng Yun'er still held the beggar tightly. It is said that people who fall into the water are unconscious, and no matter what they grab, they will always think it is a life-saving straw.
With the help of another beggar, the three of them quickly reached the shore.
At this moment, Cheng Yun'er no longer looked like a lady from a wealthy family. Her clothes were soaked, covering up her exquisite curves. Her originally flat belly was bloated from drinking so much water, and her face was pale as if she was dead.
"Hurry up and lay my daughter flat on the ground." The Prime Minister's wife had been waiting anxiously on the shore, and the crowd of onlookers also followed.
They didn't know who fell into the water before, but when the Prime Minister's wife appeared and called her daughter all the time, they knew who it was without having to guess.
You know, the Prime Minister's wife only gave birth to a daughter and a son, and the daughter must be Cheng Yun'er.
Some time ago, it was reported that she had an affair with a servant, and now she was fished out of the lake by a beggar. Many people smiled maliciously.
Isn't Cheng Yun'er the most beautiful and talented woman? Isn't she high and mighty? Now, let's see how you can still be high and mighty in the future.
Some young ladies who usually disliked Cheng Yun'er were all very happy in their hearts and pretended to be concerned and anxious on their faces.
"Miss Cheng has suffered a lot and drank a lot of water." A lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said delicately.
"Yeah, look at that belly, it's in such a bad state." Another young lady echoed him, but stopped talking halfway through, intentionally provoking people to make associations.
It was reported a while ago that Cheng Yuner had an affair with a servant, and now her belly is so bulging. Who knows what's going on?
Everyone understood the matter tacitly and acted as if it had nothing to do with them.
At this moment, the Prime Minister's wife didn't care what they said. Yun'er's life was at stake. She knew that if someone who fell into the water drank too much water, they must press their lower abdomen.
The maid held Cheng Yuner's head and asked her to tilt it slightly to prevent her from swallowing the vomited water. She knelt beside her daughter, crossed her hands, and pressed her stomach, again and again.
With each pressure, a lot of water would come out of Cheng Yuner's mouth. The Prime Minister's wife was both happy and nervous.
I was happy that Cheng Yuner responded, but I was nervous because why she kept her eyes closed?
Seeing that Cheng Yun'er was vomiting more and more water and her stomach was becoming flat, the Prime Minister's wife stopped her actions.
