General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

Chapter 281 - Chapter 281: Saving Someone



Thank you readers!

The scenery on the lake was uniquely good.

The two of them came to the deck to admire the lake and mountains in the capital.

“I didn’t know the scenery in the capital was so beautiful.”

She had been in the capital for half a month and the furthest she had been was the Protector Duke’s Estate. Although the scenery of the mansion was also pleasant, it could not compare to the natural lake scenery.

She rested her elbows on the railing and quietly enjoyed this moment of silence.

Wei Ting stood beside her expressionlessly.

Su Xiaoxiao leaned on the railing and took a step up.

Wei Ting subconsciously moved closer to her.

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Wei Ting, look, there’s fish!”

Wei Ting replied indifferently, “Yes.”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, ‘Was the fish we ate caught from the lake?”

Wei Ting said, “I fished across the lake.”

There were too many people here, and the fish had long been frightened away. If he wanted the fattest and most tender fish, he had to go to a place with fewer people to fish.

Wei Ting looked nonchalant, but he responded to everything Su Xiaoxiao said, even if his tone was very cold.

The wind blowing from the lake was mixed with coldness.

“Achoo!”

Su Xiaoxiao sneezed.

Wei Ting turned around and entered the room.

At this moment, a loud thud suddenly came from not far away, followed by a panicked scream.

“Ah! Not good! Someone fell into the water!”

“Help!”

The owner of the pleasure boat, who was halfway through killing the fish, also heard the commotion and quickly ran out with a kitchen knife.

The chubby girl who had previously said sweetly that she was a little seasick lifted her skirt and stepped on the railing domineeringly. She jumped forward and smashed… Uh no, jumped into the water!

It was a young man who fell into the water.

She grabbed the other party and threw him back onto the deck of the pleasure boat like a sack.

Someone exclaimed.

In her previous life, Su Xiaoxiao was extremely good at swimming, and so was this body. What held her back was the heavy clothes on her body, which had become several times heavier after soaking in water.

On the pleasure boat, a kind-hearted person pointed at Su Xiaoxiao, who was swimming upstream in the lake, and shouted, “Quick, quick, quick! Give that good man a helping hand!”

Su Xiaoxiao, who thought she was a soft girl, was speechless.

No one could be blamed for this. Little Su’s small actions were too fast. Before everyone could see who it was, they heard a loud bang. A huge wave rose from the lake, causing the pleasure boat to sway.

If Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t thrown the young man into the boat, they would have thought that someone… had fallen into the water.

Su Xiaoxiao rejected the bamboo pole!

Wei Ting really did not expect that a certain someone would fall into the water just as he went to the room to get a cloak.

Fortunately, Wei Ting’s strength was powerful. He tapped his toes and swept across the water like a sandgull, picking Su Xiaoxiao up. The two of them landed on the deck of the pleasure boat next door.

“Aiya! Someone died…’ “Is there a physician?”

“Young man! Wake up!”

The kind guests on the pleasure boat surrounded the young lad who had been rescued.

The young man’s face was pale and he was unconscious.

The boatman realized that something was wrong and hurriedly sent a waiter to the medical center to get a physician.

However, the nearest medical center was also two miles away. Who knew if he could make it in time…

The boatman was worried.

If a life was lost on his ship, how could he do business in the future?

To the east, another pleasure boat slowly approached. It was different from the pleasure boats on the shore that were actually a few floating restaurants. This was a really luxurious ship that could travel freely on the entire lake. There were two floors, as if an exquisite small attic had been built on the ship. In a room on the second floor, Princess Hui An noticed the commotion on the other side.

She rarely had the chance to leave the palace. Today, she had begged her brother for a long time before he agreed to bring her to the ship.

“Third Brother! Look! Something seems to have happened over there!”

The news of Jingning teaching the young profligate in the capital a lesson had already spread to the palace. Everyone was secretly praising Jingning for being upright and punishing evil. She had the demeanor of the Great Zhou’s first princess.

Princess Hui An was very unconvinced.

“Did someone get bullied?”

Hmph, she also wanted to help when she saw injustice! She was better compared to Jingning!

Changping ran outside and craned his neck to take a look. “I think someone is drowning… They’re calling for a physician…”

They were accompanied by Imperial Physician Hu’s grandson, Hu Hui.

The Hu family had practiced medicine for generations. When it came to Hu Hui’s generation, although the imperial examination was their main goal, they had been influenced at home since they were young and more or less knew a little. Usually, in the Directorate, if anyone had a headache or fever, they could get a prescription from Hu Hui without hiring a doctor.

Xiao Zhonghua looked at Hu Hui. “Do you know how to treat someone who drowned?”

Hu Hui cupped his hands. “I’ve treated a few cases with Grandpa.”

Princess Hui An immediately said, “Then quickly save that person! Remember, I asked you to go!”

Hu Hui bowed to her. “Yes.”

Xiao Zhonghua said to Jing Yi, “Take Young Master Hu over.”

Jing Yi grabbed Hu Hui’s shoulder and brought him to the pleasure boat.

However, the two of them were a step late.

Someone was already saving the drowning victim.

Su Xiaoxiao knelt beside him. She was wet and her eyes were watery. She felt very uncomfortable.

Ignoring the tears of pain in her eyes, she crossed her hands and pressed hard on the other party’s chest.

Hu Hui frowned. Seeing that the person administering resuscitation was a woman, his frown deepened. He strode over. ‘What are you doing? Get out of the way!”

Wei Ting looked at Hu Hui coldly.

Hu Hui’s eyebrows twitched!

Lord… Lord Wei?!

Wei Ting was also a student of the Directorate in his early years. In terms of seniority, Hu Hui should call him senior.

However, Wei Ting had long entered the court as an official. When Hu Hui saw him, he had to respectfully address him as Lord Wei or General Wei.

On the other side, Jing Yi was also very surprised.

However, he was not surprised by Wei Ting. After all, he had long known that Wei Ting had returned to the capital.

He recognized Su Xiaoxiao, who was saving the drowning person.

He stood rooted to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Su Xiaoxiao was so focused on saving the patient that she did not notice Jing Yi coming over.

Drowning was not the worst-case scenario. His heart had stopped.

She let the patient lie flat on the deck, pulled open the patient’s collar, took off the patient’s belt, and knelt on both knees again, riding the patient. This posture… attracted a wave of criticism from the surrounding people. “I thought you were a man, but you’re a girl.”

“The girl took off a man’s pants in public and… and even did such an unbearable thing in public. It’s really humiliating!”

“Yes, it’s outrageous!”

They seemed to have forgotten that Su Xiaoxiao had risked her life to save him.

In ancient times, where reputation was greater than the sky and women had a low status, Su Xiaoxiao’s actions could be said to have challenged everyone’s bottom line.

The reason why no one went forward to tear her apart and throw her into the water was all because of Wei Ting.

Everyone’s discussion made Hu Hui come back to his senses.

His expression turned solemn as he said to Wei Ting, “Lord Wei! Hurry up and

stop her! The patient drowned.. She’ll kill someone like this!”
