Chapter 343: Chapter 343 More Wronged than Dou E
"Have you heard? Young Master Song jumped into the lake!"
"Young Master Song? That Song Yu? The one betrothed to Commandery Princess Dongyang?"
"Yes, thatās right, itās him, who else could it be, jumped into the lake at Liu Xiang Pavilion!"
"Oh dear, why on earth? His brother is the Prime Minister, his future wife is Commandery Princess Dongyang, heās got a wealthy fate gifted by the heavens, and yet he couldnāt think it through? Got his head squeezed?"
"Why else, of course, itās because of the betrothal. The bride isnāt just anyone, itās Commandery Princess Dongyang. Just imagine, once heās married, under the dominance of his wife, how would he dare be carefree and reckless outside?"
"He definitely couldnāt, the Commandery Princess could slice him in half with a single chop!"
"So you see, the young man couldnāt think it through."
"Shh, stop talking, Commandery Princess Dongyang is coming."
Everyone immediately stopped their chatter, watching Commandery Princess Dongyang gallop past, followed by a few fierce-looking guards.
After the fine horse passed by, everyone fanned away the dust near their noses, one coughed twice, and said, "If I were Song Yu, I might also not think it through, being dominated every night!"
Everyone: "..."
Niu Panāer, anxious and worried, fiercely waved the horsewhip, driving the horse toward the Prime Ministerās Mansion, while also feeling a tinge of sadness inside.
He knew he was wronged, but didnāt know he was this wronged, to the extent of not being able to think it through!
Song Zhiyu: "I swear to heaven and earth, I really wasnāt jumping into the lake, it was an accident, donāt you understand accident?"
My god, he knew once he fell into the water, heād instantly become the number one sensation in the capital city.
Sure enough, everyone thought he couldnāt think it through and jumped into the lake, damn it, heās more wronged than Dou E!
Song Ci smacked his head: "Accident, my foot, everyone saw it, who would believe it was an accident?"
"Mother, you donāt believe me either?" Song Zhiyu rubbed his head, his face full of frustration: "You know I can swim, whatās the point of jumping into the lake? That would be putting on a show, am I so bored as to stir up this mess, isnāt the lake water cold in the autumn, achoo, achoo."
He wrapped himself tighter in the blanket, shivering, the water in Bixing Lake was damn cold.
"You know it is said that in this era, among ten people who drown, five can swim?" Song Ci snorted.
Song Zhiyu was almost in tears, he knew from the moment he fell into the water, he wouldnāt be able to wash away his reputation.
"In any case, it was an accident, oh, it was because I got startled and lost my footing and fell into the lake, definitely not because I couldnāt think it through." Song Zhiyu sniffled and said, "At my age, I havenāt lived enough, where would I have the heart to die, especially when Iām destined for a lifetime of endless prosperity and wealth, unless my brain was kicked by a donkey, I wouldnāt think it through and die."
"Uncle, itās good you think this way, nothing is more important than life. Isnāt it just getting married? Letās close our eyes, itās just a lifetime, not worth dying for." Mrs. Jiang supported her waist and said, "From now on, you need to be careful, donāt get close to water, I see youāre not that skilled."
Mrs. Lu added, "In my opinion, a guard should be following you closely at all times."
Song Zhiyu: "..."
It felt like they werenāt comforting, but stabbing him with knives.
"Your sisters-in-law are right, apart from life and death, nothing is serious, nothing is insurmountable, letās look at things positively, okay." Song Ci patted his hand and said.
When she heard this brat had jumped into the lake, she was so scared she almost died on the spot, she had to take two calming pills to settle down.
An accident is fine, just afraid it wasnāt an accident.
"Mother, the Commandery Princess has come to visit you." Madam Song entered with a smile.
Song Zhiyuās eyes widened, even she came, this time it was really a huge embarrassment!
