Xia Muqing was in a good mood as she stroked the lotuses with a pleasant smile on her face.

Ruan Yu and Xia Churan, who had been paying attention to her, felt their hearts skip a beat. How come she wasn’t poisoned?

Soon after, the two of them realized that something was wrong with them. Their faces had turned red and their breathing had quickened.

Xia Muqing looked at them and asked, “Are you all wondering why I didn’t have any reaction?”

Ruan Yu’s eyes turned sharp. “What did you do?”

Xia Muqing chuckled. “It was clearly the both of you who did something to me. Why are you asking me?”

Ruan Yu immediately understood what she meant and said, “Come on, let’s go back.”

The boatman who had been rowing the entire time hadn’t heard their conversation. Only when Ruan Yu shouted loudly did he hastily turn the boat around and sail towards the edge.

Xia Muqing didn’t stop them. She continued to admire the lotuses floating on the water. During this trip, she was probably the only one who had truly appreciated the lotuses in the entire pond.

‘Their strange behavior had also attracted the attention of Xia Jingtian and Ye Qingxuan. Ye Qingxuan instantly knew that Xia Muqing must have done something again and waited calmly for the show.

As soon as the boat stopped at the edge, Ruan Yu and Xia Churan rushed to exit the boat. However, they lost their balance and stumbled into the water. Once they entered the cold water, the heat in their bodies became much better.

Xia Jingtian hurriedly shouted, “Why aren’t you all saving them?”

Xia Muqing was still sitting in the boat. She glanced at Ruan Yu and Xia Churan struggling in the water and sneered. “Don’t tell me you think this is the end.”

Her voice made them feel that it was even more piercing than the cold water in the pond, and it made them shiver.

As they struggled, they saw Xia Muqing’s face clearly. It was as if they saw a devil. They finally understood that Xia Muqing was no longer the girl whom they could bully easily.

Jealousy and hatred flashed across Xia Churan’s eyes. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Xia Muqing’s ankle, wanting to drag her down with her.

Before Xia Muqing could kick her hand away, she was pulled into a strong embrace.

Ye Qingxuan… His embrace made her lose focus. She looked up and could only see a smooth and determined chin.

This embrace was very familiar. Xia Muqing suddenly reached out to cover the upper half of Ye Qingxuan’s face. Before she could see his features clearly, her hand was slapped away by Ye Qingxuan. He said, “What are you doing? Do you want to fall into the water with me, or do you want to take a bath with me again?”

These words reminded Xia Muqing of her bad experience yesterday at the king’s residence in Zhennan. She rolled her eyes at him impatiently, and her suspicions were instantly thrown to the back of her mind. How could she possibly have anything to do with a jerk like Ye Qingxuan?

She had almost mistaken Ye Qingxuan for Jin Chao. She shook her head and forgot about that dangerous thought.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

While she was letting her imagination run wild, Ye Qingxuan had already landed on the ground with her. Seeing that she looked dazed, he asked worriedly.

His voice… Xia Muqing looked at him in confusion again.

Ye Qingxuan’s eyes flashed and asked, “Is there something wrong with your head? I don’t want to marry a foolish wife.”

Xia Muqing was furious again and she snapped coldly, “I’m indeed crazy.”

That was for him and for herself.

At this time, Ruan Yu and Xia Churan had already been saved. The two of them were lying on the ground drenched. The servants didn’t dare to look at them. After pulling them out of the water, they placed them on the ground and turned around to take a few steps back.

The toxins in Ruan Yu and Xia Churan’s bodies weren’t severe as Xia Muqing had split it into two portions.. After being immersed in the cold water, the toxins were basically gone.
