The old lady is reborn

Chapter 245: Fire on the Houseboat

One month after Luo Wenliang's death, something big happened to Rong Yunmiao in Nan'an Marquis Mansion.

The old Marquis of Dongyang is seriously ill, and I would like to inform Your Majesty that his eldest son will inherit the title.

The Dongyang Marquisate has always enjoyed a good reputation as a clean and honest place, and the current emperor quickly approved it.

It turned out that Rong Yunmiao was engaged to the eldest son of the current Marquis of Dongyang, who was the eldest grandson at that time. Later, the marriage was cancelled by Song Ying and Ming Dai.

Ming Dai has always felt that this is a good match and it would be a pity to cancel it. Now she couldn't help but mention it in front of her daughter: "He will be the prince soon.

You were brought up by your mother from childhood, and all you learned was how to be the mistress of the house... What a good family, with a good family tradition, ah!"

Rong Yunmiao felt very upset after hearing this. Luo Wenliang was dead, but they all acted as if nothing had happened.

Having lost the Dongyang Marquis's relative by marriage, he still misses her all the time.

So you want this marriage?

Are you afraid that sending me to Shazhou County will ruin the reputation of the two marquisates?

A long-time friend of Dongyang Hou Han Jitang was moving his family out of Kyoto. He booked a cruise ship and invited seven or eight friends to enjoy the scenery of the lake and sky on the cruise ship. It was also the last time they got together before parting.

When Han Jitang arrived at the lake, the captain was already waiting for him. After getting on the boat, he opened the sunshade of the pleasure boat, but saw no one there. Where were his old friends?

When he asked the boat captain, he pointed to a pleasure boat in the distance in the lake. There were six or seven people on it, who looked like his friends.

Is this the ship that will take me there?

The captain nodded.

Han Jitang sat down with peace of mind.

Suddenly, I heard what seemed to be a voice. I stood up but there was no one there. I walked a few steps and opened the window of the houseboat. I saw a young woman releasing a water lantern beside the boat.

As if she sensed someone behind her, the woman turned around and was surprised to see that there was someone else on the boat.

Her whole body tilted, and she fell into the water with a scream, and the water lantern in her hand flew out.

Han Jitang quickly jumped into the water to save people. The captain at the stern of the boat also heard the noise and came over.

The water lantern that fell out of my hand somehow flew onto the sunshade and set it on fire.

When the old boat lady saw the fire, she was anxious to put it out. She tried to scoop water from the lake to put out the fire, but it was just a drop in the bucket. The fire grew bigger and bigger, so the boat captain had no choice but to abandon the boat and jump into the water.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of people playing on the lake.

Several nearby pleasure boats came over to rescue people.

The Marquis of Dongyang and Rong Yunmiao from the Marquis of Nan'an who fell into the water were rescued and boarded another pleasure boat.

Soon, rumors spread that the two of them went boating on the lake together and fell into the water.

It was inevitable that people would talk about it. No wonder he started to cancel the engagement and asked Rong Yunmiao to go to such a far place as Shazhou County to "recuperate."

The son's wife, who is not yet married, has an unclear relationship with his father.

The Nan'an Marquis' Mansion and the Dongyang Marquis' Mansion looked quite respectable on a normal basis, but this incident happened.

It’s still a clear stream!

"People from the same family don't enter the same door. They are all capable of pretending!"

Marquis Dongyang was really angry. What kind of people could think of things like this!

To be able to say such words!

In his opinion, it was just a coincidence.

Would you see someone fall into the water and not save him?

If we don't rescue the ship, we will have to abandon it if it catches fire.

But what to do now?

Rong Yunmiao fell ill as soon as she came back. Although it was a nice day, the cold lake water made her shiver.

He had already developed a high fever when he was sent back to Nan'an Marquis' Mansion.

She was in a daze and her family couldn't ask her what had happened.

The two maids assigned by Mingdai were sent away by the young lady to do some errands and missed the boat.

The two were terrified after the incident.
