Chapter 235: The Grand Wife Pretends to Be a Pig and Eats a Tiger
Jiaorou thought of Daiyu in the garden, so she quickly walked into the room and picked out some of Daiyu's favorite cakes.
Then she told the maid beside her to quickly make a pot of fragrant tea.
After everything was ready, Jiaorou held the tray in both hands and hurried towards the back garden.
Along the way, Jiaorou felt very happy.
I thought that today I could have a drink with Daiyu around the fire.
However, just as she stepped into the back garden, a loud noise came into her ears.
Following the sound, I saw a group of girls gathered not far away, chattering and watching something exciting.
Jiaorou couldn't help but quicken her pace, wanting to find out what was going on.
As the distance got closer, she vaguely heard a few girls shouting in panic:
"Help! Help! Concubine Yu has fallen into the water!"
This sudden cry was like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the delicate heart.
Her face turned pale, her hands shook, and she almost dropped the tray in her hands.
Without thinking too much, Jiaorou handed the pastry to a little girl passing by, then lifted her skirt and ran forward like an arrow.
When she ran up to him, Jiaorou took a closer look and the scene in front of her made her gasp.
Daiyu was seen struggling desperately in the water, splashing water everywhere, while the maids were standing on the shore, anxious but helpless.
For a moment, Jiaorou felt her mind go blank and she was completely stunned.
But soon, Jiaorou forced herself to calm down.
She shouted anxiously to the two little girls beside her:
"Hurry, both of you! Go to the front yard and find a few good swimmers! Hurry and rescue Concubine Yu to shore!"
After saying that, she bit her lips tightly, her eyes fixed on Daiyu who was struggling in the water, her heart already in her throat.
Before Jiaorou's gentle and graceful voice had completely fallen, at this moment, the eldest wife led Concubine Lan slowly towards them.
"What happened?"
The eldest wife's face darkened, and she stared at Jiao Rou solemnly, her eyes so sharp that they seemed to be able to penetrate people's thoughts.
Jiao Rou was stared at by the eldest lady with such a sharp gaze, and she was immediately panicked and stammered in response:
"Reply... reply to the First Lady, I'm going to the room to get some cakes.
Who would have thought that when I came back, I would find that Yu...Yu Fujin had suddenly fallen into the water for some unknown reason!
As she spoke, Jiaorou cast her anxious gaze towards Daiyu who was struggling desperately in the water.
"What? How could he fall into the water out of nowhere?
How did you take care of her?
Don't you know she's pregnant? This is just nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest wife was furious, her face turned ashen, and she glared at Jiao Rou fiercely, her eyes full of blame and anger.
Then, the eldest wife shouted anxiously: "Quick, go to the front and find a few servants who are good at swimming to come and rescue them!"
After giving the order, the first wife did not have time to think about it. She hurried to the water's edge and shouted loudly to Daiyu in the water:
"Don't be afraid, I've already sent a maid to find a servant to rescue you. You must hold on!"
At this moment, Daiyu was already frightened out of her wits, and her whole body was immersed in the freezing cold river water.
She struggled hard to float to the surface, but her body seemed to be dragged down by an invisible force and continued to sink.
The cold river water irritated her skin, causing her whole body to shiver involuntarily. She felt the coldness surging from all directions.
It seemed as if something horrible was pulling her hard, trying to drag her completely into the endless dark abyss.
Jiaorou was extremely anxious, and she seemed unable to wait even a moment longer for the servant to come.
He hurriedly took off his shoes and socks, walked to the edge of the pool, and was about to go in.
The eldest wife saw through her thoughts at once and quickly sent a maid to stop her. She scolded her loudly:
"Yu Fujin is young and ignorant, and you are also ignorant! You don't know how to swim, so you rush down to die!"
But Jiaorou was so focused on saving Daiyu at the moment that she didn't care to listen to any of this and went into the water without hesitation.
The angry eldest lady sent a few maids to watch over her.
At this moment, several servants who were familiar with water came. They jumped into the water nimbly and rescued Daiyu in a short while.
Daiyu was carried ashore by them, and the eldest wife sent someone to call a doctor quickly.
Jiaorou watched Daiyu being rescued. She was soaking wet, pale, weak and exhausted, and had already fainted.
She kept pulling at Daiyu, crying and shouting:
"Yu'er, Yu'er, wake up..."
Unexpectedly, the eldest wife pulled Jiao Rou away and said sternly, "Go, bring the bed quilt over!
When she wakes up, carry her to her room in a sedan chair!"
Jiao Rou then remembered and hurriedly took the maids to the nearest yard to get a quilt.
After Jiaorou left, the eldest wife looked at Daiyu who was in coma and thought that even if the doctor came, it would take half an hour.
He rolled up his sleeves and squatted down gently.
She asked Aunt Lan to help support Daiyu. She kept pressing Daiyu's chest with her hands. After a long time, Daiyu still didn't wake up.
The eldest wife stood up and rubbed her hands?
She asked the maids and Aunt Lan to turn Daiyu to the side, and she pressed hard on Daiyu's back.
With a loud "splash", Daiyu vomited out all the water in her stomach.
Everyone continued to help her turn to her side, and after Daiyu vomited several times, she slowly woke up.
At this time, Jiaorou just came over and saw Daiyu slowly opening her eyes.
She hurried over with a quilt to cover Daiyu, but she heard the maids whispering:
"The eldest wife is so powerful. She squeezed out the water in Yufujin's stomach in just a few strokes!"
Jiao Rou didn't care about these things. She looked at Daiyu who was soaked all over and said distressedly:
"Sister, are you okay?"
Daiyu gently pointed at the eldest lady and raised her head slightly to express her gratitude.
The eldest wife said calmly, "Come quickly, carry Yu Fujin to her room!"
Everyone hurriedly lifted Daiyu onto the sedan chair. Daiyu felt weak all over, but her mind was clear.
When I was rescued just now, I was in a daze. I only heard the eldest lady pressing me with her hands. It seemed that I felt better after vomiting out the water in my stomach.
Jiaorou followed Daiyu closely, holding her hand gently, trying to ease her tension.
After arriving at Cuizhu Garden, Jiaorou took the maids to dry Daiyu's body, change her into clean clothes, and wrap her tightly with a quilt.
Jiao Rou held her hand tenderly, touched Dai Yu's cold forehead, and cried,
"Sister, I'll be with you tonight!"
At this time, the doctor came and the first wife told the doctor the simple situation.
He then placed his hand on Daiyu's wrist and took her pulse.
After about an incense stick of time, the doctor took his hand away.
He looked at Daiyu's pupils again, listened to her heartbeat gently, and then smiled and told the eldest wife:
"Reporting to the Grand Wife, this lady is safe and sound!
I guess she was too frightened, luckily the fetus was fine.
I think you'll have a cold for a few days. I'll prescribe some cold-relieving medicine and tranquilizing powder for you."
After hearing this, the eldest wife nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Thank you, doctor!"
After the doctor finished speaking, he went to prescribe medicine. The eldest wife and concubine Lan sat beside the table, while Jiaorou stayed by Daiyu's bedside without leaving.
Although Daiyu woke up at this time, she was still a little scared when she thought about what had just happened, so she fell into a deep sleep.
When the eldest wife saw that the maids had all gone down, she called Jiao Rou over and scolded her loudly, "Concubine, you are not children anymore!
This is Concubine Yu’s first child, which is a great joyous event for the palace!
When she wakes up, tell her to be extremely careful and to consider the baby in her belly in everything she does!"
Jiao Rou quickly knelt down and nodded, saying, "I will definitely remember the instructions of the Grand Concubine!"
After saying this, the eldest wife took Aunt Lan away.
After a while, Daiyu woke up.
Her whole body was burning hot, her face was pale and she was trembling all over, but she was still in good spirits. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jiaorou.
Jiao Rou saw that she had woken up and hurriedly said, "Yu'er, are you okay? How did you fall down?"
Daiyu paused and said in a weak voice:
"I just went to feed the fish for a while and leaned against the railing.
Who knew that the railing had been in disrepair for a long time, and it suddenly broke, and I fell into the water!
"The railing is broken?"
Jiaorou then remembered that she should go over and see where Daiyu fell into the water.
What's more, the eldest lady's enthusiasm this time was a bit too much.
Thinking of this, Jiaorou gently comforted Daiyu:
"Don't think about it. I'll feed you some medicine myself later so you can have a good sleep!"
The eldest wife walked slowly along the path with Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan asked in confusion, "Mrs. Daifu, she fell into the water on her own, so we can save ourselves the trouble. Why did we bother to save her?"
Unexpectedly, the eldest lady brushed off the dirt on her body that had just been rubbed against her when she rescued Daiyu, and said lightly:
"This is called pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
It's a life after all!"
