Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Under the grandest river lantern, the crowd gathered to witness the spectacle.

As soon as they saw, it turned out to be that shameless, shamelessly affectionate unmarried couple. Everyone gritted their teeth in frustration.

Don’t look!

You’ll feel frustrated if you do!

How can they not feel frustrated? For these unmarried young masters, a fool managed to marry the most beautiful woman in the Capital. And for these noble ladies, Liu Shimei was promised to a fool who unquestionably obeys her!

But Liu Shimei was completely oblivious to the trouble their unconsciously shameless display of affection caused others. Her eyes were fixed on their lantern, fearing it might sink.

Huangfu Lingyao stood on the side, occasionally glancing at the lantern, then at her. Seeing her so nervous, he couldn’t help but smile. “Don’t worry, Wife. You made the lantern so well; nothing will happen to it.”

However, just after he assured her that nothing would happen, fate proved otherwise.

Many lanterns began to float on the river, but among the various lanterns, the one formed by Huangfu Lingyao and Liu Shimei was the largest and most eye-catching.

Hand in hand, they were admiring the numerous lanterns floating on the river when suddenly, a scream pierced the air.

“Ah!”

Liu Shimei quickly turned her head and then discovered the unfortunate truth

Their lantern had been hit by a person who fell into the water with a splash!

She exclaimed, “My lantern!”

Huangfu Lingyao was immediately furious, “Who did this!”

Then they heard someone shout, “Assassin!”

Changge quickly approached Liu Shimei and said, “Eldest Miss, there’s an assassin. Forget about others; let’s quickly find Miss Yutong and leave this place of trouble!”

Liu Shimei had no hero complex. She only wanted her family to be safe.

However, Liu Shimei seemed to have noticed something. “Who fell into the water? Isn’t that Miaozhen’s elder brother standing by the river? Why is he so anxious? Could it be that Miaozhen fell into the water?”

In this way, they wouldn’t leave immediately.

But still, they had to keep Shu Yutong close by to feel at ease. So, without caring about the situation on Zhang Miaozhen’s side, Liu Shimei said, “Miaozhen has her older brother with her, so he should take care of her. Let’s bring Tongtong over first. Later, when Miaozhen is rescued, I’ll go over to examine her!”

With so many people and guards, they should be able to rescue Zhang Miaozhen.

Moreover, even if she went over, she wouldn’t be of much help.

Huangfu Lingyao, being tall, quickly found Mo’er and Lian Qiao. “Little Water Bucket is over there!”

He tightly held his wife’s hand and walked toward Shu Yutong.

“What happened?” Mo’er’s face was pale, holding Shu Yutong’s hand tightly with Lian Qiao.

Huangfu Lingyao approached and immediately picked up Shu Yutong. With one hand holding his little disciple, and the other holding his wife, he said, “It’s an assassin! Wife, maybe let’s not go over. I’m worried about you!”

Because the distance was still quite far, it wouldn’t affect them for the time being.

But if they went over, who knows what might happen!

When the Crown Prince left the palace, he naturally had the Yulin Guards with him. Someone shouted, “Protect the prince! Protect the prince!”

However, those assassins didn’t seem to be targeting the Crown Prince. The Yulin Guards were of no use, and soon all the assassins retreated.

Liu Shimei squinted her eyes and whispered, “I’m afraid… they were originally targeting Miaozhen, weren’t they?”

Seeing the assassins retreat, she pulled her silly puppy and said, “Let’s go and see!”

When they arrived, Zhang Miaozhen had already been pulled out of the river.

However, when she was pulled out, she was only wearing a bra and underwear. Her clothes were nowhere to be found!

When she fell into the water, she definitely wasn’t naked.. Could someone have undressed her in the water?
