Otherwise, he would rather destroy Xiao Ruge than let others get away with it.

But Xiao Ruge looked at him indifferently and shook her head to refuse.

"I still say the same thing. Thank you for your kindness, Fifth Prince. I am not interested in the main wife or concubine at all. Please marry someone else!"

At this time, the pleasure boat happened to be rowing next to a field of blooming lotus flowers. Xiao Ruge reached out and picked a half-opened lotus flower, put it under her nose and smelled it. It was quite fragrant!

The smile on Mu Bo's face had disappeared. His expression became extremely ugly. He clenched his fists tightly and rushed towards Xiao Ruge with overwhelming murderous intent.

Xiao Ruge acted as if she didn't notice anything. She directed Bai Zhi and Xiao Shuang to pick lotus pods and flowers and had a lot of fun.

Just when Mu Bo was thinking about whether he should take this opportunity to kill Xiao Ruge directly, Mu Gu walked over with his hands behind his back.

"So Brother Five and Miss Xiao are here! Are they here to enjoy the scenery too?"

Mu Gu looked at the two of them with a smile, looking harmless.

Mu Bo instantly retracted his murderous aura, raised his eyes and glanced coldly at Mu Gu, snorted softly, "The scenery here is so ugly, there's nothing to see."

After saying that, he stood up and left without looking back.

Xiao Ruge stood up pretentiously and saluted Mu Gu. Mu Gu smiled and sat not far from her, then lay on the side of the boat and pulled a lotus leaf to put on his head.

"What did you say? You made him so angry."

"He wanted to marry me as his principal wife, but I refused, and he got angry."

Xiao Ruge replied without even raising her head.

Then he asked Xiaoshuang to find a basket to put the lotus flowers and lotus pods in, and he picked up a lotus pod and started to pick fresh lotus seeds to eat.

Mu Gu looked at her eating happily with her cheeks puffed out, and couldn't help but said, "I want to eat too!"

Xiao Ruge picked up a lotus pod with her toes and threw it to Mu Gu. The two of them just sat not far away from each other and ate the lotus seeds in silence.

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the stern, and from the noisy sound, it seemed that someone had fallen into the water.

Xiao Ruge's eyes lit up, she lifted her skirt and ran towards the stern of the ship.

Mu Gu followed closely behind, and when they arrived, they saw Xiao Mingyue struggling in the water.

Chunzhi, who couldn't swim, was standing on the boat, anxiously shouting for help. Next to Chunzhi were Princess Jianing and Duanmu Ling, who looked helpless.

As for Lu Yu, the irresponsible man, he stood in the crowd and watched the excitement coldly.

This made Xiao Ruge curse inwardly: What a bastard!

"Miss Xiao Si and I have nothing, why is the princess making things difficult for her?"

Duanmu Ling explained, but Princess Jianing snorted coldly in return.

"Nothing. Why did you smile so beautifully at her just now? Duanmu Ling, we grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. Why haven't you smiled so gently at me before?"

Duanmu Ling sighed, "Princess, you are being unreasonable. Do you think I should be rude to someone who is talking to me nicely?"

"Princess, please let my young lady go! My young lady can't swim!"

Chunzhi was eager to protect her master, so she knelt on the ground and begged Princess Jianing, tears streaming down her face.

The main thing is that if something happens to Xiao Mingyue, she, as a servant, will not be much better off. Whether for Xiao Mingyue or for herself, she must beg for mercy.

Princess Jianing snorted and laughed, "Your young lady can't swim? That's great, we can take this opportunity to learn, so that we won't fall into the water and drown again in the future!"

After all, there are so many people here, and Princess Jianing can't really let Xiao Mingyue drown.

I just wanted to teach her a lesson and let her stay away from Duanmu Ling. I will send someone to rescue her later.

Seeing Xiao Mingyue gradually losing strength in the water, Xiao Ruge directly used his internal force to sink down. With a force on his right foot, the pleasure boat immediately shook uncontrollably.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Ruge kicked Lu Yu on the butt, and Lu Yu fell into the lake with a "plop".

Immediately afterwards, she pushed out another gust of palm wind, pushing Princess Jianing into Duanmu Ling's arms.

Her next plan could not be ruined by Princess Jianing. The only way now was to let her get entangled with Duanmu Ling first, so that she would not have the energy to find trouble here.

"Thank you, General Lu, for your help. Once you rescue my fourth sister, my Xiao family will definitely come to thank you!"

After doing all this, Xiao Ruge immediately shouted loudly into the lake.

Originally Lu Yu was very angry and wanted to turn around to see who kicked him down, but after hearing what Xiao Ruge said, he could only bite the bullet and swim towards Xiao Mingyue.

While paying attention to Lu Yu and Xiao Mingyue, Xiao Ruge took the time to glance at Princess Jianing.

Sure enough, she found herself being held in Duanmu Ling's arms with red cheeks, while Duanmu Ling looked at her with a frown, then gently pushed her away.

"You're really good at this!"

Mu Gu secretly gave Xiao Ruge a thumbs up, and Xiao Ruge winked at him cunningly.

She kept her anxious look on her face, and told Bai Zhi to find a bamboo pole to pull up Lu Yu and Xiao Ruge who had swam to the side of the boat, and asked with concern, "Fourth sister, are you okay?"

As soon as Xiao Mingyue was pulled onto the boat, he lay on the ground exhausted. He kept coughing because he had choked on water.

Chunzhi quickly took off her coat and put it on Xiao Mingyue, held her in her arms, and kept asking her if she was okay.

On the other side, Lu Yu stood there, all wet. He looked at Xiao Mingyue with a serious expression, and then said to Xiao Ruge, "Second Miss Xiao, you should take Fourth Miss Xiao back to see her!"

Xiao Ruge saluted Lu Yu and said with gratitude: "Thank you for what happened today, General Lu. I will tell my second uncle and my great-aunt about this when I get back, and I will definitely reward them generously!"

Lu Yu shook his head. "Miss Xiao is in a serious condition. It's just a piece of cake..."

"Ahem... General Lu saved my life, ahem... Mingyueming is deeply grateful, ahem..."

Xiao Mingyue was about to faint from coughing, but she still did not forget to seize the opportunity to get close to Lu Yu. Xiao Ruge really admired her perseverance.

The pleasure boat quickly returned to the shore, and Xiao Ruge and Xiao Mingyue hurriedly got off the boat and left.

Mu Gu, Duanmu Ling and others also got off the boat. Mu Bai had left long ago. He was in a bad mood today and even he walked as if there was a cold wind.

Mu Gu looked at his back as he left and couldn't help but chuckle.

Because of Xiao Ruge's matchmaking, Princess Jianing has been pestering Duanmu Ling since she got off the boat. Mu Gu just said hello to him and left.

……

Old Lady Xiao was talking to Nanny Qian when she heard the news that Xiao Mingyue had fallen into the water. She hurried to Mingyue Tower where Xiao Mingyue lived.

"How is this going?"

A majestic voice sounded from the door, and everyone in the room immediately turned around and saluted Old Lady Xiao.

"Don't worry, great-aunt. Fourth sister is fine now. She just got a little frightened. She will be fine after taking two doses of tranquilizers."
