Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 364 A Bad Woman Is Indeed Unpopular (2)

The Mu Family garden is very large, the pond located at the edge of the garden, quite a distance away from the main house, so the maid is practically shouting at the top of her lungs, very different from Su Aiping’s earlier somewhat pretentious shouting.

"Lan, stop shouting. Even if you shout so loudly, there’s no guarantee anyone will hear." The louder the maid shouted, the more irritated Su Aiping felt, but she didn’t show her inner irritation and impatience; instead, she said calmly, "Come, let’s put in some effort together and help Sister-in-law up first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Aiping immediately supported Song Jialing to move forward, but just as they took a step, Song Jialing gasped in pain!

"Don’t move! My back hurts!" Song Jialing bent over, her expression a bit pained.

"Sister-in-law, did you strain your back? Oh dear, what should we do now?"

Hearing this, Su Aiping first looked surprised, then "anxious," her face full of worry and guilt. She even blamed herself, "It’s all my fault! If I hadn’t accidentally fallen into the water, you wouldn’t have..."

"Stop saying that, it’s not like you did it on purpose." Song Jialing held back her pain to interrupt Su Aiping, then forced a bitter smile, joking with herself, "Let’s just consider us three unlucky today!" Who’s to blame!

"Help! Someone help! Madam fell into the water."

Suddenly, the maid started shouting again, her loud and piercing voice made Su Aiping frown.

"Lan, stop shouting." Su Aiping once again stopped the maid from shouting, complaining, "I usually think you’re quite bright; why are you acting so foolish now? You’ve called out so many times and no one has come out from the house. If you keep shouting, you’ll just wear yourself out without any result, and it’s making my heart race; it feels like my heart condition is about to flare up!"

"What else can I do? I can’t leave Madam here and walk away on my own!"

Lan was extremely anxious. Though she was just a maid, everyone in the Mu Family treated her very well, especially last year when her mother was sick, Song Jialing not only gave her a long leave but also helped with money and effort. So, besides gratitude and thankfulness, Lan also held great respect for Song Jialing and the Mu Family. Knowing Song Jialing was hurt, she was naturally tense and self-blaming.

"How dare you talk back to me!" Su Aiping said unhappily, "Go and call someone quickly, I’ll take care of Sister-in-law here, you don’t have to worry!"

"But Madam is injured. If you don’t have enough strength to support her, it could be worse if she falls again!"

"It’s fine, I can manage, just go and come back quickly!" Su Aiping assured with confidence.

"Well... alright, I’ll go."

"Stop dawdling, hurry up!" Su Aiping urged impatiently.

Okay!

Having made up her mind, Lan took a big step towards the pond, then sprinted towards the main house like a hundred-meter dash, not daring to waste even a split second.

"Sir..."

Reaching the main house’s entrance, Lan was nearly out of breath, gulping down some air, she struggled to get out the words.

At that moment, Mu Hongbo was playing chess in the living room with Mu Hongwen. Hearing Lan’s call, he turned his head, seeing her panting heavily, he asked with concern, "Lan, what’s wrong?"

"Madam... Madam fell into the water."

Hearing this, Mu Hongbo immediately stood up, his usually calm demeanor showing a hint of tension, "Weren’t you just watching the fish? How did she fall into the water?"

"Second Madam accidentally fell in, and Madam tried to pull her up but fell in too." Despite her anxiety, Lan’s thoughts were clear, summing up the incident in just a few sentences.

"And where is she now?"

"Still by the pond, with a twisted back." Lan said nervously. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"How could you be so careless!" Saying this, Mu Hongbo stepped out, completely disregarding his brother and chess companion Mu Hongwen and the intense chess game they were engaged in.

Mu Hongbo was tall and had long legs, so even without running, it was hard for Lan to keep up with him. After a few steps, she was already out of breath again!

"How did your clothes get wet too?"

Before long, Lan had fallen behind Mr. Mu while Mr. Mu Hongwen, who was following, caught up and asked calmly, "Did you fall into the water too?"

"Yes." Lan felt useless, dropping her head in shame, murmuring a reply.

"The two of you couldn’t hold one person?" Mu Hongwen squinted his deep-set eyes skeptically.

"Madam went to pull up Second Madam first, then Second Madam’s foot probably slipped, she lost her balance. I tried to hold onto Madam, but I wasn’t strong enough and fell into the water with her."

Mu Hongwen was always serious and rarely smiled, making him seem distant and stern. Most of the time, Lan didn’t dare to look him in the eye; even when speaking to him, she habitually lowered her head slightly. Thus, she didn’t notice Mu Hongwen’s already stern face growing three shades darker.

"You old fool, can you be any dumber? Watching fish and falling into the water?" Mu Hongbo was both anxious and worried, but he didn’t say it aloud. He quickened his steps as he approached the pond, and before he even steadied himself, he began to scold Song Jialing.

"Big Brother, it’s all my fault, I..."

"I’m in so much pain, and you’re still making snide remarks!" Song Jialing had been holding back her pain, not wanting Su Aiping to worry, so she hadn’t said much. However, upon hearing Mu Hongbo’s blame, she couldn’t hold back any longer. Her eyes instantly welled up, and her words were filled with grievance.

"I..." Mu Hongbo was momentarily speechless. Taking a step forward, he stood in front of Song Jialing, unconsciously revealing his tension, "Hurry, raise your hand, I’ll carry you inside to change."

"No, you’re just an old man, afraid you might strain your back!" Although Mu Hongbo lived a disciplined life and was very healthy, he was still over fifty. How could he easily carry her around like when he was young?

"You old lady, are you trying to annoy me on purpose? Don’t you know best whether I have the strength? I carried you yesterday!" Mu Hongbo said loudly, every word clearly falling into everyone’s ears.

The relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Mu was truly enviable!

Lan listened with great envy! But Su Aiping felt a pang of jealousy, sneering in contempt: Showing off their love at this age, do they have no shame!

As for Song Jialing, although she wasn’t a thin-skinned person, being a grandmother now, she really felt uncomfortable discussing her affection with Mu Hongbo in front of others.
