Prince Ning Fu was from a family of military generals. For generations, there had been no one who wasn't skilled at horseback archery.

Even though the current Prince Ning had taken up a civil position in the imperial court, it didn't mean that he had completely given up on horseback archery.

Even the Old Madame herself could wield swords and spears when she was young.

However, this Lu Wenxiu was — trash!

At this moment, the Old Madame was indeed beside herself with anger. She never thought that Lu Wenxiu would be such an idiot!

He couldn't even lift a bucket, how could he go to the battlefield?!

Moreover, Prince Ning had specially invited an imperial army instructor to teach him and Lu Yu-an. How could they have been taught to such a weak piece of trash?!

In recent years, the Old Madame had been living in seclusion in Mei 'an Park and rarely came out. Every time she came out of the birthday banquet, Lu Yu-an and Lu Wenxiu would perform swords and sabers to cheer her up. She thought that although Lu Wenxiu wasn't as good as Lu Yu-an, he was still somewhat promising and wouldn't ruin Prince Ning Fu's reputation.

However, now that she happened to see this scene by the stream, she realized that she had been deceived!

At every birthday banquet, Lu Wenxiu's showy but impractical moves were all done at the last minute. He didn't have any real skills at all.

Otherwise, why would he be so weak and pale like a cripple when carrying a bucket of water?

The Old Madame's expression was extremely unsightly. She placed the golden stove in her arms in the hands of a maidservant behind her and quickly walked over. Lady Ning's expression wasn't good either. She stared at Lu Huan and frowned, then hurriedly followed.

A group of maidservants swarmed behind her.

The people by the stream didn't expect the Old Madame to appear here and were immediately shocked.

The servants all knelt on the ground. "Old Madame."

Lu Wenxiu clutched his leg in pain, but when he saw the Old Madame, his pupils shrank and he quickly got up. "G-grandmother."

Useless thing.

The Old Madame looked him up and down and saw that his legs were trembling. She looked down on him.

The Old Madame turned her head in annoyance, and her gaze fell on Lu Huan, who was silently bowing to her.

Instead, it was Lu Huan who surprised her.

Only the son of the first wife could inherit the family business. Thus, when the Imperial Army instructors came to teach, only the two brothers, Lu Yu-an and Lu Wenxiu, were allowed to study.

But after so many years of learning, they couldn't even compare to a bastard who had nothing.

Lady Ning and Lu Wenxiu naturally noticed the old madam's expression.

Lady Ning's expression was unsightly. Lu Wenxiu immediately looked at his mother with some grievance and some panic. At the same time, he couldn't help but glare fiercely at Lu Huan. If it weren't for him, how could he make a fool of himself again and again?

"Grandmother, we're just playing games with Third Brother and Fourth Sister," Lu Wenxiu said. He quickly waved his hand behind him, indicating for the servants to let go of the bastard daughter.

The Old Madame didn't care whether or not Lu Wenxiu was bullying the two bastard sons. She said in annoyance, "If you're done playing games, then go back to study. A group of people crowding around the stream, what kind of scandal is this?!"

Lu Wenxiu hurriedly replied, "I'll go back to the quiet room to study."

After saying this, he waved his hand, indicating for the servants who came with him to quickly follow him.

This time, Lu Wenxiu called a large group of people to make things difficult for Lu Huan. When the Old Madame came, this large group of people knelt on the ground and didn't dare to leave. Thus, they all stood up and walked towards the long corridor. It was actually a bit crowded.

Lu Wenxiu glanced at Lu Huan. Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind.

The Old Madame must have seen the scene just now. Lu Huan caused him to become a good-for-nothing in the Old Madame's eyes. He really deserved to die. If he didn't get back at Lu Huan, was he really going to let him gain the Old Madame's appreciation?

A trace of viciousness appeared on his face. He whispered a few words to his trusted aide beside him.

All of this happened in a short period of time. The group of people on the screen didn't notice. However, Su Xi, who was outside the screen, suddenly put down his toothbrush. He looked speechlessly at the line of words that Lu Wenxiu whispered to his trusted aide on the screen.

"Think of a way to push Lu Huan into the stream. Let him push the Old Madame into the stream. I'd like to see if the Old Madame will still favor him after he made such a big mistake."

No — —

Xiu 'er, you're being watched. It's useless to whisper.

Just as Su Xi was staring at the screen, a chaotic scene occurred by the stream in an instant!

Lu Huan was about to pass by a few servants and go to the stream to take away Fourth Concubine's daughter, while the Old Madame and Lady Ning were standing by the stream.

Suddenly, a shifty-eyed servant stretched out his hand as Lu Huan passed by the Old Madame.

Lu Huan had always been vigilant. Naturally, it was impossible for him not to notice. He heard the slight movement of the wind behind him. His eyes moved, and he dodged.

The servant was stunned. Seeing that he didn't manage to hurt Lu Huan and was about to push the Old Madame, he quickly withdrew his hand.

But at this moment!

For some reason, his wrist seemed to be pinched by a force out of thin air. Then, it was desperately pulling him in another direction.

The servant's face instantly turned white. What the hell —?!!

Hand, hand, hand. Why didn't his hand listen to him?!

He desperately tried to pull his hand back, but the strange force was much stronger than him. It pulled him back and pushed his hand towards Lu Wenxiu's shoulder.

Lu Wenxiu was about to turn his head to watch the show, but he was suddenly pushed from the right. He couldn't stand steadily and his lower body floated. He subconsciously grabbed the collar of the old lady beside him.

Then, he grabbed the old madam and fell into the cold stream.

"…"

"Plop!" The thin layer of ice cracked, and the icy cold water splashed onto the bodies of the people by the stream.

Everyone: "…"

！！！

The scene froze for a second. Then, with Lady Ning's scream, everything turned into a mess.

Lady Ning and several maidservants were frantically shouting for help, "Help!

What are you all standing there for?! "

The servants turned pale with fright, but they all hesitated. But at this time, there were no guards who knew martial arts. On such a cold day, it was inevitable that they would catch a cold if they jumped in. They were not the heir or the old madam, and there was no stove to warm them up. The imperial court doctors would treat them. If they jumped in to save people, they would die.

In the bone-chilling stream, Lu Wenxiu panicked. His face was instantly pale from the cold. He struggled with all his might, but he almost drowned.

On the other hand, the old madam had some foundation. She calmly grabbed a rock and tried to stand up. But before she could stand firm, she was desperately tortured by Lu Wenxiu. She was almost dragged into the water again.

The old madam's lips were black from the cold. "…"

Outside the screen, Su Xi stared at her game avatar. For some reason, this was a great opportunity, but her game avatar looked on coldly for a few seconds. He held his three-year-old concubine's daughter and stood aside with a cold expression, as if he was watching from the sidelines.

A word appeared on the white bubble above his head: Ha.

Su Xi: "…"

Zaizai, you're not saving people!

Just as Su Xi was hesitating whether to push the mission and push Zaizai into the water and force him to save people, he finally moved.

He put down his concubine's daughter and jumped into the stream.

A moment later, the old madam and Lu Wenxiu were both rescued.

Lu Huan was also soaked. His black hair stuck to his thin clothes. His lips were white from the cold as he stepped onto the shore.

Old Madam and Lu Wenxiu both had servants and Madam of King Ning hurriedly surrounding them. They handed them cloaks and stoves and helped them wipe off the ice water on their bodies. However, there was no one around him.

He was expressionless. No one could tell what he was feeling. He lowered his eyes and wrung the water off his robe.

On the other side, the old madam recovered from the bone-chilling cold. Her whole body was shivering. She slapped Lu Wenxiu, who was also shivering beside her. She said angrily, "Idiot!

Trash!

Shut yourself in and reflect on your mistakes for a month. You're not allowed to come out! "

Lu Wenxiu was already about to lose consciousness from the cold. After being slapped, he almost fell to the ground. He trembled as he knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy. "Grandmother, I'm not. I didn't. I —"

He suddenly glared fiercely at his confidant and said, flustered and exasperated, "He pushed me!

Why the f * ck did you push me?! "

That confidant was already scared out of his wits by the ghost incident. How could he care about what Lu Wenxiu was saying? His face was pale as he knelt on the ground.

Lady Ning's expression was ugly. She hurriedly had someone bring the confidant over and said, "Speak properly. What happened just now?"

But the old madam was in no mood to pay attention to Lu Wenxiu's sophistry. In her heart, she had already determined that this legitimate son was a useless piece of trash.

She turned her gaze to Lu Huan in the corner and fixed it on him.

Just now, when she fell into the water, it was actually this concubine-born grandson who was the first to anxiously jump into the water to save her.

The old madam took a deep breath and suddenly beckoned to Lu Huan. "Come here."

Lu Huan wrung the corner of his robe until it was almost dry, but his entire body was still soaked. His lips were white from the cold, but his temperament was completely different from Lu Wenxiu, who was crying for his parents on the ground.

He silently walked over to the old madam.

Until now, no one had handed him a dry towel to wipe himself off.

Seeing the old madam's attitude, Su Xi knew that she had probably completed the initial task of "receiving the old madam's appreciation."

… But when she looked at the chaotic scene by the stream, she didn't know why but she didn't feel very happy.

She put down her toothbrush and watched the drenched Zaizai walk down the corridor step by step. She actually felt a bit of heartache for a game character.

Su Xi's fingers twitched. She couldn't help but use her thumb to rub the wet Zaizai on the screen. His hair was cold from head to toe.

It was clearly just a game, but she couldn't help but resonate with the game character.

She even had the urge to quickly complete more tasks and help Zaizai ascend to the throne of the emperor. That way, no one would ignore his thoughts.

But what Su Xi didn't know was that the moment Lu Huan was about to step onto the long corridor, he paused and couldn't help but raise his head.

He just felt that his drenched body seemed to warm up for a moment, as if a soft cloak was draped over him. This was a gentleness that this world had never given him before.

But that feeling was fleeting.

Lu Huan only frowned and continued to walk towards the old madam.
