Chapter 108 Nosy
Wang Xiao took the handkerchief handed over by the servant, wiped the water off his face, and said breathlessly: "My son happened to hear a woman calling for help when he was passing by. There was no one around, and he couldn't bear to see a life disappear, so he had to go down to save her!"
Mrs. Wang thought of the dispute between Shen Jingan and Zhao Baokun just now, and her face looked a little ugly for a moment.
"You kid! You usually have good intentions. You should know that you have good intentions, but some women have ulterior motives and deliberately want to rely on you!"
Mrs. Wang was indeed angry. She had been busy arranging a marriage for Wang Xiao, but this incident ended up happening.
Even though her son was not very capable, the Wang family was a prominent family and there were many women who wanted to marry into the family!
But just when the Shen family showed signs of giving in, this kind of thing happened here. How could she not be angry?
Wang Xiao knew his mother would do this. He and his parents had always been at odds with each other, so he couldn't help but ask, "What should we do? The other maids and servants can't swim, and I can't just watch her drown in the lake!"
The words were rough but the logic was sound, and they left Mrs. Wang speechless.
"Then you shouldn't take the risk. You have to know that people's minds are unpredictable. Who knows where this person came from and what he is planning?" Mrs. Wang's eyes turned red with anger.
Although such things usually do not harm the man's reputation, at most they are passed down as a romantic affair.
But she was also afraid that this woman came from an unknown background and would rely on the Wang family, thus disrupting Wang Xiao's marriage.
Qin Xuerong also echoed: "Xiao Ge'er is indeed a kind child, but he should also be careful of being taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives."
Mrs. Feng glanced in the direction of Shen Jingzhen. Several maids were helping her drain the water. However, because she had been splashing in the water for too long, her hair was a mess and stuck to her face, so her appearance was still not clear.
Madam Feng said quietly, "Indeed, not everyone in this world is as innocent as Mr. Wang thinks. Some people might just do whatever it takes to climb up the ladder."
One person said that Wang Xiao didn't care, but when more people said it, and then he thought about the note he received from an unknown source, Wang Xiao frowned and became suspicious.
He put on the clothes handed to him by the servant, stood up and looked at Shen Jingzhen on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, Wang has a clear conscience, but if she wants to rely on me and let me take responsibility, that's wishful thinking!"
Every word Wang Xiao said was so sonorous that it only made the smile in Qin Xuerong's eyes deepen.
Shen Shuyi's reputation was ruined and she also incurred the disgust of Lady Wang and Wang Xiao. It would be best for her not to be able to marry into the Wang family again.
She will never have a good life in the mansion in the future!
Shen Shuyi stood at the end of the crowd, her almond-shaped eyes deep, and she looked at Wang Xiao with some admiration.
That’s right, Wang Xiao is indeed a man of sentimental character. His father is the imperial tutor of the current dynasty, and he is actually quite talented. The biggest problem is that Wang Xiao is a love-brained person!
Of course, I don’t see how loyal she is, but she has fallen in love with two or three people, and she was desperate and reckless in all of them.
If you have too many romantic affairs, your reputation will inevitably be bad.
In addition, he acted impulsively and did many stupid things for the sake of his so-called confidante, which inevitably gave him the suspicion of being manipulated by women.
But there is one thing that Mrs. Wang said that was not self-praising. Wang Xiao had a good character, and although he had picked up some bad habits of a playboy, they were not serious.
Otherwise, Qin Xuerong would not be so sure that Wang Xiao would definitely save people if he encountered this situation.
Speaking of which, Shen Jingzhen's vision is really not good. Feng Bochang is the complete opposite of Wang Xiao.
Feng Bochang only wants to climb the social ladder, and is good at flattering and pleasing women. But in the final analysis, he is ruthless and ungrateful, and will give up everything unless it brings him benefits!
Speaking of this, a hint of self-mockery flashed in Shen Shuyi's eyes.
Isn't she like this?
You have to be blind to worry so much about Xiao Tingshan, but now it seems that all love is bullshit!
After Wang Xiao finished saying this, Shen Jingzhen happened to cough heavily a few times, spit out some water, and then woke up completely.
She didn't care about anything else. Before she was fully awake, she heard what Wang Xiao said and was very angry.
He immediately said, "Do you think your Wang family is a high-ranking family that everyone wants to get in? The Wang family is good, but why don't you look in the mirror first and see what kind of person you are!"
As soon as Shen Jingzhen said this, Qin Xuerong's face froze.
Because there were many people in front of her and Shen Jingzhen was in a mess, she couldn't recognize them clearly for a while.
But this voice...why does it sound so much like Sister Zhen!
Wang Xiao was already exhausted from saving people and managed to save his life with great difficulty. However, he was scolded as soon as he got ashore.
It would have been fine if he was just criticized by others, but he didn't expect that he would be despised by the person he had worked so hard to save. Wang Xiao was really pissed off!
"This lady is so arrogant. You want to get married, but I, Wang Xiao, don't want to marry you. No matter how useless I am, I can't marry just any Tom, Dick or Harry!"
Wang Xiao usually hangs out in brothels, and he likes to pursue women who are both beautiful and talented. After hanging out in such places for a long time, the most obvious advantage he has gained is his eloquence.
Shen Jingzhen was already very angry, and after hearing these words, she became even more furious.
"Yes, not just any Tom, Dick or Harry can marry you, but Young Master Wang loves those prostitutes from the brothels! Young Master Wang is not talented, nor is he good at martial arts. His appearance is even more ordinary. If you hadn't been born into the Wang family, I really don't know who gave you the courage!"
Shen Jingzhen was very angry at the rude sarcasm.
"I am really meddling in other people's business. I should have let you drown in this lake! You are so unreasonable and unreasonable, and you don't know what you are talking about!" Wang Xiao was even more furious. He never expected that he had rescued an ungrateful person.
Shen Jingzhen's voice was choked with sobs. When she thought about her skin touching his in public and her innocence being ruined, tears started to fall from her eyes.
She obviously has someone she likes, so how can she compare to an uneducated and dissolute young man like Wang Xiao?
"You are the one who meddled in other people's business! Who cares about an uneducated playboy like you?"
As she spoke, Shen Jingzhen burst into tears.
She obviously liked Feng Bochang, but now that he appeared in front of everyone like this, what should she do about her future marriage...
Mrs. Wang already disliked the woman who fell into the water, and now she was even more angry when she heard her scolding her son in public.
"Whose family are you from? How dare you be so shameless? Not only are you ungrateful, but you are also criticizing men. Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers. There is no room for you to be picky!"
Mrs. Wang was very angry and looked at Shen Jingzhen coldly.
Someone watching from the side couldn't help but whisper, "She looks like the third young lady from Minister Shen's mansion to me."
