Mo Rongzhan didn't share Ye Zhen's surprise. He just followed her out of the cabin.
The song came from the six-awned boat opposite them. The hull was brightly lit, and the guests inside could be vaguely seen laughing and drinking. The singing woman should be sitting behind the screen.
"Is this the boat in the pleasure boat?" Ye Zhen asked Mo Rongzhan in a low voice. It would be a pity if such a beautiful voice was heard in the pleasure boat.
Mo Rongzhan saw the disappointment in her eyes and explained, "There is a kind of pleasure boat here that is different from other places. The women inside only sell their skills and not their bodies. Only when someone offers them a lot of money will they sing a few songs behind the screen. Just like now, only the singing can be heard but not the person. It should be the boatgirl of the pleasure boat."
Ye Yiqing had always been more open-minded about her upbringing. She had heard the story of the boat girls before. Some women did not love themselves and degenerate, but more often than not, they were forced by life. Ye Zhen did not look down on these women, especially those who could insist on selling their skills and not their bodies. They should also be more hard-working than others. Ye Zhen was not a woman who was raised in a boudoir and knew nothing about the world.
"There is such a pleasure boat that only sells its skills and not its body. Who is the owner?" Ye Zhen asked with interest.
Mo Rongzhan pinched the tip of her nose. "Don't have any bad ideas."
Ye Zhen smiled and patted his hand away. "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
How could he not know what she was thinking? Mo Rongzhan smiled helplessly. "This place is too complicated. You can't go even if it's the Qing Yin Lane."
It turned out that the place was called the Qing Yin Lane!
Ye Zhen nodded seriously. "You think too much. How could I go to such a place?"
"It's windy outside. Let's go inside." Mo Rongzhan put his arm around her waist and walked back to the cabin. The opposite ship was getting closer and closer. He didn't want anyone to see her. Today, she was still dressed as a woman. Although she was dressed simply, it couldn't hide her beautiful color. Even he felt his heart palpitate when he saw her, not to mention other men.
"Oh." Although Ye Zhen wanted to see who could sing such a beautiful voice, it was just a thought.
As soon as they turned around, they heard a "thump" and a cry for help came from the opposite deck.
"Help, someone fell into the water!"
"Young master …"
"Help!"
Ye Zhen was startled by the scream and looked back, only to find that the person who fell into the water turned out to be a child. He just struggled a few times and was about to sink into the water. Two servants had already jumped into the water. One of them didn't know how to swim and began to shout for help.
"Xue Lin!" Ye Zhen looked at Xue Lin. Although the people in the cabin were climbing out, the ship was still moving. At this time, if they did not hurry to rescue them, they would not be able to find them in a while.
Mo Rongzhan signaled his two subordinates to go and save them.
Both Xue Lin and Shen Yi were good at swimming. Fortunately, the distance between the two boats was not far. They had seen the child fall into the water with their own eyes, so they could still remember where he fell. As the two of them went down to save the child, the men on the other boat were alerted and came to the cabin.
One of them, a man in his fifties, shouted nervously, "Whoever saves my son, I'll definitely reward them handsomely. Hurry up and save my son …"
Ye Zhen stood beside Mo Rongzhan, her whole mind on the river, and she had no time to pay attention to anything else.
After a moment, Xue Lin broke out of the water, holding the drowning child in one hand. He brought the child back directly.
"Madam, the child's breath is very weak." Xue Lin whispered and put the child on the deck.
Ye Zhen immediately went to feel the child's pulse. The child was no longer breathing, only a weak pulse.
She immediately gave him first aid. Fortunately, she had read the first aid method of falling into the water in Qi's Medical Records before. Whether the child could be saved or not depended on his fate.
"Hurry, hurry over." The people on the opposite boat saw that the child had been rescued and hurriedly asked the boatman to sail the boat closer.
"My son, my darling!" The chubby man shouted and had to be supported by two servants to walk steadily. With great difficulty, he finally got on Mo Rongzhan's boat but was blocked by Wu Chong from approaching Ye Zhen.
In addition to him, another young man followed behind him. "Big brother, don't worry. Jun Ge will be fine."
Mo Rongzhan turned his back to them and blocked Ye Zhen's figure. His eyes fell on her body and he only felt that she looked beautiful like this.
"Cough, cough …" The child spat out a mouthful of water and burst into tears.
Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Mo Rongzhan with a smile. "He's saved."
The light of the sheep horn lamp fell softly on her, making her look more gentle and beautiful. Her smile was even more soul-stirring.
Mo Rongzhan walked over and took her hand, reluctant to let others see her beauty.
The fat man rushed over and picked up the child. "Son, you almost killed your father. I only have one son. You can't be hurt!"
"Father!" When the child saw his father, he was still in shock and began to cry loudly.
The young man bowed to Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen. "Thank you for saving my nephew. Our Su family will never forget your kindness."
Su family? Mo Rongzhan looked at the man slightly. "He saved the child. We should thank him."
The young man looked at Xue Lin who had just saved his nephew from the water and cupped his hands. "Thank you, brother."
Xue Lin grinned and looked at Ye Zhen. If it weren't for the princess's order, none of them would have saved the child.
Su Yanning followed Xue Lin's line of sight and looked over. Under the moonlight, the fairy stood gracefully. Her features were picturesque and elegant. He inexplicably felt his heart palpitate. Perhaps it was because he was looking too eagerly that the fairy suddenly flashed behind the man next to her.
"You'd better send the child back to change his clothes and cook some ginger soup to drink. I'm afraid the child is frightened. He will feel better after drinking some tranquilizing soup before going to bed." Ye Zhen did not look at Su Yanning but at the middle-aged man who was holding the child and coaxing him.
The middle-aged man was Su Yanning's eldest brother, Su Yanping. After listening to Ye Zhen's words, he immediately went back with the child.
Mo Rongzhan took Ye Zhen's hand and walked back to the cabin. He didn't need any gratitude from the Su family at all. "The child has been rescued. You can all go back."
Su Yanning knew that his gaffe had made the other party unhappy. A smile appeared on his handsome face. "The child is the only son of my eldest brother. My elder brother has a son at an old age. It's inevitable that he values the child a little too much. I have no time to thank you. I apologize on his behalf."
Mo Rongzhan's face was indifferent. "The child is fine. I won't see you off."
"Your Excellency … is your surname Rong?" Su Yanning looked at Mo Rongzhan and felt that he looked a little familiar. He remembered the man he had seen a few years ago. He seemed to be very similar to the one in front of him. Even his temperament was the same indifference.
