"Su Qianxun, you really have no shame! Do you think you can cling on to the young master just because you have a pretty face, you sl*t!"
Qi Min was still young after all, and she was already driven mad by jealousy. Whenever she thought about how Long Sijue showered that b*tch with love and care, she felt so jealous that her heart ached.
Lately, every time she came home for the weekend, she would overhear the servants discussing Long Sijue's attitude towards Su Qianxun, which was very uncharacteristic of him. Qi Min had never heard of such instances in Jin Garden throughout all her years there.
"Qi Min, if you like Long Sijue, go ahead and woo him yourself instead of barking at me!" Su Qianxun's expression turned grim. Because of her sophisticated upbringing, she did not like to use vulgar terms like Qi Min did.
"Are you mocking me? Are you implying that I can't make the young master love me?" Su Qianxun's reply triggered Qi Min, and she immediately became extremely furious.
"Hehe, if that's how you want to interpret what I've said, so be it." Su Qianxun did not feel like talking to this unreasonable young woman anymore. She turned around, preparing to head back to her room.
Qi Min suddenly recalled the extremely gentle look in the young master's eyes when he carried Su Qianxun into the house last night. This recollection aggravated her. She frantically caught Su Qianxun by the arm all of a sudden and yanked her back.
"What are you doing? Let go of me!" Su Qianxun was rather irritated, and she wanted to shove Qi Min away.
"You shameless wh*re. You better promise me this instant that you won't seduce the young master ever again!" Qi Min clutched at her and refused to let go. She even pinched Su Qianxun on the arm as she tightened her grip.
Su Qianxun was enraged. She might be a gentle and mellow person, but she would fight back when someone crossed the line. After all, she was not someone who could be bullied into submission by just any person. She no longer held herself back and decided to give Qi Min a taste of her own medicine. The two young women began to grapple with one another.
There was a swimming pool nearby, but neither one of them had realized that they were inching towards it as they grappled. Qi Min slipped and fell into the pool first, dragging Su Qianxun with her.
The moment she fell into the water, Su Qianxun was completely startled, for she did not know how to swim at all. She let go of Qi Min, splashed about in the pool and started to sink.
Qi Min knew how to swim. She swam to the water's surface, hoping to find Su Qianxun and continue their fight, but the young woman was gone.
She immediately panicked. When she looked down anxiously, she found Su Qianxun underwater. The young woman was already at the bottom of the pool. Her hair was spreading out and swaying around her like seaweed.
Qi Min was utterly petrified. Even though her first instinct was to help Su Qianxun, she instantly stopped herself from acting upon that instinct. She fixed her gaze on the young woman in the water. There was raging jealousy and viciousness in her eyes.
'A whorish little sl*t like Su Qianxun deserves every bad thing that happens to her, even death!'
Qi Min raised her head and glanced around to make sure that there was no one nearby. She then immediately got out of the pool and ran off.
"Someone's drowning!"
A scream broke the silence in Jin Garden.
Long Sijue, who was planning to do some work in the study room, suddenly felt very tight in the chest. He lit himself a cigarette and walked over to the window, hoping to relax a little, only to see someone screaming for help by the pool in the back garden.
Long Sijue froze momentarily. Then, almost without hesitation, he placed his hands on the window sill to hoist himself up before leaping out through the window. He landed in the garden and rushed towards the swimming pool.
The servant who found Su Qianxun drowning was still screaming for help. She caught someone dashing past her from the corner of her eye. Before she realized what was happening, a figure plunged into the swimming pool with a splash.
As soon as Long Sijue dove in, he spotted the young woman underwater. He quickly paddled, swam over to catch her and carried her to the water's surface.
Long Sijue looked at the unconscious young woman in his arms and patted her cheek gently. "Wake up, woman! Open your eyes, little thing!"
Su Qianxun was totally unresponsive.
Long Sijue did not dare to hesitate. By the time he got out of the swimming pool with the young woman in his arms, Su Qianxun was still unconscious. Worse yet, she had already stopped breathing.
