Chapter 760: The King of Hell Seizes People from Under His N

s on the wagons were unloaded into the Houye's courtyard, and the horses were given to the boys to graze.Then Chen the manager and others, divided into two groups, had a refreshing bath in the hot spr...At this time, finally someone heard the commotion and came rushing over.

It's a pity that it wasn't the maidservant, but the Dean of the Grain Academy accompanied by the wives of various families.

They sat in the house for a long time, feeling a bit stifled, so they came out together to admire the flowers. They were also hoping to find someone they liked and get married in the future, either as a daughter-in-law or son-in-law.

As a result, as soon as the crowd entered the garden, they heard a commotion coming from this corner and rushed over to take a look. They were also taken aback.

Thankfully, the blue-clad maidservant had already been pulled up.

But Jiayin's four-piece skirt, the pants underneath, and her shoes were all soaked through.

Mei Lan and Xu Xi's mothers rushed forward, their faces grim. They reached out and pulled their daughters behind them, shielding them from prying eyes.

This left only Jia Yin and Bao Zhu standing beside the blue-clad maid.

No, there was also a green-clad maidservant who only knew how to cry.

The little maidservant in blue clothes had choked on the water and, exhausted, had already passed out.

The little maidservant in green cried her heart out, "Wah wah, sister, you can't die!

"You're dead, what am I going to do! Help, someone save my sister!"

The Dean quickly ordered someone to find the maidservant and carry him away.

Today, just in case, we also invited a doctor to our house.

It's better to send the little maid over than to have her wait outside.

Even if a lowly maidservant were to disappear, it wouldn't cause panic among the people.

The young maid in green didn't know what she was thinking. Hearing that her elder sister was being carried away, she suddenly hugged Jia Yin's leg and cried out in pleading.

"Miss, please save my sister, *sniffle*, we've lost both our parents, I only have my sister left.

"My elder sister died today, and I can't live either! Oh, help me, help me!"

Jia Yin softened a little, these two maidservants were about the same age as her.

She has a loving family, but these two maids rely on each other for support, serving as slaves.

She thought for a moment, then said to the maid in green, "Your sister should just have held her breath. She'll wake up soon. Don't worry, don't cry."

But the maid in green still refused to let go.

Jia Yin could only squat in front of the blue-clad maidservant, helping her tilt her head to open her airway. She then feigned a pat on her back.

In reality, she took silver needles from her spatial pouch and pricked several acupoints on the back of the blue-clothed maid.

After a short while, the little maid in blue truly opened her eyes and started coughing violently.

The little maid in green was overjoyed, bowing and thanking him repeatedly.

"Thank you, Miss, for saving my life! Wow, thank you so much!"

The院長 saw someone approaching in the distance and quickly called his maidservant to bring Jiayin and the others down to change their clothes.

Jia Yin pulled Baozhu and left. Xu Xi and Mei Lan's mother, worried, also followed after their daughters.

For a moment, only two pitiful little maidservants remained by the water’s edge. They were stared at by everyone and dared not move.

The Dean asked, "How did you accidentally fall into the water"

Standing behind her was the woman in the plain clothes. She, too, chimed in for some unknown reason: "Indeed, you are lucky to have encountered the County Princess today. The County Princess is blessed with great fortune and wisdom, she saved your lives, otherwise things would have been truly dangerous!"

Two little girls shivered. The girl in green cried, "When I walked onto the bridge, I stubbed my toe on a stone. I tried to dodge it and bumped into my sister, and she fell into the river."

The blue-clad maidservant escaped death, her face pale and drained, a touch of confusion lingering in her eyes.

She trembled her lips and said, “My servant seemed to float just now, but it was pitch black all around, and I didn't know where to go. Suddenly, a golden light pulled me back…”

Before the Dean could respond, the woman in the coupled garments who had spoken earlier began to clamor.

"See, I told you! It's all thanks to the county princess' good fortune. This little girl caught some of that luck and was brought back from the brink."

A woman who believed in Buddhism had clasped her hands together and silently chanted the Buddha's name.

The rest were also astonished. Just now, the county princess had randomly slapped a few times, and the maidservant woke up. They all thought it was a coincidence.

Unexpectedly, the blue-clad maid was indeed saved back by the noblewoman!

Could it be that the County Princess truly has great fortune

Not only did they dare to challenge the King of Hell for a person, but they even won!

The woman in the coupled colored dress wanted to speak, but saw Dean Gu staring at her coldly.

Her heart skipped a beat, and the words died on her lips.

The dean laughed coldly and loudly ordered the maidservants to take down the little maids in blue and green immediately.

They claimed it was for the doctor to re-examine their pulse and make sure they didn't miss any ailments.

Everyone nodded in agreement. The Gu family was known for their integrity and treated their servants with respect.

The dean invited everyone to take a stroll, saying that the garden was full of beautiful scenery everywhere, and you could kill time anywhere.

Everyone laughed in agreement and then dispersed.

Avoiding the public eye, the Dean furrowed his brows, whispering a few instructions to his maid before setting off to find Jia Yin and the others.

Shui Ling had originally gone to the carriage at home to get the spare clothes and shoes, and now Jia Yin was the first one to take off her wet skirt and shoes.

After that, Baozhu changed and sat down beside Jia Yin.

But Xu Xi and Mei Lan were much slower, because their mothers were very strict and kept reprimanding their daughters.

Xu Xi and Mei Lan bowed their heads, twisting their handkerchiefs, feeling both ashamed and annoyed, yet having to endure it.

They didn't think too much at the time, they were simply caught between life and death.

After all, a dress can be changed if it gets wet, but once a person's life is gone, there's no way to bring it back.

In a mother's eyes, the life of a little maidservant is of no importance at all.

It would be a bigger disaster if they were seen in disarray by men while rescuing someone and had their reputation ruined!

Jia Yin and Bao Zhu sat on one side, their toes could practically dig out a courtyard from the awkwardness.

Especially Jia Yin, the way to save people was her idea. Xu Xi and Mei Lan just helped out and put in some effort.

At this moment, Madam Xu and Madam Mei were so angry. Though they didn't scold her directly, every word they said seemed to blame her for being too assertive...

Bao Zhu wasn't pleased. She wanted to speak several times, but Jia Yin pulled her sleeve.

Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Xu may not be likeable, but Mei Lan and Xu Xi are quite good. They get along very well with them.

They're only putting on a show for the sake of their friend.

Luckily, the headmaster arrived soon.

Perhaps having heard a few words outside, the Dean entered and thanked Jia Yin and the others.

"Miss, Miss Jia, Miss Xu, and Miss Mei, please forgive our servants' clumsiness. It caused you to get your shoes and socks wet."

"But also thanks to your quick wit, a life was saved.

"

"I will invite you all to my place another day for a feast to express my gratitude for today's occasion."

Although the Dean was a widow, she had remained chaste for many years after her husband's death and also established a school for girls. Both her scholarship and character were highly regarded.

She personally expressed her gratitude at this moment and praised the young ladies for their good work. Madam Mei and Madam Xu's faces improved a lot, they no longer held grudges against their daughters, but instead became polite.

But soon, they made their farewells, wishing to take their daughter home.

The Dean of course couldn't stop him, so he just exchanged a few pleasantries before seeing him off.

Jia Yin and Bao Zhu also politely bid farewell.

The result came out, two doors were opened, and they got into a carriage. Before it even started moving, the head maid of the dean came over and whispered a few words in Jiayin's ear...
