Chapter 83: The Wedding Must Take Place

ourse, go ahead!”"Then I really said it, didn't I""You women are so talkative!"Fu Jiayia giggled and clasped her hands together. "Can you promise not to tell Fu Yan and Huanhuan about what happened la...Those who were trampled had both relatives and those without. Xia Yao asked someone to help, first carrying everyone into the restaurant to put them down.

The wine shop's waiter also ran out to help. A few young men, seeing that people they didn't know were helping rescue those injured, stopped and helped carry the wounded into the wine shop.

Xia Yao asked the shop assistant to invite a doctor. In this situation, she couldn't administer medicine; she could only provide basic first aid to the injured, such as setting bones. If anyone had internal injuries, they would still need a doctor. She needed to call for several doctors.

The young waiter carried a wounded girl inside and then ran off to call for a doctor.

Xia Yao walked up to another child. The child's mother was still rocking the baby, "Fú'er, wake up, Fú'er, don't scare mama."

She was separated from the child's father by the crowd, and now his whereabouts are unknown. If anything were to happen to the child, how could she possibly explain it to her husband!

"Don't shake the child, I have some medical skills. Let me take a look at him." Xia Yao squatted on the ground and said to the distraught mother of the child.

The child's mother wept uncontrollably, choking out, "Please, save my son Fulu...oh..."

Xia Yao nodded and checked the child. The child wasn't trampled, had a pulse, but it was weak, and they weren't breathing. It was obvious that they had suffocated from the crowd's density, the situation was very dangerous.

"Give me the child, let me take the child inside first." The child's mother was crying so hard, her hands were trembling. It seemed like she couldn't keep her child safe.

Xia Yao scooped up the child before his mother could even speak. The child, eight or nine years old, was quite heavy. Xia Yao struggled to lift him and headed towards the tavern. He didn't notice the string of dropped candied fruits on the ground and slipped as he stepped on it. He stumbled backward.

Summer was so startled her eyes widened, thinking she was about to fall. But a pair of strong arms suddenly wrapped around her waist.

She looked sideways, still shaken, and her terrified eyes met a pair of eyes that shone like stars.

It is Gu Xingyun.

"Are you alright" Gu Xingyun asked, his voice still a little breathless, his brow furrowed.

He, along with his mother, brother, sister-in-law and nephew were strolling down the street when suddenly they saw people behind them hurrying forward. They also heard someone saying something about "someone having died".

As a member of the Jinyiwei, his sense of duty flared up. He told his elder brother to take good care of their mother, sister-in-law, and nephew, then leaped onto the roof and walked backward against the flow of people.

When he arrived, the crowd had thinned out, but the sight of injured civilians and the chaotic streets filled him with dismay.

Seeing the Third Princess, he immediately jumped down from the rooftop and as he walked towards her, he saw that she was holding a child and about to fall. He took a stride forward and caught her.

If he had been any later, the third princess would have fallen to the ground. She was holding a half-grown child; if she had fallen like that, they might both be hurt.

When he saw the Third Princess was about to fall, his heart pounded so hard it felt like it would leap out of his chest.

"It's okay, thank you." She really dodged a bullet. If it weren't for Gu Xingyun, she probably would have been knocked silly.

Gu Xingyun supported her to stand steady, then took the child from her arms. "Let me do it."

Having said that, she hugged her child and walked straight into the tavern.

"Put the child on the ground!" Xia Yao pointed to a patch of empty ground and said to Gu Xingyun.

Gu Xingyun placed the child on the ground, and Xia Yao immediately knelt down, pulling open the child's shirt.

He lifted the child's chin, took a deep breath, and began administering CPR.

Everyone in the restaurant was stunned. The injured woman's husband said, "What is this This woman is truly shameless! She even treats her own child so carelessly. Truly, the world is going downhill!"

Though Gu Xingyun was also a bit dumbfounded, he felt that what the Third Princess had done was not being frivolous with children, but saving people. His star-shaped eyes flashed with coldness as he shot a cold gaze at the man who spoke...""And I agree to your conditions," Zhou Sze said, spreading his hands. "Tomorrow morning, I'll have my parents come over and take you to the bank to check your account balance. Then we'll go to the...
