Because the families of the girls present are all powerful in their families, if there is a talent show, they will definitely participate.

Among them, Miss Zuo, because of her beautiful appearance and talent, was coaxed and complimented and joked a few times.

Xiao Yunxiang couldn't bear to watch from the sidelines, and said a few words of truth, which roughly meant that based on what she knew about Ying Ze, she probably wouldn't like Zuo Wanshu's contrived temper.

That's all for others to say. Xiao Yunxiang and Ying Ze are real childhood sweethearts. She said that, even if Zuo Wanshu felt that Xiao Yunxiang was deliberately mocking her to make herself ashamed, she satirized Xiao Yunxiang in anger, and hoped for it every day. If she wants to marry the regent, doesn't the regent take her as air?

The two poked at each other's pain points, and each danced on each other's thunder points. Can they still sit calmly?Naturally, they quickly scuffled into a ball, and even a group of people couldn't stop them. During the dispute, Zuo Wanshu somehow fell into the water, and that's how what happened later.

Mrs. Zuo's face became darker the more she heard it. After hearing it, she couldn't help scolding her daughter:

"Where do you have the guts to talk about the emperor's lifelong affairs, and... you think you can enter the palace... What a shame!"

Zuo Wanshu muttered unconvinced:

"Didn't you tell me to say..."

Madam Zuo was so angry that she stretched out her hand to hit someone, but Zuo Wanshu calmed down, she shrank her head and shut her mouth.

After hearing the reason for the dispute, Leng Yulan had some vague guesses. Lou Rongrong leaned into her ear and said a few words, and Leng Yulan's expression changed, and she turned to Madam Zuo and said:

"Mrs. Zuo, you have fallen into the water, can you send someone to call for help where the guests are?"

Mrs. Zuo was taken aback and looked at her daughter. Zuo Wanshu shook her head at her, expressing that she was in chaos after falling into the water and didn't pay attention.

Madam Hou just stood up at the side at the moment, pointing to a servant girl in the mansion beside her and said:

"I just asked. After Miss Zuo fell into the water, the servant girl who was waiting on the side ran directly to the maid's residence closest to here to find the maidservant from Shanshui to save her. She didn't spread it around."

Mrs. Zuo raised her eyes to see so many spectators around, no matter how slow she was, she would not be able to react. How could so many people come to see the excitement in such a fast time and without making any publicity?

Leng Yulan's voice answered her doubts:

"Just now on the way I came here, I saw a servant girl running around telling everyone that Miss Zuo's family had fallen into the water, and that it was Miss Xiao's who pushed her. I'm afraid someone wants to take this opportunity to damage Miss Zuo's reputation. At this moment, madam, think about whether you have offended someone recently, and this is why we set up such a good show, including our two families."

When she said this, Mrs. Zuo's expression was obviously shaken. Although she accused her daughter of arbitrarily discussing government affairs, even she herself, after learning that the emperor might choose a concubine in the near future, would inevitably consider sending her daughter into the palace as a concubine .

If this incident happened at this time, if the emperor really wanted to choose a talent show, if his daughter was not rescued by Xiao Yunxiang in time, but was watched by people, or rescued by a man, and the internal officials in charge of supervising the selection of girls in the palace knew about it, it would be inevitable It will affect the daughter's entry into the palace.

As for Xiao Yunxiang, if there is no definite evidence to finally get rid of the matter of pushing people, his reputation may also be affected by it. If this matter is really planned by someone, then it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

During the question and answer between the two, Lou Rongrong's eyes fell on the ladies who were in the gazebo just now, and saw one of them, when Leng Yulan mentioned the maid who spread the news everywhere, her face turned pale, and she subconsciously picked up the handkerchief Covering up, fine sweat oozes from his forehead.

After Mrs. Zuo's thoughts changed, her attitude towards Leng Yulan and Xiao Yunxiang immediately became much better, and there was a smile on her face:

"What Mrs. Leng said is true. It's just some quarrel between the daughter's family. It's not a big deal. Why bother to care about it and hurt the peace of the two families? It's just... the lowly maid that Mrs. Leng said went around telling my son to fall into the water." , I don’t know if it’s possible to see it?”

Leng Yulan made a gesture of invitation:

"I saw that servant girl's words and deeds were inappropriate, so I ordered someone to detain her. She is here, Madam Zuo, please follow me."

As soon as these words came out, the girl's face became even more flustered. Another young lady at the side accidentally touched her hand and felt it was icy cold, and subconsciously said in surprise:

"Wan Niang, what's the matter with you, why are your hands so cold? Could it be a cold?"

The girl named Wan Niang quickly defended:

"Xu Shi just saw that Miss Zuo accidentally fell into the water and was startled. It's okay, I'll go find a place to rest for a while."

As she said that, she wanted to sneak away, but Mrs. Zuo still noticed them, and said:

"Since we were in the chaos just now, and no one saw who pushed someone, why don't the young ladies follow us to meet that nonsense servant girl, so as to clear up your grievances."

Having said that, Madam Zuo's expression did not mean that she wanted to clear up their grievances, but that she wanted to take the opportunity to find out who really caused her precious daughter to fall into the water.

After all, the ladies were still young, without the support of the mistress, they had no choice but to go with Madam Zuo's aura, besides, they were all curious about the truth of the matter.

Wan Niang stopped in place when she wanted to leave, but in desperation, she could only hold on and follow everyone to see the maidservant.

In fact, the person Leng Yulan mentioned was the one Lou Rongrong met, and was later taken away by Lou Rongrong's hidden guards. After asking the reason, he was knocked out and thrown in a remote place.

Before Leng Yulan led the man over, she had already arranged for a personal maid to wake him up. As soon as the maid opened her eyes, she saw Madam Hou's mansion looking at her coldly. Yulan even has a pair of sharp eyes that seem to want to pierce her right through.

Immediately, the servant girl left halfway, hurriedly got up and kowtowed for mercy.

Before a few people opened their mouths to ask questions, the servant girl was so frightened that she said everything.

It turned out that she was indeed a servant girl in the mansion, but she received money from someone. They told her to run around when she heard someone fell into the water, and spread the news in crowded places, saying that Miss Xiao's family pushed Miss Zuo from Zhongshu Shilang's family. If you go into the water, you can get a consistent amount of money.

She thought that she was just talking about it, and that Miss Zuo had indeed fallen into the water. The money was easy to earn, so she agreed, but she didn't expect that things would develop like this.

The Madam of the Hou Mansion saw that it was the maidservant of her own mansion, she took the money and talked nonsense, she immediately became angry and wanted someone to pull the maidservant out and beat her with dozens of sticks, and then sell her directly.

It was Leng Yulan who stopped her first and asked about the appearance and sign of the person who gave her the money. After a couple of couples, they found out that this person was actually the nanny of the little girl named Wan Niang, who also came today.

For a moment, all eyes fell on Wan Niang who was about to cry.

Under the tremendous pressure, Wan Niang finally couldn't help but fell to the ground, crying:

"I didn't mean to push people, I... I was just... too scared..."
