Prince Shun’s Mansion.

Prince Shun looked at his daughter, whose emotions had stabilized, and asked:

"Xin'er, tell Daddy what happened in detail."

Yi Kexin recalled carefully and told her father everything she saw, heard and felt at that time.

Prince Shun asked, "That is to say, you didn't see who hit you. Also, if Xiu Luoran didn't push you, you would have fallen into the water as well?"

"Yes, Dad."

Prince Shun asked Yi Kexin: "When someone bumped into you, didn't anyone see it?"

"Han Jingrao told everyone to be careful. At that time, everyone was afraid of falling, so they only looked at their feet and the railings."

"Xin'er, think about it again. If you and Xiu Luoran both fell into the water, what would these ladies say?"

"Dad, do you mean that they will say that I pushed Xiu Luoran down?"

"Didn't you want to chase Xiu Luoran away? You told her to get out, everyone should have heard it, right? You even reached out to pull her away, everyone saw that, too.

Then, Xiu Luoran fell into the water, but you were standing there."

Yi Kexin was angry: "Anyway, I didn't push Xiu Luoran. Xiu Luoran should know that it wasn't me who pushed her."

Prince Shun patted his daughter on the shoulder:

"Xin'er, don't be anxious, you are very smart, it's just that sometimes you are too impatient and don't think things through.

Think about it carefully. Didn't the person who pushed you speak at that time? Was it a familiar voice to you? "

Yi Kexin shook her head: "I haven't heard that voice. It's probably someone's maid, or maybe a young lady who doesn't talk often."

Prince Shun thought for a moment and said, "Xin'er, the incident of the Xiu family's maid falling into the water must have been orchestrated by someone.

Her target could be you or the girl from Xiu's family.

No matter who her target is, if anything happens to that girl from the Xiu family, you will be branded as a murderer.

If you fall with her, it's complicated.

Maybe people would say that you were chasing people away, and the girl from the Xiu family got angry and dragged you down, or that you two were fighting and fell down together.

Or maybe you pushed the girl down when she wasn't paying attention.

No matter what, it’s bad for you.”

"Dad, who did this?"

Prince Shun inspired Yi Kexin:

"Why didn't anyone see who hit you?"

"It was Han Jingrao who said that... Dad, are you saying that Han Jingrao did it?"

Prince Shun said, “Xin’er, I was not at the scene, so I cannot draw this conclusion.

What I want to say is that in the future, we should hold fewer gatherings like this.

If you want to have fun, just invite a few good friends to have a small gathering.

Also, you need to send more maids and servants to look after the area, to prevent something like what happened today from happening again.

You are my only precious child, and I am afraid something bad might happen to you."

These girls, each young, were full of schemes and intrigues. Xin'er was too innocent to be their opponent.

Yi Kexin was also a little scared. If Xiu Luoran really drowned, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she had a mouth full of words.

Looking at her father's gray hair, she suddenly felt sad:

"Dad, I'm ignorant and always thinking about playing, which makes you worry.

I'll listen to you. From now on, I'll find some good friends to play with.

No, if I want to play, I will take a few maids with me and play by myself without calling anyone.

Dad, you don’t know, a lot of things happened today, let me tell you…”

Although Yi Kexin arrived late, she sent maids to look after everything. She heard from the maids what Xiu Luoran had done.

Of course, Xiu Erran’s maid didn’t know that she changed clothes.

Prince Shun smiled: "The girl from the Xiu family is quite interesting."

"Dad, but she drove away my guests."

"Xin'er, you can't just look at the surface of some things, okay?"

Prince Shun's trusted henchman Baquan came in, pulled Prince Shun aside, and whispered:

"Your Highness, Master Zhang sent someone to deliver a secret letter to you."

Prince Shun dodged Yi Kexin's head and turned around to open the envelope.

He quickly finished reading the letter and tore it into pieces.

Yi Kexin asked, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Prince Shun smiled and touched Yi Kexin's head:

"An old guy asked me to go fishing with him. He said he wanted to compete with me. Will I lose to him?"

"Dad, are you going fishing tomorrow?"

"Yes. Xin'er, you just play all day long. How long has it been since you last visited your mother and grandfather?"

"Then I will go see my mother and grandfather tomorrow."

Princess Shun was in the farm, accompanying her old father.

Prince Shun nodded and said, "Okay, if you want, you can stay there for a few days. But you must send someone back to let me know."

"I understand, father."

The next morning.

Xiu Luoran still rode the donkey and came to the gate of Prince Shun's mansion, shouting:

"Is your little princess at home? Ask her to come out and see me."

The concierge looked at him and didn't recognize him:

"Excuse me, miss, who are you?"

Xiu Luoran was furious: "Who do you care who I am? Tell your little princess to come out and see me. I want to settle accounts with her."

The concierge saw that this person was looking for trouble:

"Miss, our little princess is not at home. She went to the countryside to visit our princess."

"Then your prince is home, right? I want to see him."

"Our prince is out fishing and is not at home."

Xiu Luoran got off the donkey and grabbed the doorman:

"You dare to lie to me? I'll strangle you to death!"

The doorman had worked in the palace for more than ten years and had never seen such a posture before. He collapsed to the ground immediately:

"Miss, our prince is really not at home. I guarantee with my head that our prince is really fishing."

Xiu Luoran threw the doorman aside:

"If I find out you're lying to me, you'll be in trouble."

"Get it."

Xiu Luoran rode away on his donkey.

Many idle people, upon hearing Xiu Luoran's shouting, gathered over to watch the fun.

"Whose lady was that riding the donkey just now?"

"I know, I know. She is the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenxi."

"Oh, she is so brave that she dares to come to Prince Shun's mansion to cause trouble."

"That's because the prince and the little princess are not at home. If they were here, she would dare to do it!"

"This lady is not someone you can easily mess with. Be careful next time and don't bump into her."

Xiu Luoran returned home, called forty or fifty people, took sickles, drove five or six large horse-drawn carts carrying goods, and headed straight for the garden of Prince Shun's mansion.

The garden of Prince Shun’s palace is not inside the palace, but next to it.

When they arrived at the garden gate, Xiu Luoran asked someone to chase the gatekeeper away and open the garden gate. She led her people into the garden and went straight to the lotus pond.

Many people followed Xiu Luoran into the garden. They wanted to see what Xiu Luoran was going to do.

Arriving at the lotus pond, Xiu Luoran shouted:

"It's just a broken lotus pond. You wanted to enjoy the broken lotus but you still chased me out, causing me to fall into the water.

Listen, all of you, go into the lotus pond and cut down and pluck all the lotus flowers and leaves. I want to turn this lotus pond into a bare board.

I told her to admire the flowers again, what the hell! Get to work."

All the people brought by Xiu Luoran were shouted at by Xiu Luoran to go into the water.

There are many small boats for tourists to ride in the lotus pond. You can take a boat in deep water and go directly into the water in shallow water.

Everyone was waving sickles, cutting down whatever they could get their hands on, whether it was lotus flowers or lotus leaves.

Although the lotus pond was very large, there were many people coming. Besides, it didn't take much effort to cut the lotus leaves and pick the lotus flowers. It didn't take long for the whole lotus pond to become a mess.

The water surface was covered with cut lotus flowers and lotus leaves.

Xiu Luoran shouted again, "Take out all the lotus flowers and lotus leaves and take them away. I want to make sure that there won't be a single lotus flower or lotus leaf left here.

If you don’t allow me to appreciate the lotus, then no one else can appreciate it or look at it.”

So all the lotus flowers and lotus leaves were carried onto the big carriage.

Five or six large carriages were not enough, so Xiu Luoran temporarily hired six or seven more, and they really picked up all the lotus flowers and leaves in the entire lotus pond.

Xiu Luoran pulled the lotus flowers and lotus leaves back to the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion, attracting half the people on the street to come and watch.

She rode on the donkey and said to the audience very proudly:

"You didn't let me enjoy the lotus flowers. Now, all the lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the entire lotus pond belong to me. I'll keep them to enjoy them slowly!"

Everyone was shocked. It turned out that this was the real reason why the young lady from the Marquis's Mansion came to the Prince's Mansion.

Thus, within less than half a day, the news that the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion had picked all the lotus flowers and leaves in the prince's palace because she was not allowed to appreciate the lotus flowers spread throughout the capital.
