Since the person involved didn't care, others had no right to say anything even if they wanted to. Miss Qu returned to her seat, feeling upset and not knowing how to vent her anger.

Peace returned to the houseboat, and the women gathered in groups of three or four to chat.

At this time, the Princess of Nanyue suddenly suggested that everyone go outside the boat to enjoy the scenery. Although it was still cold in spring, no one dared to refuse the princess's suggestion, so everyone went to the bow.

Ye Yunzi followed the crowd out. The cold wind blew on her face, bringing a slight chill. When she was in the cabin, she always felt that someone was watching her in secret. Although she had never met the Princess of Nanyue, she clearly felt that she had an unusual concern for her.

Just as she frowned and fell into deep thought, there was a sudden movement behind her, as if someone was approaching.

Then, a force pushed at her back, apparently trying to push her into the lake!

A hint of calmness flashed through Ye Yunzi's eyes. She had been alert for a long time and knew that she was not so easily tricked. While quickly dodging, she grabbed the wrist of the person behind her. The maid did not expect to be controlled and was immediately terrified.

Ye Yunzi narrowed her eyes and recognized the maidservant as the maidservant of the Princess of Nanyue. Without hesitation, she pulled the maidservant to the side of the boat. The maidservant lost her balance and fell into the cold lake water.

After dealing with all this, Ye Yunzi retreated into the crowd and hid.

"Someone fell into the water!"

"Oh no!" The crowd around immediately became agitated, but no one dared to go into the water to rescue.

On the lake, I saw a person struggling for life, "Help..."

The Princess of Nanyue came over quickly and shouted anxiously, "Go and save her! Miss Ye has fallen into the water!"

Ye Yunzi, hiding in the crowd, looked at the princess with cold eyes. It was obvious that this was a conspiracy against her.

But how did she offend the princess? Was it because Mu Yan accidentally angered the princess while impersonating her? Otherwise, why would she use such a cruel method to deal with her?

None of the women present could swim, so a boatman eventually jumped into the water to rescue the person.

When they saw that the person who was rescued was not Ye Yunzi but the maid, everyone present had complicated expressions.

And those women who were originally jealous of Ye Yunzi were secretly proud of her damaged reputation.

Just as everyone was paying attention to the woman who fell into the water, a deep voice broke the silence.

"Ah! Who fell into the water?"

This sudden voice stunned everyone around. Isn't this Ye Yunzi's voice? Everyone turned around and saw that it was indeed her, with a frown on her face and a look of anxiety.

"you……"

The most shocked person was the Princess of Nanyue. She thought she had pushed Ye Yunzi into the water, but she didn't expect that the person standing in front of her was still fine. So who fell into the water?

"Someone was rescued. It was a maid."

It turned out that the person who fell into the water was a maidservant of the Princess of Nanyue. The guests present did not care about it. She was just a maidservant, and no one would take it seriously even if something happened to her.

But the Princess of Nanyue's face turned ugly, staring at the cold and pale maid. She originally wanted to frame Ye Yunzi, but ended up hurting her own maid instead.

Ye Yunzi stepped forward and said with concern: "The lake water is so cold, take this girl to see a doctor quickly."

The maid was trembling all over and couldn't utter a word.

The good mood of the boat trip was completely ruined, and the Princess of Nanyue was upset. Her plan failed, and she sacrificed a maid in vain.

Everyone hurriedly ended the trip. On the way back, Yu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the young lady is safe. I was scared when I heard the South Vietnamese princess shouting that the young lady fell into the water."

Ye Yunzi frowned and thought deeply, "Let's go to Ningcaotang first."

"Do you want to see Patriarch Shen?"

"Yes."

There must be a hidden story behind this matter. Perhaps it was because Mu Yan offended the Princess of Nanyue when he pretended to be himself.

After Shen Siyan heard this, his eyes became stern. "You said the Princess of Nanyue deliberately targeted you?"

"Today's incident was obviously directed at me, and it's strange to come to the lake so early in spring. Could it be because Mu Yan offended the Princess of South Vietnam when she pretended to be me?"

Ye Yunzi couldn't figure it out. She and the Princess of Nanyue had never met before, so there shouldn't be any conflicts between them. If there really was a problem, it could only be caused by Mu Yan.

Shen Siyan hesitated for a moment and shook his head to deny, "Impossible. I arranged for someone to monitor Mu Yan in the Su Mansion. She has never left the mansion."

"That's strange." Ye Yunzi felt very confused. It was not a good thing to provoke a princess for no reason.

At this moment, a warm hand gently held her hand. Ye Yunzi looked up and saw Shen Siyan's gentle eyes. He gently stroked her wrist.

Her face turned red instantly, and she wanted to pull her hand back but was a little at a loss.

"Don't worry, no matter who the other person is, I will protect you." Shen Siyan's words brushed across her heart like a spring breeze, giving her great comfort.

Ye Yunzi felt so happy, as if she had eaten honey. Just when she and Shen Siyan were in love and the atmosphere was warm, Tao Qiming suddenly broke in.

When he saw the two holding hands with affection in their eyes, he couldn't help but yell, "Oh, you are torturing single people! No, you are torturing people... If you want to show affection, you have to wait until you get married!"

Shen Siyan glanced at Tao Qiming, who immediately fell silent. Although he was usually fearless, he was afraid of this seemingly gentle but actually thoughtful friend.

Ye Yunzi's cheeks flushed, and she quickly pulled her hand back, "I should go now."

"Don't worry too much about the Princess of Nanyue. I will send someone to investigate." Shen Siyan said.

"Okay." When it came to business, Ye Yunzi's expression became serious and she nodded.

At this time, Tao Qiming seemed to remember something, and he blurted out: "Princess of Nanyue? I remember, I saw her that day!"

"Have you seen it?" Shen Siyan turned to him and asked.

Tao Qiming suddenly realized that he might have let something slip, after all, he was pretending to be Shen Siyan that day. Thinking of this, he quickly closed his mouth and showed an awkward smile on his face.

Shen Siyan did not ask too many questions, but politely sent Ye Yunzi away first. After returning, he began to question Tao Qiming about what happened that day.

Out of desperation, Tao Qiming had to confess everything, "It was a complete accident! Who could have expected that the Princess of South Vietnam would come to visit suddenly and almost destroy my medicinal fields..." His voice became smaller and smaller, for fear of angering the other party.

However, Shen Siyan just said calmly: "Be more careful next time."

"I understand. I won't do it again next time." Tao Qiming agreed, feeling relieved.

He originally intended to play a joke to amuse Ye Yunzi, but not only did it fail, but it also brought trouble to himself.
