The soft and sweet voice of the boy made Lin Xilan couldn't help but look back.

A boy of about 16 years old climbed out of the water, his jet-black hair had fallen from his hairpin, and he looked at her with a look of self-blame and guilt.

"I'm sorry, Princess. I was a step too slow. Fortunately, you are okay."

He had actually seen Lin Xilan a long time ago.

But the other person was a married regent princess after all. He struggled for a long time between saving her and not saving her, and finally jumped into the water.

did not expect.

——The other party doesn’t need his rescue at all!

Lin Xilan looked at the other person a few times and made sure that she didn't know him.

"I'm fine, but you should go change your clothes first."

Wait until you turn around.

Her face turned cold again, and she quickly asked someone to bring her a set of clothes. After changing in the side room, she quickly walked towards the banquet.

……

Lin Xilan's hair was all wet, like a mermaid who had just jumped out of the sea, with the freshness and vitality of clear water.

***'s eyes dropped from her face to her dripping hair.

"Regent Princess, why did you change your clothes?" She asked with a smile on her lips.

"That's something you'll have to ask ***."

Lin Xilan smiled slightly, "I just wanted to walk around, but I didn't expect to be pushed into the water by your servants. I just changed my clothes, but I don't know what you want to say to me?"

"If I hadn't learned a little about water in the past few years, I would have drowned today, right?"

This girl really is worthy of being Princess Mingzhu's mother.

Not only are these two people equally evil at heart, but even their methods are so clumsy, as if they cannot survive without throwing dirty water on their superiors and framing them.

To be fair.

——If it was the original owner who was pushed into the water today and then rescued by another man, in this era where feudal etiquette is above everything else.

Isn't she afraid that she will be forced to death?

***'s smile paused, and her face turned ugly, "Lin Xilan, although you are my sister-in-law, you can't confuse right and wrong like this, right?"

"How could a servant in my house push your Regent Princess into trouble?"

"is it?"

The smile on Lin Xilan's lips also turned cold.

"You don't mean to say that I jumped down by myself, do you?"

Jiang Mingzhu's face looked a little unhappy, and she said in a deep voice -

"Who knows if you did it yourself, just to cause trouble in the government? Besides, it's not like you haven't done this kind of thing before!"

Jiang Mingzhu certainly knows whether it has been done or not.

There is a saying: "The person who framed you knows better than you do how wronged you are."

But this did not prevent her from being hostile to Lin Xilan.

She turned her head.

"Mother, I think Lin Xilan is just trying to scam our family!"

"She came to our Princess Mansion this time with bad intentions and deliberately came to cause trouble for us!"

"If you don't believe me, ask everyone. Is there such a coincidence? She fell into the water again. Every time she comes to the princess's mansion, she has to fall into the water!"

Lin Xilan smiled calmly, "Yeah... Why do I always fall into the water every time I come to the Princess's Mansion... People who know me think I'm here to attend the banquet at the Princess's Mansion, and people who don't think I'm here to swim. The Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion and the Regent Prince's Mansion are so big that they're not big enough for me to play in the water. I have to come here to swim. Am I sick..."

Her half-joking, half-teasing look immediately caused a burst of laughter at the scene.

Princess Mingzhu's face turned red with embarrassment during the laughter.

She had thought that the others would cooperate as they had in the past, but she did not expect that everyone present, whether women or those from wealthy families, would look at each other in bewilderment.

He no longer spoke in favor of the Princess's Mansion.

"Is there any misunderstanding here?"

"Yes, there is no reason for the Regent Princess to do this, let alone frame ***."

"Let me be honest with you. Given the Prince Regent's current feelings towards the Princess Regent, she doesn't need to frame Princess Mingzhu. Isn't this just looking for trouble?"

"Besides, wasn't the blood jade incident just fabricated by Princess Mingzhu?"

boom!

Jiang Mingzhu's face suddenly changed from smug to pale.

"What did you...say?"

The others smiled awkwardly, looked away, and did not answer directly.

It’s not that they have any problem with Princess Mingzhu, but compared to her, they don’t believe that Lin Xilan, who was able to win the top five prizes and compose poems out of thin air, would do such a thing!

Lin Xilan naturally knew this too.

In the past, Princess Mingzhu was deeply loved by Beichen Yuan and was quite talented, so most of the rumors in the capital were in her favor.

This is due to human nature.

but--

It's different now.

She looked at Jiang Mingzhu and smiled, "Look, even the people around you are more clear-headed than you, Jiang Mingzhu."

"If I really wanted to scam you, wouldn't I just say you pushed me into this? Why did I have to say you were just a little maid?"

"Whether that maid pushed me into the water on purpose or not, I don't know, but I just want an explanation. Why is the princess so aggressive?"

She said, continuing slowly.

"Besides, I think what the gentleman just said is right. I have no reason to offend your princess's mansion."

Jiang Mingzhu's face turned pale.

obviously.

She didn't expect that those who had stood by her in the past would actually change their direction.

She didn't really understand.

Those who spoke for her were not really condemning her, but only because of her identity and her fame in the capital.

But one day, Lin Xilan showed more talent than her.

Of course, the situation will change.

"enough!"

***'s face looked grim and she glared at Jiang Mingzhu fiercely.

Incompetent bungler!

"Since it was the maid's carelessness, then have someone beat her to death. However... the princess fell into the water, and I wonder who rescued her?"

"I came up here on my own."

Lin Xilan looked calm: "Don't worry, sir. Ever since your good daughter accidentally fell into the water and said that I pushed her, I went to learn a lot. Next time the princess accidentally falls into the water, I will definitely be able to pull her out before the prince comes!"

One word can cause a thousand waves!

Many people present had strange expressions on their faces, and some even laughed uncontrollably.

However, they also got some information from it: From what Lin Xilan said, it was not she who caused Princess Mingzhu to fall into the water?

what is that?

Direct and act on your own?

They looked at each other.

——You know, most of the people present at the scene had full faith in Princess Mingzhu. After all, Lin Xilan at that time acted like a "madman" who had to compete with Princess Mingzhu.

If there really is a reason...

Lin Xilan continued, "Of course, this is a thing of the past, but I was the one who fell into the water today, so I have to give you an explanation, right?"

***I didn't expect that things would develop to this point.

She closed her eyes and opened them again.

"Drag away the maid the Regent Princess mentioned and beat her to death."

"So, are you satisfied?"
