wouldn't have taken this blow for that scumbag! It really hurt!"Song'er!" Things happened too suddenly, Xiao Yufu was so frightened that she covered her mouth."Song'er!" Qian Sichin was startled. The...“Miss! Miss! Come here, the Miss has fallen! Quickly come here, help! Help!” This sudden scene scared Ninghua’s maidservant to wit's end. She cried out in panic.

Nearby, Xiao Yufu watched this scene with cold eyes and made no intention of calling for help.

Xiao Yu Ge had already finished her conversation with the Empress and was heading towards the small bridge. She thought to herself, according to her memories from her past life, her dear sister had a good show waiting for her on this very bridge. If she didn't go, how could the show begin

As soon as she reached the bridge, she saw Ning Hua fall into the water. Seeing Ning Hua about to sink, she didn't have time to think too much and jumped down without hesitation. As Xiao Zhan said, she was wild in her daily life. Besides women's work, she had learned a little bit of everything, so it was normal that she knew how to swim.

"Ger!" Seeing Xiao Yu Ge jump down, Xiao Yu Fu stood anxiously by the side, wringing her hands.

Soon, Xiao Yuge pulled Ninghua to the shore. Seeing that Ninghua had fainted, he pressed her chest a few times. After spitting out several mouthfuls of water, Ninghua slowly came to.

Ning Hua might not have expected that the person who finally saved her would be someone she had always disliked. Her heart was filled with a mixture of emotions, and she didn't know whether she was frightened or something else. She even forgot to say thank you.

The Empress also rushed over upon hearing the commotion and hurriedly inquired about the situation.

"Result, Ninghua cried and pointed at Xiao Yufu: “Your Majesty the Empress, it was her, it was Xiao Yufu who pushed me down!"

For a moment, whispers erupted around them. Everyone spoke in hushed tones, surprised that someone as gentle and seemingly fragile as Xiao Yufu could possess such a wicked mind.

"Xiao Yufu, what is the meaning of this Did you really push Hui Min into the water You should know that harming a county princess is punishable by death!" The Empress's face darkened as she sternly questioned, her dislike for Xiao Yufu growing even stronger upon hearing Ning Hua's words.

Xiao Yufu's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty Empress is insightful! This servant did not harm Princess Huimin. Just now, this servant was wandering alone on the bridge waiting for her younger sister. As a result, Princess Huimin came up and said something about dealing with my younger sister. This servant was momentarily angry..."

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Shufei, standing beside her, rudely interrupted, "So you pushed Hui Min into the water out of anger You little girl, with such a weak appearance, your heart is so vicious!"

Xiao Yufu anxiously explained, “Your servant didn’t do it. Your servant was only momentarily angry and retorted a few words to the county princess. As a result, the county princess came over and wanted to hit your servant. Your servant just instinctively dodged, and then the county princess fell by herself. Both your servant’s maidservant and the county princess’s maidservant can testify!”

Shufeng snorted coldly: "So what you're saying is that the county princess fell herself and then framed you"

"My lady, I don't mean it that way. I was just stating the facts!" Xiao Yu Fu felt wronged and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Your mouth is quite hard, come here! You dare speak to this palace like this This palace wants you to be slapped!" Shufei was furious and ordered someone to take action.

“Stop!” Qian Si Chen rushed over, bowing to the Empress first before turning to speak for Xiao Yu Fu: “Empress Mother, this child was standing there just now and saw clearly. It was indeed Hui Min County Princess who accidentally fell down. If you don’t believe me, Empress Mother can ask the guards over there; they all saw it.”

The empress questioned the guards one by one, and they all gave consistent accounts that Ning Hua had fallen on her own, with no involvement from Xiao Yufu. The empress initially wanted to use this opportunity to give Xiao Yufu a small lesson, but with so many witnesses present, she had no choice but to let it go.

Shufei also knew that the Crown Prince would definitely stand on Xiaoyu Fu's side, and with the Empress not pursuing it further, she could only temporarily swallow her anger.

“Since it was all a misunderstanding, let’s just drop the matter. Today everyone is here to celebrate my lotus banquet, so please don't let this little incident dampen everyone's spirits.” The Empress also wanted to quell the situation, after all, if things escalated, she would find herself in a difficult position dealing with both sides. However, she gave Xiao Yufu a warning look at the end.

After Qian Si calmed Xiao Yu Fu down, she walked towards Xiao Yu Ge and the others.

"Brother Sichen..." Ninghua thought Qian Sichin had come to see her, so she pouted and acted coquettishly.

But unexpectedly, Qian Sichin bypassed her and came directly in front of Xiao Yuge, softly asking, "Yuge, are you alright"

"It's fine." Xiao Yuge shook her head, shaking the wet sleeves.

Ninghua, seeing this, stamped her foot impatiently: "Brother Sichin, I almost drowned just now..."

"Isn't this person still alive" Qian Si Chen frowned and looked at her: "You don't know how to swim, so it's best to stay away from the water in the future. You almost implicated Ge’er just now. If something happened to Ge’er, this palace would never let you off!"

"Brother SiChen, you..." Ninghua was shocked, and those around her also looked incredulous. Qian Sicheng had never defended Xiao Yuge in any situation before. Hearing his words now, Ninghua even thought she had misheard.

Even Xiao Yuge was strange. Wasn't this man always ignoring her existence Even in her past life, when Xiao Yufei schemed and pushed her into this lotus pond, Qian Si Chen hadn't even bothered to look at her. So what had gotten into him today

"Come here, take Lady Hui Min and Miss Xiao Er to change their clothes," the Empress instructed the palace maid beside her.

"Ge'er, change your clothes first. I'll wait for you in the Zichen Hall." Qian Sicheng said as he draped his cloak over Xiao Yuge, covering her graceful figure.

His actions once again shocked everyone present. Wasn't the Crown Prince always known to dislike Miss Xiao Er Even Xiao Yufu looked at this scene in bewilderment. Her usually calm face gave nothing away as to what she was thinking, but her hand clenched tightly within her sleeve betrayed her true feelings.

Xiao Yu's song initially wanted to refuse, but after a moment's thought, she readily accepted. If she didn't stir things up, how would the person hiding behind the scenes reveal themselves

But she didn't expect that the one who fell into the water in her past life was her, and this time, it was Ning Hua instead.

In the dressing room, Ning Hua was very embarrassed. She wanted to say something, but her usually strong personality made her unable to speak. Furthermore, Qian Si Chen's different treatment of the two of them just now fueled her jealousy.

"Xiao Yu Ge, don't think that because you saved me, I'll be grateful to you." I finally managed to squeeze out those words.

"Even if it were someone else, I would have stepped in to help! So, there's no need for thanks!" Xiao Yuge said coldly, her face devoid of much expression. After all, Ning Hua and Ning Feng hadn't been kind to her in her past life. The wound had gotten wet and stuck to her clothes. With a gentle tug, she winced in pain.were all teenage girls, naturally playful. Upon hearing this, they were naturally overjoyed and pulled their female companions to admire the flowers. There was a flurry of bird song, laughter and chat...
