Chapter 56 Lin Qianqian is framed
Murong Yi and Lin Qianqian returned to the Prime Minister's residence to visit their relatives, full of joy and anticipation for a harmonious reunion. However, Lin Yueyue was filled with jealousy and ignored everything, only thinking about ruining it.
The group strolled through the Prime Minister's residence, admiring the beautiful scenery—a tapestry of blooming flowers and exquisitely arranged pavilions and towers. Taking advantage of the others' inattention, Lin Yueyue quietly approached Lin Qianqian, a seemingly friendly smile on her face. Initially, the atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious. However, it wasn't long before Lin Yueyue began to stir up trouble, her words filled with sarcasm: "Sister, now that you've latched onto the Ninth Prince, you're truly living a life of unparalleled glory. You probably don't even care about us sisters anymore."
Lin Qianqian understood her intention, but smiled calmly and responded cleverly: "Sister is joking. The prince and I are of one mind and treat each other sincerely. How could I be as narrow-minded as you, judging a gentleman by my own petty standards?"
These words ignited Lin Yueyue's anger. She gritted her teeth, a plan forming in her mind. Suddenly, she reached out and pretended to pull Lin Qianqian intimately, but secretly exerted force, making it appear to outsiders as if the two were having a heated argument. Just then, Murong Yi and the Prime Minister strolled by.
Lin Yueyue seized the opportunity and jumped into the water, shouting, "Help! Sister, why did you push me!" Her voice was sharp and shrill, instantly shattering the peace.
Aunt Liu, who had been keeping a close eye on the commotion, rushed forward upon seeing the scene, tears streaming down her face. With masterful acting, she cried out, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly, save the Second Miss! Qianqian, how could you do this to Yueyue! You're sisters! Waaaaah!" The surrounding servants exchanged bewildered glances, pointing and whispering about Lin Qianqian. The Prime Minister, observing the chaotic scene, frowned deeply, his eyes filled with disappointment and confusion.
Murong Yi's face darkened, his brows furrowed, and he pondered without speaking. He exchanged a glance with the Prime Minister, then strode to the edge of the pool, directing his servants to go into the water to rescue the person. His eyes were fixed on Lin Qianqian, who was frowning and looking bewildered. Lin Qianqian was also looking at him, her eyes filled with grievance and helplessness, as if telling him that she knew nothing.
A moment later, amidst the frantic efforts of the crowd, Lin Yueyue was pulled from the water in a disheveled state. Her face was pale, her hair was tangled and plastered to her cheeks, and she looked pitiful, soaked to the bone. However, a hint of smugness inadvertently crept into her slightly trembling lips.
Aunt Liu rushed over anxiously, draped the prepared coat over her daughter's shoulders, and then berated the servants in rapid succession: "What are you servants doing? What are you standing there for? Quickly take the Second Miss inside to change her clothes. If anything happens to the Second Miss, I will not forgive you!" Although she was scolding them, her words were loaded with meaning, and her eyes kept glancing at Lin Qianqian, as if she were indirectly criticizing her.
As Lin Yueyue was escorted away, behind this seemingly chaotic scene, a real battle concerning the truth and people's hearts was just beginning.
Murong Yi's expression was cold and stern. He approached Lin Qianqian and said in a low, cold voice, "What exactly happened?"
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian looked up at his calm yet unchanging expression and frowned, falling into deep thought.
Prime Minister Lin stood to the side, his brows furrowed, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces, his mind filled with doubt. He then looked at Lin Qianqian, a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he remained silent. Instead, he turned to Murong Yi, bowed, and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry Your Highness had to laugh at me today! Let my daughter change her clothes before I ask her what happened!"
