After ten years of absence, the true daughter of the Song family, the Imperial Censor's household, has returned.
She has a hideous face and crude manners, resembling a country bumpkin or ...
The most important thing in Chapter 4 is that the second daughter actually fell into the water.
Song Qinghan was startled by the sound, then secretly increased her strength, her expression innocent: "Sister, how could I have fallen into the water for no reason?"
She'll only be pushed down by Si Niannian!
Si Niannian gave an "oh" and murmured, "So that's where you were waiting for me."
She said, "How could Song Qinghan possibly be kind enough to show her the way?"
Unless she has something she wants to do on this inevitable route.
Si Niannian had observed the entire journey and concluded that this was the most suitable place to frame someone.
The long corridor without railings, the seemingly tranquil lake, and the servants instructed by Song Qinghan all standing at a distance.
If there's any pulling or pushing, you could easily fall if you're not careful.
In this freezing weather, Song Qinghan is really going all out...
Si Niannian flipped her hand to break free from Song Qinghan's control, and instead took the initiative to clamp her wrist, saying ambiguously, "I can hold my breath and dig out three lotus roots from the water, can you?"
Song Qinghan's expression went blank: "What do you mean?"
"you……"
Si Niannian looked at Song Wen running towards her and smiled, "Little sister, you may not know me very well."
"I'm not one to hold grudges, because I settle scores on the spot."
Song Qinghan sensed something was wrong, her expression changed, and she tried to shake off Si Niannian.
But Si Niannian's movements were even faster!
Si Niannian tapped Song Qinghan's arm, and Song Qinghan involuntarily pushed him away.
The moment Si Niannian was pushed into the air, she instinctively grabbed Song Qinghan's outstretched hand, pulling Song Qinghan down uncontrollably as well!
But Si Niannian is actually smiling!
Si Niannian's smiling voice cut through the wind: "I hope your swimming skills are better than your courage, otherwise..."
"Then you can go and stay with your snow-covered companion forever!"
thump!
Water splashed up, drowning out all of Song Qinghan's cries for help, and she sank to the bottom in the blink of an eye!
Song Wen watched helplessly as the two people not far away fell into the lake, and he jumped up and down in a panic: "Han'er!"
"Someone come here!"
"Help! Han'er has fallen into the water!"
"Quickly, save them! Hurry!"
Glug glug...
"Second Miss!"
"Han'er!"
Thump thump!
The women who knew how to swim jumped into the lake in a swarm, but the water was so still that no sound could be heard.
Song Qinghan struggled time and time again, but was pressed down to the bottom of the unseen water.
Fear filled her eyes, which she couldn't open no matter what she did, and her strength in her hands and feet grew weaker and weaker. Only then did Si Niannian, who had been holding her down, take pity and loosen her grip slightly.
Si Niannian, carrying the unconscious Song Qinghan, opened her mouth and spat out a water bubble.
With such limited skills, how dare you try to frame her?
waste.
The commotion on the lake grew louder and louder, so Si Niannian grabbed the ribbon around Song Qinghan's waist and floated to the surface.
Splash!
"Here it is!" the old woman, who had been soaking in the water with no clue whatsoever, shouted excitedly, "Found it!"
"The eldest daughter rescued the second daughter!"
"Quickly! Someone come and help!"
With the old woman's help, Si Niannian finally managed to lift Song Qinghan onto the small boat.
The small boat sped to the shore, and Song Wen rushed over, picked up Song Qinghan, and was about to run away: "Han'er!"
"Quickly, fetch a doctor! I..."
"Cough cough cough!"
Si Niannian's fingertips, white from being soaked in water, gripped Song Wen's sleeve. She tilted her head back, revealing her wet little face, and said, word by word, "You saw her push me, right?"
The angle at which she entered the water was one she had anticipated.
The distance Song Qinghan pushed her with her outstretched arm was also something she had planned.
Song Wen couldn't possibly have missed it.
However, Song Wen's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Han'er would never hurt anyone. There must have been some misunderstanding!"
"Don't blame others for your own loss of balance. Besides, I clearly saw Han'er reach out to pull you up. If she hadn't been trying to pull you up, she wouldn't have fallen..."
“So you really saw it clearly,” Si Niannian shook her head and declined the old woman’s help, then said sarcastically, “Don’t worry, I have no intention of claiming to be her savior.”
She couldn't be bothered to drown such a filthy thing herself, lest she dirty the hands that guide her through reincarnation.
Si Niannian gave a slight smirk: "I just wanted to remind you."
"Now that you've figured out who pushed whom, keep your mouth shut. Don't wait until some people wake up and start barking indiscriminately along with her."
Song Wen was so angry that he wanted to kick Si Niannian back into the lake, but because Song Qinghan in his arms was still dizzy, he glared at Si Niannian and then ran away with his men shouting.
The corridor, which was just a moment ago crowded with people, was now empty except for Si Niannian, who was dripping wet, and a few old women who had also been in a sorry state after rescuing people from the water.
One of them, whose face was blue from the cold, took out a padded jacket that he had just taken off and placed on the shore and ran over: "Young lady, this garment was just washed, please make do with it for now."
Although it was already March, the lake water, still chilled to the bone by the melting snow, was too cold for Si Niannian's small frame.
The old woman, fearing Si Niannian would find it offensive, said tremblingly, "It really has been washed, it's not dirty and doesn't smell. It's better to wear it than..."
"Thanks."
Si Niannian accepted it with both hands and chuckled softly, "It's rare that someone still remembers me."
So many people were rushing around noisily, but there was only one of them.
The old woman's honest face was full of trouble. She tapped her upper and lower teeth together for a while before she smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, young lady, things will get better."
Parents and children are bound by a karmic connection from a previous life. How could there be parents who don't love their own daughter?
Si Niannian exhaled a breath of hot air and sneered, "Yes."
How did such a rare thing happen to the poor original owner?
The old woman, mindful of her status, dared not say more, and coaxed softly, "Miss, you should change your clothes first, just to avoid..."
"Young lady!"
Madam Song's attendant, Qian Mama, ran over with a livid face, followed by two burly old women.
The three men blocked Si Niannian in the corridor from the front and back, and their first words were a warning: "Madam wants you to come with us, young lady. Please don't make things difficult for us."
Si Niannian had anticipated that this matter would be difficult to resolve peacefully, but she did not expect it to happen so quickly.
It seems Song Qinghan wasn't exaggerating.
The original owner's biological mother really cared about her.
Si Niannian glanced down at her dripping clothes, raised an eyebrow, and stated the fact: "I was the one who fished her out."
So many people present saw it.
Unexpectedly, Qian's mother said, "That's not important."
"The important thing is that the second daughter actually fell into the water."
Song Qinghan was delicate and frail. Falling into the water and being exposed to the cold in early spring, how could she possibly endure such suffering?
Moreover, she accidentally fell into the water while she was with Si Niannian.
How could Si Niannian be innocent?
The old woman who was dressing Si Niannian nervously interjected, "The young lady just came out of the water after rescuing someone, so why don't you change your clothes first..."
"Shut up!" Madam Qian glared angrily. "You have no right to interrupt Madam's orders!"
Madam Qian gestured for Si Niannian to enter, her tone stiff: "The young lady is strong and healthy, she probably doesn't care about this bit of cold."
"Let's not delay any longer, come with me to see the lady."
If you arrive late, it could be even more troublesome.
Si Niannian, of course, didn't care about the chill.
She was born immune to heat and cold, and ordinary swords and knives could hardly harm her.
What truly tormented her was the intensifying burning pain in her body.
Every word Song Qinghan said.
Song Wen launched into a furious tirade without giving a chance to explain.
Even the impending charges against her are what truly pierce the heart.
Si Niannian wrapped her old cotton-padded coat tightly to cover the red spots on her neck. As if she couldn't stand the cold, she let out a strange sound from her throat, which startled the white doves on the withered tree. In the blink of an eye, they flew over the Song family's courtyard wall.
Si Niannian looked away: "Okay, let's go then."
She wanted to see what kind of punishment awaited her!
