Wan Ge's tone remained gentle. Although she mentioned that it was not suitable to walk in the rain, there was no hint of blame in her tone.

Shu Jiqing looked at the other person suspiciously again, but ultimately left without saying a word.

She actually found it strange that the other person who fell from such a high cliff only suffered minor injuries, just a few scrapes? That didn't seem normal, did it?

However, there were many branches below the cliff, so Wan Ge had her guards hang some of her torn clothes on the trees to create the illusion that she had been caught by the trees. That way, falling down wouldn't be a big problem.

Moreover, the site has already been set up, so even if there are doubts, no problems can be found.

Of course, not everyone is so lucky. If they are not caught by a tree or hit a tree trunk, they will suffer more than just minor injuries.

…

When Xiao Ning returned with a basin of water, she saw Shu Jiqing again. She didn't give this cousin a friendly look at all, feeling that she had always disliked this cousin, and now she disliked her even more.

So she didn't even bow to Shu Jiqing, but simply placed the water on the table and said softly, "Little... Crown Princess, I've brought the water back."

Xiao Ning almost blurted out "Miss," but then remembered that Shu Jiqing hadn't gone far yet, so she quickly changed her address to "Crown Princess."

…

Once everyone was alone, Wan Ge finally spoke to Xiao Ning to explain what had just happened.

She trusted the girl in front of her completely, and the girl in front of her deserved her complete trust.

Xiao Ning breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this; so that's how it was.

It's good that someone is there to help. Thankfully, the young lady wasn't injured. If she had been hurt, she would have felt terribly guilty.

Xiao Ning was right next to Wan Ge at the time. The moment it was thrown away, Xiao Ning really wanted to grab it, but she was just a little short. At that moment, she felt extremely guilty, blaming herself for not grabbing the young lady's hand.

Wan Ge patted her head again: "I told you not to worry, I won't let myself get hurt. Also, you're not allowed to cry anymore."

Xiao Ning nodded obediently again. She used to never cry, but now that she realized her mistress had suffered a lot of injustice, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her. As she thought about it, her eyes welled up with tears, so she always looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't.

Wan Ge really had no way to deal with the little girl in front of her. Xiao Ning was indeed two years younger than the original owner, and the original owner had always treated her as a younger sister.

Perhaps the other party also felt that the young lady treated her very well, so she cherished the original owner of the body especially.

While applying the medicine to her, Xiao Ning asked worriedly, "Why didn't you agree to the Regent's request to fake your death and escape? That way you wouldn't have to go back and suffer those injustices anymore."

Thinking about all the grievances her young lady had suffered in private, Xiao Ning felt heartbroken again. It was all her fault; she had no idea that her young lady had endured so much suffering.

"I've said before that I want revenge. Some things you have to do yourself to feel the sense of revenge."

Wan Ge still likes having her man help her, but she doesn't want him to do everything for her, otherwise she won't get the thrill of revenge.

She wanted to avenge the original owner and also get revenge on her knees for those few days, even though she had padded her knees and they weren't like the original owner's.
