He praised: "Yaoyao is really smart now."

"Birds of a feather flock together." Du Yaoyao complimented, "I have been following you for three years. If I am not smarter, I will be left behind."

“Nonsense.” Shen Jie tapped her on the forehead.

"It hurts..." Du Yaoyao cried out in a fake voice and pushed his hand away. "Stop it, let's talk about business."

She continued, "I didn't push my cousin into the lake. Qiuyue pushed her from behind." She lifted her coat to show him, "I pushed her waist. I don't know if it sprained it. It still hurts."

The original owner was frail and Du Yaoyao had already felt a slight pain in her lower back.

Shen Jie looked closely and saw a swollen red mark on the delicate white skin.

He touched the spot and rubbed it gently, "It's hurt. I'll apply medicine for you when we get back."

"Okay." Du Yaoyao responded sweetly, leaning in his arms and talking about the maid.

"Not only Qiuyue is weird, but the maid who rowed the boat is also weird. My cousin and I fell into the water, and the woman who rowed our boat came down to help us, but she kept dragging my cousin into the lake. I finally got rid of her, and then I didn't dare let other maids get close to me."

This explains why he refused to accept the rescue offer from the maids in the lake and instead confronted them harshly.

"I believe you, Yaoyao." Chen Jie tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and asked, "Do you believe me?"

"Believe me, how could I not believe you?" Du Yaoyao pretended to be confident.

"Then why did you choose to sink into the lake yourself?" Du Yaoyao was about to explain, but Chen Jie said seriously, "Don't think I didn't see the look you gave Lin Shuyan."

Du Yaoyao took the risk because there was more than one person coming to rescue her, and she also wanted to bring Chen Jie and Lin Shuwan together.

"Everyone will accuse me of pushing my cousin into the water. I have to find a way to prove my innocence and shut everyone up." Du Yaoyao looked like she was doing something that "I had no choice."

"You can't gamble your life!" Chen Jie scolded. Seeing that she was aggrieved, he softened his tone, "What should I do if something happens to you?"

You should start a harem, but can you remain a virgin for me all your life?

There were some complicated emotions in his eyes. Du Yaoyao subconsciously wanted to avoid it and coaxed him, "I'm fine. I won't do it again in the future."

"If anything happens to you, ten or a hundred Qiuyues won't be enough to compensate you." Chen Jie fastened her clothes and hugged her tightly, "Even if Chu Xun died, it wouldn't help."

He bluntly revealed that the mastermind behind this was Prince Chen.

"Then what should we do about this?" Du Yaoyao frowned, "I want to give the Lin family an explanation..."

"You go back first, I'll take care of it." Shen Jie said.

"No!" Du Yaoyao refused, "I'll go with you."

“You have an injury on your waist…” Shen Jie was worried.

"It's okay." Du Yaoyao said firmly.

The Lin family had a prejudice against her, and if Lin Shuwan didn't explain the matter clearly, she was afraid that the Lin family would still hate her in the future.

Qiuyue was the one who confused right and wrong. If she didn't go, she might be framed again.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door from Liu'er. "Sir, Madam Jiang from the front hall sent someone to invite you over."

Chen Jie and Du Yaoyao looked at each other. Du Yaoyao held her waist and said coquettishly, "Carry me."
