Jiang Ying tilted her head and thought for a moment. She really wanted to go see the flowers with her aunt, but her mother had told her to listen to her aunt, so she had to be obedient.

"Will Ying'er come to see her aunt later?" Jiang Ying asked again, worried that Shen Yunxi might leave later.

Shen Yunxi agreed, "Of course, look at those lotus flowers over there, they're beautiful too. More and more people are coming here, why don't you and your mother go see them together?"

From that location, one could see a large lotus pond. Based on Shen Qiuyan's understanding of Jiang Wenye, she should be able to see him from afar and would avoid him.

Upon hearing Shen Yunxi's words, Shen Qiuyan knew that she must have some other plans in mind, so she was not so worried. She believed that Shen Yunxi could do what she wanted to do, and staying here would only disturb her.

"Ying'er, be a good girl, let your mother take you for a walk." Shen Qiuyan stepped forward and took Jiang Ying's hand.

Jiang Ying obediently followed Shen Qiuyan away, but she still looked somewhat reluctant, turning back to look at Shen Yunxi every few steps, still wanting her aunt to stay with her.

Lin Chen now understood Shen Yunxi's plan. He stepped forward and whispered, "Yunxi, I saw some colleagues. Go talk to them and I'll come back to pick you up later."

“Okay, Brother Lin, go ahead.” Shen Yunxi replied. She wasn’t surprised at all that Lin Chen had figured out her plan, after all, he was indeed exceptionally intelligent.

Shen Siqi glanced at Shen Leyi, "Fourth Sister, I also want to go for a walk."

Shen Leyi understood that Shen Siqi wanted to go with Lin Chen, so she immediately nodded, "Okay, you go too."

Only Shen Yunxi, Jiang Weiran, and Shen Leyi remained at the scene, but more and more people slowly walked over from behind.

"Yunxi, there's no one in the stands right now, let's go watch from there." Jiang Weiran didn't care about Shen Leyi at all and spoke directly to Shen Yunxi.

Shen Yunxi looked at Shen Leyi and said, "Fourth sister, let's go together. I didn't expect that only the three of us are left here to admire it. It seems that they don't like the purple lotus very much."

Shen Leyi's eyes were full of surprise. "Okay, let's go."

The three of them slowly walked towards the stands. Shen Leyi became increasingly excited, almost unable to contain the joy on her face.

Once today passes, even if Shen Yunxi doesn't die, she will become a laughing stock in the entire capital. No one will ever mention her engagement with Jun Xuan again; she is unworthy of being engaged to Jun Xuan!

Shen Yunxi seemed to really like the purple lotus. "Weiran, the lotus looks so beautiful. Should we ask the farmhands or servants here if we can buy some to plant in our backyard?"

“That’s true, I think it’s pretty too.” Jiang Weiran nodded, just then seeing a handyman walking over from not far away. “Yunxi, wait for me, I’m going to ask. This purple lotus is really beautiful, I like it very much.”

"Okay, walk slowly, don't fall into the water," Shen Yunxi reminded her.

Jiang Weiran nodded. "Okay, I understand."

Only Shen Yunxi and Shen Leyi remained in the stands. At that moment, Shen Leyi walked to Shen Yunxi's side.

"Sixth Sister, Fourth Sister really envies you and the Emperor for having a marriage decree. Although the Emperor doesn't care about you, the marriage contract is still in effect. What do you think, if something happens to you, the marriage contract will be void, and then the Shen family will find someone else to replace you and fulfill the marriage contract with the Emperor? Anyway, the Emperor doesn't like you, so don't you think this is actually a good thing in the end?" Shen Leyi sighed.

Shen Yunxi glanced at Shen Leyi indifferently before looking away, her gaze still fixed on the distance. "Fourth Sister, I thought you could still endure it for a while, but I didn't expect you to lose your temper so quickly. It really surprises me. Now, Fourth Sister, are you planning to show your true colors and make a move against me?"

Shen Leyi looked completely innocent. "Sixth Sister, what are you saying? Fourth Sister was just a little curious."

"Let me guess what Fourth Sister wants to do to me? Could it be that she wants to kill me so that she can fulfill her marriage agreement with the Emperor and switch places with someone else?" Shen Yunxi chuckled.

As she spoke, Shen Yunxi had already stood at the edge of the stands, her hands resting on the wooden railing.

Seeing this, Shen Leyi's eyes lit up with joy, and her gaze fell on the wooden fence.

"Sixth Sister, you've misunderstood. Fourth Sister would never do such a thing. Don't overthink it; we're sisters." Shen Leyi said, then suddenly looked at Shen Yunxi with surprise and exclaimed, "Ah! Yunxi, what's that in your hand!"

As soon as Shen Leyi finished speaking, she reached out to Shen Yunxi's hand, clearly intending to push her.

Shen Yunxi's lips curled into a strange smile. Just as Shen Leyi was about to touch her hand, she suddenly turned around and took a step back to face the other person.

Shen Leyi's eyes widened, and her body was already leaning towards Shen Yunxi. At this moment, she quickly reached out and grabbed the wooden railing. She didn't expect Shen Yunxi to back away so quickly, which almost scared her to death.

However, the next moment, the wooden fence made a crisp sound, and Shen Leyi realized what she had done. She immediately screamed, and then her body fell straight into the water.

"Thump!"

Shen Yunxi silently took a step back, avoiding the splash of water that Shen Leyi caused when she fell into the water.

"Help, help me!" Shen Leyi struggled.

The lotus pond was nearly two meters deep, and Shen Leyi, who didn't know how to scoop water, was splashing around in the water, attracting the attention of the people around her.

"What happened? Why would a young lady fall into the water out of nowhere?" someone asked.

Shen Yunxi looked around anxiously. "I don't know either. My sister was talking to me here just now. She saw something and got scared. She braced herself against the wooden railing, but for some reason the railing broke and she fell into the water. What should we do? I don't know how to scoop water. I'm afraid my sister is in danger."

The people around looked at each other, none of them knowing how to scoop water, and they watched as Shen Leyi's struggles weakened considerably.

At that moment, everyone around them was kind-hearted. No one thought about anything else; they just felt that Shen Leyi was at least alive, and they should save her no matter what.

"I'll do it, I know how!"

After saying that, a man jumped into the water. Shen Yunxi had just seen the scheming in his eyes, and the man looked somewhat familiar.

However, she was focused on acting and didn't pay much attention to the man who jumped into the water.

Upon hearing the commotion, Jiang Weiran forgot all about asking if they were selling lotus flowers and rushed over as fast as she could.

"Yunxi, Yunxi, are you alright?"

Hearing the sound of someone falling into the water, even though Jiang Weiran knew that Shen Yunxi had a scheme, she still couldn't help but worry about her, fearing that something might happen to her.

Shen Yunxi shook her head, her face full of guilt.

"Oh, I'm fine. It's all my fault for not protecting Fourth Sister."
