Chapter 194: I Won't Let You Go Through It Again
Yuan Siyin's lips curled into a cold smile.
You're using this trick on her again, aren't you?
After framing her back then, he wanted to frame Aqing as well.
This time they even risked their lives, which is truly commendable.
"Sister, why don't we pull her out first?"
Yuan Fuqing carefully tugged at her sleeve: "But it really wasn't Aqing who pushed her, she fell down on her own. Aqing isn't a bad child... Sister... will you believe Aqing?"
Yuan Siyin squatted down and gently rubbed his little head, then pulled him into her arms: "Of course your older sister believes what Aqing said. Don't be afraid, Aqing, your older sister will protect you."
"What your older sister has gone through, you will not have to go through again."
After saying that, she got up and walked to the railing, resting her chin on her hands in a languid manner. Her beautiful phoenix eyes held a captivating charm, but in Shen Ruolan's eyes, they were like icicles frozen under the eaves of a green tile, making her shiver involuntarily.
"Consort Shen, this princess would very much like to lend a hand, but I am powerless to do so, as I cannot swim."
She shrugged helplessly, "I'm really sorry, my brother and I are both terrified of water."
Shen Ruolan was so angry that her eyes could practically spit fire.
Nonsense!
If she really couldn't swim, how did she manage to save Yu Shiyan back then?
"Xi Yue! Go quickly and call for help!"
Xi Yue hurriedly responded, stumbled to her feet, and was about to run away to call for help when Yuan Siyin gave her a look, signaling Hongyu to block her way.
Although Hongyu was somewhat hesitant, she was on Yuan Siyin's side after all, so she naturally went ahead without hesitation.
"If you dare to go, I'll break your legs."
Yuan Siyin slowly untied the golden whip and played with it in her palm. Leaning against the vermilion railing, her eyelashes were slightly lowered, and a faint smile appeared on her fair and delicate face. However, the words she spoke sent chills down one's spine.
Xi Yue was indeed too frightened to move.
Shen Ruolan's voice trembled with anger: "Yuan Siyin! How vicious you are!"
"It's not poisonous."
She turned around, smiling sweetly: "Anyway, everyone says that I, Yuan Siyin, am ruthless, so I will be truly ruthless this time, and it will not be in vain that Consort Shen has worked so hard to build up my reputation for so many years."
Then again, no matter how ruthless I am, how can I compare to Consort Shen even slightly?
Shen Ruolan's hand tightened underwater, her long, sharp nails seeming as if a little more force would pierce her delicate skin.
She figured it out.
As long as Yuan Siyin remains alive... as long as she can still speak, she can expose everything she has done at any time.
"I say, Consort Shen's swimming skills are just too good. Not only has she not choked on a drop of water all this time, but she is still so energetic. She is truly extraordinary."
If the concubine can swim, she shouldn't embarrass herself down there. The cold water is harmful to her health; it's not so much drowning as damaging her very foundation.
Keep pretending, let's see how long you can keep it up.
At first, Yuan Fuqing didn't think anything of it, but seeing his elder sister so calm and composed, seemingly not caring about Shen Ruolan's life at all, he suddenly became anxious: "Elder sister..."
He wasn't afraid of what that bad woman might do, but he was worried that his sister would be hurt by the gossip outside.
He was young when his sister was rumored to have been murderous, but he vaguely remembered that she would lose her temper all the time, lock herself in her room and cry alone, and even refuse to eat.
Yuan Siyin's anger subsided considerably when she saw Shangyuan Fuqing's worried eyes, which resembled those of a fawn.
"It's alright, my sister knows what she's doing."
