Chapter 55: This is the truth
Xie Yingmian asked, "According to what Madam Fang said, you are absolutely determined to make Miss Fang and I wear wet clothes and recount the events in this biting cold wind?"
"Fang Yilin and I don't get along, and we both know that we should move indoors to a warm place, change our wet clothes, and dry our hair."
"Mrs. Fang repeatedly stopped me and forced me."
"I reasonably suspect that your genuine concern for Fang Yilin is fake, and your real intention is to take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble."
Mrs. Fang: “You!”
Madam Fang pointed at Xie Yingmian: "Okay, okay!"
"Princess Ling really has a sharp tongue."
Xie Yingmian seemed oblivious to Mrs. Fang's sarcasm and thanked her sincerely, "Thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Fang."
Mrs. Fang felt as if she had punched cotton and was extremely frustrated.
Xie Yingmian turned around and asked the Concubine Dowager, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
The toffee frowned.
This time, it is indeed the sister-in-law who is wrong.
Xie Yingmian can't run away, and the truth will be known at any time.
The weather is so cold and the wind is so strong, why bother to dwell on this moment?
The concubine said, "Move the people into the house first, and prepare hot water, clean clothes, and ginger soup."
"Where's the imperial physician? When will he arrive? Go and urge him."
Mrs. Fang wanted to say something else.
Seeing the Toffee's cold face, he finally swallowed it.
The maids quickly carried Fang Yilin into the house.
The stove in the house was burning.
It felt much warmer once we entered.
Xie Yingmian's eyes darkened slightly.
The traces and the heater in the house were easy to explain, as they could be attributed to her.
It’s hard to say about Wen Juexia.
Fortunately, she had the habit of anti-reconnaissance and hid Wen Juexia before going out.
Xie Yingmian took off her clothes and went behind the screen, moving Wen Juexia to a more secluded place.
The concubine did not treat her harshly.
Someone also prepared a hot bath and ginger soup for her.
Xie Yingmian took a hot bath, drank ginger soup, and changed into clean clothes.
Her high fever wouldn't go away anytime soon, so she could only suppress it temporarily.
After getting dressed, Xie Yingmian came before the concubine.
When Madam Fang saw Xie Yingmian, she was furious: "Princess Ling, can you tell me now?"
Xie Yingmian didn't even look at Madam Fang and saluted the Concubine Dowager.
"Mrs. Dowager, the truth is not complicated."
"This is what happened."
Xie Yingmian said calmly:
"About half an hour ago, a maid came to Danyue Courtyard and said that the Dowager Consort asked me to come to Fengzao Courtyard. I said I wanted to go back and dress up. The maid said that the Dowager Consort was in a hurry and didn't need to dress up. I could just go with her."
"I didn't think much of it. At the time, I was stewing some tonic for His Royal Highness Prince Ling. I also specifically instructed Guard Fu Mo before following the nanny to Fengzao Courtyard."
"The nanny took me to the lakeside cottage and said that the Concubine Dowager would be here soon and asked me to wait."
"It was cold outside, so I came in first. I thought the Concubine Dowager was afraid of the cold, so I lit the stove to warm up the room."
"But after waiting for a long time, you didn't come, Madam Dowager, but Miss Fang."
Xie Yingmian's voice was neither loud nor urgent.
She stated in her own rhythm and tone: "Ms. Fang said she came to apologize to me."
"I accepted Ms. Fang's apology and told her that bygones are bygones, that it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Besides, the previous incident was all a misunderstanding, and this matter is over now."
"Miss Fang also agreed."
"I thought this was a happy ending for everyone, but who knew..."
When Xie Yingmian said this, he sighed deeply.
"Who would have thought that Miss Fang tricked me into the water corridor, said some incomprehensible things to me, and then jumped into the lake."
"She asked me why I pushed her and said she wanted the Concubine Dowager to punish me and make me pay for it."
"Fortunately, it's a shallow area, the water level is only up to the waist, so it won't drown anyone."
"I thought Miss Fang was joking with me. I told her to stop. Jumping into the lake in this weather could easily lead to serious illness."
"Miss Fang pointed at me and yelled at me. Her words were so nasty I won't repeat them."
"I just realized that Miss Fang was taking advantage of the opportunity to slander me under the guise of an apology. I was very angry and didn't want to talk to her anymore."
"Later, I heard Miss Fang calling for help, but I thought she was using her old tricks again, so I ignored her."
"Later, Miss Fang's voice became quieter and quieter. I realized something was wrong and ran over to take a look."
"Miss Fang's legs cramped underwater, and she couldn't stand and fell into the water and drowned."
"I saw something was wrong, so I jumped down to save them..."
"That's nonsense!" Before Xie Yingmian could finish, Madam Fang shouted angrily, "Even now, you still want to bite Lin'er."
"Princess Ling, do you think you can confuse right and wrong with just your words?"
"I'm warning you..."
"Mrs. Fang." Xie Yingmian said softly.
"Whether it's a distortion of right or wrong is not up to me or Madam Fang to decide. Since I dare to say it, I naturally have evidence. Why is Madam Fang so anxious to refute me?"
"Besides, Madam Fang wasn't there, so how could she know that I was talking nonsense?"
"Mrs. Fang, without any investigation or verification, is accusing me of something. Isn't that a bad thing?"
"You!" Mrs. Fang had fully experienced Xie Yingmian's sharp tongue.
She pointed at Xie Yingmian with trembling fingers: "What a powerful mouth."
"I know my Lin'er. She is kind-hearted and friendly. How could she deliberately slander you?"
"Don't try to throw dirty water on Lin'er..."
puff!
Before Mrs. Fang finished her words, Xie Yingmian couldn't help laughing out loud.
Her laughter was loud and abrupt, with obvious sarcasm.
Mrs. Fang didn't expect Xie Yingmian to dare to laugh at her in public. She felt embarrassed and annoyed: "What are you laughing at?"
Xie Yingmian said seriously, "Mrs. Fang, you are no longer a three-year-old child. You should stop making jokes about praising your own children."
"If you continue to ask questions in this unfair and unjust manner, I will ignore you from now on."
Mrs. Fang: "How dare you speak to me like that!"
Xie Yingmian said coldly, "If we really want to talk about hierarchy, Madam Fang should bow to me."
"I respect you as my elder and have always been kind to you."
"I have also told you the truth you requested. I think I have been very polite."
"And you?"
"You've been bossing me around from the beginning."
"I explained the truth and provided evidence, but you still don't believe me."
"It's normal for you not to believe me. Just investigate on your own. If you find out I'm lying, it's not too late to confront me later."
"But what did you do? You didn't try to discern the truth, you just kept blaming me."
"Because Fang Yilin is your daughter, she is kind by nature. And because I am not your daughter, I am evil by nature? So what you mean is that no matter what Fang Yilin does, it is my fault."
"There's no such thing as this, right?"
Mrs. Fang was so irritated by Xie Yingmian that she couldn't say a word.
She was shaking with anger.
"Little sister, look at the daughter-in-law you chose, it's really against the will of heaven!"
"Divorce her today!"
"No, divorcing her would be too easy for her. She should be drowned in a pond."
