Seeing the fear flash in Tong Yunyao's eyes, Tong Cheng'er felt satisfied.
Tong Yunyao watched as Granny Fu's hands began to remove her shoes and socks, but she was powerless to do anything about it.
Granny Fu took off her shoes and socks, and then everyone saw a porcelain-white ankle. There was no redness or swelling; anyone could see that there was nothing wrong with the ankle.
Granny Fu also knew what was going on, and said with a look of surprise and doubt, "This is impossible. According to what Princess Yunyao just described, it is impossible that there is no redness or swelling at all."
Tong Cheng'er was very satisfied with the result. Seeing everyone's bewildered and confused expressions, she added, "Granny, why don't you take a look at the other foot? What if Sister Yun Yao has misremembered and forgotten which foot she twisted?"
Granny Fu found it amusing; she felt ashamed for Yun Yao for saying such things, considering it was her own princess.
Only a princess would say something like, "I forgot which ankle I twisted," but it does sound comforting.
Based on Granny Fu's words and Tong Yunyao's behavior just now, everyone present understood that the sprained ankle was fake.
Shumulu's expression was not good. To use such methods at a banquet in her residence was extremely shameless and showed a complete disregard for her family.
Shumulu said coldly, "I think Princess Yunyao's injuries are indeed quite serious. Most people probably wouldn't be able to tell what's wrong with them."
“Mother is right. Oh, Mother, Sister Shuyuan’s foot is also injured.”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Shuyuan. At this moment, Jueluo Shi realized that her daughter's foot injury was probably fake. For the sake of her daughter's reputation, she had no choice but to say, "Shuyuan is usually very afraid of pain, so it should be nothing serious. I'll take her back to the manor and have someone apply some medicine to her."
Tong Cheng'er was unhappy. Why should they? If the two of them hadn't said they twisted their ankles, there wouldn't have been the incident of falling into the water. Besides, the whole thing was strange!
Before Tong Cheng'er could speak, Shumulu said, "Ulanara Fujin, that's not right. The injury happened in our mansion, so it should be our responsibility. Granny Fu, hurry up and take a look at Princess Shuyuan."
Granny Fu: "Yes, Madam."
Then Granny Fu quickly took off Shuyuan's shoes and socks, and just like Tong Yunyao, her ankles looked perfectly normal.
The scene froze for a moment. Shumulu found it amusing. What was going on? In her sphere, one or two people were doing this. Who did they think they were looking down on?
Shumulu said with a sneer, "Ulanara Fujin, I think your daughter's foot is perfectly fine!"
This was indeed embarrassing for Jue Luo Shi, but it was her daughter.
She could only bite the bullet and say, "The child is just a little kid and doesn't know any better. He probably tripped accidentally and thought he twisted his ankle. He's making a mountain out of a molehill. I hope you won't take it personally, Madam."
Shumulu was displeased: "Princess Shuyuan is about to participate in the imperial concubine selection. She is not young anymore, she is a few years older than my daughter. She should not be considered a child anymore, especially since she was involved in the drowning incident today."
"Tell me, if Princess Shuyuan and Princess Yunyao hadn't played tricks on the people in our household, would there have been any incident of someone falling into the water?"
At this moment, Tong Cheng'er suddenly exclaimed "Ah!"
Shumulu asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
“Mother, I was so busy with my two older sisters falling into the water that I forgot about it. I suddenly remembered that in the chaos, it seemed like someone pushed me. If Rulan hadn’t grabbed me, I would have been the one who fell into the water.”
Upon hearing this, Shumulu's face grew even colder. What were they trying to do with her precious daughter?
Shumulu looked at Jueluo and Hesheli and said, "I originally thought this was our fault, but I didn't expect the two princesses to be so capable. There should be an explanation for this! Although the two princesses have indeed suffered, it is not an exaggeration to say that they brought it on themselves. What do you two ladies think should be done about this?"
Hesheli had never liked her granddaughter Yunyao much, and what Yunyao had done today had made her lose face. Hearing this, she glared at Tong Yunyao even more fiercely.
"What do you think is wrong with this?"
Shumulu was displeased by Hesheli's words: "You are the elder, it is your responsibility to make the decision." As for whether the conditions offered would satisfy her, that was her business.
Jue Luo felt embarrassed as she listened. She did love her daughter, but this whole thing had turned out this way. Her daughter had deceived her first, and the details of her falling into the water were unclear. What could she do? She could only wait for Hesheli to speak and see if Shumulu would agree.
After much discussion, the Jueluo and Hesheli clans apologized and gave the person a considerable amount of tangible gifts before finally taking him back.
Seeing that the person had finally left, Tong Cheng'er couldn't help but slump down on the soft couch next to her.
Seeing this, Shumulu couldn't help but say to her, "Look at your posture, sit up straight."
Tong Cheng'er straightened her body.
"Mother, I'm just tired."
Shumulu couldn't help but rub her forehead: "How did you get so tired?"
"I've been talking a lot, so I'm tired."
Shu Mulu:...
Only her daughter could get tired just by talking.
This girl is hopeless.
Shumulu asked her, "There are no outsiders here. Tell your mother what happened today."
Tong Cheng'er: "It's just that kind of situation. Mother guessed right. It's like she tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. She probably didn't like me and wanted to mess with me, but she ended up getting herself into trouble."
Shumulu was still impressed with her daughter's luck, but she still advised her: "If you encounter something like this again, remember to bring more people with you, so you don't suffer a loss."
