Shen Jun raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this obvious?"
She learned this eyebrow-raising gesture from Tu Qingyu, and it looked exactly the same.
Chen Yao was almost furious when she saw this. What she hated most was her stepmother's nonchalant raising of her eyebrows.
"You, you...I am your eldest sister!"
Chen Jun stood in front of her two brothers, "Even if you are our eldest sister, you can't slander others."
"You're talking nonsense! She's the one who broke it!"
"Then tell me, why is there mud and sand on the jade pendant?" Chen Jun took another step towards her. "You wanted to slander someone but didn't think twice before picking it up and not even wiping it off?"
She glanced at Chen Yao sideways, and that look seemed to say, "Are you stupid?"
A surge of hot blood rushed to Shen Yao's head.
What annoyed her most was that others said the three siblings were smart and that she and her brother were far inferior to them.
Every time she saw her brother forced to study late into the night by the three of them, she felt heartbroken.
It is obvious that my brother has worked very hard. It is all because of them. If they had not shown their photographic memory and made the teacher and father praise them, my brother would not be so anxious every day.
I almost collapsed from all the hard work several times.
His father also advised him not to be too infatuated, as everyone has their own strengths.
But if my brother doesn't work harder, this marquisate will probably fall into the hands of Shen Cong.
She looked at Chen Jun standing in front of her. She was obviously the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, but the Emperor had conferred the title of County Lady on her.
The nanny said that if the family had not prioritized seniority, she would have also bowed to Chen Jun.
Why?
Thinking of this, she looked at the pond behind Shen Jun, and couldn't help but quickly took a step towards Shen Jun, reaching out to push her into the pond.
"younger sister--!"
Shen Cong and Shen Zhang moved at the same time. Shen Zhang was faster and took Shen Jun to avoid the rushing Shen Yao.
Due to inertia, Chen Yao couldn't stand and fell into the pond.
“Plop!”
"Oh my god! Big girl!"
"Someone come, the girl fell into the water!"
"Someone come quickly!"
“Plop, plop—!”
Soon, servants went into the water one after another. Chen Yao did not stay in the water for long, but just choked on the water twice.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Chen Yao, who was rescued, leaned in the nanny's arms and kept coughing.
I don't know who notified the old lady, but she arrived at this moment.
After five years, she has aged a lot and her head is full of white hair.
"You, what are you doing? Huh? Brother Cong? Were you the ones who pushed Sister Yao into the water?"
Hearing this, Shen Cong frowned subconsciously, "Grandmother, it's my eldest sister..."
"Shut up!" He was scolded the moment he opened his mouth. "You three, relying on your mother to manage the household, act recklessly in the mansion, with no regard for the elders or the inferiors. You even harmed your own eldest sister!"
"Old lady!" Tu Qingyu came over with his people at this time. As soon as he opened his mouth, the whole garden became quiet.
She walked slowly over, and the servants beside her bowed in greeting.
"Don't you understand the context of what you're saying? Are you so eager to convict a five-year-old?"
"Unbridled and disrespectful to elders—what a good word! I'm worried about the future of my children."
To be honest, after fighting with Tu Qingyu for so many years and suffering so many losses, the old lady is also afraid.
But now that so many people are present, she has lost face, and she should get it back no matter what.
"Hmph!" She tapped the ground heavily with her cane. "Is that even a question? Can't you see?"
"The three of them were standing peacefully on the shore, but my sister Yao fell into the water!"
"This is really funny. Is it true that in this world, whoever is weaker is always right?"
"What's more...a five-year-old pushing an eleven-year-old into the water?"
After Tu Qingyu finished speaking, he glanced at the nanny of Chen Cong and the others. The nanny immediately understood and knelt on the ground and began to speak:
"To answer the Madam's question, Third Master saw Xiao Zi kneeling before the eldest girl and was worried something might have happened between them, so he decided to come over to check. After he arrived, the eldest girl said that Xiao Zi had broken the jade pendant that the Madam had given her. Second Master took a look at the jade pendant and discovered that it wasn't broken here, but rather..."
As she spoke, she raised her eyes and glanced at the old lady, who was furious at her look.
"What are you looking at me for?!"
The nanny continued, "This servant deserves death. Second Master revealed that it wasn't Xiao Zi who broke the jade pendant, but that the eldest girl framed her. After a few more words, the eldest girl was furious and tried to push our county lady. Third Master helped the county lady to avoid it, but the eldest girl couldn't stop herself and fell into the pond."
"You're talking nonsense!" The old lady didn't believe it at all. "How can you accuse the eldest lady in the mansion of slandering me?"
Tu Qingyu said quietly, "The eldest lady shouldn't be framed, but my family member deserves to be framed?"
"This nanny is from your courtyard, so she's naturally on your child's side." She looked around and pointed at the person serving beside Chen Yao and said, "You! Come out and speak!"
The person she pointed out quickly knelt down and trembled as he spoke, "It is indeed as Madam Wei said."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then spoke to Tu Qingyu, "You really have the omnipotence in this mansion now!"
Tu Qingyu glanced at Chen Yao, who was still lying in the nanny's arms, with a half-smile, "If not, why don't you take the eldest sister downstairs to change clothes first?"
The little girl looked quite embarrassed. Although she didn't feel sorry for them, she was still willing to annoy the two of them.
The old lady froze for a moment, turned her head to look at Shen Yao's unhappy face, and just as she was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of Shen Liao coming over from the corner of her eye.
