What's going on?
Han Lingxi asked a question, and the onlookers made way for her.
Although they might secretly mock Han Lingxi for being an unmarried old maid, they wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous on the surface. After all, Han Lingxi comes from a good family and is deeply loved by the eldest princess, and may even become the general's wife in the future.
Whether now or in the future, Han Lingxi is someone most people here can't afford to offend.
Mu Chuliu and Jiang Yi each recounted what had happened, and both of their accounts were plausible, making it difficult to discern who was telling the truth and who was lying.
After Mu Chuliu was rescued, she went to the nearest warm pavilion to change her clothes before coming out. She looked fine and didn't seem to be in any danger, but Han Lingxi, as the eldest princess, still asked about her health as a matter of routine.
Han Lingxi asked everyone who was in the garden at the time, but no one had seen what happened.
Han Lingxi possessed memories of her past life, so she naturally knew that Mu Chuliu had indeed jumped into the lake to frame Jiang Yi. However, it cannot be said that Mu Chuliu was scheming. The truly scheming one was Jiang Yi, because it was she who manipulated Mu Chuliu into believing that framing Jiang Yi would make Jiang Yi forever unable to hold her head high.
In the end, Jiang Yi proved her innocence and became the victim, while Mu Chuliu, who was both drowned and humiliated, was despised by everyone.
"Since no one else saw it, surely the trees by the lake saw it. Why don't we ask the trees?"
Han Lingxi's words caused the people around her to look at each other in confusion, wondering what she was talking about.
"How did Miss Han know I was in the tree?"
A person dressed in dark blue clothes leaped down from the tree, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Second Prince.
"The Second Prince hid it very well, but unfortunately the jade pendant's tassel was exposed."
Han Lingxi spoke naturally, then continued, "Since the Second Prince has been in the tree the whole time, why don't you tell me what the truth of the matter really is?"
The moment Mu Chuliu and Jiang Yi saw the Second Prince climb down from the tree, they both turned pale. Mu Chuliu was afraid that the Second Prince would reveal that she had jumped into the lake to frame Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi thought that if the Second Prince heard what she said, he would definitely know what she was plotting. The Second Prince was not as stupid as Mu Chuliu, who didn't even realize he had been tricked.
"If you ask me, neither of you ladies did it on purpose. You should each take a step back."
The Second Prince said, trying not to offend anyone. Han Lingxi secretly scoffed in her heart, "Both of them will be your concubines in the future. You really know how to maintain a balance of power."
"What do you mean by that, Second Prince?"
Han Lingxi asked, not giving up.
"I was asleep in the tree at the time, so I really don't know what happened to them."
The second prince lied, and it's estimated that no one present believed him, but no one dared to say it aloud.
At this moment, Mu Chuliu and Jiang Yi are probably still grateful to the Second Prince for saving face for them. Since that's the case, Han Lingxi naturally has no interest in being the bad guy.
"Since the Second Prince has spoken in this way, I hope the two young ladies can turn hostility into friendship. What do you think?"
Han Lingxi looked at Mu Chuliu and Jiang Yi and asked. Both of them were worried that their affairs would be found out by others, so they naturally nodded in agreement.
However, this puts Mu Chuliu at a disadvantage, since she was the one who was harmed. If she doesn't pursue the matter now, it would seem as if she has a guilty conscience.
