Seeing Jiang Jiyao's ungrateful behavior, even the maid who was guiding Shen Qiyin couldn't stand it anymore and mustered her courage to whisper a reminder: "Miss... the divine physician only helped you out of kindness because he was afraid something would happen to you..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Jiyao glared at her fiercely.
The little maid was startled.
Her name is Han Cui, and she was present when Jiang Jiyao and Shen Qiyin had their argument last time.
She even got slapped back then.
This time, she was scolded by Jiang Jiyao again, and she didn't even dare to breathe.
Jiang Jiyao looked at Shen Qiyin again, his expression smug, and said, "What does it matter to you whether I live or die? Stop trying to curry favor with me."
"Don't think that just because you think you're so great that you saved me, I'll be grateful to you. Sooner or later, I'll make you die by my hand!"
"I'm sorry." Shen Qiyin frowned, looking apologetic.
Jiang Jiyao was taken aback for a moment.
Is she scared now?
Shen Qiyin stepped forward and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I delayed your reincarnation. I will try my best to make up for it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed Jiang Jiyao into the water with a swift and decisive motion!
Han Cui watched from the side, her jaw nearly dropping in astonishment.
She looked at Shen Qiyin's frail back with horror, thinking to herself, "Would the divine doctor get so carried away that he drowns me too?"
Fortunately, no.
Shen Qiyin stood by the lake, looking down at Jiang Jiyao who was splashing around in the water. A smile played on her lips as she waved to her and said, "Have a safe journey, Miss Jiang."
She turned around and walked away.
He said to Han Cui in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "What a pity..."
"She died in the lake, and that pond of koi fish finally met its end."
Han Cui: "!"
What a waste of that pond full of koi!
Seeing that Jiang Jiyao had started bubbling in the water, Han Cui suddenly woke up as if from a dream, shouting "My cousin has jumped into the lake!" while standing on the shore trying to pull her out.
Upon hearing the words "drowning in the lake," Shen Qiyin's gaze upon Han Cui became somewhat playful.
This little girl is quite clever.
Han Cui struggled to pull Jiang Jiyao ashore, just then, Old Madam Wei, surrounded by a large group of maids and servants, hurried over from not far away.
"Rumors are spreading!" Old Madam Wei's face showed worry: "What happened? Why would someone suddenly jump into the lake?"
Jiang Jiyao choked on water and coughed incessantly.
She did indeed intend to drown herself in the lake.
Of course, his suicide attempt was a pretense; his real intention was to gain the old lady's guilt and pity.
But now, she has changed her mind.
"It was her!" Jiang Jiyao threw herself into Old Madam Wei's arms, crying pitifully, "She pushed me into the water!"
In short, he successfully drew everyone's attention to Shen Xiyin, who was standing a little further away.
"Waaaaah..."
"Grandma, Jiyao almost didn't get to see you again, I was so scared."
"I don't know where I offended Miss Shen, that she hates me so much that she wants to watch me fall into the water and drown!"
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Wei looked up at Shen Qiyin, her expression complex.
Granny Fang, keeping her eyes downcast, stepped forward to help Jiang Jiyao up, saying, "Madam, let me take Miss Jiang home first."
"Take a hot bath, change into clean clothes, and drink a cup of ginger tea to ward off the cold, otherwise you might catch a cold."
Madam Wei nodded solemnly: "Yes, go ahead."
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Jiyao reacted as if someone had stepped on her tail, letting out a loud "Awooo!" and shouting, "I'm not leaving!"
"Spreading rumors..."
"You haven't punished this vicious woman yet to avenge me!" Jiang Jiyao glared at Shen Qiyin with resentment.
But when facing Old Madam Wei, she put on a pitiful expression: "Grandma, don't you love Jiyao anymore?"
“Since Shen Xiyin appeared, you haven’t been as doting on me as before.”
Shen Qiyin listened quietly, her eyes flickering slightly.
Madam Wei's favor towards Jiang Jiyao has diminished considerably, not because of her, but because of someone else.
Two days ago, after Shen Qiyin gave Wei Heng acupuncture, she was called by Old Madam Wei to eat something delicious as usual. The two were chatting idly when a maidservant hurriedly came.
She was originally a maidservant to the old lady, but was later betrothed to Jiang Jiyao.
She overheard the conversation between the master and servant, saying that Jiang Jiyao instructed her maid to secretly dispose of the packets of medicine that were originally intended for Wei Heng, so as not to be discovered and cause any problems.
This is just hearsay; there is no evidence.
But Shen Qiyin knew that this matter had already planted a seed of suspicion in Old Madam Wei's heart.
Jiang Jiyao clearly sensed that the old lady's attitude towards her had become much colder recently, and she had also vaguely heard rumors that she was going to find a husband for her. That's why she came up with this idea, hoping to arouse the old lady's pity.
"Are you not planning to spread rumors anymore?"
Madam Wei said helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about..."
"Then you should punish her severely!" Jiang Jiyao said impatiently. "She caused me to fall into the water, so I'll make her fall into the water too, give her a good beating, and kick her out of the Marquis's mansion, never to set foot here again!"
Shen Xiyin: "No, do you have some serious illness?"
"You..." Jiang Jiyao immediately complained to Madam Wei, "Grandma, listen, she's scolding me!"
"No, I'm not." Shen Qiyin shook her head innocently. "I'm just worried about you, afraid you might have some kind of illness."
"You're the one who's sick!"
"I don't."
"I don't have any either!"
