Soon, she discovered the person who was staring at her - a woman in a moon-white dress. The woman's eyes were full of hatred and unwillingness, which made people shudder.
It turns out this woman is Yan Jiao'er, the daughter of General Yan and cousin of Prince Gong. She has always harbored deep feelings for Prince Gong and longed to marry him. However, what happened today was beyond her expectations—the Emperor actually gave Jiang Meiyu to Prince Gong, undoubtedly shattering all her fantasies.
Faced with this situation, Yan Jiao'er's anger was indescribable. She couldn't accept that her beloved man was going to marry another woman, let alone that woman who was her love rival. So, when she saw Jiang Meiyu, her anger instantly flared up, and she wanted to rush over and demand to know why she was trying to steal her happiness.
"Sister, are you tired today? Lian'er has prepared tea and snacks for you," Jiang Meilian said gently.
Jiang Meiyu did not answer, but just glanced at the food on the table and couldn't help but sneer in her heart: Humph, what tricks is this woman trying to play again.
As she spoke, Jiang Meilian picked up a piece of mung bean cake and handed it to Jiang Meiyu with a flattering smile on her face.
Jiang Meiyu looked at the mung bean cake in front of her, feeling disgusted. She knew this woman had bad intentions. But she pretended to be calm, took the mung bean cake, and took a light bite.
"Well, it tastes good." Jiang Meiyu said lightly.
Jiang Meilian was secretly delighted to see Jiang Meiyu finally willing to eat. She felt that her plan was half successful, and now she just needed to find another opportunity to push Jiang Meiyu into the lotus pond.
At this moment, Jiang Meiyu suddenly heard a voice in her mind: "Yuyu, she wants to harm you. Look, there is something next to the stone table. The ground is slippery. She must want to push you into the lotus pond."
Jiang Meiyu was shocked and immediately understood Jiang Meilian's intention. It turned out that this woman had set a trap long ago and was waiting for her to take the bait.
Jiang Meiyu calmly put the mung bean cake aside, and then said to Jiang Meilian: "Sister, the scenery here is really beautiful, let's go over there and take a look."
Jiang Meilian didn't know that Jiang Meiyu had discovered her conspiracy. She thought Jiang Meiyu was really moved by her, so she happily agreed, "Okay, sister."
The two walked to the stone table, and Jiang Meiyu deliberately slowed down to let Jiang Meilian walk in front. At this moment, a woman suddenly rushed out and said, "Go to hell!" Jiang Meiyu's body tilted, and the woman pushed Jiang Meilian's back with both hands.
Jiang Meilian was caught off guard and lost her balance, falling forward. She subconsciously reached out to grab the stone table, but because the ground was too slippery, her hands couldn't hold on at all, and she fell directly into the lotus pond.
"Plop!" There was a loud noise and water splashed everywhere.
Jiang Meilian struggled in the water, shouting for help: "Help! Help!"
Jiang Meiyu stood on the shore, looking at Jiang Meilian coldly, with a mocking smile on her lips. She knew that this time Jiang Meilian had reaped the consequences of her own actions.
"Ah, who are you? Why did you push my sister into the lotus pond?" Jiang Meiyu pretended to be surprised and angry, and asked Yan Jiaoer loudly.
Yan Jiao'er panicked, but quickly calmed down and pretended to be helpless as she explained, "I really didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to come over and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I didn't expect such an accident to happen."
The people around started to talk about it, and some shouted anxiously: "Help! Help! Help!"
At that moment, everyone's attention was focused on the lotus pond. Jiang Meilian was seen desperately struggling in the water, crying for help. Even more shocking was the sight of her face rapidly festering in the water, becoming a horrific sight. She screamed in terror, "Help! My face, my body, please save me!" Her voice was filled with fear and despair.
Everyone was stunned by the scene, unsure how to react. Yan Jiao'er stood aside, secretly pleased with herself, thinking she had finally found the perfect opportunity to exact revenge on the Jiang sisters. It was a pity Jiang Meiyu didn't fall...
