Beside the river bank stood a thick-waisted and chubby madam, who was squatting by the water with her back to the crowd. As soon as the person in the river showed his head, she would stretch out her strong arms and push him into the water.

This is why Qiao Jiaojiao and the others only heard the sound of falling into the water but did not hear any cries for help.

At this time, the ladies on the shore were still laughing.

"Look at how proud she was just now. She even said that we were bullying and committing a crime. It was so funny!"

"At such a young age, you are already thinking about showing off. You really don't know your own weight."

"Tsk, you can write a sour poem, and after getting a word of approval from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you become so proud that you don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"

"You still dare to clamor to compete with Sister Sheng, but you don't even look at the family background. If the Duke of Qing moves his finger, the Meng family will be in trouble!"

Qiao Jiaojiao had already heard it, she didn’t expect that the unlucky person being bullied was the heroine!

[Oh my god, that person in the river is Meng Guxue! ]

[According to the normal plot development, Meng Guxue and the male protagonist have already fallen in love in the peach forest. ]

[Although Sheng Xiuran has always been jealous of the heroine, she has no way of getting what she wants because of the hero's protection.]

[Now the heroine has lost the hero's protection, and she has become very popular at the poetry meeting. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, and this has brought her trouble. ]

Seeing Meng Guxue trying her best to float to the surface again, but being pushed back into the water by the nanny, Xiao Qianyue couldn't bear it anymore.

She is kind-hearted and stubborn.

These people are simply using their numbers to bully the minority!

Moreover, from their conversation, we can tell that Miss Meng didn't do anything unforgivable. She just wanted to kill a life out of jealousy!

Qiao Diyi was originally a kind-hearted person, otherwise he would not have jumped into the water to save Meng Guxue's life.

However, he already knew from Qiao Jiaojiao's voice that Meng Guxue was one of the culprits who harmed the entire Qiao family, so at this moment he just stood there with a gloomy face.

Don’t say that nothing happened, Meng Guxue is still innocent.

Things have developed to this point today because of their family's efforts to change things step by step according to their little sister's wishes.

If they hadn't received instructions from my younger sister, then Meng Guxue, who was now in smooth sailing, would soon show his fangs to their Qiao family!

"Stop! What are you doing? Are you taking human life lightly?"

Xiao Qianyue stepped out and spoke loudly.

The loud and powerful sound scared the ladies on the shore and they all turned their heads to look over.

When they looked past Xiao Qianyue and saw the prince behind them, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they knelt on the ground in panic.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The nanny by the water was startled by the word "Prince". Her feet slipped and she fell into the water with a splash.

Meng Guxue finally surfaced and saw a glimmer of hope. He immediately cried for help with a hoarse voice.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, save me!"

Xiao Qianyue hurried to the shore in two or three steps, grabbed Meng Guxue's shoulders and lifted her up.

She is a good martial artist and is as strong as any ordinary man.

Meng Guxue only felt a strong force pulling her upwards. She felt as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and immediately clung to Xiao Qianyue's hand tightly.

Crash——

Meng Guxue was dragged ashore by Xiao Qianyue.

She lay trembling on the ground, her wet clothes clinging to her thin body. Her face was pale and bloodless in the March weather.

The wet hair stuck to Meng Guxue's face, making her look like a puppy caught in the rain, looking disheveled.

Xiao Qianlan couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she walked over and took off her cloak to cover Meng Guxue.

The sudden warmth made Meng Guxue shudder all over. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Qianlan looking at her with concern.

"Miss Meng, where is your maid? I asked her to bring you some clean clothes."

When Meng Guxue heard such a caring voice at the most desperate and embarrassed moment, tears rolled down her cheeks and she burst into tears.

She didn't understand why, as a time-travelling woman, she had such a miserable life in this ignorant and backward ancient times!

She had clearly done what she had originally planned and made a splash at the poetry conference, so why didn't she get the expected thousands of fans following her? Why was she still being bullied by others?

Looking at the gentle Xiao Qianlan in front of him, although Meng Guxue was very grateful to her in his heart, a sense of unwillingness still surged up uncontrollably.

Since God chose her to travel through time, why not let her travel to the body of a lady like Xiao Qianlan, who has a noble status and outstanding appearance!

This way, she can easily have everything she wants without having to work hard!

Xiao Qianlan carefully adjusted the cloak covering Meng Guxue, and when she lowered her eyes she inadvertently met Meng Guxue's eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Qianlan couldn't help but look slightly stunned.

These are a pair of extremely ambitious eyes, filled with unwillingness and resentment, which are frightening to look at.

How could these eyes be what a ten-year-old lady should have...

When Xiao Qianlan thought of this, her expression remained unchanged, but the sympathy and softness in her eyes slowly disappeared.

This Miss Meng... doesn't look like a simple person.

Meng Guxue was still feeling sorry for herself in her heart, and she had no idea where her maid was!

Damn Sheng Xiuran, she tricked her here in the name of the prince, saying that the prince admired her poetry talent and wanted to discuss it in depth with her.

But the maidservant beside her was sent by Madam Meng's cheap mother to keep an eye on her. In order to make things easier for her, she deliberately played a trick and sent the maidservant somewhere else.

Who could have thought that when she happily arrived at the river bank, it was Sheng Xiuran and a group of young ladies waiting for her!

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue shook her head aggrievedly, "I don't know, I don't know where my maid is."

"Oh, it's okay. I'll ask someone to get my clothes and lend them to you."

Xiao Qianyue couldn't bear to see the weak being bullied, so she raised her hand to call for help.

Xiao Qianlan suddenly stood up, calmly pressed Xiao Qianyue's hand, and winked at her.

It’s best not to get involved with Miss Meng, especially something like borrowing clothes. Who knows if it will cause any trouble in the future.

Although Xiao Qianyue didn't understand her sister's intention, she knew in her heart that her sister was the smartest person. If her sister shook her head, that meant it wasn't possible.

So she pretended to be embarrassed and withdrew her hand, muttering, "Oops, I didn't bring a maid with me either."

Qiao Jiaojiao had been watching all this coldly, but when she heard that Xiao Qianyue wanted to lend clothes to Meng Guxue, her heart skipped a beat.

But before she could wave her hand, Xiao Qianlan had already stopped Xiao Qianyue.

Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little respect in her heart.

[As expected of a woman who can get along well with the prince, Miss Xiao is really too insightful! ]

Meng Guxue has always looked down on the people of this dynasty, thinking that they are ignorant and foolish ancients. He himself comes from a new era, so he always thinks he is superior.

But Qiao Jiaojiao and Meng Guxue have completely different ideas.

Children in modern society are too well protected, and there is always a clear stupidity in their eyes, commonly known as innocence.

These young men and women, who are raised with all their might by wealthy families, are not only precocious, but also live in a complex environment. Their minds are truly unfathomable.

Only by always being respectful and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger can you go further in this strange and alien world.

Unfortunately, Meng Guxue couldn't see through this truth at all.
