Princess Ruihua was stunned. She was just anxious just now. When she heard Bishui say that it was Chen Nian who kicked Yun'er down, she got angry and asked for the blame directly.
She thought that Yun'er was just pestering Chen Nian, and Chen Nian was unwilling, so she took action directly.
Unexpectedly, Yun'er was the first to take action.
Then I thought again, although Yun'er is ignorant, she would not blatantly kick Master Shen's wife into the lake. There must be some reason behind it.
"Who is Yun'er? How could I not know her? She couldn't possibly do this. There must be some misunderstanding."
"It was Princess Yunying who kicked the wife of Master Shen down. I saw it clearly at that time." Lin Sayu couldn't bear to listen anymore and replied loudly.
Princess Ruihua didn't expect that someone would actually dare to stand up and testify, and she looked at Lin Sayu deeply.
But now that things have come to this, I can only bite the bullet and protect my daughter.
"Then your wife can just rescue her directly. Even if Yun'er is wrong, you can tell me and I will teach her a lesson. You can't just kick her into the lake, right?"
“Humph, if I hadn’t arrived quickly just now, my wife would have drowned.” Shen Nian said sarcastically.
When he heard Wen Jin's maid say that Xia Tian had fallen into the water, he was shocked and didn't bother to ask anything. He hurried over here.
When he arrived at the place, he saw a circle of people gathered, but no one offered a helping hand. Only Xia Tian was floating alone on the water. At that time, he even wanted to kill someone.
But he didn't know whether Xia Tian fell into the water accidentally or it was caused by human factors, so he could only bear the pain and rescue the person first.
After knowing that it was Princess Yunying who kicked Xia Tian into the water, he didn't think about anything else and just wanted Yunying to try it in the water as well. He was already merciful in not taking her life.
"That's right, Princess. When we came here just now, Princess Yunying sent people to stop others from rescuing people. If Master Shen hadn't arrived in time, his wife would have really been in trouble." Wen Lan saw that Princess Ruihua was trying to take sides, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up to defend Shen Nian.
Princess Ruihua's eyes darkened and she looked at Bishui, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Bishui saw that he couldn't escape the beating today, so he knelt on the ground with a plop and then stumbled over the story, avoiding the important points.
After hearing this, Princess Ruihua knew that Yunying had caused a big trouble today. Although she was punished, if Chen Nian really wanted to pursue the matter, they would not be in the right.
But now she is in a dilemma. If she gives in, her dignity as the eldest princess will be destroyed. If she continues to hold Shen Nian accountable, she will not be able to stand her ground.
He could only be strong to the end, "Even if Yun'er is wrong, how can a wild girl from the countryside compare with a princess of noble status?"
When Shen Nian heard Princess Ruihua say this about Xia Tian, her eyes narrowed slightly, her hands in her sleeves clenched suddenly, and her voice without a trace of warmth rang out, "No one is allowed to question my wife's background.
Princess Ruihua and Commandery Lady Yunying are of noble status and may look down on those of poor origin, but this is no reason to beat or kill anyone at will."
Chen Nian was no longer tolerant of her. As soon as she said this, Princess Ruihua knew that something was wrong. She shouldn't have been so angry and talked about other people's background without restraint.
She held a poetry reading today and many students came. Some of them came from poor backgrounds. Even the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy whom she invited came from a farming and scholarly family.
There were many students among the people gathered at this moment. After Shen Nian finished speaking, she saw many people looking at Princess Ruihua with complicated eyes.
Just as Princess Ruihua was in a dilemma and trying to find a way to get down, Ningxue shouted, "Prince, it's bad, the lady has fainted."
Chen Nian just didn't want to get entangled with Princess Ruihua here. When she heard Ningxue calling, she immediately turned around and walked to Xia Tian in a few steps.
As soon as he squatted down to check, he saw Xia Tian secretly winking at him.
Shen Nian paused, then immediately reacted. Without saying anything, he just gave her a princess hug and carried her away.
Before leaving, he turned around and said to Princess Ruihua, "Princess, if Yunying County doesn't give me an explanation for this matter, I will go directly to the emperor to make the decision."
Wen Jin and the other two knew what was going on, but no one exposed it. They packed up and left.
Wen Lan saw Chen Nian leave, bowed to Princess Ruihua, and followed her.
When Princess Ruihua heard what Shen Nian said before she left, her chest heaved with anger.
But the person had already gone far away, so she could only ask someone with a sullen face to put Princess Yunying on the sedan chair and carry her back first.
When the others saw that there was nothing more fun to watch, they left in groups of three or four.
Just now, Xia Tian had been paying attention to Princess Ruihua and Shen Nian.
Listening to the two of them exchanging witty remarks, and Princess Ruihua relying on her status to put pressure on them, she was also afraid that if she continued, Chen Nian would really disregard the hierarchy and say something that would offend Princess Ruihua even more, which would be difficult to resolve. She could only wink at Ningxue and pretend to faint.
As soon as Ningxue saw the look in Madam’s eyes, she understood and immediately cooperated by calling Shen Nian over.
Shen Nian quickly carried Xia Tian and got directly into his own carriage, and asked Mu Chen to drive the carriage back to the city.
My clothes are still wet in the summer, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. I just want to go back early to take a hot shower and change into dry clothes.
Shen Nian was afraid that she would catch a cold if she kept wearing wet clothes in the summer, so she insisted that she change her clothes in the carriage first.
Xia Tian couldn't resist, so she could only call Ning Xue in, let Chen Nian go out first, and let Ning Xue help her change her clothes first.
Ningxue brought two extra sets of clothes with her today when she came to attend the poetry reading, just in case something unexpected happened and she needed to change clothes.
