"Yes, Madam Jiang really knows how to stir up trouble. Originally, the young master could have gone down to save Miss Hua Rong, but now that he has saved her, Miss Hua Rong has lost her reputation."
"Oh dear, don't say that. You don't know, do you? The marriage between the Li family and the Prince Jing's mansion was canceled a long time ago."
"Oh, I really didn't know that."
Jiang Yuwei glanced at everyone present, snorted coldly, and said:
"I have no idea how the Minister's family educates their young lady. This Miss Hua Rong is truly a vicious person. Just now, I sat by the lake with my maid to get some fresh air."
As Jiang Yuwei spoke, she glanced at Princess Qinglan sitting at the table.
"I didn't expect that Miss Hua Rong and Princess Qing Lan would come over and, after only a few words, reach out to push me. I dodged her, but then she fell into the lake herself."
Jiang Yuwei scoffed.
As the saying goes, karma is a cycle, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven; those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves.
"No way, how could Miss Hua Rong, who always looks so gentle and weak, do something like this?"
"Yes, no wonder the prince broke off the engagement with her."
"Good heavens, I even went to the Li family to ask for my son's hand in marriage, but luckily they have high standards and didn't think much of my family."
"In that case, your family has escaped a disaster."
Princess Qi's face darkened as she listened to the crowd's discussion, and she said coldly:
"I believe Hua Rong isn't the kind of person who makes trouble unreasonably. If she had no grudge against you, why would she push you?"
Jiang Yuwei glanced sideways at Princess Qi and said indifferently:
"It seems that Princess Qi understands her niece well. She knows that it was indeed her who pushed me. No matter what the reason, it was wrong of her to push someone."
"Ah, I never expected Miss Hua Rong to be this kind of person."
"I think Madam Jiang is right. No matter what, you shouldn't push people."
"That Miss Hua Rong is really wicked."
Princess Qi's face darkened further at this moment.
“Madam Jiang, don’t make things up here. I never said that Hua Rong pushed you. Didn’t Princess Qinglan just say that you went down to save Hua Rong? Hua Rong and I are so grateful to you. How could Hua Rong push you?”
Jiang Yuwei smiled and waved her hand, saying:
"That's right. I'm not that kind-hearted. I wouldn't jump in to save someone after being pushed. Just now, Princess Qinglan pushed me into the water when I turned around to call for help."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Princess Qinglan. Everyone was puzzled as to why Li Huarong pushed Jiang Yuwei, but it seemed perfectly reasonable for Princess Qinglan to push Jiang Yuwei.
After all, everyone knows that at the Empress's birthday banquet that day, Qinglan was determined to marry Ning Huaizhi, but the couple refused the Empress Dowager because they were of one mind.
If Jiang Yuwei were to die in this lake today, wouldn't that be exactly what Princess Qinglan wanted? In that case, it would make sense for her to push her.
Seeing everyone staring at her, Princess Qinglan panicked and said:
"How could I possibly push you, Madam Jiang? I think you're just talking nonsense because you were frightened after falling into the water."
As she spoke, Qinglan waved to the people behind her.
"Someone, quickly take Madam Jiang back to her residence, and fetch a doctor to examine her properly, lest she suffer any lasting effects."
As soon as Princess Qinglan finished speaking, several servants behind her rushed up to forcibly help Jiang Yuwei down.
"Get out of here, all of you!"
Ning Zixuan entered from outside, coldly staring at the servant rushing towards him and growling.
The servants all knew that this was the young master, and naturally they couldn't afford to offend him. Now, Ning Zixuan's murderous aura made them even more afraid to step forward.
“Our Prince Jing’s mansion has carriages and physicians, so there’s no need for Princess Qinglan to worry about Madam Jiang’s affairs. Just don’t resort to underhanded tactics next time.”
Princess Qinglan blushed deeply upon hearing Ning Zixuan's words, and stammered:
"Your Highness, what are you saying? You believe everything Madam Jiang says? What is your relationship with her? When Hua Rong fell into the water, you didn't save her, but instead saved Madam Jiang first. You..."
"I'll say it again, I've already broken off my engagement with Li Huarong. As for my relationship with Madam Jiang, there's no need for me to explain it to you."
As he spoke, Ning Zixuan looked at the Empress and bowed.
“Your Majesty, it seems that someone at this banquet has ulterior motives. As for how you wish to deal with this person, I cannot say for sure. Right now, Madam Jiang and I have both fallen into the water and are feeling unwell. We would like to return to our residence first. I hope Your Majesty will not take offense.”
Upon hearing this, the Empress slightly turned her head and glared at Princess Qinglan, then waved to Ning Zixuan and said:
"Alright, take Madam Jiang back to the manor first and find a doctor to examine her properly, so that she doesn't catch a cold again."
Ning Zixuan and Jiang Yuwei bowed to the Empress and then left.
After the two returned to the Prince's residence, Ning Zixuan looked Jiang Yuwei up and down.
"Are you alright? Should I call a doctor for you?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and shook her head.
"No need, you've forgotten that I am a doctor myself. However, I still want to thank the young master for helping me out of this predicament today."
Ning Zixuan waved his hand and said:
"It was nothing, no need to thank me. Just stay away from those two in the future."
Jiang Yuwei nodded.
"Okay, I understand. I'll head back to the hospital now."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei took Xia Yue back to her courtyard.
As soon as I lay down inside, I heard the maid rush in and shout:
"Oh no! Madam Xu has miscarried! Madam Jiang, you must go and see her quickly!"
Jiang Yuwei frowned and got up.
"What's all the noise about? Have you called a doctor yet?"
"Yes, yes, the doctor just left. People from Aunt Xu's courtyard went to the Princess's courtyard to ask someone to say that Miss Lianyao caused Aunt Xu to miscarry. The Princess doesn't want to get involved in this, so she asked you to go and take a look."
Jiang Yuwei waved her hand and said:
"I understand. I'll go check on it when I have some free time. You can go back now."
With that, Jiang Yuwei lay back down on the bed. Xu Qianqian had just miscarried, and she didn't want to get involved in that bad luck. She'd let them make a scene for a while, and then she'd finish them off once things calmed down.
When Madam Sun heard the news that Xu Qianqian had miscarried because of being pushed by Miss Lianyao, she was naturally very happy. She didn't stay idle and went straight to Xu Qianqian's courtyard.
Upon entering, I saw Xu Qianqian lying on the bed with bloodshot eyes, a pale face, and an overall air of weakness.
Madam Sun hurriedly took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe her eyes, then walked to Xu Qianqian's bedside, pulled up a chair and sat down, choking back tears as she said:
"Little sister, how could you be so careless and fall into Lianyao's trap!"
