Gu Mu then realized that the fish that Ma Shishi had used was her cousin Lu Peng, whom she had grown up with since childhood.
Because the two had known each other since childhood, Lu Peng's words carried some weight.
Moreover, Lu Peng was extremely worried that Ma Shishi would be implicated, and he kept defending her.
“Shishi, you used to be even more terrified of insects than you are now. Today, you were able to control your fear better than before because the Princess was there. Thank goodness, the Princess is alright.” Ma Peng said with a pained expression.
Seeing Ma Shishi's infatuation with love was like seeing himself.
If Ma Shishi liked him, he would definitely treat her very well and make her happy.
Lu Peng believed that his sincerity would surely win Ma Shishi's affection for him.
Right now, he just feels heartache, heartache for this young girl who disregarded everything for love...
Ma Shishi looked remorseful and kept crying, which made the young talents who admired her present feel heartbroken.
Ma Shishi sobbed softly, "Cousin, don't defend me. It's my fault. If I hadn't been so afraid of bugs and screamed in fear, the princess wouldn't have gone to look, and she wouldn't have slipped and fallen into the water."
“But fear is a human instinct,” Lu Peng said urgently. “If a person can even control their fear, are they still human? They’re a god!”
Several promising young men chimed in, saying, "It was just an accident. Fortunately, the princess is unharmed and was rescued by His Highness."
Beautiful young girls, who wouldn't want to see them living well?
The princess is alright.
Although the princess is much prettier than Ma Shishi, the princess is like a goddess from heaven, not to be profaned.
Ma Shishi, on the other hand, exudes a friendly charm, making her seem very approachable.
“Although it was an accident and the princess is unharmed, but…” Ma Shishi felt very guilty: “What if the princess catches a cold?”
"Who said it was an accident?" At this moment, Shen Ling lifted the curtain on the carriage.
Through the lifted corner, a slender hand reached out and handed over a sachet.
"Please tell everyone, doctor, what is inside this sachet?"
Shen Ling's voice was very calm.
After she handed over the sachet, she reached her hand back, and the carriage curtains naturally fell down.
Outside the carriage, no one could see what Shen Ling's expression was.
Of course, Gu Mu saw it all clearly.
Shen Ling's expression remained completely unconcerned.
Unlike when dealing with Gu Mu, when she was worried about Gu Mu's safety, her expressionless face would occasionally reveal a subtle tension.
At this moment, Shen Ling's expressionless face showed a completely indifferent attitude.
It's like an ant right in front of you; you don't usually see it unless you pay attention, let alone deliberately step on it.
At this moment, it was just an ant that had crawled to her feet.
The sachet that Shen Ling handed over was wet; it was clearly something she carried with her and had gotten wet when she fell into the water.
Several doctors came to participate in the dragon boat race. After Youyou handed over the sachet, the doctors opened it and looked at the ingredients inside.
A moment later, the doctors said with certainty, "This sachet is full of insect-repelling herbs. It is very effective. With this sachet on your person, there will be no mosquitoes within two meters of you."
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
No mosquitoes will approach within a two-meter radius.
The dragon boat that Shen Ling and Ma Shishi rowed was only half a meter in diameter. Where did the insect that scared Ma Shishi come from?
Ma Shishi was clearly not expected to see this, and her eyes widened suddenly.
If this is classified as an accident, even if she might be imprisoned and suffer some hardship, she will eventually be released.
Although her family's influence in the capital is limited, there are still plenty of fish in the pond!
But if she committed murder intentionally, then what awaits her...?
Ma Shishi was so frightened that she burst into tears.
She didn't want to die! Shen Ling wasn't dead yet, how could she die first!
Despite the wicked thoughts in Ma Shishi's heart, she still maintained a pitiful and endearing expression: "But doctor, if this sachet is really so magical, why did I still see that insect?"
One of the doctors sighed: "I've studied medicine for decades, so I have some experience. The ingredients in this sachet are all insect repellent, and they can produce a synergistic effect, making it extremely effective at repelling insects."
"Moreover, it's not just me; all the other doctors present think so."
The evidence is irrefutable.
Youyou's eyes lit up at this moment, and she quickly said, "There are many mosquitoes this season. The princess didn't want to be bothered by mosquitoes, so she specially carried this sachet with her. It's fortunate that she carried this sachet, otherwise she would have been framed by villains and would not have been able to explain herself."
"I didn't!" Ma Shishi screamed, she was really scared.
Lu Peng hurriedly defended Ma Shishi, saying, "Maybe Shishi is seeing things and is mistaken?"
...
Unlike the disputes outside the carriage.
Shen Ling remained calm.
She simply turned the tables on Ma Shishi.
However, she didn't want Ma Shishi to die so easily, otherwise she would miss out on a lot of fun.
Cats catch mice, isn't it just a cycle of letting the mouse go and then catching it again?
So at this moment, if Mingming Shenling said one more word, Ma Shishi would definitely die.
But she remained silent.
Leisurely watching the wind lift the curtains, lifting them slightly, then letting them fall again, again and again.
"My going out to learn martial arts was kept secret from everyone in the manor." Shen Ling sighed softly. "When I returned to the capital at the age of thirteen, my master instructed me that my martial arts skills must never be known to others. Only when others do not know can they be considered my trump card."
