Now, when he heard that Zhu Xianyue was about to die, Lian Li was unwilling to pay any attention to him and just left after saying a few perfunctory words.
Just when he was in a bad mood, he was bumped into by a disheveled woman.
At first, Ye Mucheng thought that this woman was here to "blackmail" him, to slander him and destroy his innocence, and to force him to take her into his room.
Ye Mucheng was annoyed but also somewhat relieved - his charm never diminished, attracting these women to come one after another and use all means just to be by his side and bear children for him.
It wasn't until Shudie raised her head and her bloody face was exposed in front of Ye Mucheng that Ye Mucheng's face fell.
“…Why is it you?”
"Why can't it be me...? Lord, please save me... Minister Lin's youngest daughter wants to accuse me of pushing her maid into the water, and she even scratched my face on purpose. Please help me..."
She put all the blame on Lin Miaoyi.
The wicked are the first to complain.
Minister Lin is a favorite of the current emperor.
But Ye Mucheng is the Marquis of Chang'an.
The official position of Marquis Chang'an was much higher than that of the Minister of Rites.
Although Ye Mucheng's title is hereditary and he has not achieved anything since taking the position, he can still share some of the glory of his ancestors.
After all, reincarnation is a technical job.
only……
Ye Muqing was no fool. He and Shudie, a tortoise and a turtle, knew each other's true character.
Ye Mucheng knew with just a little thought that it was Shudie who started the trouble this time.
only……
He had finally had a child, and he couldn't let the child's biological mother have a reputation as a vicious person.
"Shudie, you'd better behave yourself. If you do it again, the moment the child is born, you'll be dead!"
"I understand..."
Shudie felt relieved.
Although Ye Mucheng's tone was unhappy, what he meant was that he would help her for the sake of the child.
She used the excuse of feeling unwell to return to the mansion first.
On the way back, she comforted herself,
Even though his face was scratched, he finally managed to trick Lin Miaoyi——
If Lin Miaoyi's maid fell into the water, she would definitely go down to rescue her because she is willing to help others.
Just from their conversation, Shudie learned that the maid could not swim, but Lin Miaoyi could swim.
If she didn't jump to save her maid, she would be branded as "cold-blooded" and others would think that she could watch someone close to her die.
If she jumped... that would be even better.
Such a big commotion will definitely attract a lot of people to join in the fun.
If any of these men saw Lin Miaoyi's wet body, her reputation would be ruined.
…
Banquet after the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Shudie’s guess was correct.
Lin Miaoyi did jump down to save her maid.
But the maid's feet were entangled in the water plants and she couldn't get out for a while.
The maid pushed Lin Miaoyi away and signaled her to leave. She didn't want her daughter to die here too.
Lin Miaoyi refused.
During the argument, both girls had lost much strength.
Just at this moment, a man jumped into the water and rescued them both.
After getting ashore, Lin Miaoyi only felt a warm cloak falling on her, hiding her embarrassment.
She raised her eyes and saw...the wife of the Marquis of Chang'an, Zhu Xianyue?
"Sister, sister?"
Because of Zhu Tingzhou's relationship, Lin Miaoyi is also concerned about Zhu Xianyue's recent situation.
When I learned that she was terminally ill, I felt panic and worry.
It’s a pity that I’m still young, and if I marry... ahem, marry that guy, I won’t have the right to see Zhu Xianyue, the woman in the secluded house.
