Yu Dong, who was standing on the periphery, heard the scream and reacted quickly, moving to the side and just happened to avoid it.
Two people slid past her, one pulling the other, and both of them fell heavily from above, with the same "plop" and "plop" sounds coming from below.
Princess Xiangrong's hand was still stretched out, her eyes a little dull, just now Liu Jingyu and her maid slipped past her and then fell out together.
"Someone, come and save them!" Princess Xiangrong withdrew her hand, no longer daring to stay there, and turned around to walk downstairs.
There is nothing to see from up here, and you can't go over to look. When did this platform become so slippery
If one slide is a coincidence, what about if two slides
What Princess Xiangrong was thinking about right now was to take everyone away from here, so that no one else would fall down.
Princess Xiangrong went down to direct the rescue. The others did not dare to stay any longer and followed one by one. Qu Moying was still the last one to walk. When she reached the stairs, she looked at the maid from the Princess's mansion, then held Yuchun's hand and slowly walked down.
When the maid fell into the water before, someone was already trying to rescue her. When they finally rescued her and were pulling her to the lakeside, two more people fell from above. People were heard calling out "Jingyu County Lady", and more maids and old women jumped in.
After a while, both of them were rescued.
Princess Xiangrong had someone prepare a blanket and wrapped Liu Jingyu in it.
Liu Jingyu was rescued as soon as she fell into the water. She was much better off than the maid who fell into the water before and is still unconscious.
"Lord Jingyu, how are you?" Princess Xiangrong hurried forward and asked, still in shock.
"Who just pushed me?" Liu Jingyu said in hatred, her pretty face showing an uncontrollable ferocity, her hair dripping wetly and falling into the water, her face ashen.
"Someone pushed you just now?" Princess Xiangrong asked in surprise, her eyes sweeping over the young ladies around her. There were also such people around them just now, right
It was such a mess that no one could remember who was there at the time, and no one could remember who pushed it.
"Maybe I remembered it wrongly? There were too many people at that time, so it might have been an accidental collision." Princess Xiangrong said again.
Liu Jingyu almost gritted her teeth as she looked at those young ladies. She vaguely remembered that it was these few girls. Originally, she just subconsciously looked at the screaming maid, but suddenly she felt a hard push on the vest, and her body was involuntarily bumped out, and one of her feet was squeezed onto the platform.
Haitang, the maid beside her, also reacted quickly and grabbed her, but she was sliding out too fast and she couldn't be held back for a while, and finally both of them fell into the lake together.
"Someone did it on purpose." Liu Jingyu said hatefully, his sinister eyes blocked the ladies and looked at them one by one.
Many people were shocked by her undisguised coldness, and looked at the Jingyu County Lord who used to be gentle and decent in astonishment. Was she really a different person
"County Lady!" Haitang noticed that everyone's expressions were not right, and hurriedly pulled Liu Jingyu's sleeve.
Liu Jingyu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, knowing that this was not the time to be angry.
"Princess, is there a place to change clothes?"
"Yes, go change your clothes quickly and come back to investigate this matter." Princess Xiangrong said hurriedly, while ordering the maid behind her to take Liu Jingyu to change clothes.
As for the maid in his own house, she was also treated and has now recovered.
But after he recovered, he was still trembling. It seemed that he was still shaking.
Nothing could be asked, and Princess Xiangrong was taken away to change her clothes.
"Princess!" Qu Moying stepped forward and bowed to Princess Xiangrong, "May I have a word with you?"
Princess Xiangrong hesitated for a moment, but nodded, took Qu Moying away from the crowd, and sat down in a pavilion nearby.
"What's the matter, Miss Qu Si?"
"Princess Xiangrong, is there anyone trying to harm me today?" Qu Moying looked at Princess Xiangrong calmly.
"Someone is trying to harm you, what does that mean?" Princess Xiangrong said unhappily.
"Just now when I was up there, the maid smashed the teacup in front of me, smashing the cakes and teacup all over the floor. Then she told me to go to the platform. If I had gone to the platform, I would have fallen down. I don't know why the platform in the mansion is so greasy."
Qu Moying said: "I deliberately stayed aside just to see the reactions of the crowd and to see who framed me like this."
She spoke very frankly and looked composed. Although her figure was a little thinner than that of an average young lady, she was very dignified. Facing Princess Xiangrong, she showed no intention of retreating or concealing anything.
"Who did you find?" Princess Xiangrong frowned tightly. She actually had some doubts just now, which was why she took the ladies in the attic away.
If there really is something up there, anyone who goes up there could get into trouble.
People keep falling down one after another, and in the same place. I'm afraid there are quite a few people who are suspicious now.
The incident happened in one's own house, so everyone would think it was related to one's family!
"I don't know. The cause of this incident was the broken teacup. As for what happened afterwards, I couldn't get in touch with them for a while, so I wanted to talk to the princess about it. Maybe the princess could find something unusual." Qu Moying said lightly.
Her voice was very low, without even a trace of anger, and had a daughter's gentleness. But to Princess Xiangrong's ears, it sounded like thunder. She stared at Qu Moying in a daze, her mind pounding with thoughts about the teacup.
She was also surprised that Liu Jingyu took out tea today, but she didn't take it to heart. Although it was a bit against the rules, the relationship between the two of them has always been good. This bit of against the rules was just to make everyone happy, and it was not too out of line, so she asked someone to make another cup of tea and send it out.
But Liu Jingyu has never been so competitive.
After going upstairs, she could sense that Liu Jingyu had some intention of dealing with this Fourth Miss Qu. Although Princess Xiangrong had her doubts when it came to the jade fan, Liu Jingyu had handled it very well at that time, so Princess Xiangrong didn't care that much.
But just now upstairs, Princess Xiangrong clearly heard that Liu Jingyu was a little out of control in his words.
So, Liu Jingyu really does not like Qu Moying. It can make Liu Jingyu lose control and show it. This dislike has not been going on for just one or two days, right
If it was Liu Jingyu, some things would make sense.
Liu Jingyu and I have a pretty good relationship. We used to visit each other and come here quite often. The maids in my house are also familiar with the people around Liu Jingyu. If I want to do something secretly, it shouldn't be that difficult, right
One thing, everything. Princess Xiangrong was sensitive to the abnormality of Liu Jingyu today. When she sat down before, she originally took Liu Jingyu to sit on the window sill where the water fell, but Liu Jingyu said that she wanted to talk to her quietly, so she chose a quieter place, which was a little far away from the window sill where the water fell, and therefore the two of them did not get splashed with water. What happened
nor.
After the two of them sat there, they were actually not quiet. The ladies still gathered around them, chatting and talking one by one. The so-called quietness was simply impossible.
Princess Xiangrong is the host again today, so it is impossible for her to really hide away and leave alone with Liu Jingyu. Liu Jingyu must understand the meaning behind this.
Since it is impossible to be really quiet, the reasons given before are much more far-fetched and seem more like an excuse.
"Princess, you can interrogate your maids here. The maid at the stairs just now used a chair to lead my maid away. If something happened to me at that time, my maid would not be able to stop me. The chair would be pulled to the stairs. Even if someone heard the noise and came over, they would not be able to help in time."
Qu Moying said again.
Princess Xiangrong was silent. She understood the meaning of this. Her family could not escape the responsibility. After a long while, she nodded to Qu Moying and said, "Miss Qu Si, please wait a moment. I will be back soon."
She still needs to ask about this matter clearly.
Qu Moying nodded with a smile, watched Princess Xiangrong leave, and sat down at the fence on the side.
"Miss, Miss Yan is here." Yu Dong looked outside the pavilion and saw Yan Yujiao coming towards him hesitantly, so he hurriedly reminded Qu Moying.
"She won't come." Qu Moying shook his head.
Yu Dong didn't believe it. Seeing Yan Yujiao approaching, he was about to remind his young lady again, but he saw that this young lady Yan turned around and left when she got close to the pavilion. He was very surprised for a moment.
"Miss, Miss Yan left again!"
"It's inconvenient for her to say anything to me at this time." Qu Moying's eyes swept across Yan Yujiao's back and said slowly.
She has now become the key to the matter. If Yan Yujiao wants to be safe, she should stay away from her. Thinking of Yan Yujiao's expression just now, the corners of his lips curled silently. Liu Jingyu probably never thought that it would be her who fell into the water today, not himself...
"What's going on?" Zhao Qingxuan asked a servant who came over. There was quite a noise over there just now. When the first person fell into the water, it alarmed him on the upper floor. He specially sent someone to check it out. Zhao Qingxuan knew that his sister was going to host a banquet here today.
However, he just saw two people fall into the water together. They were far away and he didn't know who they were. This series of people falling into the water did not seem to be a good thing.
Zhao Qingxuan was really worried about his sister, so he specially asked someone to check what happened.
"It is said that Lady Jingyu fell into the lake." The servant ran in a hurry, sweat broke out on his forehead. After wiping the sweat with his sleeve, he reported back, panting.
Pei Luoan, who was sitting there placing chess pieces, paused for a moment, then slowly picked up a chess piece and placed it calmly. This was an endgame, and he wanted to place it out for Zhao Qingxuan to crack.
"How did he fall?" Zhao Qingxuan glanced at Pei Luoan and his expression became heavy, knowing that the Crown Prince had just heard the truth.
"I don't know the details, but it seems that County Lord Jingyu wanted to go forward to check, and accidentally slipped down. A maid pulled her up, but she failed to hold her, and both of them fell down. Fortunately, there were people trying to rescue people below, and they immediately rescued County Lord Jingyu. She was just a little frightened, but nothing else happened."
The servant was smart, and when he heard that it was Lady Jingyu County, he knew that the mansion would ask about the cause, so he explained the whole process. Of course, the reason was also given by the government, saying that Lady Jingyu County fell down accidentally.
