"Hey, it would be better if it wasn't you..." Wu Ziming sighed. He had never wanted to compete with his direct descendant. His only hope was that his aunt and his sister would be safe and that he would gain a foothold in the court.
He was very worried every time his sister and his son-in-law had a tantrum. After all, he couldn't afford to lose due to his low status, so today it was just a false alarm.
Wu Lixiang glanced at the crowd, then approached Wu Ziming and smiled: "Brother, you might as well ask Wu Sheyue. I think she is the one who most likely did this."
"Wu Sheyue?" Wu Ziming looked up and found that Wu Sheyue was also standing at the outer edge, watching everything with an indifferent expression. Seeing her expression like this, Wu Ziming suddenly felt that it might be her.
Wu Lixiang asked him, "How is it? Do you find it annoying to look at?"
"Are everything you told me before true?" Wu Ziming's eyes narrowed slightly.
Wu Lixiang snorted, "Of course~ You have to help me. Otherwise I won't be able to swallow this breath!"
"Okay." Wu Ziming agreed.
He has always avoided provoking his concubine, but if a concubine who is also a concubine wants to put pressure on their brother and sister, then he is seeking death! Since he dares to bully his sister like this, he will never bear it!

Wu Ziqi was sweating profusely as he struggled. Following Wu Liuyun's shouts, he finally pulled out two long, thin needles.
Wu Ziqi put the needle in front of his eyes. The needle was shining with silver and there was a trace of blood. Everyone felt a chill in their bodies when they looked at it. This is such a cruel attack!
Wu Sheyue raised her eyebrows slightly. She saw that the needle had a small round head, which was similar to a pin. This design should be for the convenience of fixing the position in the cushion. If it hadn't been for the round head, the needle would have completely sunk into the skin. At that time, let alone pulling out the needle through the material of the clothes, it would be light if you take off your pants.
Wu Liuyun really pointed his back. If he wanted to aim both needle points at his knees and pierce them, the chance could be said to be zero. The purpose of this needle should be just to sting people and cause them to panic. It's really an eye-opener for her to win big prizes on both legs.
At this time, the doctor and the maids finally arrived. The two maids came over to help Wu Liuyun up and help arrange his clothes and hair, while Wu Liuyun just focused on crying. She cried not only because of the pain in her knees, but also because of the humiliation of rolling and howling just now.
And she looked even more embarrassed when she stood up like this, with her hair disheveled and her jewelry hanging sideways. The once glamorous person now really looked like a down and out lunatic.
All the men looked away. What kind of woman could look good with snot and tears all over her makeup
Xin Zhi was originally very nervous about Wu Liuyun, after all, she was his dream lover for many years. He was about to reach out to help, but when he saw the runny nose on Wu Liuyun's face, he felt very disgusted and withdrew his hand. This, this is too ugly and disgusting... He doesn't want to touch it.
The snot was quickly wiped away by the maids with handkerchiefs. A strong and rough servant girl squatted down, and the maids supported Wu Liuyun on her body and carried her away.
Many people wiped their sweat. This guest did it. He really saw other people's scandals one after another. It was so embarrassing...
After Wu Liuyun was taken away, Wu Ziqi stood up and looked around, picked up the mat on the ground, put it in his hands and pinched it twice. Then he let go of his hand and saw two needle holes in his hand, and a little blood came out.
The girls exclaimed timidly, "There are actually more?"
"How many needles are there?"
"Oh my god..."
Wu Ziqi held up the mat and asked angrily, "Whose mat does this belong to!" His eyes were fixed on Wu Sheyue's body vaguely, and he seemed to want to eat someone so irritably.
Many people didn't understand why Wu Ziqi asked this question, and they all looked at each other, and Mo Yunsheng said naggingly: "Isn't this Miss Liuyun's mat?"
Jiang Wenwen also nodded, "Yes, Miss Liuyun just broke it off from this mat."
Wu Ziqi looked gloomy and said, "Everyone, Liuyun has sat on his own cushion before, but nothing happened. How come there are so many needles when he comes back! Someone must have changed it."
"this… "
"that's true!"
Xin Zhi frowned as he looked at the mat. At this time, he had many things to ask Wu Ziqi.
Wu Ziqi pondered for a moment, and finally set his eyes on Wu Sheyue, "Wu Sheyue, don't you have anything to say?"
Facing everyone's shocked gazes, Wu Sheyue showed her signature innocent expression again, "Ah? What are you talking about, brother?"
"Are you still pretending not to know?" Wu Ziqi snorted coldly, held the mat in front of Wu Sheyue and asked, "Everyone, including Liu Yun, has sat on the mats from the beginning, so there should be no problem. . But you were not here before, and no one sat on your cushion. I think this needle should have been placed on your cushion!"
Wu Sheyue knew that this was going to end up on her, so she asked, "So the eldest brother is saying that my mat ran over on his own while everyone was not around, and changed places with the eldest sister's mat?"
Although it was inappropriate, many people laughed out loud.
"Ziqi." Xue Yan frowned slightly and called him. Such nonsense without any evidence is really far-fetched. But Wu Ziqi didn't look at Xue Yan and seemed to confirm his conclusion.
Jiang Ying deserved to be the one who knew Wu Ziqi best. She immediately understood something after just a few guesses. He immediately stood up and spoke for Wu Ziqi, "I understand, that is to say, this cushion with needles should belong to Miss Third. Miss Third's seat was unoccupied just now, so no one noticed the cushion. When we all left our seats After leaving, Miss San and Liu Yun’s mats were secretly moved—"
Before Jiang Ying could finish her words, Wu Sheyue also suddenly got angry. She shouted loudly: "Miss Jiang, what do you mean? My eldest sister specially prepared this mat for me, there is no way it has needles! Does Miss Jiang think that eldest sister wants to harm me?"
The way she defended Wu Liuyun was so sincere that everyone present who didn't know the inside story thought she was sincere.
Jiang Ying couldn't bear the blame. She immediately said eagerly: "I didn't say that! Don't frame me!"
Wu Ziqi also scolded her with a cold face: "What are you trying to do! Yingying is just analyzing the facts for everyone."
"Facts?" Wu Sheyue said sadly: "My eldest sister has been framed, how can I not be angry!"
Jiang Ying stared and said, "How could I say that Liu Yun set it off himself! How is that possible? Stop slandering me here, maybe it was you who did it!"
"What good thing have I done?" Wu Sheyue turned around calmly and said to everyone: "Even if my mattress had been prepared with needles and placed here before everyone came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, then I can't change it. , First of all, how do I know that the eldest sister will definitely come to me? If she does not leave her seat and I come over again, it will be me who gets the needle. So, it was not me who put the needle in the first place."
Several people nodded in unison after hearing this, it makes sense.
Wu Ziqi's face turned blue, and he was about to speak, but Wu Sheyue continued: "Even if I can guess that everyone will definitely leave, didn't you just meet me at the gate of Yunshuyuan, and then I will I was always in everyone's sight, so how could I change the mat without anyone noticing. So, it wasn't me who changed the mat later."
What Wu Sheyue said was already very convincing, but Jiang Ying believed in Wu Ziqi, so she refused to give up, "But, but you can use the extra cushions to exchange for Liuyun's while we are gone." ! Then, run over and pretend to meet us again!"
Tian Anran sighed and held her forehead. Her words were too far-fetched... Who would believe it? Mo Yunsheng and others began to silently calculate the distance from here to the entrance of Yunshu Garden.
Wu Sheyue smiled and said, "Even if I run, I still can't catch up. Besides, Miss Jiang seems to insist that I am a bad person."
Wu Ziqi snorted coldly, "This is obvious. Even if it's not you, it might be the person you sent."
Such blunt words were simply not something Wu Ziqi could say. Wu Sheyue suddenly felt funny, "The fifth sister and the little brother are not here either. Otherwise, why don't we call them here to ask? Everyone is here, but they didn't show up at the banquet. They must have a conspiracy. 's~"
Wu Ziqi was furious because Wu Liuyun was injured. He didn't hear Wu Sheyue's sarcasm for a moment, and immediately retorted to her: "There are so many people missing from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Isn't everyone suspicious?"
"Oh, you're right! It turns out that you know this truth, brother." Wu Sheyue sighed exaggeratedly.
"You, you are so presumptuous -" Wu Ziqi finally realized that Wu Sheyue had kidnapped him into the ditch. For a moment, his face turned red with anger and he almost took action.
"Ziqi! What are you doing?" Xue Yan stepped forward, his voice a little stern. He seemed to have made up his mind to side with Wu Sheyue today.
Wu Jinghua snorted, this was another blind person who fell in love with Wu Sheyue. You vixen has so many tricks!
When Mo Yunsheng saw that something was wrong, he also tried to persuade her: "Forget it, Ziqi, it doesn't look like the third lady did it. If you are concerned, you are confused. Let's look for evidence first."
Xin Zhi also patted Wu Ziqi on the shoulder. He didn't want to speak for anyone. He just wanted to give him the final promised thing and he didn't bother to care about anything else.
Wu Ziqi glanced sideways at Xin Zhi and let go of his hand.
"It's a bit strange." Wu Sheyue touched her chin and said curiously: "When something like this happened, the first reaction shouldn't be: Did someone come and hide the needle in the eldest sister's mat while everyone was leaving? But why did the eldest brother But you insist on changing the mat? Even if you change it, there should be another one that is exactly the same." (To be continued)
