"Who fell into the river?" Zhao Xiran asked in disbelief after hearing what the maid said.

Banquets like this are basically well guarded, and it is unlikely that something like this will happen.

"Yes...it's the fourth young lady of your house!" The maid was a little embarrassed. After all, the two people in front of her were also from the Xingguo Hou Mansion. Their young ladies came to their house as guests, and something like this happened. Who do you think? Not happy either.

"Why did the fourth sister fall into the river because she was so angry?" Shao Wanru asked softly. Shao Cailing was not a particularly noisy person. She would not fall into the river anyway, and there was a maid following her.

"This servant doesn't know. I was not there at the time!" The maid in Wen Xiang's Mansion lowered her head.

Seeing that the maid couldn't ask anything, Zhao Xiran and Shao Wanru hurriedly followed the maid back. What they passed was not the banquet, but the previous flower hall. However, there were not many people in the flower hall, only Mrs. Wen Xiang, Mrs. Tai, and Shao Cailing. Here with Gu Xishu.

Shao Cailing was crying, Gu Xishu was also wiping her tears, and the atmosphere in the flower hall was solemn.

Zhao Xiran and Shao Wanru came over and first saluted Mrs. Wen, then Mrs. Wen Xiang, and were led to sit aside.

After they all sat down, the wife asked: "Fourth girl, are you telling the truth?"

"Grandma, I don't dare to lie to you. It was really Miss Gu who invited me there. That place was also the place where we played together when we were children, so I went there, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect that she would lead me there and take me there. Push her into the water!" Shao Cailing raised her red and swollen eyes, pointed at Gu Xishu and said angrily.

"Not many people know about that place, and they invited me to go there. How could it not be Miss Gu! Miss Gu, do you want to ruin my reputation?"

Shao Cailing couldn't hold back the thought of attending a banquet without incident, but unexpectedly suffered a disaster. Fortunately, there was no one else around at the time, otherwise her reputation would have been lost.

Recently, the house has been talking about honors and honors. Her mother warned her again and again not to lose her honors. Shao Cailing always kept this in mind.

"Fourth Miss, I really didn't push you. I did invite you here, but didn't I leave for a while because of something? I really don't know about you falling into the water, and I don't know who it is. You pushed me, how could you accuse me without seeing anyone? If it was really me who wanted to harm you, why did I personally come forward to invite you over!"

Gu Ximei was also crying, explaining while crying.

"Who knows if you are just spreading suspicion? When you were young, you followed the elder sisters, blindly being cunning and doing things that others didn't know about." Shao Cailing shouted angrily when she saw that Gu Ximei still refused to admit it.

Although her clothes had been changed and her hair had been stirred, she still looked wet, and her face was pale and pale from the cold, which was extremely pitiful.

The madam coughed and her face darkened. Shao Yanru would always be her pride, and there was no telling what the future would be.

Zhao Xiran saw the look on Mrs. Tai's face with sharp eyes, reached out to hold Shao Cailing's hand, and comforted her in a low voice: "Fourth sister, please don't say anything yet. Explain the situation clearly, and Mrs. Wen Xiang will definitely give us a home." Accounted for!"

Her hand was filled with warmth, and she took Shao Cailing's hand. Shao Cailing immediately felt a hint of warmth, and tears fell one by one.

I felt more and more wronged and almost choked with sobs.

"Sister-in-law, it was really Miss Gu who harmed me..."

"Okay, okay, I know, we listen to grandma!" Zhao Xiran comforted her and turned back to see the madam.

The Dowager coughed again and pushed the matter to the Prime Minister, "Mrs. Wen, look at this..."

"Xishu, where were you at that time? When something happened to Miss Shao Si?" Mrs. Wenxiang asked with a stern face as she turned to look at Gu Ximei, who was also crying with her face full of tears.

"Auntie, I was with the maids at the time. If you don't believe me, ask them. It wasn't just one or two maids. After I had something to do, I walked away for a while and then came back. What happened to Miss Shao Si? I didn't encounter it at all during this period. Miss Shao Si, how could I harm her!" Gu Xishu also cried out.

Shao Cailing refused to accept her excuse: "You are in your own house, it is not easy for someone to do it, so why do you need to do it yourself!"

"Fourth Miss, I really don't have one!" Gu Xishu cried again.

This matter is unclear. One person said it had nothing to do with her, and someone else proved that she was not present at the time. Another person said that even if she was not present, it was her plan because this was Wen Xiang's Mansion and Gu Xishu had the advantage.

Mrs. Wenxiang and the guests outside wanted to entertain, but she really was not in the mood to pay attention to the affairs of these little girls, so she made a decisive decision on the spot: "Xishu expressed her humility to the Fourth Miss, whether you have recommended the Fourth Miss or not, you have made an appointment before. Damn it, it was you who was wrong in the first place!"

"Aunt?" Gu Ximei looked at Mrs. Wen Xiang in disbelief and said.

Although she was a cousin in Wen Xiang's Mansion, Mrs. Wen Xiang did not have any other daughters. Looking at her reminded her of her delicate and frail little daughter in the past, but all her love for daughters was devoted to her. Basically, he will not wrong her, and even if something happens, he will stand by her side.

Now to ask her to admit that she did not do it, and to ask her to confess to Shao Cailing in front of so many people, is really a slap in the face to her. If the news gets out in the future, she will be asked to behave accordingly.

"You still haven't apologized. We are guests from afar. You didn't entertain the guests well, and you just took care of your own business after asking someone out. That's just wrong!" Mrs. Wen Xiang's face was very cold, with a bit of irritation. Looking at Gu Xishu.

Even though she doted on Gu Xishu in the past, she also knew that if this matter was not resolved in this way, it would become an even bigger issue, and it would definitely not be of any benefit to Gu Xishu.

Seeing that Mrs. Wen Xiang was angry, Gu Ximei had no choice but to apologize to Shao Cailing while crying. After apologizing, she covered her face and ran out crying.

"Mrs. Madam, I will still investigate this matter, but in any case, the cause of this matter is something wrong in our house. I will send a generous gift to your house in a while to make the Fourth Miss acquitted!" Mrs. Wen Xiang ignored her and ran away crying. Gu Xishu, who was going out, smiled bitterly at Mrs. Tai and said, "I'm the one who used her to become such a careless person."

Shao Wanru raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Wenxiang. Up to now, Mrs. Wenxiang has not acknowledged the Shao Cailing recommended by Gu Xishu, but only admitted a crime of mistake.

Although Shao Cailing was frightened, nothing really happened. The lady couldn't be polite and unforgiving. She nodded immediately and considered the matter over.

But Shao Cailing's current appearance made it inconvenient to stay any longer. Shao Wanru offered to send Shao Cailing back, leaving Zhao Xiran to accompany the wife.

.

The madam nodded to this plan. No matter what, Zhao Xiran was the new daughter-in-law, so she could not come to Prime Minister Wen’s Mansion and leave without even having a meal. What would the ladies and ladies in the house who were close friends with Zhao Shangshu’s Mansion think? Just now, the wife and young lady from Zhao Shangshu's house also came.

Shao Wanru accompanied Shao Cailing on the carriage of Xingguohou Mansion. The carriage turned out of the gate of Prime Minister Wen's Mansion, then turned another corner and arrived in front of Xingguohou Mansion.

Shao Cailing kept shivering, and her overall condition was not good. Although she had changed her clothes, she must have been cold.

Accompanying Shao Cailing all the way to the third room, the third wife heard that something had happened to Shao Cailing, so she stood up and looked at Shao Cailing. When she saw her lying in the quilt, she was shivering, and she burst into tears for a while.

She only had two daughters, and accidents happened one after another, and the situation of the third wife was not good at the moment. The more the third wife thought about it, the more sad she became, and she almost fainted.

After Shao Wanru comforted her for a few words, he advised her to rest. The third lady's health was indeed in poor condition, and her previous fainting was not completely fake.

Seeing that Shao Wanru sincerely advised her to rest, the third lady expressed her gratitude while wiping her tears, and then was helped down by the servants.

Shao Wanru did not return to Piaoyun Courtyard. After having someone make brown sugar and ginger soup for Shao Cailing, she helped Shao Cailing drink it and then stood guard.

Shao Cailing slept for a long time. When the madam returned home and sent someone to check, she was still awake. After hearing that Shao Wanru had been staying here, the madam was quite satisfied and asked someone to give her some food. With the medicinal materials coming over, Shao Cailing can only do this now.

In the past, Mrs. Tai would have had some confidence to ask Wen Xiang's Mansion for the real reason. Now, Xingguo Hou's Mansion is weak and the Emperor's green eyes are not available. Let alone Wen Xiang's Mansion, even if it is the residence of other important ministers, Xingguo Hou's Mansion will also collide. Sorry.

Thinking that a little cousin from Wen Xiang's house actually dared to harm her own granddaughter, the wife couldn't swallow her anger.

But what if you can’t swallow it? There is no point in being more serious. Madam Tai is the best at weighing gains and losses. With this thought, she forced herself to hold back her breath. After having a banquet at the Prime Minister Wen's Mansion, she excused herself because she was worried about Shao Cailing's return.

When Shao Cailing woke up, it was already late. Before she even opened her eyes, she heard a gentle voice coming from her ear: "Fourth sister is awake. How do you feel?"

Even though spring has begun, the weather today is much warmer, but it is still cold in nature. If you fall into the water, it will be a lifelong cold disease. This is why Shao Wanru must have made Shao Cailing drink brown sugar and ginger soup before letting her sleep. s reason.

"Thank you, fifth sister!" Shao Cailing's voice was hoarse, but sincere.

The maid helped her sit up, and Shao Wanru placed a cushion behind her. He stretched out his hand to feel her pulse and found that it was quite gentle. Then he put down her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, fourth sister, it's nothing serious." It’s over!”

Only when Shao Wanru said this, Shao Cailing breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Shao Wanru suddenly hesitated to speak, she waved her hands after thinking about it. The people serving in her room immediately retreated, leaving only one confidant. maid.

"Fifth sister, Gu Xishu is really not a good person. I...let me tell you something..." Shao Cailing stuttered, but still said the words.
