The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

Fang Ruoruo is now extremely grateful that Princess Jiamin is a person who gets angry at the slightest provocation.

More importantly, Jiamin has been praised too highly since she was a child, and she has no clear awareness of her own simple-mindedness. She only thinks that she is very powerful, which is why she is so easily used by Fang Ruoruo.

How could Hongyu have come up with this plan to damage a woman's reputation?

It was clearly decided by Fang Ruoruo long ago, but she just said it through Hongyu's mouth in order not to destroy her image of innocence and kindness in Princess Jiamin's heart.

This is also the experience that Fang Ruoruo learned from the previous assassination incident -

Before, when she hired a killer to kill Shi Lidie, no matter how careful she was, there were always omissions.

If a flaw is left accidentally, it would be equivalent to handing the handle to Shi Lidie.

Since she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't make any mistakes, why did she do it herself? Princess Jiamin, isn't it just a very useful knife? It's not impossible to use the trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife!

By then, if things succeed, Shi Lidie will be ruined.

Even if it fails, the investigation can only lead to Princess Jiamin. Given Jiamin's personality, if she is really discovered, she will definitely not implicate Fang Ruoruo.

After all, it was she who forced Fang Ruoruo to fight back!

Fang Ruoruo is just an innocent, kind-hearted girl who can't bear to harm Shi Lidie!

***

The coming-of-age ceremony of the eldest daughter of the Earl of Gaochang was held in a grand manner.

After all, it is the Earl's Mansion, a noble family, so it has some face.

What's more, the Earl of Gaochang also has connections in the palace -

Gao Changbo's biological sister was a favorite concubine of the previous emperor. However, after entering the palace, this favorite concubine was gentle and virtuous. She never competed for favor, respected the queen, and even saved the queen's life once. From then on, she and the queen became like sisters.

After the death of the previous emperor, the current emperor ascended the throne. The former queen became the empress dowager, and Gao Changbo's sister was also named the concubine dowager.

Now, all the other concubines have gone to the temporary palace to live as widows, and only Gao Changbo's sister can stay in the palace to keep the empress dowager company and is respected by the current emperor.

Based on this, everyone was willing to give face to Gao Changbo for the sake of his status as the imperial concubine in the palace.

For a girl, Jigui means she has reached adulthood and can get engaged and married. This Jigui ceremony is not only a coming-of-age ceremony for young ladies, but also an occasion for ladies from different families to meet their sons and daughters-in-law.

Shi Lidie stood among the crowd watching the ceremony, watching with great interest.

It was the first time for her to see such an authentic ancient coming-of-age ceremony. When she read novels before, she could only imagine the words, which was far less shocking than seeing it with her own eyes.

The daughter of the Imperial Censor's family saw Shi Lidie's expression and thought she was envious, so she said:

"There is no need for County Lady Yun'an to be envious. Although this coming-of-age ceremony looks grand, it is not considered the highest standard in the capital. If the County Lady holds a coming-of-age ceremony in the future, it will surely be even more lively than today."

After hearing this, Shi Lidie turned around and gave the other person an awkward but polite smile:

"Thanks for the comfort, but I'm sixteen."

The age of jigui is fifteen.

The daughter of the Imperial Censor was embarrassed for a moment, but she tried to make amends:

"I'm really sorry that I couldn't attend the county lady's coming-of-age ceremony. I only regret that I didn't get to know the county lady earlier and missed her big day."

Shi Lidie: ...

Chen Shuting on the side: …

Why does this girl feel like she's missing something? She's clearly trying to make up for it, but why does it sound so sarcastic?

Chen Shuting couldn't bear it any longer, and said to the Imperial Censor's daughter:

"Miss Qi, where Princess Yun'an grew up, there was no such thing as a coming-of-age ceremony."

This is a euphemism.

What Chen Shuting really wanted to express was:

For people who grew up in rural areas, it is already very good to live safely until the age of fifteen. For them, fifteen years old is just an ordinary birthday.

Those who have the means and are loved by their parents can have an extra meal and a good one. Those who don’t have the means can just live their life as usual.

The Imperial Censor's Daughter, Miss Qi: ...

She blushed, smiled awkwardly, and slowly moved away. She was no longer ashamed to stand with County Lady Yun'an.

After this episode, Shi Lidie continued to watch the ceremony.

After about half an hour, the coming-of-age ceremony was over and the host invited the guests to take their seats in the back garden.

Shi Lidie and Chen Shuting came to the table hand in hand and sat with a few good friends.

It’s more comfortable to eat with familiar people.

Sure enough, while the other tables were still exchanging witty remarks and smiling at each other, the girls at Shi Lidie's table had already started eating with relish.

The girls all had small appetites and, adhering to the principle of not talking while eating or sleeping, they finished their meal in a short while.

At this time, a group of maids came over with trays in their hands, and the leading maid said:

"This is the dessert after the meal. It was made by our eldest daughter herself. Please enjoy it, guests."

As she spoke, a maid brought the bowls on a tray to them.

When it was Shi Lidie's turn, perhaps because the maid's hands were shaking or she didn't stand steadily, her body suddenly tilted and the bowl in her hand fell down and landed directly on Shi Lidie's skirt.

Shi Lidie looked at the large mass of unknown things on her clothes, and the veins on her forehead jumped:

Her new dress!!!

"I deserve to die, please forgive me, Princess!" The maid immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Shi Lidie.

The bowl broke into pieces on the ground, and the maid knelt on it. Soon, bright red blood oozed from her knees.

Seeing this, Shi Lidie quickly pulled the man up:

"Alright, alright, I don't blame you, stop knocking."

"Then I'll take you to change your clothes." said the maid.

"Your knee is injured, go and take care of it quickly and find someone else to take care of me." Shi Lidie said considerately.

Then the maid pointed at another person and asked her to lead Shi Lidie:

"Xiaozhi, take the county lady to the warm room. There is a dressing room specially prepared for female relatives."

So, Xiaozhi led Shi Lidie towards the warm room. Wen Tan, the bodyguard and personal maid, followed Shi Lidie diligently and never left her side.

That’s right, Shi Lidie also brought Wen Tan to this banquet.

His Majesty has given me this person, so of course I have to use him. Shi Lidie cares very much about her life.

When the three of them were halfway there, a maid suddenly rushed out from the corner and bumped into Wen Tan, then fell heavily to the ground and sprained her foot. The maid said to Wen Tan:

"Sister, my foot is injured and I can't walk. Could you please help me to the room?"

Wen Tan looked at Shi Lidie, seemingly seeking advice.

Shi Lidie looked at this scene and couldn't help but tilt her head and frown:

Why does it feel so familiar?

Based on her experience as a bookworm for more than ten years, isn’t this a classic scene in many domestic fighting novels?

Her clothes got dirty → she sent her maid away → she was taken to a remote house → she shared a room with a strange man → she was seen by people who happened to rush over → her reputation was damaged → everyone despised her → she died to show her determination.

Okay, the case is solved. This wave of attacks was not an accident, but was specifically targeted at her.
