Several people were frightened by this sudden change and their faces changed drastically.

"You, don't come over here!"

The mean woman was frightened and stepped back.

Several people were already by the lake. The mean woman was frightened and retreated hastily. Without paying attention, she fell straight into the lake.

This is not the key point. The key point is that when she fell into the water, she instinctively grabbed the people around her, and then Liang Yulan and another woman were pulled into the water by her.

"Ah! Help!"

"Gululu, help, help!"

"Help!"

The three of them splashed around in the lake.

When Tinghe Courtyard was chosen as the courtyard for receiving the young ladies, the possibility of falling into the water was considered. Therefore, maids and servants who could float on water were specially assigned to guard the surroundings of the lake.

So, as soon as the three people fell into the water, the maids and old women who were guarding nearby quickly came over and pulled them out.

The series of unexpected events frightened Yun Shu so much that her face turned pale and she was stunned. She didn't react for a long time.

Until Liang Yulan's maid came over crying and asked Yun Shu: "Fifth Miss, is there a place for our young lady to change clothes?"

Yun Shu then led the person to the specially prepared lounge in a state of panic. This was also a place prepared in advance.

Looking at the people who left in a hurry, Ruhua looked at her own county lady with tears in her eyes: "County lady, we are in big trouble this time."

She saw it all. Several maids escorted the young ladies who had fallen into the water to change their clothes, and two maids ran out of the courtyard. Needless to say, they definitely went to complain to their elders.

Of the four young ladies who came to cause trouble, three fell into the water. The remaining one was so frightened that she was standing there motionless, but when her county mistress raised her hand and made a slapping gesture, she immediately ran away with the young ladies who fell into the water.

Their county lady is about to become famous right after arriving in the capital!

The Princess of Anyang County snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "It's just a fall into the water? It's just a matter of changing clothes. It's not as harmful as a slap in the face! No, remember, you have to slap them in the face later!"

Ruhua was really about to cry this time: "County Lady, please take back your magical powers. Will you let this servant live?"

This is the capital!

They had just arrived and had no one to rely on.

Although their county lady is of noble status, she is an orphan after all. If something really happens, who will take charge of their county lady?

Although General Yang said that he would take care of it if anything happened, how could distant water quench immediate thirst?

When that time comes, who can the county lady rely on? Is it possible that she should rely on the current emperor?

So much time has passed, does the current emperor still remember who their county lady is?

Oh! I want to cry!

I shouldn't have come to the banquet today! If I had come to the banquet, I should have brought Nanny Zhou with me. At least the county lady would listen to Nanny Zhou's words.

She, Tingqin and the other three had always listened to the county lady. When had the county lady ever listened to them?

Alas, I still want to cry!

Here, Ruhua was in tears and secretly sent someone to send a message back to the county lady's mansion, hoping that Nanny Zhou could think of a way to resolve the matter.

Over there, Yun Shu took Liang Yulan, the daughter of the Left Vice-Chief Censor of the Censorate (the mean woman Wang Xueyao), and the daughter of the prefect of Jingzhou (Liu Ruowei), and took a detour to the locker room.

The dressing room is actually in the side room of the east wing, not far from the main hall where guests are received.

After they entered the ear room, they could still vaguely hear the noise coming from the main hall.

As soon as they entered the room, Wang Xueyao pushed Yun Shu hard and asked angrily, "This place is so close to the main hall and not far from the lake, why did you take us on a detour? Did you deliberately want us to catch a cold? You have such a vicious heart!"

Yun Shu shook her head in panic, "I didn't, I really didn't. Yes, it was my sister-in-law who said..."

"Sister-in-law?" Wang Xueyao's face was gloomy. "The young marquis's mother, Madam Zhang? Did she tell you to do this? Great! You in the entire marquis's mansion have bad intentions, don't you?"

"No, no. We don't have any bad plans. We are, we want to..." Yun Shu was so anxious that tears came to her eyes, and she didn't say her words clearly.

Liu Ruowei also retorted: "How dare you say you don't have bad intentions? You were clearly standing with Xie Huan just now! How dare you say you two are not in the same group?"

Liang Yulan, who had been silent, also spoke up: "Fifth Miss, Xie Huan is a guest, and so are the rest of us. As the host, shouldn't you treat us all equally? Why are you favoring her over us?"

Liang Yulan's tone was not harsh, but the meaning of her words had already confirmed the accusation that Yun Shu was unfair and biased in her treatment of others.

Faced with the aggressive attitude of several people, Yun Shu was completely panicked and at a loss. At this moment, she could not utter a word of rebuttal except crying and shaking her head.

While they were talking, the maid who had hurried to get a change of clothes came back with clothes for them.

February followed in as well.

After Liang Yulan and others got their clothes, they quickly went behind the screen to change.

Er Yue looked at Yun Shu, whose eyes were red and whose expression was in dismay. She had heard what Liang Yulan and the others had said to Yun Shu.

As soon as the incident happened by the lake, she rushed over and followed them until they entered the ear room.

She was originally going to follow him into the house, but ended up staying outside the door.

The lady had told her in advance that today was a good opportunity and that she should try to let Miss Yunshu spend more time alone with other people and let her deal with various emergencies on her own as much as possible.

Whether you can break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly depends on now.

Although she and Chunyu both felt that the Madam's actions were too radical, they still complied with her for Miss Yunshu's sake.

So, she had been listening outside the door and never went in to help Miss Yunshu out.

She didn't go into the house until someone came to deliver clothes.

But seeing Yun Shu looking haggard and at a loss, Er Yue couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

He immediately stood outside the screen and said to the people inside: "Ladies, my Fifth Miss did not deliberately take a detour. My wife asked the Fifth Miss to bring you all here by a detour, all out of good intentions."

Before Er Yue finished speaking, Wang Xueyao's harsh voice came to her mind: "Good intentions? Ha, do you think we are all fools? You're going through so much trouble, are you afraid that we won't get sick?"

Er Yue frowned slightly and raised her voice to ask, "No need to take a detour. Do you ladies want to pass by the main hall door and let all the ladies in the capital see your miserable appearance covered in water? Or do you want to add some topics for the ladies in the capital to talk about after dinner? Or do you ladies want others to see your graceful figures?"

Spring clothes are thin and light, and when I came out of the water, the clothes were wet and stuck to my body, which made it hard not to show off my curves. Of course, the prerequisite is that I have curves.

After hearing this, Wang Xueyao became so angry that her face turned red, but she had no words to refute.

Liu Ruowei didn't say anything else, but she gritted her teeth in hatred.

As the county lady, Xie Huan was supposed to be arrogant and difficult to deal with. But Yun Shu was just a little concubine's daughter, so why should she watch them make a fool of themselves?

I wanted to vent my anger on her, but I didn't expect that she was a soft persimmon, while the maid beside her was a tough one. A few words made her speechless.

Liang Yulan spoke up at this time, "Thank you for the kindness of the Marquis' Mansion. It was us who misunderstood your mansion. I am here to apologize to Miss Fifth on behalf of Miss Wang and Miss Liu. Please forgive Miss Fifth."

The gentle voice and polite words made everything disappear into thin air.

What a flexible and adaptable orchid in the valley! She is not a good person at all!

Er Yue only felt her eyelids twitching, and a sense of uneasiness inexplicably arose in her heart.

Compared to people like Miss Liang, she suddenly felt that the Fifth Miss in their family, who was innocent but harmless even though she had nothing to show for it, didn't seem so difficult to accept.
