The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

"I didn't push Late Summer."

Lin Qianqian said calmly, her eyes were unusually firm, she looked at Cheng Jiayao: "Give me a reason to hurt her."

Cheng Jiayao laughed, "Oh, Aunt Lin, are you joking?"

"You want to harm Wanxia, ​​and you still need me to find excuses for you? Besides, this is something that happened between you and Wanxia, ​​what does it have to do with me?"

"The wife of the prince still knows that it's none of your business?" Lin Qianqian glanced at Cheng Jiayao, and seeing the frozen expression on her face, she sneered, "Wanxia wasn't the only one who fell into the water. Why, Wanxia's life is life, and mine is not life?"

Cheng Jiayao froze for a moment.

"I didn't say that."

Lin Qianqian imitated Cheng Jiayao's gentle tone when talking to Xi Ni just now and said, "Of course I know that the Crown Prince's wife is not such a biased person. Crown Prince's wife, please make the decision for me and make sure to find the murderer who caused me to fall into the water."

Cheng Jiayao's face looked extremely ugly.

If it was really Wanxia who harmed Lin Qianqian, she would investigate the matter thoroughly.

Wouldn't that help this bitch and make her more favored by the prince?

"Mrs. Lin, you are joking. You have the protection of the prince. Who would dare to harm you?"

"It's Wanxia who is the pitiful one, living alone in the mansion without a father or a mother."

"Who said no one harmed Qianqian?"

"No one hurt her! How could she fall into the water for no reason!"

Gu Huai's angry and blunt words left Cheng Jiayao speechless.

She stood there in amazement.

Cheng Jiayao's heart suddenly surged with anger. As expected of a concubine, he was devoted to her, which made people hate him so much!

Lin Qianqian thought to herself that she really didn't want to harm Wanxia or the heroine.

The harsh oppression of women in the old society was enough. As a modern woman, she watched costume dramas and read history books, and she only felt sympathy and distress for the girls of that era.

And now, in such an environment, she has become one of them.

She became a small salted fish in this whirlpool. The huge waves were about to tear her into pieces, and she couldn't even create a tiny wave.

When she thought that she had to rely on the prince's protection to survive, she missed modern society so much.

I can't wait to finish this book now.

Lin Qianqian, the cannon fodder female supporting role in the book, is arrogant and domineering because of the prince's favor. She always gives the handle to others, which deepens the prince's bad impression of her time and time again.

The two quarreled more and more, leading to a breakup.

The prince finally had three wives and four concubines, and the heroine was his housekeeper and took care of the backyard, so he lived a life like a god.

Lin Qianqian simply couldn't accept the thought of her tragic death.

She wants to live.

Cheng Jiayao reached out to push the hair behind her ears and said, "However, Liu Ye witnessed Aunt Lin pushing Wan Xia into the lake with her own eyes. Prince, this is an ironclad fact."

"Liu Ye, are you really telling the truth? Not a single word of falsehood?"

When Cheng Jiayao spoke to Liu Ye, she was actually reminding Gu Huai.

Liu Ye nodded, her face lowered, "I dare not tell a single lie."

"It was Aunt Lin who pushed Aunt Wan into the water."

Gu Huai was so angry that he clenched his fists at his waist, raised them high to his face, and then smashed them hard into the air.

"How could Qianqian harm Wanxia!"

"It was because of late summer that we had such a big fight!"

Cheng Jiayao asked, "Oh? Why did the prince quarrel with Aunt Lin?"

It must be that Lin Qianqian can't tolerate Wanxia.

She wants to be alone for the rest of her life. There is no room for Wanxia, ​​nor for her.

Gu Huai got angry when he talked about this. He glared at Lin Qianqian and said, "She actually wanted Wanxia to stay in the mansion. Not only did she want me to accept you, she also wanted me to accept her!"

Cheng Jiayao was stunned.

How come she doesn't know about this?

Cheng Jiayao felt a burning pain on her face, as if she had been slapped in the face.

She turned her head and looked at Liu Ye. Liu Ye shuddered and wished she could bury her head in the soil.

She wanted to gain merit from the Crown Prince's wife and please her, so she only said things that the Crown Prince's wife liked to hear.

Some of the words were exaggerated, but they were also true. For example, Aunt Lin's mahogany comb accidentally fell off the table and broke into two pieces.

She really wanted the Crown Prince's wife to ask her to come to Ziyunxuan to serve her.

Wanxia looked at Lin Qianqian in surprise.

How... how is it possible?

Why would Aunt Lin keep me in the mansion? Didn't she say that she couldn't tolerate anyone? Did she just want to drive me away, or even kill me?

Wanxia gave Cheng Jiayao a puzzled look, but was afraid of exposing the fact that they had a private connection, so she quickly lowered her head.

Cheng Jiayao's expression changed for a rare moment, then returned to his previous calm state, "My Lord, I know you favor Aunt Lin. But according to what Liu Ye said just now, it was Aunt Lin who pushed Wan Xia into the water."

"This is a serious matter that could have endangered someone's life. Fortunately, Wan Xia is not seriously injured. However, Wan Xia almost lost her life!"

"Prince, please handle this matter." Cheng Jiayao knelt down and bowed to Gu Huai.

Naked pressure.

Gu Huai felt depressed and irritated, and was furious.

He stared at Cheng Jiayao and asked, "What do you want me to do? Who do you want me to do? We don't even know why Qianqian fell into the water. Who do you want me to do? How do I do it?"

Cheng Jiayao said softly, "Liu Ye has proved that Aunt Lin jumped down by herself, and Wan Xia was pushed down by Aunt Lin."

"Prince, please seek justice."

"Ha!" Gu Huai sneered, "I think Qianqian was the one who was killed. Wanxia jumped down by herself!"

"Prince. How can you say that? If you say that, people will think you can't tell right from wrong and confuse right and wrong. If it gets out, it will damage your reputation." Cheng Jiayao covered her mouth with a handkerchief, pretending to be very worried about Gu Huai.

"Reputation? What reputation do I have?"

"My reputation is already rotten, and I don't care at all."

Gu Huai had a stern face and didn't care at all.

Cheng Jiayao twisted the handkerchief in her hand, her long nails digging into her flesh. He actually didn't care about his own reputation.

She added, "If this gets out, it might not be good for the Marquis's Mansion or the Marquis."

"My Lord, please seek justice."

Lin Qianqian looked at everything in front of her coldly.

Wan Xia knelt down hurriedly, hugged Gu Huai's legs, kowtowed and begged, "Prince! Prince! It was really Aunt Lin who pushed me into the water! Please help me!"

Gu Huai didn't bother to look at Wan Xia. Instead, he raised his hand and kicked her to the ground.

"Where did you come from, you lowly bastard, to come and hug me, not even afraid of getting my clothes dirty!"

Cheng Jiayao was shocked.

Lin Qianqian was also surprised.

She suddenly thought of Master Bao in Dream of the Red Chamber, who was usually very kind to the maids and had a mild temper. He also kicked Xiren beside him in the heart.

Gu Huai is a fool, but he is not without temper.

After all, he was the son of a marquis, and his status was very precious. How could a concubine, who was one level higher than him, be bullied by him?

"What are you guys arguing about?" An angry voice came from behind.

When everyone looked back, they found that it was Pingyang Hou. Cheng Jiayao, Gu Huai and a group of servants and maids hurriedly saluted him.

Wanxia kowtowed quickly, and Lin Qianqian maintained a weak posture, only lowering her head and bowing slightly.

Pingyang Hou was dressed in a dark brown uniform today. He was tall and sturdy, with a pair of bright and sharp eyes, which made him look angry without any sense of authority.

After Cheng Jiayao took the initiative to explain, he said, "My maid Que'er told me earlier that she was collecting flower dew by the lake and saw something interesting. So this is it."

"Hahaha..." A string of silver bell-like laughter was heard. The beautiful maid Que'er beside him covered her mouth and laughed for a while before speaking.

"I came to the plum forest by the lake early in the morning to collect dew and brew new tea for the Marquis. I saw the young concubine of the Crown Prince's wife jump into the lake on her own initiative, shouting, 'Madam Lin, why are you pushing me? Help! Madam Lin wants to kill me!' She didn't panic at all after falling into the water, but jumped around so lively. This young concubine of the Crown Prince should be able to swim, right?"

Que'er's words awakened Gu Huai.

He looked at Wanxia and found her face even more hateful. "Yes, Qianqian was shivering after soaking in the cold lake water. She was very weak. Look at Wanxia now. She is really energetic, as if nothing happened. What's the big deal for a person who can swim to fall into the water?"

Cheng Jiayao's usually calm expression cracked into two cracks.

Her right thumb was clasped tightly around her wrist in her sleeve.

Wan Xia was terrified, she knelt down and kowtowed, "My Lord! My Lord! It was really not me who framed Aunt Lin, it was Aunt Lin who harmed me, she was the one who pushed me into the water!"

Liu Ye also knelt down beside him. She couldn't help crying and defending herself, "My Lord! I really saw with my own eyes that it was Aunt Lin who pushed Aunt Wan into the water. I didn't lie, I didn't!"

Que'er was a maid in the Marquis's room. She turned her clever head and smiled, "You didn't lie? Did I lie?"

"I saw it clearly and heard it clearly. That night, Auntie came up and mocked Auntie Lin in a veiled manner, saying that she was a lowly woman from a brothel, saying that she bullied the wife of the prince and now bullied her. Auntie Lin was almost pushed into the lake, and then Auntie Wan jumped into the lake herself. Does jumping in first prove that she is the victim?"

"And this Liu Ye, she must be someone from Aunt Lin's courtyard. I saw them clearly in the woods by the lake, there were only the two of them. May I ask where you were at the time? What were you doing? Why didn't you save them when you saw them?"

Liu Ye was embarrassed and hesitated for a long time, "I...I..."

Que'er laughed, "Now, the whole story is clear. I have seen everything in the mansion. Usually, the favored concubines are killed. Even if the favored concubines do nothing, the jealous people will not tolerate it and will not tolerate it."

The Marquis nodded to Que'er, "Yeah, not bad."

After receiving the praise from the Marquis, Que'er smiled even more happily. She leaned her head into the Marquis's arms, and then, realizing that there were many people present, she quickly stood up.

Now, the truth is revealed.

What Que'er said matched what Lin Qianqian said.

Only Liu Ye was speechless at this time.

Cheng Jiayao asked Liu Ye with a sullen face, "Liu Ye, did you see Aunt Wan push Aunt Lin into the water? What were you doing at the time? Where did you see it?"

Willow Leaf knocked her head to the ground, "I... I was watering the flowerbed..."

"Isn't it Miss Rong who is watering the flower garden today?" a servant asked.

Another girl lowered her head and said, "I ran into Liu Ye in the toilet. At that time, I heard someone shouting, "Oh no! Someone fell into the water! Liu Ye was also in the toilet."

Liu Ye's face suddenly turned pale.

"It turns out that Liu Ye lied and gave false testimony."

The Marquis glanced at Gu Huai suddenly and scolded him, "You can't even manage the women in your courtyard? If you can't even handle this little household chores, how are you going to enter the government and serve His Majesty?"

Gu Huai lowered his head and said humbly, "Yes, father."

"Let's go and take a look at the garden in front." The Marquis took Que'er away.

Gu Huai looked at Wanxia coldly, "Wanxia, ​​you actually framed Qianqian, what else do you have to say?"

Wan Xia shuddered and quickly knelt down, "This servant, this servant really knows that I was wrong! I beg you to have mercy on me, please don't kick me out of the house! I can do anything! If all else fails, let me be a fire-making maid!"

"Oh, okay, Liu Ye, you are from Qianqian Courtyard, how dare you lie and frame your master?"

Liu Ye kowtowed again, bright red blood flowing out and staining her forehead, "I was wrong! I was really wrong! Prince! Prince! Please! Please punish me! I won't dare to do it again!"

Gu Huai asked sternly, "Tell me! Why did you want to frame Qianqian? How could Qianqian treat you badly? How could you raise such a traitorous bastard!"

"I! I know I was wrong!" Liu Ye cried out of breath, "Mrs. Lin didn't treat me badly, it was my greed that blinded me."

Liu Ye crawled to Lin Qianqian and begged, "Aunt Lin, please, please say a word for me, for the sake of my past service to you."

Lin Qianqian didn't say anything and let Gu Huai hold her shoulders.

Liu Ye crawled to Cheng Jiayao again, grabbed the edge of her skirt and begged, "Madam, please, please, please be magnanimous and say something good for me!"

"I……"

Cheng Jiayao kicked Liu Ye away, as if she was afraid of getting tainted by something. She wailed, "What do you want me to say for you?"

"It has come to this. How could a little girl like you, Liu Ye, do such a thing as to frame your master? It is truly chilling! I feel so sad for Aunt Lin."

Cheng Jiayao said to Lin Qianqian, "Aunt Lin, I'm sorry. I believed Liu Ye's words before and almost wrongly accused you."

She was not admitting defeat to Lin Qianqian.

If she still insists on her previous wrong views, she, as the Crown Prince's wife, will definitely not be able to convince the people in the Marquis' Mansion.

Lin Qianqian said softly, "Thank you, Madam, for helping me find the real culprit. Madam is really as smart and astute as the outside world says."

Cheng Jiayao forced out a stiff smile, "It's really sad that something like this happened. Aunt Lin, you must take good care of yourself."

Lin Qianqian nodded.

When it comes to putting on a good show in front of people, she still has a long way to go. She must learn from masters like the heroine Yu.

In the original text, Que'er, the maidservant beside the marquis, had the habit of picking plum dew by the lake.

Que'er was lively and naughty, and was deeply loved by the Marquis, so he was taken in early. The relationship between Yu and the Marquis had faded a few years ago. Although she was the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, Que'er's words were not much less important than hers. In short, the Marquis listened carefully to what she said.

Gu Huai pointed at Wan Xia angrily, "Wan Xia, go back to where you came from!"

"As for Liu Ye, give her forty lashes and drive her out of the house!"

"No! My Lord! Please, forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again!" Wan Xia knelt down and cried.

"My Lord! My Lord! I really didn't mean to frame Aunt Lin!" Liu Ye burst into tears, "I was really wrong! My Lord!"
