With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

"Miss, the second young lady is too bullying. Let this servant scold her."

The maidservant beside Mo Shiyin rolled up her sleeves and tried to squeeze into the center of the crowd.

"Someone come here," Mo Shiyin said coldly, "Xue Qing has lost her mind. Block her mouth and tie her up and take her back to the mansion and lock her up in the woodshed. Do not let her out without my order."

Before the maidservant who was following her could respond, Xue Qing looked at Mo Shiyin with tears in her eyes, "Miss, Xue Qing is doing this for your own good. Miss Second is going too far, and Master Li is too outrageous. How could they..."

Xue Qing sounded more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her voice became louder and louder. Many people were already looking in Mo Shiyin's direction.

Mo Shiyin immediately ordered, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

The old women did not dare to disobey their own eldest daughter. They quickly covered Xue Qing's mouth, tied her hands, and dragged her away.

Mo Shiyin finally breathed a sigh of relief after making sure Xue Qing had left.

Thinking back on what happened today, coupled with Xue Qing's contrived performance just now, she realized that everything that happened today was just a scheme.

Her concubine's invitation to her to swim in Sacred Heart Lake was a calculation, her concubine's falling into the water was a calculation, and even Xue Qing's standing up for her was a calculation.

If she had not been more careful and brought a few housekeepers given by her mother, her reputation would have been ruined if she had allowed Xue Qing to make a fuss.

If she showed up at this time, the affairs between Li Lian and Mo Wanwan would become more complicated. If she got involved, the Duke of Yan's Mansion would lose all its reputation in the capital.

"Miss," the maid who stayed behind to accompany her young lady was angry and worried, "It's inconvenient for us to come out at this time, so why don't we go back?"

Mo Shiyin was about to nod when she saw two familiar figures appear not far from her side. One was her future father-in-law Li Yu, and the other was Jiang Minghai, who had a good relationship with her father.

She held the old woman's hand, wanting to see how the two elders were going to resolve today's issues. She straightened the fence and moved to a place with fewer people.

Li Yu listened to the obscene discussions of the people around him, his face turned blue with anger, but Jiang Minghai seemed to be gloating when he saw this.

"Master Li," Jiang Minghai said earnestly, "it seems that Master Li has used all his intelligence to fight with Shan Jun. Your intelligence has not been passed on to Master Li at all."

Li Yu snorted, "How dare you say that? My son is young, only sixteen years old. How could he have seen the evil of human nature?" He looked Jiang Minghai up and down, "Humph, Mei Daru's daughter has a miserable life. She has to marry a short and bald man like you. What sin has this good girl committed?"

"Li Yu, you are going too far by exposing someone's shortcomings,"

"I went too far?" Li Yu was also very angry. "We are colleagues. It would be fine if you didn't help my son find a solution, but you even got mad at me. How could I be so ungrateful if I didn't expose your shortcomings?"

"you,"

[Hahahaha, Tongzi, do you have any melons? Come on, come on.]

This familiar baby voice made Jiang Minghai and Li Yu pause at the same time, and the next second they found the same shock in each other's eyes.

Without saying anything more, they both looked around at the same time and immediately saw the little princess in Luqiao's arms not far away.

After they discovered the little princess, they looked at each other and saw something of the same thing in each other's eyes, and they pointed at each other.

"you also,"

"you also,"

They spoke at the same time, snorted coldly and turned their heads away, not looking at each other.

"Li Yu, the heavens are blind, what virtue and ability do you have?"

Li Yu sneered, "I'm still telling you this. Are you, Jiang Minghai, worthy of that?"

The two looked at each other again, snorted coldly at the same time, and turned their heads to look at the little princess. It was noisy all around, and they could not hear clearly what the little princess was thinking, so they had to hold their breath and concentrate to listen more carefully.

[Of course there is news,] the system voice was very excited, [and it’s a big news. ]

[Li Lian, the eldest son of Minister Li, has just become engaged to Mo Shiyin, the daughter of Duke Yan.]

[Mo Shiyin is a talented woman. Li Lian has never forgotten her since she saw her from afar. It should be said that Li Lian is loyal to Mo Shiyin.]

[Alas, what a pity! Mo Shiyin's concubine sister, Mo Wanwan, is not a good person. She has been secretly having an affair with someone and is already pregnant. She is planning to find a father for her child.]

[Then why did he target Li Lian? ] Xiao Qianqian asked with a frown.

[That's because Mo Wanwan has always liked to snatch things from her elder sister since she was a child. She is so jealous of her elder sister that she wants to trample her into the dust.]

[Mo Wanwan had been planning for this for a long time. First, she could find a father for her unborn child, second, she could snatch her elder sister's husband, and third, she would have plenty of opportunities to make her elder sister uncomfortable after entering the Li Mansion.]

[Tsk tsk tsk,] Xiao Qianqian snorted, [This Mo Wanwan is really scheming.]

Xiao Qianqian looked at Mo Wanwan who was crying to Li Lian. She was completely wet. She did not even put on the clothes given by Li Lian's servant. She just swayed her graceful body and begged for pity from Li Lian.

[What happened next? Do you know Li Lian's original ending? ]

[Alas,] the system sighed, [The Li family is a rare family of loyal ministers. Anyway, Li Yu's brain may have been used to compete with Shan Jun in wits and courage. His brain was not passed on to his sons.]

[Originally, Li Lian had no choice but to marry Mo Wanwan as a concubine. Mo Wanwan not only caused Mo Shiyin to have three miscarriages, but also framed the Li family for treason, causing their entire family to be confiscated and exterminated. How miserable.]

Li Yu...

He was so angry that his lips were trembling and he felt like his chest was bleeding. He just said that his son was useless and that there was no point in having so many sons. He was so angry that he was dying.

Jiang Minghai...

He suddenly felt like a jerk. Why did he have to argue with this old man? "Ahem," Jiang Minghai coughed dryly, "It's okay. With the little princess there, Mo Wanwan can't enter your house."

Mo Shiyin, who was standing not far away...

She vaguely heard Jiang Minghai's words, little princess?

What does it have to do with the little princess whether Mo Wanwan can enter the Li family or not?

For some unknown reason, the crowd became agitated again. Two ordinary-looking girls dressed as maids, about fifteen or sixteen years old, accompanied by four doctors, surrounded Li Lian and Mo Wanwan.

The crowd became even more noisy. At this moment, Lin Wuhui shouted, "The Princess is here. Who dares to make a noise?"

Xiao Qianqian...

[No, my uncle sold me out like this? Oh my, this is too embarrassing. ]

It’s no wonder that Xiao Qianqian felt embarrassed. When the crowd heard the word "Princess", they all fell to their knees.

Li Yu and Jiang Minghai also knelt down immediately. Lin Wuhui raised an eyebrow at Xiao Qianqian with satisfaction and ordered in a deep voice, "Come here, quickly help the girl who fell into the water to feel her pulse. It's cold in autumn and she may catch a cold. If she's not careful, it could be fatal."

Mo Wanwan's face turned even paler when she heard that. She secretly looked up at Lin Wuhui and was startled when she met a pair of teasing eyes.

But, knowing her condition, how could she allow someone to take her pulse?

Just as he was about to refuse, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, "Princess, please help me. I must have been framed by someone for what happened today."
