She came to Shangjing with great difficulty just to become Pei Jin's legal wife. She dared to stay in the Marquis' Mansion because she knew Pei Jin was a trustworthy and grateful person. Besides, she had a trump card in her hand that no one knew about. As long as she came to Shangjing, she was not afraid that he would not marry her.

It was drizzling, and the world was vast. Luo Qingqing gritted her teeth and held her breath, pondering the depth of the lotus pond, when she suddenly heard footsteps not far away, strong and powerful.

She had followed her father who practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she had developed a good ear over the years in the dangerous northern border. She immediately recognized that it was a man's footsteps. Who else could come to this garden? She secretly raised a smile on her lips, God help me.

This time she must seize this good opportunity. She doesn't want Pei Jin to have such a beautiful and delicate little concubine by his side. No matter whether she is favored now or not, she is a threat. As long as she is eliminated, the little baby will be easy to deal with. If he has a fever, he will die quietly.

"Miss Chanyi, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have come to see you without permission. I made you unhappy. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She changed her strategy and squatted down to apologize to Su Chanyi. "It's all because I didn't teach Biyu and the others well. Please forgive us."

Chan Yi was a little surprised when she heard her say this suddenly. Did she take the wrong medicine? How could she change so suddenly?

"Miss Chanyi, this is my golden hairpin. I give it to you as an apology. Please forgive us." Luo Qingqing hurriedly took off the golden hairpin on her head and was about to stuff it into Chanyi's hand. When she saw that Chanyi refused to take it, she began to sob and tears streamed down her face.

An'er became more and more anxious because of her crying. He started crying loudly instead of crying quietly.

"Baby, it's all your aunt's fault. Let me hug you." Luo Qingqing staggered over while crying softly.

Chan Yi hugged the crying An'er tightly and hid behind Zhou's mother cautiously. Is this woman crazy? Why is she acting so much?

"Mom, there's something wrong with my cousin." Chan Yi reminded Mother Zhou in a low voice, and stepped back with the child in her arms.

Mother Zhou blocked Luo Qingqing's way like a hen protecting her chicks.

"Miss Chanyi, please forgive me." Luo Qingqing approached step by step, and in a flash she passed Mother Zhou and stood in front of Su Chanyi with a strange smile in her eyes.

Before Chan Yi had time to think, Luo Qingqing nimbly leaped in front of her, grabbed her right hand that was protecting An'er, lowered her upper body, and slapped herself in the face twice.

This series of actions was quick and smooth, and was completed in one go, leaving Su Canyi completely unable to resist.

When Mother Zhou turned around, she heard Biyu jumping up and down and yelling, "You slut, you dare to hit our young lady? We will fight you!"

"Miss Chan Yi, you hit me...you hit me...I just wanted to hug the baby," Luo Qingqing immediately covered her face and screamed, "How dare you slap me, I..."

As she spoke, she ran quickly to the end of the corridor.

"Miss……"

"Miss……"

Jasper and Coral also rushed towards her quickly.

With a "plop" sound and accompanied by the screams of two maids, Luo Qingqing climbed over the railing and jumped into the overflowing lotus pond.

"Help, help! Our young lady can't swim! Our young lady can't swim." Jasper and Coral shouted loudly.

Chan Yi and Zhou's mother looked at each other in surprise.

So crazy! This woman! A woman who is cruel to herself must be even crueler to others! What a terrible opponent, she turned defeat into victory in an instant. Su Chanyi, Su Chanyi, you underestimated her.

Just as Su Chanyi's mind was racing, she saw Pei Jin walking around the corner of the corridor. He was wearing a purple robe, looked tired, and looked coldly in their direction, with a group of people following behind him.

At this time, two women ran out from somewhere and quickly jumped into the lotus pond to save people.

For a moment, Mother Zhou stared at the other end with her mouth wide open, unable to utter a word.

The moment Su Chanyi saw Pei Jin, all the hairs on her body stood up. So that's why Luo Qingqing changed her strategy so quickly. She directed and acted out this good play of being humiliated by her and jumping into the river for Pei Jin to see. It was a trick to kill two birds with one stone.

If Pei Jin had jumped into the water to save her just now, her position as the Crown Prince's wife would have been secure. What a pity, Luo Qingqing, you must not have expected that there was a woman who could swim in the garden.

Pei Jin turned around and walked away with the group of people with a stern look on his face, without saying a word. Chan Yi didn't know how much he had seen or heard, and she didn't know whether he would believe this poor performance.

"Chan Yi, what should we do? If she dies, we both won't be able to escape responsibility!" Mother Zhou, who had just been frightened, finally came to her senses.

"No, Mom, she can't die. How can she bear to die?" Su Chanyi calmed down, hugged An'er, whose voice was a little hoarse from crying, and whispered, "Mom, don't panic, I'm here."

She looked up and Pei Jin had disappeared from her sight. After a while, the two women who had just jumped into the lotus pond swam to the shore exhausted with Luo Qingqing, holding her and walking towards the east courtyard.

"She should be okay, right?" Mother Zhou was still a little worried.

"Don't be afraid, Mom. We are upright. Why should we be afraid of what she might do?" Su Chanyi said in a low voice, "You go first. If the prince asks, just tell the truth."

She limped into the house holding the still crying baby, and coaxed An'er distressedly: "An'er, be good, mother is bad, using little An'er to deal with the bad woman."

She held An'er and sat on the edge of the bed, coaxing him softly and feeding him milk. The child gradually fell asleep crying.

In the east courtyard, the doctor of the Liu Mansion said to Madam Hou, "Madam, my cousin is not seriously injured. Fortunately, she was rescued in time. She has a good body. She just drank a few sips of water. After drinking the soup and taking away the cold, she will be fine after resting for two days."

After sending off the doctor from Liu Mansion, Wang looked at Mother Zhou solemnly: "How could such a thing happen when everything was fine? If it weren't for the two female secret guards in the garden who knew how to use water, someone would have died!"

"Ma'am, please don't be angry." Mother Zhou told the story one by one. As for the slapping in the face, she just lightly touched on it, saying that it might be a misunderstanding. How could Chan Yi suddenly hit someone while holding the baby?

"Mother Zhou, you don't have to protect Chan Yi. Go and take a look at the red handprint on your cousin's face." Wang said in a low voice, "I'm afraid this matter can't be resolved peacefully. How could Chan Yi do such a thing? She's not an impulsive person."

"Madam, I just..." Madam Zhou blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, Chan Yi would not hit anyone."

The crying of Coral and Jasper came from the inner room.

"Miss, you are so pitiful. Even a maid can humiliate you."

"Miss, Miss, please wake up quickly. If you don't wake up, I will not live either."

"Woooo..."

The bursts of crying are annoying.

"Madam, what does the prince mean?" Mother Zhou asked cautiously.

"Hey, Shenzhi must have had a sudden headache due to overwork, and the imperial physician is treating him." Madam Wang looked at Madam Zhou worriedly and said, "It's really a case of when it rains but it leaks. The imperial physician and several of his men came back with Shenzhi just now. They all saw what happened just now. If I don't punish Chanyi, I'm afraid this matter will never be easily uncovered."
