After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

It was only a few hundred steps from Chunhejingming to Heming Pavilion. When she went out to look for Qin Junyu last night, she had already reached the destination without walking much. But today, Nian Susu felt that the road was several kilometers long and she could not see the end no matter how far she walked.

Her steps were heavy and her body was tired. Halfway through her walk, she wanted to turn around and go back to sleep.

Adhering to the good quality of being here since she was already here, she still persevered and reached the finish line - Heming Pavilion.

Heming Pavilion is a pavilion built on a covered bridge. The Juyuan River under the bridge is connected in all directions and runs through the entire Juxiang Garden. The water flows slowly and the water is clear to the bottom.

Many girls had gathered in the pavilion, chattering away.

When Nian Susu walked onto the corridor bridge, the girls in the pavilion saw her and began to push their companions and exchange information with each other, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

In just a few seconds, the sound in Heming Pavilion suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at her, and their eyes were not friendly. Some even had obvious hatred in them.

Zhihua sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so she stepped forward to hold her arm and asked in a low voice: "Miss, why are they all staring at you? And winking and glaring at you? How rude!"

Nian Susu was also confused. Their attitude towards her changed drastically overnight. It was impossible to say that nothing had happened.

Could it be that she was seen with Qin Junyu last night?

Thinking of this possibility, she began to feel uneasy, but she remained calm and walked into the pavilion.

Wang Yuejiao stood in the most conspicuous position, with several lackeys supporting her behind and on both sides, all looking at Nian Susu with mockery and disdain.

The other girls did not stand with them, but they also stood in groups of three or four.

There was only Li Yaoyuan, who was standing alone at the edge, with a unhappy look on her face.

Nian Susu found a seat and sat down.

She was already feeling unwell, and now she was so tired that she didn't even want to talk, so as long as there was no dog biting her, she wouldn't take the initiative to provoke the dog.

Li Yaoyuan didn't care about what those people thought. She walked through the middle and came to Nian Susu.

A smile finally appeared on her face. "Miss Nian, are you okay? I thought you had caught a cold yesterday, and seeing you today, I am more certain."

She held her arm affectionately, "Have you taken your medicine?"

Nian Susu didn't understand why Li Yaoyuan was acting like she was very close to him.

She has already been talked about, and Li Yaoyuan's actions will only implicate herself.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Yaoyuan continued to talk to herself, "I will definitely ask a doctor to take a good look at you when I return home tomorrow. Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. I'm afraid you will suffer for a while."

The malicious looks around not only did not decrease, but became even stronger.

"When did Miss Li become so close to her? Could it be that they had known each other for a long time?"

"Birds of a feather flock together. I don't think Miss Li is a good person. You can only look at her face but not her heart."

"We have to stay away from them in the future. They are so scheming, and we never know when they will be tricked."

They spoke very quietly, but Nian Susu still managed to catch some of the words and roughly pieced together the meaning of their conversation.

So what is going on?

Nian Susu's gaze fell lightly on Wang Yuejiao. She said nothing, and there was no emotion in her eyes, but Wang Yuejiao didn't dare to look at her because she felt guilty.

She was certain in her heart: There was something wrong with Wang Yuejiao.

"Miss Li, do you know what's going on?" She asked Li Yaoyuan in a low voice.

Li Yaoyuan's face changed immediately, and she bit her lip and refused to speak.

"Miss Li, although I don't know what bad things they said about me, I know you believe me, right?" Nian Susu held her hand.

Li Yaoyuan couldn't bear it and looked at her with embarrassment.

"If you consider me a friend, you can tell me what happened so that I can clear it up for myself, right?"

Li Yaoyuan was persuaded and told him everything she heard this morning.

After just a few words, Nian Susu's mood fluctuated greatly.

Wang Yuejiao said that she was seen having a secret meeting with a man on the rooftop of Heming Pavilion last night. The two of them were leaning on each other and were very close.

She was so frightened that her heart was in her throat.

If word gets out that she has an affair with the prince, then all the previous rumors will surely be brought up again, and white will be turned into black, and false will be turned into true, and they will never be cleared even if they jump into the Yellow River.

Wang Yuejiao also said that although it was dark at the time, she was able to clearly see her face while hiding behind the rockery, and it was definitely a "young girl."

She was so worried that she even wanted to beat Wang Yuejiao up.

As expected, it is lonely at the top. She shouldn't have gone to the roof.

Wang Yuejiao finally said that although she didn't see the man's face, the flute was played by a man, so it must be the second prince without a doubt.

When Nian Susu heard Li Yaoyuan say the three words "Second Prince", he felt like laughing.

She recalled the year of apricot blossoms and drizzle, when Gualiu wanted to expose Concubine Xi's affair, but it turned out that the adulterer was "Imperial Doctor Wen".

Unexpectedly, such a dramatic scene happened to her.

Li Yaoyuan was so angry that she thought they were talking nonsense.

She lowered her voice even more and whispered in Nian Susu's ear: "Miss Wang must be holding a grudge against you and wants to avenge yesterday, so she made up these words to frame you."

"What's even more hateful is that they actually believed it!" This is what made Li Yaoyuan most angry.

They knew clearly that Wang Yuejiao was not a good person, but they still pointed fingers at Nian Susu based on just a few words from her.

Li Yaoyuan felt a tightness in her chest. She wanted to curse but felt that her offensive power was not strong enough and it was difficult to express her feelings.

Nian Susu shook his head. "They don't care about the truth. They are just fence-sitters who are easily swayed by the wind and are used as tools by others."

"I can't stop them from saying anything. As long as they don't act like a slut in front of me, I'll turn a blind eye and avoid making themselves unhappy. But if they dare to dance under my nose, I'll make her face hurt quickly."

Li Yaoyuan was amused, "Miss Nian, you talk really interestingly."

Originally, she was the one who comforted Nian Susu, but now it was Nian Susu who comforted herself.

It's nice to be living in peace like this, but some people just can't bear to see them happy and have to say something nosy.

A lackey beside Wang Yuejiao rushed to Nian Susu and said sarcastically, "Miss Nian looks like she has caught a cold. Was she wearing too little when she had a secret meeting with the Second Prince last night?"

The girls immediately burst into laughter, not caring about their image.

She deliberately wore less clothing to seduce the second prince, but ended up catching a cold.

Nian Susu would laugh when he heard this.

Li Yaoyuan reminded her that this was a girl from the Lin family, who was good friends with Wang Yuejiao and the two families were close, so Miss Lin's behavior was the same as Wang Yuejiao's.

“Cough, cough, cough…” She covered her nose and coughed a few times, then waved her handkerchief in front of her and glanced at Miss Lin with disdain, “I’m sorry, Miss Lin, your breath smells so bad that it choked me.”
