Qin Ran tilted her head to glance at them, and seeing that the Crown Prince and Bai Yaoyao were paying attention to the zither player, she picked up a plate of lotus cake and walked towards Bai Youyou.

The sound of the piano was melodious, and the prince's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table to the rhythm of the piano. Bai Yaoyao drank hot tea, and her eyes inadvertently fell on the corridor.

With a bang, Bai Youyou knocked the plate out of Qin Ran's hand.

"I'm going to hit you if I want to. Do I have to choose a day?"

Bai Yaoyao was stunned when she saw Bai Youyou slap Qin Ran on the face.

Her fourth sister is so brave that she even dares to fight with others here!

The prince also looked in the direction of the voice, and his upturned lips suddenly lowered. He looked at Bai Youyou with disgust in his eyes.

Bai Yaoyao noticed the look in his eyes and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

The lake outside the boat was clear and blue. Bai Yaoyao's eyes flashed and a plan suddenly came to her mind.

She immediately put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and ran towards the pavilion, shouting, "Fourth sister, please stop, stop hitting me!"

Bai Youyou saw her coming and was afraid that she would do something bad, so she was about to push Qin Ran down with force. However, before she could even exert force, Qin Ran had already fallen down.

"what!"

"what!"

Two screams rang out at the same time, and in an instant two meters-high splashes of water appeared on the surface of the lake.

Zhao Qianqian and Bai Youyou were both stunned. They looked at each other with gleaming eyes.

The sheep are coming!

"Ah, he fell into the water!"

Zhao Qianqian looked at the two people struggling in the water and shouted exaggeratedly.

Then she jumped into the lake in a perfect parabola, grabbed Bai Yaoyao's hand and pulled her over.

Bai Yaoyao gritted her teeth secretly, trying to break free from her wrist without leaving any trace.

Zhao Qianqian was surprised for a moment, then realized that Bai Yaoyao could swim, and just wanted the prince to come and save the beauty.

Huh, what a beautiful thought!

Bai Yaoyao broke free, and she went over to her, hooked her neck and led her towards the houseboat.

While the two were fighting, the prince had already jumped into the lake and pulled up Qin Ran, who was about to sink to the bottom of the lake. He put his arm around her waist, grabbed the rope dropped by the servant, and swiftly got on the boat.

"Cough cough cough..."

Qin Ran looked pale. She lay in the prince's arms, coughing non-stop and spitting out large gulps of water.

The prince gently hugged the pale Qin Ran and angrily scolded Bai Youyou with a sullen face, "Bai Youyou, how can you be so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter!"

"I didn't push her, she fell down by herself!"

Bai Youyou was a little worried about Qin Ran, but for the sake of acting, she still held her chin high, with an arrogant and unrepentant attitude.

"Could it be that Ran Ran jumped down by herself?!"

The prince was so angry at her that he said sternly, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are young. If anything happens to Qin Ran, even your grandfather can't protect you!"

He glared at her with disgust and sent someone to tell the boatman to turn around.

Bai Yaoyao was pulled onto the boat by Zhao Qianqian. She was wet all over, with several thin white gauze pieces sticking to her body, reflecting the rose-red bellyband underneath.

She curled up on the ground with her arms around her chest, crying and blaming herself: "It's all my fault. I wanted to catch Miss Qin, but I was too weak and didn't catch her."

"How can this be blamed on you?"

The prince laid Qin Ran flat on the ground, took off his outer robe and covered her with it, his eyes full of pity.

Xiaoju, who was standing by, spoke up for her young lady, "Fifth Miss, it was clearly you who pushed Miss Qin, and you still slandered my young lady!"

Bai Yaoyao's face turned pale, her teeth chattering from the cold, tears falling from her eyes, "I didn't, I just wanted to pull Miss Qin."

"That's enough! I saw it with my own eyes, there's no need to make excuses!"

When the prince turned to look at Bai Youyou, he had a stern look on his face again, "Bai Youyou, the Taifu Mansion will never let you off easily in this matter, you better take care of yourself!"

The pleasure boat docked, and the prince ordered the carriage to come over, taking Qin Ran and Bai Yaoyao away quickly.

Zhao Qianqian and Bai Youyou were still standing on the pleasure boat, both with worried looks on their faces.

Xiaoju said anxiously: "Miss, Miss Qin was really pushed by Bai Yaoyao, I saw it with my own eyes."

"I know."

"I know too."

Zhao Qianqian and Bai Youyou looked at each other, and in a moment, they both burst out laughing at the same time.

"This scapegoat that has been offered to me voluntarily should not be rejected in vain."

Zhao Qianqian's shoulders kept shaking as she laughed, "Bai Yaoyao thought she had framed you, but she didn't know that she was the scapegoat. This is called being too clever."

Qin Ran still didn’t know what to do, and the two of them had no intention of continuing to cruise the lake.

In the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Bai Yaoyao was lying on the bed, holding a golden plum blossom hand warmer in her arms.

The prince personally sent the person back, which made everyone in Yongning Marquis' Mansion have different thoughts.

Bai Yanlang stood in front of the bed, looking at her with a smile, and reminded her: "You fell into the water, so you must take good care of yourself. Dad will ask the kitchen to make some nourishing medicinal food for you later."

Li smiled gently and said with concern: "It's still cold in February, so you need to take good care of yourself."

"If it weren't for the Fourth Miss, our Miss wouldn't have suffered so much." Bi Tao, who was standing aside, felt Bai Yaoyao's gaze and pouted her lips and said angrily, "She pushed the person herself, but she still wanted to wrongly accuse my Miss!"

Bai Yanlang's smile faded, "What's going on?!"

"The fourth young lady had an argument with the young lady of Master Qin's family on the pleasure boat today. Not only did she hit Miss Qin, she also pushed her into the lake. Our young lady was trying to save Miss Qin and was accidentally pulled into the lake."

"It's a pity that our young lady hasn't recovered from the poisoning last time, and now she fell into the water again. Even a body made of iron can't stand such abuse."

"This troublemaker!" Bai Yanlang gritted his teeth, "She actually dared to push the daughter of Master Qin's family into the water!"

Li was also shocked when she heard this. "Youyou is really too domineering. It was just a verbal dispute. How could he hit someone and push him into the water?"

She blamed him with her mouth, but she felt regretful in her heart.

If he hadn't left the Marquis' Mansion, this matter would have caused chaos in the Second House, making that old hag Mrs. Qiao so furious that she would have died of anger!

"Yes, the Fourth Miss not only bullied the young lady of Master Qin's family, but also insulted Princess Zhao Zhao of Prince Rong's mansion in public."

Bi Tao glanced at Bai Yaoyao and choked up, "My young lady tried to dissuade her with good intentions, but she scolded her on the spot. She also said that since she had left the Marquis' Mansion, she was no longer a member of the Marquis' Mansion, and asked our young lady not to try to establish a sisterly relationship with her in the future."

"That rebellious girl is so rebellious!"

Bai Yanlang was so angry that his chest was shaking violently, "Since she doesn't recognize me as her father, then I don't have her daughter either!"

"I'm going to cross her name off the family tree right now!"
