The people in the pavilion had just seen the maid trying to push Mu Xiyue into the water on purpose, but Mu Xiyue dodged and then pulled the maid back. Later, they saw the maid following Mu Xiyue, and they thought she was trying to hit her again when she was off guard, but she actually jumped into the lake herself.

In the eyes of others, the maid jumped into the lake on her own. Princess Qinyang and her group also saw it not far away, so they naturally thought that it was the maid who jumped into the lake on her own.

Xiao Tao was still surprised at the speed of the man who saved the woman, but Mu Xiyue was already shouting, "Someone fell into the water, someone fell into the water, help quickly!"

Xiao Tao was wondering why the young lady was still shouting when someone was already trying to rescue her. Although she didn't understand, she also shouted a few times.

This place was some distance away from the crowd, but Mu Xiyue shouted so loudly that Princess Qinyang and the others had no choice but to come over, so the people in the pavilion also walked down the rockery.

Gossip is human nature. As long as one or two people find out what's happening here, it will soon spread to more people like an infectious disease, and people from far away will come here one after another.

Princess Qinyang and the others were not too far away and soon arrived here.

There was a slope near the place where the maid fell into the water. Soon she was rescued. The man who rescued her carried the maid up from the slope. The maid looked unconscious. She had just fallen into the water for a short while and she became unconscious. If you think about it carefully, you will know that there is something wrong.

But this is not important. What is important is that two buttons on the collar of the maid's clothes have fallen off, and the collar is slightly open. Although only the collarbone is exposed, it is equivalent to losing innocence in this feudal ancient time. What's more, one of the man's hands holding the maid is pressing on the maid's chest.

Mu Xiyue knew that the man did it on purpose. She pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why did the button on her collar fall off?"

The man stuttered, "When I rescued her, she struggled desperately, and that's it."

Mu Xiyue looked around the crowd and couldn't figure out who was Shao Shuying. "I wonder where Second Miss Shao is. This little girl almost fell into the water just now, and I was the one who pulled her back. She said she was Second Miss Shao's maid, but I didn't expect she was destined to have this misfortune today, and she ended up falling into the water anyway."

Shao Shuying didn't want to claim this maid as it was too embarrassing, but she had to stand up at this time.

The maid had been put on the ground by the man. Shao Shuying was afraid that she had drowned, so she didn't dare to get too close. She only called the maid's name in an anxious tone.

Mu Xiyue glanced at Xiao Yibai, who was watching the excitement. Xiao Yibai raised his lip slightly and asked the man who saved the life, "What's your name? What do you do?"

The man obviously didn't know Xiao Yibai. He was shaking a little because he was cold. After all, it was only the end of March. It would be strange if he wasn't cold when he was soaked all over.

"I am Zhang Ergou, a stable boy."

Prince An saw him shivering and said, "Zhang Ergou, you've done a great service by saving people today. The princess will reward you later. Go change your wet clothes first."

Zhang Ergou agreed and went down. Princess Qinyang had also sent someone to call two maids to carry the maid who fell into the water back.

The maid was knocked unconscious by Zhang Ergou who covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in sleeping pills. However, after she jumped into the water, the handkerchief was also soaked in water, and the effect of the sleeping pills was much weaker. The maid woke up as soon as the old woman moved her.

The old woman helped the person up, and the maid looked at her own mistress and burst into tears, "Miss, this servant, this servant almost never saw you again, it's all because of Miss Mu, it's..."

When she woke up and saw so many people surrounding her, she knew that she would be punished when she returned because she had not done her job well. She thought of blaming Miss Mu. If she succeeded, she would still be rewarded.

People watching the excitement from a distance gradually gathered around. Shao Shuying was so angry that she almost died. She quickly interrupted the maid and said, "Zi'er, go change your clothes first. You will easily catch a cold like this."

Mu Xiyue looked at the maid with amusement. Are these people all idiots?

"Second Miss Shao, your maidservant didn't seem to finish what she was saying just now. What's the matter with me? You don't want to say that I pushed you into the water, do you? You should have been walking several feet behind me. My arms are not that long."

The maid was about to bite, but was stopped by Shao Shuying's vicious look. "You slut, have you fallen into the water and lost your mind? The princess and I were standing over there. You fell into the water by accident. Miss Mu was so far away from you. Do you want to say that Miss Mu pushed you into the water?"

The maid didn't know why the young lady suddenly helped Miss Mu, so she had to keep quiet.

Several princes were sitting in the pavilion. Shao Shuying didn't believe that they didn't see how the maid fell into the water. How dare she openly make false accusations? Didn't she care about her own reputation?

Princess Qinyang was also speechless for a while, and asked the maid to take the person downstairs to change clothes quickly. She felt that Shao Shuying's maid was really not smart enough.

Mu Xiyue didn't hold on to the maid's words, she was just a little maid.

The onlookers dispersed, and it was already noon. Mu Xiyue took Xiaotao to the food area to get some food.

Princess Qinyang, Mu Xiyu and Shao Shuying went to a secluded place to discuss the next plan. Mu Xiyue avoided the first two moves, which made Princess Qinyang feel very uncomfortable.

Shao Shuying's maid came over after changing her clothes. Shao Shuying asked with a cold face, "Zi'er, how did you fall into the water? I remember you were not very close to the lake before you fell into the water."

Zi'er was still in fear, not only because of the fear of falling into the water, but also because of the humiliation of being molested by the servant in public. Her biggest fear was the reason why she fell into the water.

"Miss, the first time I bumped into Miss Mu, she dodged me as if she had eyes on her back. Then I lost my balance and nearly fell into the lake. It was Miss Mu who held me back. At that time, I was so scared that I didn't dare to get too close to the lake.

Later, Miss Mu was walking along the lakeside. I wanted to find another opportunity, but suddenly a strong wind seemed to pull me into the lake, and I couldn't control my body at all.

Mu Xiyu's eyes turned red as she spoke softly, "Princess, I'm right, aren't I? My eldest sister is a very strange person. Your jade pendant was lost for no apparent reason. Anyway, anything related to her is very unusual. Let's forget about the rest. I don't want you to be implicated by helping me vent my anger."

Shao Shuying also said bitterly, "She is so lucky. It should have been Mu Xiyue who fell into the lake today, and it should have been her who was taken away by the servant. She actually escaped."

Mu Xiyu wiped the corners of her eyes, looking compassionate. "Yes, poor Zi'er, she was taken advantage of by a servant. If only there had been no mistakes, His Royal Highness Prince Jin would definitely not like someone who was defiled by a servant. I don't know what shameful means my eldest sister used. His Royal Highness Prince Jin, such a noble man, actually gave her 10,000 silver notes. Shuying, you are so outstanding. How can my eldest sister, who grew up in the countryside, compare to you? His Royal Highness Prince Jin must have been blinded by you for a moment."
