Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Why would the princess send a banquet invitation to the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion? Xie Qingyao naturally couldn't guess the reason and shook her head vigorously.

The eldest princess's expression darkened. She put down her teacup and said coldly, "Xie Qingli instigated Fu'an to bully Roujia. I naturally cannot bear to see my daughter suffer such injustice, so I must help her vent her anger!"

Xie Qingyao couldn't believe her ears. She looked at the eldest princess in shock, her mind going blank.

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes half-smiling with undisguised mockery and sarcasm. "Do you really think I would condescend to curry favor with a lowly fourth-rank official?"

Xie Qingyao hurriedly gathered her thoughts and lowered her head humbly, but she suddenly realized that Xie Qingli had offended the eldest princess and she was doomed!

In an instant, the ecstasy in Xie Qingyao's heart burst out like a torrent of river water.

The eldest princess looked at Xie Qingyao coldly and said lightly, "I know your situation is not good. Although the Xie family recognizes you, Jiang Muxue and the Jiang family do not. Without the recognition of the Jiang family, in this Shengjing City full of powerful people, you are nothing!"

Xie Qingyao's blood, which had just been boiling, cooled down instantly, and her face turned pale.

The eldest princess was very satisfied with Xie Qingyao's reaction. She looked up at Xie Qingyao with disdain, as if she were looking at an ant. After a moment, she curled her lips and said, "I can help you, and I'm even willing to be your backer. However, you have to do something for me first. Are you willing?"

The princess was actually willing to be her backer? Xie Qingyao's mind was filled with fireworks, as if she were dreaming a beautiful dream! She hurriedly knelt down and said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Highness. I am willing to do this. I will do my best to fulfill your orders!"

The eldest princess raised her hand slightly, and Xie Qingyao hurriedly stood up and moved closer to the eldest princess.

The maidservant immediately brought a tray with a small porcelain bottle on it.

The eldest princess said calmly, "It's not a difficult task. You just need to add this to Xie Qingli's tea at the banquet and make sure she drinks it."

Xie Qingyao carefully picked up the porcelain bottle and bowed, saying, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will fulfill my mission!"

The eldest princess nodded slightly. Originally, she just wanted to humiliate Xie Qingli at the banquet and ruin Xie Qingli's reputation, but Xie Qingli looked exactly like Jiang Muxue, which aroused the hatred buried in her heart. She put all this hatred on Xie Qingli and was determined to ruin Xie Qingli's reputation today!

……

Coming out of the flower hall, Xie Qingli originally followed behind Princess Fu'an, but there were too many noble ladies surrounding Princess Fu'an, chattering all the way. Nong Ying and Cai Yun followed behind them, and the group walked along the winding path that was only wide enough for one person to pass, heading towards the depths of the garden.

When crossing the path, a lake with rippling blue waves appeared before everyone's eyes.

When Xie Qingli and Leng Shuang arrived at the lake, Princess Fu'an and several noble ladies had already boarded a cruise ship. The cruise ship slowly started moving and rowed towards the lake.

Xie Qingli frowned and looked over hurriedly. The other cruise boat was also full of noble ladies and was slowly moving. There were no other boats on the shore.

Xie Qingli was anxious. She couldn't use her martial arts skills to fly to the cruise ship in public, and she was at a loss for a moment.

Princess Fu'an was standing at the stern of the boat in a good mood. Seeing Xie Qingli standing anxiously on the shore, she waved at her and shouted, "Don't worry, sister Li'er. I'll be back soon. Don't worry, I can swim!"

The noble ladies didn't know why Princess Fu'an said these words, but Xie Qingli was a little annoyed. Princess Fu'an was too naive. Even though she could swim, she couldn't prevent the eldest princess from making a move!

Watching the gradually receding cruise ship, she instructed Leng Shuang, "Find a way to notify your master as soon as possible." She frowned and whispered, "This place is full of dangers. Tell him to take Princess Fu'an away as soon as possible!"

Although Xie Qingli had made all the necessary preparations for the banquet, Princess Fu'an's lack of a sense of crisis gave Xie Qingli a bad feeling!

Leng Shuang replied in a low voice, "When I was investigating the princess' carriage, I managed to send a message, but this place is not very close to the capital, so I don't think Your Highness will arrive so soon!"

Xie Qingli nodded slightly. She looked helplessly at the cruise ship sailing on the lake, and followed the path by the lake in the direction of the cruise ship.

After walking for about a cup of tea, a rockery appeared before their eyes. The path by the lake led directly to a dark cave under the rockery. Xie Qingli looked around and found that there was no other way forward except this cave.

Leng Shuang stepped forward quickly and said softly, "Miss, please wait a moment, I'll go for a walk first!" After that, she quickly went into the cave.

But in a moment, Leng Shuang flashed out of the cave and said softly: "Miss, there is nothing unusual!"

Xie Qingli walked quickly through the cave, and the view in front of him suddenly opened up. However, this was not the lakeshore. A river gurgled out from the bottom of the rockery and slowly flowed into the distance. A round, ancient arch bridge was built across the river, and a towering ancient tree stood on the river bank. It seemed as if it had stood there for a thousand years, exuding an atmosphere of calmness and strength.

Leng Shuang ran quickly onto the bridge, but Xie Qingli stopped. She stared blankly at the tree, as if she had seen it in a dream.

At that time, she had just borrowed Lu Li's body to revive. She obtained Lu Li's memory and knew that Lu Li was killed by her stepmother. She knew that Lu Li was unwilling to accept this, but she was just a little village girl who knew nothing. So she rushed to Hopeless Mountain to learn from a master with all her hatred and hope.

One night, she curled up in the grass at the foot of the mountain to sleep, but she dreamed of Lu Li standing quietly under such a big tree. Lu Li looked at her with a smile and whispered, "It's so strange to look at your own body like this!"

At that time, she was timid and didn't dare to speak. She looked at Lu Li with some fear and even took a step back.

Lu Li's eyes lit up with a smile, and she said softly, "Don't be afraid, this body belongs to you. I can't go back, but I was curious, so I entered your dream."

She knew she had taken someone else's things for nothing, so she said, "When I learn martial arts, I will help you get revenge!"

Lu Li turned her head to look at the slowly flowing river, sighed, and said two lines of poetry which she did not understand at that time.

Lu Li said: "Life is just like a dream!" After saying this, Lu Li gradually disappeared and she woke up from her dream.

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" Leng Shuang's anxious voice came from afar.

Xie Qingli gradually came back to her senses. Her face felt a little itchy. She reached out and touched it, and found it was already covered with tear marks. In her previous life, she had not avenged Lu Li after all! This unfulfilled promise was probably the deepest debt in her heart!

Leng Shuang asked doubtfully, "Miss, what do the two lines of poetry you read mean?"

"Did I just say that out loud?" Xie Qingli was shocked.

Leng Shuang nodded vigorously and whispered, "Miss, what are you talking about running water and dreaming..."

Just as Xie Qingli was about to say something, he heard a male voice coming from outside the courtyard wall not far away: "Life is like the flow of water, it is just a dream! Good poem, good poem!"
