Shi Yu stammered and couldn't say anything. She didn't see whether it was Shi Xiaoxiao who pushed Shi Yin, nor could she answer which hand pushed her. There were only two of them at the time, so she subconsciously thought it was Shi Xiaoxiao who pushed her.

She didn't hear what the two of them said. It seemed like they didn't say anything before the third sister fell down.

Now the third sister said that she said something wrong and made Shi Xiaoxiao angry, but she really didn’t say anything at that time.

When she looked at Xiaoxiao again, she saw that she had a clear conscience and was arrogant, and she understood something.

Maybe it was really the third sister who jumped down by herself.

After thinking clearly about the whole matter and realizing that she had wronged Shi Xiaoxiao, her mind went blank and she didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this situation, anyone with eyes and nose would probably know what was going on.

Shi Yuan's face turned ashen, with two flames of anger dancing in his eyes.

Shi Yu didn't care about that much. His eyes rolled around for a long time before he said, "Then find evidence that you didn't push Third Sister."

Shi Xiaoxiao sneered: "I didn't even try to push it, why are you looking for evidence? Only people with a guilty conscience would try every possible means to fabricate evidence."

"I can prove that the Second Miss didn't push anyone."

As soon as Shi Xiaoxiao finished speaking, a magnetic and low voice was heard.

When everyone turned around, they saw King Xiao walking forward slowly and leisurely.

Glancing at Shi Yin lying on the ground, he sneered, his voice sounding nonchalant.

"I was a little drunk and wanted to go to a corner to get some fresh air, but I never expected to see such a good show."

He walked up to Shi Xiaoxiao, looked at her with a smile, and joked, "Second Miss Shi, how could you just watch her jump without even trying to pull her out? She's your sister after all. Even if she meant to slander you, she wouldn't have frozen herself to death if you had just pulled her out."

No one dared to question King Xiao's words; whatever he said was what it was.

His words made the truth clear.

When Xiaoxiao was slandered, her face turned red and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

The other onlookers transferred their disgusted expressions to Shi Yin. They could not believe that such a young girl could have such a vicious mind. She was so cruel to herself in order to slander her sister.

Shi Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "She wants to harm me, why should I pull her in?"

Shi Xiaoxiao's words made everyone look at her.

The second Miss Shi, who was rumored to be mentally retarded since childhood, could actually say these words.

When being wronged, stay calm and defend yourself clearly and logically.

A few words can leave people speechless.

It seems that the rumors are wrong. The second young lady is not stupid at all, but very smart and clever.

A pair of meaningful eyes in the crowd looked at Shi Xiaoxiao quietly.

Now that the matter was clear, Shi Yuan said to everyone with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. It was just a joke between children. Haha, nothing more, everyone go back and continue the banquet."

Everyone understood that Shi Yuan meant to evacuate the people first and then punish Shi Yin.

Everyone's eyes are watching, their noses are watching, and their hearts are watching.

Everyone returned to the banquet and pretended not to care about what was happening here, but in fact, everyone was secretly craning their necks to pay attention to this side, wanting to see how Shi Yuan would punish Shi Yin.

Although it is someone else's family affair, people's curiosity is so strong.

Shi Yin and Shi Yu were already shivering and huddled together in each other's arms.

They knew that their father would not let them go this time and might even punish them more severely.

Shi Xiaoxiao looked down at Shi Yin and said sarcastically, "What a pity! I've always been very happy."

Speak, then turn around and leave!

Shi Yin was so angry that her teeth were itching!

"Lock them up in the woodshed first. Xiaoxiao's coming-of-age ceremony won't involve bloodshed."

Shi Yuan gave his servants cold orders.

Before leaving, Song Dai snorted coldly, pulled off the cloak draped over Shi Yin, and threw it on the ground, "Burn it!"

She was so kind as to put the cloak on her, thinking she was a pitiful person. But she turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, and an ungrateful one at that.

The last time they were punished, it was Xiaoxiao who pleaded for them, but not only did they not appreciate it, they even turned against me.

It really is something that is not presentable!

Shi Xiaoxiao had been busy going through the process and hadn't eaten a single bite. She was so hungry that she kept eating with Lou Keke at the banquet.

Lou Keke hurriedly poured her some water, fearing that she would choke.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, please eat slowly. You might choke."

Shi Xiaoxiao took the time to say, "Sister Lou, you don't know, I didn't even get a single grain of rice to eat today. I'm starving. My motto is to always have enough to eat and never treat myself badly!"

Lou Keke chuckled, "I can see that not only do you not treat yourself badly, you can't stand any loss at all."

"Hehe, Sister Lou still understands me."

the other side.

Prince Xiao shook the wine glass in his hand indifferently, glancing in a certain direction.

The third prince and the sixth prince walked up to him, holding wine glasses in their hands.

The Sixth Prince said, "It's been quite a while since the Imperial Uncle returned to the capital, but it's a rare opportunity for me to meet him. Today, I'm so lucky to be sitting with him. Why don't we have a drink together?"

Prince Xiao glanced at him and said, "Xiao Liu, you are in a good mood, but I am not in the mood right now. Drinking too much is harmful to your health and will inevitably cause you to make mistakes. Xiao Liu, you should find someone else."

It means that he will not go along with them and should find someone else.

The Sixth Prince smiled and sat down beside Prince Xiao. He put down his wine glass, straightened his sleeves, and said, "My uncle has always disliked getting along with others. I understand. But he was so unkind just now. He went to the theater by himself and didn't even invite me along. I always thought my uncle wasn't interested in anything. It turns out he's not. He just hasn't met someone who is interested. Haha."

After a pause, he said, "I wonder when the Emperor's uncle met Miss Shi Er, and he managed to keep it a secret so thoroughly. It seems that the Emperor's uncle has a different opinion of Miss Shi Er."

Upon hearing this, Prince Xiao downed the wine in his hand and scoffed, "I simply cannot bear to see those with ill intentions in the Great Qi that I have single-handedly protected. I cannot bear to see innocent people being wrongly accused, so I spoke out to help. I never thought that Xiao Liu would misunderstand me."

"Oh? In that case, it was my nephew who misunderstood. Please forgive me, uncle. I cannot stand such malicious people. I just don't know how Prime Minister Shi will handle this matter. Such vicious people should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others and to uphold justice for the Second Miss Shi."

"It's someone else's family affair, why discuss it? Xiaoliu is so idle, I wonder how the investigation into the Bai family's annihilation is going. It's been a while since my brother handed the case over to you, so don't let him down."

The Sixth Prince secretly observed Prince Xiao's expression and saw that everything was normal. He did not react when he heard the Second Young Lady's words.

I couldn't help but wonder, am I really overthinking it?

When Prince Xiao heard about the Li Mansion case again, his brows furrowed. "This case is indeed quite difficult. Two years have passed since then, and the perpetrator has disappeared without a trace. His methods are also extremely cruel. My nephew has been investigating for a long time, but has made little progress. I wonder if your uncle has any clever ideas?"

"No."

Seeing that Prince Xiao looked cold, the Sixth Prince didn't want to bother himself by asking for the answer he wanted to know, so he went with the Third Prince to look for someone else.

He actively participated in banquets held in the ministers' houses in order to have more contact with them and prepare for future plans.

We need to win over Prince Xiao and also the ministers.

But he is very busy!

Shi Xiaoxiao had eaten all the food here and her stomach was full. She was planning to drink some tea and eat something else.

There's no tea.

She casually handed the teapot to a maid behind her, indicating that she should change the teapot for a new one.

After chatting with Lou Keke for a while, the maid brought the tea.

Shi Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to pour a cup of tea. Her mouth was dry and she wanted to drink it directly from the teapot.

But for the sake of her image, she still poured it into a small cup, disguising herself as a dignified lady.

The tea is clear in color and is the best Enshi Yu Lu, with a fresh fragrance and delicious taste.

When the teacup was brought to her lips, Shi Xiaoxiao paused.

The tea is good, but it's a pity that something was added to it.

Aphrodisiac!

A faint smell of medicine mixed with the fragrance of tea entered her nostrils.

She wanted to shout, please, don't take out the smelly medicine and embarrass yourself, she can tell it just by smelling it.
