The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

Ji Yunchen looked over in surprise, but saw that Shi Jinyan, who used to be as cold and ruthless as an iceberg towards women, did not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face.

Seeing this situation, Ji Yunchen couldn't help but smile thoughtfully.

It was true that he was the one who invited Shi Jinyan today. After all, although his reputation was as bad as a cesspool, the elders in his family still hoped that he could "turn over a new leaf", so he was forced to participate.

He wanted to participate and he also wanted to drag Shi Jinyan into it.

However, Jin Yan had always been disdainful of such gatherings in the past and basically would not attend.

But today was extra special. He simply mentioned that Princess Lingyu, who had just arrived in the capital, also wanted to participate. After a while, Shi Jinyan took him out.

Just now, they had already understood what happened in the bamboo forest, but they did not want to have anything to do with others, so they had to sit in the pavilion and wait for everyone to leave before they appeared and left.

Unexpectedly, he witnessed someone trying to murder Princess Lingyu, who was personally appointed by His Majesty. He jokingly encouraged Shi Jinyan to rescue her, but unexpectedly, the other party looked nonchalant.

Of course, this is his usual style. If he takes the initiative to save someone one day, that would be really bad luck.

When he saw the servants and young masters on the shore jumping into the water to save people, Ji Yunchen smacked his lips and shook his head repeatedly, lamenting that Gu Fanchu's reputation was completely ruined.

When he turned around, he saw a figure flash by like the wind. His friend, who was as steady as a rock, had taken off his outer robe and thrown it to him, then jumped into the lake to save him.

Huh? This is really weird...

Ji Yunchen expressed his complete confusion, but in a moment, a sly glint flashed across his peach blossom eyes, and he watched the development of the whole incident with great interest.

Interesting~

Wang had already hurried to Gu Fanchu's side at this time. She had no time to prepare other clothes, so she could only put the loose men's clothes directly on the shivering woman and wrap her up tightly.

She looked up at Shi Jinyan and Chen Zhuo standing beside her and said gratefully:

"Thank you very much for saving me today, Master Shi. I will definitely come to thank you in person someday."

Shi Jinyan nodded slightly, then turned and prepared to leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around, and said in a cold voice:

"The princess was pushed into the water by a little maid in green clothes."

This sentence was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a commotion among the people around.

Everyone was discussing this shocking news. They never imagined that someone would dare to do such a bad thing in the princess's mansion.

Everyone knew the motives of this little maidservant. After all, the purpose behind this matter was obvious.

At this time, Meng Hewan, who witnessed the whole incident in a shady place among the rockery, had reached her peak of resentment!

Unexpectedly, Gu Fanchu was so lucky that he was rescued by Shi Jinyan.

Lu Ya had already returned to Meng Hewan trembling with fear, feeling extremely terrified by what she had just done.

Meng Hewan glanced at her sideways, said nothing, and took people to look for Gu.

When Gu Fanchu heard Shi Jinyan say this, he looked up in surprise.

Isn't Shi Jinyan always cold and heartless? Why would he take the initiative to talk about this at this moment?

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. If he was really cold-hearted, he wouldn't have ended up like that for saving me in his previous life. I guess he is a soft-hearted person.

Ji Yunchen was already shocked enough today, but he didn't expect that there was something even more surprising waiting for him!

He looked over with a meaningful smile, and happened to meet Shi Jinyan's indifferent expression. He suddenly felt a chill and an ominous premonition came to his heart.

Sure enough, the next second, "Master Ji also saw it, why not let him handle it. I'll go change my clothes first."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The smile on Ji Yunchen's face froze instantly, and he felt helpless. But in front of everyone, he could only force a smile and say:

"I can still handle this little matter, please rest assured."

He then sent people to search the mansion, and he went to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess for instructions, after all, this was the Princess's garden.

At the same time, he secretly cursed Shi Jinyan for being ruthless and ungrateful.

The atmosphere at this moment was very subtle. No one present was a fool, so they naturally understood what was happening.

Obviously, someone deliberately framed Gu Fanchu with the intention of ruining her reputation.

Moreover, this method is extremely insidious and cruel.

However, what is puzzling is what this young lady, who had just returned to the general's mansion, did wrong and who did she offend?

If a servant or a young master had rescued her today, her reputation would have been severely damaged. However, it was Taifu Shi who saved her, and the situation became complicated...

The fifth prince stood behind the crowd and watched the entire incident indifferently, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Afterwards, he beckoned the guards around him and whispered, "Go and investigate immediately to see if Shi Jinyan had any connection with this woman."

After the guards took the order and left, the fifth prince fell into deep thought.

He thought to himself that this matter did not seem simple, at least Jin Yan's performance today was not simple.

Who is Shi Jinyan? He is a favorite of the emperor. Back then, all the members of the Shi family died in an accident, and the only child in the huge noble mansion was the nine-year-old Shi Jinyan.

The emperor took pity on him, so he often sent people to bring Shi Jinyan into the palace to study with the princes, and even taught him personally.

Shi Jinyan also showed extraordinary talent since childhood, even surpassing the prince who went to school with him.

This also made the other princes dissatisfied, so they stopped him privately and sent people to beat him up.

This matter was eventually discovered by the emperor. He flew into a rage and had the princes who had committed the crime beaten with a stick and made them kneel outside the hall for a whole day.

It was from this incident that rumors started to spread that Shi Jinyan was actually the emperor's child...

Of course, it's just rumors.

When Shi Jinyan grew up, he became even more cruel and ruthless, and he could make people angry to death with just a disagreement.

The emperor also favored him even more and entrusted him with important tasks.

But today, Shi Jinyan unusually rescued a girl in the boudoir. This was really too abnormal.

When the guards around him heard the order, they immediately saluted slightly and left quietly.

Gu Fanchu, supported by Wang and Wang Yuyan, went to a nearby room and changed his clothes.

He drank the ginger soup brought by the servant and finally felt better.

The princess also sent someone to convey the message that the matter has been handed over to Ji Yunchen, and she believes that he will be able to give her an explanation.
