In the suburbs of Beijing, cavalrymen wearing heavy armor were marching solemnly forward.

The cavalry was on full alert, with the vanguard holding shields, the left wing holding swords, the right wing holding spears, and the rear wing holding bows. The entire army was on high alert.

Guarded in the center was an unmarked black carriage.

At this moment, Ji Xue's voice sounded synchronously in the carriage.

Then came a surprised male voice: "Dahei, Su Jixue has gone crazy, trying to overthrow the whole place by herself! Even I wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in this situation!"

The voice turned out to be the man in white who was watching the excitement from a distance at Mirror Lake in the Princess's Mansion.

"Master, Su Jixue is not in good condition. Do you want to arrest her now?" The man in black ignored the man in white and asked in a serious voice.

Inside the carriage, all sounds emanated from a bell on the small table—a ringing ear bell. Secret treasures come in pairs, allowing sound to be transmitted across distances.

The sound coming from the princess's mansion was clearly audible.

No one responded from inside the carriage.

Beside the small table, a man was leaning against the side with his eyes closed. His whole body seemed to be carved from the never-melting ice and snow of Changbai Mountain, perfect, pale, and without a trace of warmth.

Even wearing a fox cloak as red as flames, it seemed unable to keep him warm at all.

The slender fingers were like cold jade, resting on the small table and tapping gently on the surface.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

"Master, what Dahei said makes sense. The eldest princess is of no status and has no temper. She can act unreasonably in front of the emperor, but Su Jixue dared to step on Lu Jing so recklessly. And now that Madam Su is here, she is still so arrogant, like a desperate dog! I think if she is pushed to the limit, she will really dare to tear Su Mingyue apart!"

"Yes, Master, Miss Su II cannot afford any mistakes. This concerns the Master's safety!"

Not hearing any instructions, the man in white and the man in black in the princess's mansion spoke again.

No one can face Su Jixue's abnormality better than them.

If we delay, something might happen.

The fingers tapping the wooden table stopped, and the man in the carriage finally spoke: "Indeed, there is no room for error."

His voice was cold and noble, with a hint of illness.

Cherish words like gold.

Then, the man's cold, narrow eyes slowly opened, and a terrifying aura emanated from him, like a resting beast preparing to start preying.

"Everyone speed up, go to the Princess's Mansion!"

at the same time--

In the princess's mansion, Ji Xue's words caused an uproar.

what? !

What did Su Jixue say? !

If they are wrong, they should kneel down and apologize?!

"Su Jixue, are you crazy? You even want someone to kneel down and apologize to you?!" Lu Jing exploded: "You are really stubborn even when you are about to die!"

"Madam Su, are you just going to watch Su Jixue act so arrogantly?!"

"If this happened in our house, we would have punished them according to the family rules long ago!"

"Su Jixue is going too far!"

The onlookers followed suit and talked at the same time.

"What?" Ji Xue raised her chin slightly, her upturned peach blossom eyes glaring and charming. When she glanced at everyone, her eyes seemed to be pierced with thorns, revealing an indescribable cold and charming arrogance: "Do you dare to be wrong and not admit it?"

If Su Jixue is wrong, she should kneel down and admit her mistake. If they are wrong, they don’t have to pay any price.

Why!

"Su Jixue!" Shen didn't expect that at this moment her eldest daughter, who always listened to her, would dare to provoke everyone. She couldn't help but walk forward and raised her hand to slap Su Jixue.

Hit her!

Hit her hard!

Everyone had the same idea.

Su Mingyue raised her eyes and sneered in her heart. She thought that Su Jixue couldn't fight back this time.

But the slap did not fall.

Ji Xue easily grabbed Shen's wrist and stomped hard on Lu Jing, who was trying to get up. She looked straight at her "mother" who had completely turned her face against her: "Mother, before, facing the rumors, you said that no matter what Ji Xue did, there must be a reason for it. You would believe Ji Xue and said that Ji Xue has always been your good daughter in your heart."

"You also said that no matter what happens, you will always stand by Jixue's side."

"It is because of your words that Jixue has never been afraid no matter what she faces."

Shen's words were once Su Jixue's light in the dark world, and they were also the reason why Su Jixue never doubted Shen.

Always gentle, understanding, trusting, and supportive.

Like a perfect mother.

"They say there are no parents who don't love their children. Children can always seek support from their parents when they're wronged, and mother loves Jixue especially." Ji Xue's grip on Shen's hand tightened, her eyes, once sparkling, now like an ancient well, bottomless. "Now that my daughter is being targeted, are you going to side with them and throw mud at her?"

"still--"

"Will you seek justice for your daughter?"

Today, Ji Xue will tear off the mask of this loving mother and show it to everyone.

Shen felt as if her wrist was being gripped by a water ghost, cold and painful. Su Jixue's eyes and tone were unsettling, and she immediately decided to suppress her. "Fairness?! Su Jixue, you dare to say you didn't push your sister into the water?!"

"I didn't." Ji Xue answered confidently and decisively: "Su Mingyue jumped down by herself."

"But do you believe it?"

"Do you believe me or her?"

Ji Xue asked one question after another, giving the choice and pressure to Shen.

The lakeside became quiet again, and all eyes wandered back and forth between Su Jixue, Su Mingyue and Madam Su, waiting for the final answer.

What is the truth?

Su Mingyue nervously grabbed the handkerchief, wondering if she had made any mistakes.

Shen stared at Su Jixue intently. This damned girl seemed a little different. But Shen would never give her a chance to turn the tables. "Okay, I'll give you one more chance. Jixue, since you keep saying you didn't cause Mingyue to fall into the water, do you have any evidence to prove it?"

Ji Xue lowered her eyes and shook her head slowly: "No."

"No?!" Shen sneered in her heart, but her face was still tense, her eyes full of disappointment and hurt: "Jixue, you can't always betray your mother's trust in you like this."

Ji Xue raised her eyes and seemed ready to speak.

Shen spoke before her, "Jixue, even if you're lying, use some brains. Jinghu Lake is a famous cold pond. How could Mingyue, who is so weak, jump into the lake by herself in such weather?! Besides, she can't swim at all. Is it necessary for her to do that?!"

"You're bullying Mingyue because you respect her as her sister and she won't argue. You've always been jealous of Mingyue. Did Mingyue have to risk her life to frame you?!"

"If the imperial physician hadn't treated you in time, you would have killed your sister!"

"It's because your mother doted on you too much that you thought you could do wrong without paying the consequences. As a result, you became more and more fearless and harmed your own sister."

"Madam Gui, go find someone to send the young lady home. This time, we must enforce family discipline!"

Shen spoke faster and faster, quickly clearing Su Mingyue's name and convicting Su Jixue.

After saying that, she winked at Aunt Gui to quickly let Su Jixue leave.

We can't allow this scourge to continue.

Moreover, after this incident, no matter how the Shen family treats Su Jixue in the future, they will have a legitimate reason.

"Don't be impatient." Ji Xue curled her lips slightly and spoke slowly: "Although I said I can't prove my innocence, I didn't say I can't prove that my sister deliberately framed me."

Everyone was stunned.

What does she mean?

Su Mingyue's heart tightened.

Ji Xue looked at Shen with a smile, saying, "Please watch this good show, mother."

The words have not yet fallen.

Everyone only had time to see the red skirt flash before Ji Xue arrived in front of Su Mingyue.

She acted swiftly.

Su Mingyue was thrown high into the air, screaming, and flew in an arc before crashing heavily into the center of the lake.

puff.

Water splashed everywhere.

Miss Su II fell into the water with a loud bang.

"Moon!"

Lu Jing, who was finally liberated, and Shen, who had just reacted, exclaimed at the same time.

Ji Xue took out a handkerchief and wiped the hand that had just grabbed Su Mingyue. After wiping, she threw the handkerchief away gracefully and smiled like a devil.

"Look, this is what would happen if I pushed her."
