The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor
Chapter 190: Stealing chicken but losing rice
"Miss Wei, Mu Xia, what a coincidence!"
Li Muxia rolled her eyes and turned to look at Feng Jingxin.
"Miss Feng, unfortunately, we were just about to leave." You're always there for her. Although she really wanted to retort, Li Muxia restrained herself.
Li Muxia really didn't want to be with Feng Jingxin. This person was too cunning, and she didn't know what kind of trouble she was up to this time.
As Li Muxia was about to leave with Wei Shuyue, Feng Jingxin stepped in front of her and said, "Muxia, is there some misunderstanding between us? Can I talk to you alone?"
Li Muxia didn't want to say anything more to her, and said, "I have nothing to say to you."
After saying that, he tried to pull Wei Shuyue to the side.
As they passed Feng Jingxin, Feng Jingxin grabbed Li Muxia's arm. Li Muxia, impatient, forcefully shook Feng Jingxin off.
Feng Jingxin caught a glimpse of the person sitting down and, following Li Muxia's force, leaned to the side, letting out a soft "Ah."
Sure enough, a man quickly walked towards them, helped Feng Jingxin up from the ground, and asked, "What happened?"
People around them also looked over. Li Muxia secretly rolled her eyes, knowing that this woman wouldn't let her enjoy the art exhibition in peace.
Feng Jingxin tugged at Dongfang Jinlin's sleeve and said, "Your Highness, it's not Mu Xia's fault, it's just that Xin'er didn't stand properly."
For some reason, upon hearing Feng Jingxin say such things and seeing her appearance, the word "green tea" involuntarily flashed through the minds of the onlookers.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinlin said, "Since it was Miss Feng who lost her footing, then we can't blame anyone else."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present was stunned. They had thought they would see a scene of Prince Chen protecting his fiancée and dealing with his ex-fiancée, but unexpectedly, Prince Chen had just glossed over it with a single sentence.
Li Muxia and Feng Jingxin were also stunned. Li Muxia was ready to start arguing, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to use the words she had prepared.
Feng Jingxin stared at Prince Chen in disbelief. After helping her up, Prince Chen stepped aside without looking at her.
Feng Jingxin gave a wink to the maid beside her.
The maid immediately said, "Your Highness, if Miss Li hadn't pushed my mistress, she wouldn't have fallen. My mistress is soft-hearted and doesn't want to blame Miss Li, but I really feel sorry for her."
Li Muxia was almost amused by the maid's appearance; like master, like servant.
After the maid finished speaking, Feng Jingxin pretended to be angry and scolded, "Green Willow, shut up."
Watching the performance of the mistress and servant, Li Muxia sneered inwardly. With her arms crossed, she said, "Your mistress already said that she fell because she wasn't standing properly. How dare you, a mere maid, question your mistress?"
Seeing the gazes directed at her, Green Willow knelt on the ground and said repeatedly, "This servant dares not, but this servant simply could not bear to see Miss being wronged, so I dared to speak out. Please punish me, Miss."
Feng Jingxin bent down to help Lvliu up and said, "Lvliu, I know you mean well, but... never mind."
Feng Jingxin looked hesitant, perfectly showcasing the deep affection between master and servant, while also pointing the finger at Li Muxia, implying that she was confirming what Green Willow had said earlier.
Li Muxia gave a cold laugh and said, "You two, master and servant, are quite affectionate. However, Miss Feng's fall just now was indeed related to me."
Upon hearing this, everyone thought it was an admission. What was Li Muxia thinking? Even if she really did it, she couldn't admit it in front of so many people. Was she stupid?
Even Wei Shuyue, who was standing to the side, gently tugged at Li Muxia's sleeve, not understanding Li Muxia's behavior.
Li Muxia smiled slightly at Wei Shuyue, shook her head, and continued, "Wei-jie and I were walking along peacefully when someone suddenly grabbed my hand. I was startled and instinctively tried to shake it off, but how much strength can a small woman like me have? I didn't expect Miss Feng to be so frail, and she fell down. It really startled me. Realizing I had hurt her, I wanted to help her up and apologize, but Prince Chen didn't give me the chance. However, after hearing Miss Feng's explanation, I admire her magnanimity. But I didn't expect Miss Feng's maid to be so petty and lacking in Miss Feng's tolerance. I think Miss Feng should consider changing her maid. After all, a maid sometimes represents her mistress, and you shouldn't let a servant tarnish your mistress's reputation."
This statement was impeccably worded. It explained that he had accidentally pushed Miss Feng, while simultaneously shifting the blame to Feng Jingxin. It implied that if Feng Jingxin hadn't rashly grabbed Li Muxia's hand, none of this would have happened. Ultimately, Feng Jingxin's fall was her own fault, and she had no one else to blame. At the same time, it subtly belittled the maidservant beside Feng Jingxin.
By blocking Feng Jingxin's future path, it would be unreasonable for Feng Jingxin to still try to blame Li Muxia for her fall.
Sure enough, at this moment, Prince Chen, who had been standing to the side, spoke up: "Since Miss Feng was the one who was rude first, then Miss Li is not to blame. Let's leave it at that and everyone can disperse."
When Feng Jingxin heard what Prince Chen said, she felt like she was going to vomit. She had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, and now she had gained a reputation for being impolite in front of Prince Chen.
Prince Rui, watching from behind the crowd, also witnessed this scene and inwardly praised her: "What a quick-witted little girl."
Prince Chen watched Li Muxia walk away, lost in thought. She was different now.
Feng Jingxin cautiously said, "Your Highness, there is a landscape painting over there. Xin'er will accompany Your Highness to take a look."
Dongfang Jinlin turned to look at Feng Jingxin and said, "I have other matters to attend to. Miss Feng, please go and see if you wish."
After saying that, he left without waiting for Feng Jingxin to speak. The direction he went was clearly the same direction Li Muxia had gone.
Feng Jingxin angrily twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand. If it weren't for the veil covering her face, one would definitely see a face twisted with jealousy.
Dongfang Jincheng also walked towards Li Muxia.
"Miss Li."
Hearing the voice, Li Muxia turned her head and asked, "Is there anything else, Your Highness Prince Chen?"
Dongfang Jinlin glanced at Wei Shuyue beside him.
Wei Shuyue, being sensible, said to Li Muxia, "Muxia, I'll wait for you over there."
Li Muxia nodded slightly. She knew that Dongfang Jinlin probably wanted to talk to her alone, and she also wanted to clarify things between them. After these few encounters, Li Muxia could sense that her ex-fiancé seemed to have some feelings for her.
