Jian Yue tilted her head, seemingly not understanding, as she looked at Sun Bihe. Suddenly, Sun Bilian stepped forward, sat down next to Jian Yue, and said with a smile, "Big sister, you're talking about things we don't understand. We're all here to have fun, why are you being such a spoilsport?"

As she spoke, she picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Jian Yue, saying, "Whose daughter are you? You're so beautiful. Would you be my sister-in-law?"

Jian Yue was taken aback, then blushed and lowered her head, saying in a low voice, "Sister, you can't say such things carelessly. I'm already engaged. If others hear this, it might cause trouble."

Sun Bihe immediately smiled and scolded Sun Bilian, "That's right, Lian'er likes to talk nonsense, but she really likes you. May I ask which family you are from, and who you are betrothed to?"

Jian Yue smiled shyly and said, "Let's not talk about this. By the way, we've been chatting for so long, but we still don't know whose daughters you are. Could you please tell us?"

Sun Bilian immediately stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Jian Yue's arms, and said with a grin, "Sister likes me too, right? Then guess whose family I am? If you guess wrong, you'll have to be my sister-in-law."

Jian Yue suddenly seemed at a loss, looking at Sun Bihe pleadingly. Sun Bihe frowned and looked at Sun Bilian coldly, saying, "Lian'er, don't be rude, let go now."

Sun Bilian pouted and said, "I won't let go. You always manage me like this at home. I don't like you. I like this older sister. Older sister, be my sister-in-law. Then you can play with me. Just cancel your marriage. Our family is big and wealthy. We will definitely have more than your current husband's family."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue's face immediately showed panic. She subconsciously reached out to cover Sun Bilian's mouth. Sun Bilian seemed to struggle, taking a small step forward with her right foot, silently cutting off Jian Yue's escape route. Then, she tightened her grip and shouted in a panic, "Why are you hitting me, sister?"

The sound was so loud that everyone around turned to look. At this moment, Sun Bihe looked at Jian Yue with a panicked expression and said, "Please have mercy, young lady."

Sun Bilian, with a wronged expression and tears streaming down her face, covered her head with her hands, but secretly leaned forward slightly, sticking her buttocks out, and shoved Jian Yue into the pond.

Jian Yue was also in a panic. After being hit by Sun Bilian, she was about to fall into the pond. But in the blink of an eye, just as Jian Yue was trying to save herself, she felt a familiar scent covering her body. Then, she was lifted into the air and landed under the artificial hill.

Jian Yue looked up in a panic and met Murong Chuan's slightly alarmed eyes, causing her to lose her composure for a moment.

"What? Are you scared? Don't be afraid, it's alright now."

Murong Chuan hurriedly tried to appease them, then frowned and looked at Sun Bihe and her sister, angrily saying, "This is the Prime Minister's residence, and you are still so arrogant. It's simply outrageous."

Upon hearing this, Sun Bihe immediately stepped forward and knelt down in a panic, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive me. It was my mistake. I was just flustered, so please investigate thoroughly, Your Highness."

Murong Chuan sneered, "What a keen observer!"

Jian Yue had already come to her senses and looked at Sun Bilian, her eyes instantly filled with tears.

"What are you doing, sister and younger sister? Jian Yue has never offended you, why are you slandering me like this? You were the ones who came up to me and said some nonsense. I was panicked and then you turned around and accused me. I almost fell into the water. I want to ask you for justice."

As Jian Yue spoke, her eyes flickered slightly, and she saw Sun Bihe glance at the man outside when no one was looking. Jian Yue followed her gaze and saw a corner of white clothing disappear outside the door. She narrowed her eyes slightly and made a gesture to Xiao Cui.

Seeing this, Xiao Cui paused slightly, then followed Jian Yue's lead and ran towards her.

"Miss, Miss, are you alright? How are you? Miss, I was so scared! Who are you, Miss? Why did you try to poison my young lady? First you insulted her husband's family, then you tried to force her to break off her engagement and remarry, and finally you even tried to push her into the pond. How could you be so vicious?"

Xiao Cui's words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the gradually gathering crowd. Sun Bihe bit her lip, annoyed that the Crown Prince had moved so quickly. If Murong Chuan hadn't intervened, Jian Yue would have already fallen into the water and would have succeeded by the time she changed clothes in the back courtyard.

But right now, how do we resolve this situation?

Thinking this, Sun Bilian burst into tears first. With tears in her eyes, she looked timidly at Murong Chuandao and said, "Your Highness, I am foolish and don't know what this girl was saying. I... I just thought this sister was pretty and wanted her to be my sister-in-law, so I said a few more words. Who knew she would get angry and try to hit me? I lost control and pushed her. If I had fallen into the water, it wouldn't have been intentional. How come now it's my fault?"

Sun Bilian was only thirteen years old at the time, and she was very petite. Now, as she cried, she looked like a beautiful pear blossom, which made many people believe her.

As for Jian Yue, most of the young masters and ladies present had attended the welcoming banquet for the heir of Qingyan Marquis and had seen Jian Yue's appearance at the time. Therefore, they felt that what Sun Bilian said was true and that Jian Yue was a fake.

Jian Yue smiled, her eyes dim, and said, "From the moment these two young ladies appeared and started chatting with me until now, I still don't know your names. And you two have been talking badly about my husband's family. I was just afraid that the young ladies would cause trouble by talking nonsense, so I thought of covering their mouths. Who knew that these young ladies would suddenly scream, even attack, and then falsely accuse me of being unkind and unjust? I won't take the blame for this."

Jian Yue's words made it clear that neither side had any ill intentions. If Sun Bihe and Sun Bilian were to cause trouble again at this moment, everyone present would probably think that the two sisters were petty and narrow-minded.

In this situation, it was clearly inappropriate to do something so undignified. Therefore, Sun Bihe gave Sun Bilian a look and then smiled at Jian Yue, saying, "If that's really the case, then it's truly a misunderstanding. My younger sister is mischievous, so please don't mind her."

Sun Bilian immediately looked at Jian Yue with teary eyes, her innocent expression making Jian Yue sneer inwardly. However, on the surface, she smiled shyly and said, "It's alright. It's just that little sister is innocent and naive, but she should also know what she should say and what she shouldn't say. Otherwise, she might cause trouble with her words, and it would be a loss if she got into any trouble."

Sun Bihe nodded, but before she could say anything, she suddenly heard a boy laugh and say, "Oh my, someone actually dared to make my princess break off my engagement, tsk tsk, this is really strange. I want to see who this person is and whose power they are relying on."

Jian Yue was slightly stunned. She looked in the direction of the sound, and when she saw Bai Jianan's flamboyant mask, her worries lessened a bit.

Murong Chuan's expression clearly turned sour.

He frowned slightly, took a step back, and leaned down to whisper in Jian Yue's ear, "That's enough for today. I have prepared a gift for you. Be sure to check it later."

Jian Yue was confused, but at this moment, the way Murong Chuan and she were acting was obviously too ambiguous. She could only turn her head away and take a step to the side, saying, "Your Highness, please maintain your dignity and don't lose face here, or tarnish the reputation of others."

Murong Chuan smiled and said nothing more. Then he saw Bai Jianan walk over and pull Jian Yue to his side as if asserting his ownership. He asked her with concern, "My wife, are you alright? I heard someone bullied you? Tell me who it was, and I'll kill her."

The tone was as if asking what you like to eat and offering to kill it for you. Jian Yue looked at Bai Jianan and saw a hint of jealousy in his eyes. Suddenly, her stern face couldn't help but chuckle.

Bai Jianan was furious. He had rushed over as fast as he could, but he still hadn't arrived in time. The Crown Prince had gotten there first and taken his wife. This was utterly humiliating for him.

But he couldn't take his anger out on his wife, so he turned around and glared fiercely at Murong Chuandao: "Oh! Isn't this the Crown Prince? I'm here to pay my respects to the Crown Prince. Why is the Crown Prince so free that he only joins this lousy banquet when he comes?"

Murong Chuan squinted and said, "I've been having some free time lately, and I happened to receive an invitation from Miss Yue. I couldn't just refuse a young lady's request, so I came to take a look."

Bai Jianan laughed loudly, "I didn't expect the Crown Prince to be so chivalrous. It just so happens that I came over just now and saw that the eldest daughter of the Qiu family seemed to have encountered some trouble. I wonder if the Crown Prince would be so kind as to go and check on her?"

Something happened to Qiu Lingfeng? Jian Yue frowned slightly and glanced at Murong Chuan, only to see Murong Chuan give her a mysterious smile. She paused, suddenly remembering what Murong Chuan had just said.

"I have prepared a gift for you. Please be sure to check it later."

Could it be?

Jian Yue didn't have time to think any further, when she saw Murong Chuan laugh and say, "Young Master is joking. The Prime Minister's residence is not an ordinary place. How could anyone be wronged here?"

"Indeed, it's just a cup of tea spilled on my clothes. I can just go to the backyard and change. But I think the tea was spilled by a servant of the Crown Prince by accident, so I brought it up with the Crown Prince. Since the Crown Prince thinks it's insignificant, then it's nothing."

As he spoke, he smiled at Jian Yue and said, "In that case, let's see how to resolve what just happened! My wife, now you should be able to tell me who wanted you and me to break off our engagement, right?"

"This one……"

Jian Yue blinked, glancing at Sun Bilian out of the corner of her eye. Sun Bilian immediately took a step back in fear, unsure of what to do, and could only look at Sun Bihe.

Sun Bihe was much calmer, and smiled apologetically at Bai Jianan, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive me. My Lian'er is still young, and besides, she didn't know that this young lady's fiancé was actually Your Highness."
