"Who fell into the river?" Zhao Xiran asked in disbelief after hearing the maid's words.

Banquets like this are basically taken care of very tightly, and it is unlikely that such a thing will happen.

"Yes...the fourth lady in your mansion!" The maid was a little embarrassed. After all, the two people in front of him were also from the Marquis of Xingguo's Mansion. Their mistresses came to visit their mansion, but such a thing happened, and no one could be happy about it.

"Sister Four is so crazy, how could it fall into the river?" Shao Wanru asked in a low voice. Shao Cailing is not a particularly noisy person. She will never fall into the river no matter how she looks. Besides, there are maids around her.

"I don't know this, I'm not present at that time!" The maid from the Wen Xiang Mansion lowered her head.

Seeing that the maid couldn't ask anything, Zhao Xiran and Shao Wanru hurriedly followed the maid back. What went there was not a banquet, but the previous flower hall. However, there were not many people in the flower hall, only Mrs. Wen Xiang and the Grandma, as well as Shao Cailing and Gu Xishu.

Shao Cailing was crying, Gu Xishu was also wiping her tears, and the atmosphere in the flower hall was very solemn.

Zhao Xiran and Shao Wanru came over and saluted to Mrs. Tai first, then saluted to Mrs. Wen Xiang, and were then led to sit aside.

After they were all sitting down, the lady asked, "Si Yat-tou, what you said is true?"

"Grandma, I dare not lie to you. It was really Miss Gu who invited me to come over. That place was also the place we played together when we were young, so I went there, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect it to lead me over and push me into the water!" Shao Cailing raised her red and swollen eyes and pointed her hand at Gu Xishu and said angrily.

"There are not many people who know about that place, and I made an appointment with me. How could it be that it is not Miss Gu! Miss Gu, do you want to ruin my reputation?"

Attending a banquet for a long time, she would have suffered a disaster. Shao Cailing couldn't swallow her breath. Fortunately, there were no one around at that time, otherwise her reputation would have been lost.

Recently, the mansion has been talking about fame and honor. My mother warned her not to lose fame and honor, and Shao Cailing has always remembered it.

"Miss Four, I really didn't push you. I did ask you to come here, but didn't I leave after that? I really don't know what happened to you in the water, and I don't know who pushed you. How could you get trapped on me without seeing someone? If it's really that I want to harm you, why did I come in person to come here!"

Gu Ximei was crying, explaining while crying.

"Who knows if you are setting up a suspicion array? When you were young, you followed your elder sister and kept doing things that others didn't know." Shao Cailing accused him angrily when she saw that Gu Ximei didn't admit it.

Although her clothes had been changed and her hair was mixed, she still looked wet and her face was pale and she was extremely pitiful.

The lady coughed softly and her face darkened. Shao Yanru will always be her pride, and there is no future.

Zhao Xiran saw the look on the face of the lady with sharp eyes, reached out to hold Shao Cailing's hand, and whispered to comfort her: "Fourth sister, don't talk about it first. Explain the situation at that time. Mrs. Wen Xiang will definitely give our mansion an explanation!"

Her hands were warm and pulled Shao Cailing's hand, which immediately made Shao Cailing feel a hint of warmth, and tears fell one by one,

I felt more and more aggrieved, sobbing almost in tears.

"Sister-in-law, it's really Miss Gu that hurt me..."

"Okay, okay, I know, let's listen to grandmother!" Zhao Xiran comforted her and turned around to see the grandma.

The lady coughed softly again, and instead pushed the matter to Mrs. Xiang, "Madam Wen, look at this..."

"Xi Shu, where were you at that time? When Miss Shao Si was in trouble?" Mrs. Wen Xiang turned her head and looked at Gu Ximei, who was also crying with tears on her face, and asked with a calm face.

"Auntie, I was with the maid at that time. If you don't believe me, ask them. There are more than one or two maids. After I walked away for a while, Miss Shao Si happened when I came back. I didn't meet Miss Shao Si at all in the past half of this. How could I harm her?" Gu Xishu also called Qu.

Shao Cailing was dissatisfied with her defense: "You are in your own mansion, and it is not easy to make someone do it, so why do you need to do it yourself!"

"Miss Four, I really don't!" Gu Xishu cried again.

This matter is not clear. One said it has nothing to do with her, and someone proved that she was not present at the time. The other said that even if she was not present, it was her plan, because this was Wen Xiang’s Mansion and Gu Xishu had the advantage of the territory.

Mrs. Wen Xiang and the guests outside wanted to entertain her. She was really not in the mood to pay attention to the little girls, and she made a decision on the spot: "Xi Shu said to Miss Four, no matter whether you have pushed Miss Four or not, you always had an appointment with someone before. The beginning of this matter is that you are wrong!"

"Auntie?" Gu Ximei looked at Mrs. Wen Xiang in disbelief and said.

Although she was a cousin in Wen Xiang's mansion, Mrs. Wen Xiang had no other daughter. Looking at her, she remembered her delicate little daughter in the past. She used all her beloved daughter. She basically would not be wronged. Even if there was anything, she would stand on her side.

Now that she was asked to admit what she was not doing, she also asked her to face Shao Cailing with so many people, it was really a slap in the face. If it spreads out in the future, how could she be a human being?

"I'm not apologizing yet. It's a guest from afar. You didn't treat the guest well and then made an appointment with someone to take care of your own affairs. You're wrong!" Mrs. Wen Xiang's face was very cold and she looked at Gu Xishu with a little anger.

Even though she had spoiled Gu Xishu in the past, she knew that if this matter was not resolved like this, it would be even more a big deal. If it was a big deal, it would definitely not be beneficial to Gu Xishu.

Seeing that Mrs. Wenxiang was angry, Gu Ximei had no choice but to cry while apologizing to Shao Cailing. After apologizing, she covered her face and ran out crying.

"Madam, I will investigate this matter, but no matter what, the cause of this matter is that our mansion is wrong. I will back up a generous gift to your mansion to accompany the fourth lady!" Mrs. Wen Xiang ignored Gu Xishu who ran out crying and smiled bitterly at Madam, "It's all I have spoiled her, and she has become such a carefree person."

Shao Wanru looked up at Mrs. Wenxiang. Until now, Mrs. Wenxiang did not admit that Gu Xishu had pushed Shao Cailing, but only admitted that she had missed her.

Although Shao Cailing was frightened, nothing really happened. The lady could not be polite and refused to forgive others. She nodded immediately. Even if this matter was over.

But Shao Cailing's current appearance is inconvenient to stay. Shao Wanru took the initiative to send Shao Cailing back and leave Zhao Xiran to accompany the grandmother.

.

The lady nodded to this plan. No matter what, Zhao Xiran is the new wife, she can't come to Wen Xiang's Mansion and leave without even having to eat. This makes the ladies and ladies in the mansion who are close to Zhao Shangshu's Mansion think, and the ladies and ladies in Zhao Shangshu's Mansion just came.

Shao Wanru accompanied Shao Cailing to the carriage of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion. The carriage was transferred out of the gate of the Wenxiang Mansion, and then turned another corner and arrived in front of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion.

Shao Cailing kept trembling, and her whole situation was not very good. Although she had changed her clothes, it was cold after all.

She accompanied Shao Cailing to the third room all the way. When the third wife heard that something happened to Shao Cailing, she forced herself to look at Shao Cailing. When she saw her lying in the quilt, she kept trembling, and tears fell for a moment.

She only has two daughters, and now something happened one after another. Moreover, the situation of the third wife is not good at the moment. The third wife becomes more and more sad the more she thinks about it, and she almost faints.

After Shao Wanru comforted her for a few words, she advised her to go to rest. The third lady's health was indeed very poor, and she didn't pretend to be dizzy before.

Seeing that Shao Wanru sincerely advised her to rest, the third lady expressed her gratitude while wiping her tears, and then she was helped down by her servants.

Shao Wanru did not return to Piaoyunyuan. After someone made brown sugar ginger soup for Shao Cailing, he helped Shao Cailing drink it and then guarded him.

Shao Cailing slept for a long time this time. When the lady from the front returned home and sent someone to inquire, she was not awake yet. She heard that Shao Wanru had been staying here. The lady was quite satisfied and sent someone to send some health care medicinal herbs. Shao Cailing's affairs are all this way now.

If it were in the past, the Grand Lady was still confident to ask the Minister Wen’s Mansion for the final reason. Now the Marquis of Xingguo is weak and cannot be allowed to the emperor’s green eyes. Not to mention the Minister Wen’s Mansion, even if it is the mansion of other important officials, the Marquis of Xingguo’s Mansion cannot be hit.

Thinking of a small cousin in the Wen Xiang Mansion who dared to harm his granddaughter in his house, the grandma could not swallow her tone.

But what if I can't swallow it? It's not interesting to be serious. The lady is the best at measuring gains and losses. After thinking about it, she forced herself to breathe and used the banquet at the Wen Xiang Mansion, and then she made an excuse that she was worried about being uneasy.

When Shao Cailing woke up, it was already early. Before she opened her eyes, she heard a gentle voice coming from her ears: "Sister Four wakes up, how do you feel about your health?"

Even though it was spring, the weather today was much warmer, but it was still cold in essence. It was not much of a drop in the water, which was a lifetime of cold disease. This was also the reason why Shao Wanru had to let Shao Cailing drink brown sugar ginger soup before letting her sleep.

"Thank you, Sister Wu!" Shao Cailing's voice was hoarse, but she was very sincere.

The maid helped her sit up, Shao Wanru put a cushion behind her, reached out and touched her pulse, and found that the pulse was still calm, so she put down her hand and smiled and said, "Don't worry, fourth sister, there's nothing big about it!"

Shao Wanru said this and Shao Cailing breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Shao Wanru suddenly want to speak, she thought about it and waved her hand. The people serving in her room immediately retreated, leaving only a confidant maid.
