For a moment, Qin Jiaoyue felt that her heart felt cold.
The maids, women, and servants around her seemed to be floating three feet away from her in an instant.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Qin Jiao Xiyue's feet.
The glazed hairpin that was supposed to be stuck in her bun was trampled under her feet for some unknown reason.
Naturally, it has already returned to its two-part state.
Qin Jiaoyue jumped up suddenly and took a few steps away, staring at Qin Jiaoxi: "It's you, it's you, right?"
She wasn't stupid either. She recalled Qin Jiaoxi's actions before she fell into the water, and she understood instantly.
"You deliberately raised your hand to knock off my glass hairpin and fell into the water, right?"
Qin Jiaoxi looked at her tremblingly: "Ah? Yes, I'm sorry, sister. It's my fault this time. It was my sister who was too careless. She fell into the water and scared you, causing you to drop your hairpin!"
Qin Jiaoyue never expected that someone would say her usual words first, and she became furious: "Qin Jiaoxi, you fart!"
The old lady was so angry that she said, "Qin Jiaoyue, shut up!"
When she came over, she saw that Qin Jiaoyue had changed from her usual cautious behavior and desperately denied that she had knocked Qin Jiaoxi into the lotus pond, and even said that she had not touched her at all.
Now I saw the glass hairpin fell to the ground and broke into pieces, but I wanted to rely on Qin Jiaoxi.
This was not the first time that the old lady had doubts in her heart. Whenever Qin Jiaoyue got into trouble, she would cry and say that it was not her sister's fault and it had nothing to do with her. Who taught her that?
Qin Xiang, who happened to have returned home from the early morning, heard the sound and his face darkened when he saw it: "What happened?"
Qin Jiaoxi quickly got down from the mother-in-law's arms and explained: "Father, it was my daughter who was stupid and fell into the water accidentally, frightening sister Yue'er and causing her to break the hairpin given by the Queen!"
Qin Jiaoyue was furious: "That's nonsense, Qin Jiaoxi, you obviously knocked off my glazed hairpin on purpose, and you pretended to fall into the water to frame me!"
Qin Jiaoxi slowly turned his head and looked into her eyes: "Oh, really? Does that sister still dare to kneel down and swear to God that you definitely didn't break this glazed hairpin by accident?"
The moment Qin Jiaoxi's eyes met, Qin Jiaoyue's mind flashed to the scene where she knocked off the glazed hairpin on the carriage, and her heart suddenly started beating wildly.
She doesn't dare!
"Sister, do you still dare to swear to God that it was me who bumped into you instead of you running into me on purpose?"
Qin Jiaoyue argued with a pale face: "No, I didn't, I didn't hit you at all!"
Seeing this, the old lady didn't understand anything, and said angrily to Qin Yi: "Look at the good daughter you spoiled, what has she learned?"
Speaking of which, except for her eldest grandson, the old lady always treated her two granddaughters equally and never thought of favoring anyone.
But every time Qin Jiaoxi made the Yue family angry over the years, she was not present. Occasionally Qin Jiaoyue and Qin Jiaoxi confronted each other, but every time Qin Jiaoxi was at a disadvantage.
She felt that her eldest granddaughter didn't seem so brainless, but now it seems that she really is!
Prime Minister Qin was silent for a few moments and said: "The bright moon is bright, you two should go back to your own courtyard to reflect, and you are not allowed to come out until the day of the palace banquet!"
Qin Jiaoyue refused. She had never been punished before in her life, so she immediately stomped her feet in aggrievedness.
"Dad, Yue'er really didn't do anything just now. Sister, she obviously fell into the water by herself. She even bumped and knocked off Yue'er's hairpin before she fell into the water!"
