"Master, why are you here?" Mrs. Guo came forward with a smile. Guo Zhongshu Ling appeared here, which made Mrs. Guo very happy.
Mrs. Guo is the birthday girl today, and she is dressed more gracefully and dignified than usual. However, she is still not satisfied. After all, she is already old and cannot compare with the young girl.
Guo Zhongshu Ling nodded, subconsciously looked around and asked, "Where is Miss Jiang Liu?"
Jiang You was drinking tea and choked. Who could come to her if she had nothing to do?
Lin's face darkened, and when she looked at Jiang You, she said with an unhappy expression: "Jiang You, what good have you done?"
Jiang You looked innocent: "I didn't."
Mrs. Lin was obviously displeased. What good could it do to find Jiang You in front of so many people? But Master Zhongshu Ling asked this question, so she had no choice but to speak up for Jiang You: "Master Guo, my master is
Minister of Rites, are you talking about our sixth lady Jiang You?"
"Yes." Guo Zhongshu Ling nodded and said, "Miss Sixth, can you come over here? Guo has something to ask."
Lin looked at Jiang You.
Jiang You put down her tea cup and had no choice but to stand up and walk forward in front of everyone.
Arriving in front of Guo Zhongshu Ling and Mrs. Guo, Jiang You saluted politely: "I have met Mr. Guo and Mrs. Guo."
Mrs. Guo smiled and nodded.
Guo Zhongshu Ling looked at Jiang You, but nodded and said: "Prince Zhenbei fell into the water earlier, but fortunately you rescued her in time. King Zhenbei was very grateful for this and asked Guo to convey his gratitude. But, how can you, a little girl,
Dare you go into the water to save people?"
After Guo Zhongshu finished speaking, various voices of discussion followed.
Many of the people brought by Guo Zhongshu Ling were the sons of courtiers who came with their female relatives.
Jiang You frowned. In front of so many people, Guo Zhongshu Ling said something about Princess Zhenbei falling into the water. What was his intention? Now, was he questioning how she dared to go into the water to save people?
Jiang You didn't look at Guo Zhongshu Ling. He just lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Sir, the situation was urgent before. Jiang You couldn't think about that much. He only thought about saving people. But I don't know why your Excellency would have such doubts. Could it be that Your Excellency
Don’t you hope that Princess Zhenbei is safe?”
After Jiang You said that, she slowly raised her head and looked at Guo Zhongshu Ling.
"Presumptuous!" Guo Zhongshu Ling's face changed after hearing this. He looked at Jiang You dissatisfied, "How can a little girl like you make such assumptions?"
The corners of Jiang You's lips curved and she said, "Sir, please don't be angry. Jiang You is just confused. The fact that the princess fell into the water shouldn't be publicized, right?"
Guo Zhongshu Ling looked at Jiang You's face. How could such a beautiful girl have such a grumpy temper? It was really difficult for him to answer her questions in front of so many people.
Mrs. Guo smiled and said: "Master, today is my birthday. Didn't you come over to celebrate my birthday with me? Miss Jiang Liu is a kind-hearted person. When she saw Princess Zhenbei falling into the water, she naturally rescued her."
Guo Zhongshu Ling's expression softened a little, and he said to Jiang You: "Miss Jiang Liu, would you please take a trip to the pond before? Think carefully about any details you missed. Right now, the person who pushed the princess into the water is
He is dead and the case is at a deadlock. I still need Miss Six to help me, can you?"
"Okay." Jiang You nodded. Guo Zhongshu Ling said so, how could she refuse?
"Sixth Miss, please come this way." Guo Zhongshu Ling really invited Jiang You away personally.
Jiang You glanced at Guo Zhongshu Ling, turned around and walked towards the direction of the previous pond.
After walking not far, Jiang You slowed down and found that the only people following her were Guo Zhongshu Ling and two guards from the mansion.
When Jiang You walked onto the bridge, she said: "I met the princess here before, but I didn't know the princess's identity at that time. She called herself Mrs. Su, greeted me, and was accompanied by a maid.
.”
Guo Zhongshu Ling looked at it, nodded and said, "It was the maid who pushed the princess into the water."
Jiang You pointed forward and said: "Shortly after they left, I heard the maid calling for help, so I followed the sound and chased after her."
Jiangyou followed the previous route to the pond.
Guo Zhongshu Ling and two guards also came over.
Jiang You said: "When I came over, the maid was standing here, and the princess had already sunk into the pond. So, I entered the water to save her, but the maid refused to pull us ashore. Instead, she turned around and ran away. Fortunately, the prince arrived in time.
Speaking of something suspicious... the maid kept looking in that direction, as if she was waiting for someone's order..."
"Can you see who the maid is looking at?" Guo Zhongshu Ling asked.
"Not really." Jiang You smiled slightly and shook her head.
"Did Princess Zhenbei fall into the water at that location?" Guo Zhongshu Ling asked.
Jiang You took a few steps closer to the edge of the pond, pointed to a location in the water, and said without looking back, "That's the location. When I came, the princess was there."
Guo Zhongshu Ling turned around and looked at the two people beside him, who nodded.
When Guo Zhongshu Ling looked at Jiang You again, he said: "Thank you, Miss Six, for your trouble. You have worked really hard to save people. Now, you can go back!"
"Okay." When Jiang You turned her back to the pond, she saw someone next to Guo Zhongshu Ling suddenly attack her.
The man's eyes were cold, and his palm came towards her left shoulder, with the purpose of knocking her into the pond.
Jiang You's expression changed. There was a rockery to her left. At this moment, she sidestepped past and held on to the rockery next to her before she could stand firm.
She said to Guo Zhongshu Ling with a cold face: "Master Guo, what do you mean?"
Guo Zhongshu Ling had already taken a few steps back, looked at Jiang You condescendingly, showed an indifferent smile, and said: "I didn't expect that you, a rich lady raised in a boudoir, can actually have some skills. But it's a pity, you are a weakling after all.
Woman, the only thing to blame is that you saw things you shouldn’t have seen and saved people you shouldn’t have saved.”
After Guo Zhongshu finished speaking, the two guards had already taken a few steps towards Jiang You in parallel.
Jiang You held on to the rockery behind her and said with an indifferent look: "Master Guo, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to explain things to me by going to the banquet in person and bringing me here?"
"What's not easy to explain?" Guo Zhongshu Ling touched his finger and said with cold eyes, "It's precisely because I behave upright and invite you here in person that everyone will feel that I have a clear conscience.
.As for you... you said you were here to help me recall the details, but you didn’t want me to find out after careful investigation that you were the perpetrator. After being exposed by me, you fell into the water and died while escaping."
Jiang You couldn't help laughing: "It's a pity that Mr. Guo doesn't tell stories. You attacked the Zhenbei Palace, but you want me to take the blame?"
"Take the blame?" Guo Zhongshu Ling laughed, "Little girl, in the next life, don't save people randomly. Not everyone can be saved. Saving people will cause trouble. Do you understand?"
"Even if I had to do it over again, I would still save you." Jiang You said, "But Mr. Guo... do you really think you can win?"
"You can't win, haven't you seen it? It's impossible for you to think that you can run away alone?" Guo Zhongshu Ling disagreed.
Jiang You sighed and said: "That's right, I am naturally no match for Mr. Guo."
"Don't worry, I will keep your body intact. It's better for such a beautiful little girl to die in a nice way!" Guo Zhongshu Ling said with an indifferent look, "Do it!"
As soon as the words fell, the two guards rushed towards Jiang You without hesitation.
Jiangyou leaned against the rockery, not far from the pond.
The two people rushing over in front of her were both guards of the Guo Mansion, and they were highly skilled in martial arts. Naturally, she had no chance of winning against the two of them.
Can……
How could she have no backup plan?
The two people struck at Jiang You from the left and right, and Jiang You watched them getting closer and closer.
It's not that she's not afraid, it's that she believes in Su Yan.
Sure enough, before the palms of the two men fell, they were blocked by a powerful force.
In the next moment, Su Yan appeared in front of Jiang You. He turned to face Guo Zhongshu Ling and the two guards, blocking Jiang You behind him.
Guo Zhongshu Ling's face darkened: "Prince Su?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Su Yan's lips: "Master Guo, what do you mean by this? My father asked you to convey my gratitude, but are you trying to... kill people and silence them?"
Jiang You opened his mouth and said: "The prince is unaware of something. Mr. Guo said that I saved someone I shouldn't have saved. If the prince hadn't arrived in time, I would have been buried here."
Guo Zhongshu Ling's face became even darker as he watched the two people singing harmoniously.
