How could the maid not know that her young lady was rescued by a deceitful disciple? If the blame was not placed on Hua Yanxi, her young lady's reputation would be ruined, and she, the maid, would not be able to escape the blame. The master and his wife would definitely be beaten to death.
hers.
But if her young lady was pushed down, everyone would sympathize with her and blame Hua Yanxi, so she would still have a chance to survive.
Gu Xiruo hesitated and said: "Fifth Princess, I know that Wanrou has offended you before, but you shouldn't directly want to take her life. This place is quiet and deep. If someone hadn't happened to pass by, I'm afraid she wouldn't survive today.
"
After Gu Xiruo's reminder, everyone looked around.
Yes, it's so quiet here, and the maid looked stunned. If someone hadn't rescued her in time, she would have been in trouble. How much hatred would it take to kill someone like this?
The eyes looking at Hua Yanxi were filled with reproach.
I didn't expect that the fifth prince's concubine would be such a vicious person.
Reminiscing that the two of them had had an affair before, pushing someone into the water didn't seem impossible.
"No, if the fifth prince really wants to kill someone, why would he do it in front of this maid? Isn't she afraid that the maid will testify against her?"
"Could it be that this was a dispute and that Miss Jiang slipped and fell into the water?"
"I know! The purpose of the fifth prince's concubine is not to kill people at all, but to harm others!" A female guest suddenly exclaimed.
"Is there any difference between killing and harming others?"
"Think about it, the fifth princess pushed Miss Jiang down, and then called a notorious man to rescue Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang's innocence was ruined, so she could only marry this idle man. Wouldn't this be harmful to others for life?
But it’s even more uncomfortable than killing Miss Jiang.”
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was happening. They all looked at the fifth prince and concubine with a bit of fear in their eyes, and they subconsciously took a few steps back.
The man standing aside heard the words and looked at the female guest who was speaking: "You know me so well, maybe you like me and want me to marry you home as your concubine? Tell me, how long have you been secretly in love with me?
"
"You, shameless villain! Whoever has a crush on you, whoever marries you is simply blind!"
The man didn't take it seriously: "It's not that you have a crush on me. You pay so much attention to my whereabouts. You even know that I am idle and have a bad reputation. You are quite well-informed."
"If you help her like this, do you think you really have some private deal with her?" the man said angrily.
"Oh, my relationship with her is not as good as my relationship with you. After all, we have already spoken to each other several times. Why don't you leave your name for this sister and I will come to propose marriage another day?"
"you!"
"Stop talking to him. This man has no shame. If you talk to him, you will lower your status."
"that is."
By this time, people in the front yard had heard the commotion here, and Yang Jie's wife had also arrived with people.
"Jing'er, what happened here? Why was Miss Jiang unconscious and soaked just now?"
Yang Jing looked at Hua Yanxi, who had been silent, and then at Gu Xiruo, and said, "We don't know the specific situation. We just saw Miss Jiang falling into the water and being rescued when we came over. Yan Xi is also here.
, Xiruo, who was a few steps ahead of us, said that she saw that it was Yan Xi who pushed the person down, and Miss Jiang’s maid also said the same."
"That's right, Mrs. Yang, the facts are before our eyes. The fifth prince's concubine attempted murder. She should be arrested and brought to court! We can't let her go so easily!"
"Yes, if she is given a lighter sentence this time, I don't know what she will do in the future."
Everyone said something, all of which were directed at Hua Yanxi.
Yang Jie's wife frowned when she heard this. She naturally didn't believe it, but now that someone said she saw it with her own eyes, she couldn't say anything for a while.
Gu Xiruo was her future daughter-in-law, and since she said so, she should naturally turn to her, but Hua Yanxi was the benefactor of the Yang family, and she didn't think she would do such a thing.
"Yan Xi, what happened, can you tell your eldest aunt?" Mrs. Yang Jie asked.
Hua Yanxi felt relieved when she saw that the eldest aunt of the Yang family did not blindly believe Gu Xiruo, her prospective daughter-in-law.
She didn't speak directly, but looked at Gu Xiruo: "The trees here are shady and the light and shadow are not good. Miss Gu, are you sure you saw it clearly? You didn't see anything wrong?"
As she said that, Hua Yanxi sighed: "It's true that I am not very popular. Since the incident, no one except my eldest aunt has wanted to question me as the person involved."
"What do you have to ask? The maid has already said that it was you who made the recommendation. Even if you want to argue that the maid is Miss Jiang's person's testimony is not credible, Miss Gu still saw it with her own eyes. What else do you have to argue with?
." The person next to him said sarcastically, deciding whether Hua Yanxi dared to do it or not.
Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows: "Then I would like to ask Miss Gu, where were you standing when you saw me push someone away? Can you replay the case for me?"
Gu Xiruo hesitated and said: "I, I was a little panicked just now, and I couldn't remember clearly for a while."
"Can't remember clearly? But you still remember that it was me who pushed the person down? It is said that once people see such a dangerous situation, their brain reaction will instinctively slow down, but Miss Gu can still remember clearly that it was me who pushed the person down. It seems that
, Miss Gu has seen this kind of scene often, or has she done it often, right?"
Gu Xiruo looked aggrieved and her hands were tangled together, looking pitiful and helpless.
"Ms. Gu, what do you mean? Why do you look like I bullied you? Now you want to accuse me, who is innocent? I haven't been wronged yet. How come you, the witness, are pitiful? Is it possible that I have to cry?
Show it to you?" Hua Yanxi looked at Gu Xiruo in surprise.
"Yan Xi, you mean you didn't recommend Miss Jiang, right?" said the eldest aunt of the Yang family.
Hua Yanxi nodded: "The injuries on her face were caused by me because she deserved a beating. But she fell into the water because she got angry and wanted to push me into the water, but she fell down. It's all her own fault."
"How can you say such cruel words? It's already wrong to hit someone, but you are still confusing right and wrong here. If you didn't push someone away, it's possible that Miss Gu wrongly accused you!"
The female guest said immediately.
Hua Yanxi nodded in agreement: "This girl is a sensible person and knows that Miss Gu is wrongly accusing me."
"You, I clearly didn't mean that."
"I understand, I understand. This girl is afraid that Miss Gu will hate me if she helps me. She uses such a roundabout way. We are all smart people and naturally understand this." Hua Yanxi said with a smile.
