"What nonsense are you talking about? Who helped you?" The woman was extremely polite.
Now she doesn't believe that the fifth prince's concubine has nothing to do with the Xu family's concubine. They are both equally shameless.
Hua Yanxi blinked at her, put her fingers on her lips and shushed, then continued: "Miss Gu said that she saw with her own eyes that I pushed Miss Jiang into the water, but from her angle, she could only see
My back, she can’t tell whether I’m pushing others or protecting myself, right?”
Gu Xiruo pursed her lips and said reluctantly: "I really didn't see it, but..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Hua Yanxi: "Apart from Miss Gu and this maid, no one else should be so smart and discerning that I recommended them, right?"
The others were so angry at her attitude, but they were speechless.
They really didn't see it.
Hua Yanxi nodded: "Then Miss Gu cannot be counted as a witness. As for the maidservant, she is Miss Jiang's person. Can her words be believed?"
"You've been saying it for so long, even if they saw it, it's useless. You just want to excuse yourself."
"No, I'm looking for the truth." Hua Yanxi said.
Immediately, she walked to the pond and squatted down, pointing at the mud and said: "Look, here are a few pairs of footprints. These are my footprints. These are Miss Jiang's footprints. At that time, the maidservant was three steps away from us.
This place belongs to your maid."
"What can these footprints mean? Could it be that the footprints can also tell us who pushed whom?"
"Okay." Hua Yanxi said firmly.
"As you can see, the footprints were originally about one foot wide, but then became only about an arm's width away. That's because I suddenly rushed up and punched Miss Jiang. She took a step back, and I punched her in the abdomen again.
She took several steps back."
Hua Yanxi squatted there and pointed at the footprints on the ground carefully to reenact the case, but she didn't notice that the people around her looked at her strangely.
There was also the sound of gasping air.
How could this woman be so cruel and yet be so cruel and justified?
It was obvious that she was the one who hit someone, yet she told the story so frankly, without any trace of guilt on her face.
Ms. Jiang was beaten like this, and her fate was high even if she didn't die after falling into the water.
Hua Yanxi ignored the others and continued: "Look here again. Miss Jiang took the initiative to walk here. It is only a palm away from the edge of the pond. Her steps were steady. It was obvious that she was not dragged by me. Although I stepped forward
, but always kept a foot away from her."
"What about these messy footsteps? Can you clearly see who pushed whom? The footsteps are already in a mess." Gu Xiruo was afraid that these people would be fooled by Hua Yanxi, so she quickly reminded her.
Hua Yanxi shook her head: "This messy footsteps should be what Miss Gu actually saw. Here, Miss Jiang suddenly moved out of the pond step by step. Although the steps were smaller than before, it could be seen that they were smooth and orderly.
It was not because I was coerced but because I acted on my own initiative. Instead, I walked over from the side and got closer and closer to the pond."
"Fifth Princess, can you tell me the important point? You are doing this step by step. Are you two dancing by the pond?" A female guest said impatiently, feeling confused.
Hua Yanxi looked at the speaker and said calmly: "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. You are all virtuous people. It's normal if you don't understand. It doesn't matter. I'm talking to people who can understand."
When the female guest saw Hua Yanxi praising her so much, her expression immediately softened and she said nothing.
Naturally, many people understood the connotation of Hua Yanxi.
Even those who felt impatient could only endure their anger and continue to listen to her reconstruction of the scene.
After all, no one wants to admit that they have no talent.
For a time, everyone became extremely "well-behaved".
Hua Yanxi continued: "Look, Miss Jiang's footprints are suddenly heavier at the front than at the back. This is because she put her weight on the front and stretched out her hands to push me. At this time, I moved a little.
According to inertia, Miss Jiang fell down."
"So, I don't know whether Miss Gu really saw it or faked it. The truth of the matter is this. After Miss Jiang was beaten, she became angry and wanted to push me to retaliate, so she fell down." Hua Yanxi was very angry.
Frankly and honestly.
However, everyone looked at her as if they were looking at a fool.
"You didn't push Miss Jiang, but it was because you hit her first." Gu Xiruo expressed everyone's feelings.
Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows: "But isn't the reason why you want to arrest me for questioning just because you misunderstood me and pushed her into the water?"
"..."
It makes sense, but they can't refute it?
"Now that you know it was not me who pushed it, should we forget about it and let it go? As for the matter of me hitting Miss Jiang, that is a personal grudge between us, so we don't have to worry about it, right?"
"That seems to be the case, but why do I feel like something is wrong?"
"Me too, I always feel like she did something wrong, but I can't tell. It feels so strange."
Some people were talking secretly, but no one really criticized Hua Yanxi.
Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, Gu Xiruo quickly said: "But even if this is the case, it is wrong for you to hit someone. If you hadn't done it first, she wouldn't have been so angry that she wanted to push you into the water and finally slipped and fell.
Everything started because of you."
Hua Yanxi looked at Gu Xiruo: "Miss Gu, are you very dissatisfied with me? Are you targeting me?"
"Fifth Princess, you are worrying too much. This is not for targeting, but to seek the truth. If you hadn't hurt her first, she would not have fallen into the water and been saved by such a person. Do you know that a woman's honor is
How important." Gu Xiruo made an impassioned speech, and everyone woke up one after another.
That's right, is this talking about the matter of pushback or not? What we are talking about now is that Miss Jiang's innocence was harmed by a libertine because of this incident.
"Then what do you want?" Hua Yanxi narrowed her eyes and stared at Gu Xiruo.
Before Gu Xiruo could speak, she suddenly saw a person rushing out of the jungle nearby, and instinctively took a few steps back.
Hua Yanxi saw the person clearly, and the person who jumped out was none other than Ye Yibai, who she had been looking for for a long time but could not find.
Hua Yanxi glanced at that place. How long had he been hiding there secretly?
Ye Yibai ignored it and rushed towards the Xu family's concubine, took out something from his arms and showed it in front of everyone.
It's a handkerchief and a plum blossom hairpin.
He pointed at Gu Xiruo and the concubine of the Xu family: "She gave this to him."
