Xia Weilan's shout quickly attracted a lot of people, after that, a few guards jumped down to save them. The maidservant were gathered in a circle, the noisy crowd attracted even more people.

Today's incident was going to blow the whole thing up. Xia Weilan thought, her face revealing a look of worry and anxiety, she shouted to the guards who were trying to save them: "Be careful, you must not hurt Second Miss."

The more people gathered, the more crowded it became. No one knew which meddlesome person called for Xia Zhengyan to come over, while Second Aunt followed. Seeing that the Master had arrived, they all moved to the side to avoid him.

"Yuying, aiyo, all of you, clean up!" Second Aunt shouted anxiously to the river, but he could only stomp his feet in worry.

Seeing that his father and mother were both here, he pointed at Xia Weilan and said, "It's her. She was the one who pushed me down this time, Daddy, Big Sis wanted to harm me!" As he spoke, the tears in his eyes became even more intense, and he looked as if he was feeling sorry for her.

Only then did everyone turn to look at Eldest Miss, for Xia Weilan was also completely drenched, and was trembling non-stop, but she still managed to squeeze out a few tears.

"I, I didn't, when I went ashore, Sisters was already in the river, and I knew she couldn't water, so I quickly called for people." Xia Weilan purposely spoke in a softer tone, "Sisters, I have always been good to you, how can you accuse me so wrongly in front of my father?" Her face was also filled with a wronged and wronged expression.

The Second Aunt passed over the kernels that the Subordinate brought over, wiped off the water on Xia Yuying's body, and then covered her with a blanket. He stealthily glanced in Xia Weilan's direction, and then reprimanded him: "Yuying, that's your Big Sister, how can you say that?

Xia Weilan scoffed inwardly, she actually knew how to conduct herself, the latter half of her sentence was said extremely cleverly, the words "no matter what you say" quietly confirmed the crime of pushing Xia Yuying into the water, it was obvious that her words were accompanied with a knife, yet she could pretend to be understanding and understanding the situation, it was truly admirable. If she had said those words to her in her previous life, he would have already shed tears of gratitude for her. What a pity …

"But it was really her who pushed mother."

Xia Weilan knew that she should not speak, and she started to make the expression more lively.

Xia Zhengyan looked left and right, his fox like eyes squinted, causing Xia Weilan to be drenched in sweat. With her usual personality, he definitely would not do such a thing, although he knew the truth of the matter, he still ordered: "Xia Weilan, do you know your wrongs?"

Xia Weilan had yet to speak.

Xia Zhengyan immediately answered: "Go kneel in the sun for four hours." With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Xia Weilan's heart was filled with grief. Thinking about it, this kneeling today was unavoidable. Actually, everyone could see that the Master was biased towards the Second Miss.

Xia Yuying was still not satisfied, she pouted with a wronged look on her face.

Xia Weilan revealed a smile, "I was the one who did not take good care of Sisters and let her fall into the water. She should be punished, Sisters must pay attention to her body and not catch a cold."

Everyone followed Second Aunt and left.

The afternoon sun was scorching hot, and after kneeling for less than two hours, Xia Weilan's mouth was dry and her forehead was covered with a layer of sweat. Fortunately, she had just fallen into the water, so she managed to get rid of the cold.

Xia Weilan was still kneeling, but in front of the Hou Mansion — —

A man dressed in green stood in front of the door, a personal bodyguard following behind him. The man's handsome face was somewhat pale, and his lips were trembling slightly. Even so, his actions were still extraordinary.

"decedent." The guard behind him took a step forward and looked straight at Ling Jue's chest.

Traces of blood seeped out of the cyan Clothes and the wound that he had just wrapped up split open again.

Ling Jue was originally out hunting, but who knew that he would encounter a group of black-clothed Assassin s on the way. All of them died, and only the two of them remained in this unprepared group of people.

Ling Jue held onto his chest, and raised his head to look at the Hou Mansion's plaque. At this time, he could not let anyone know that he was injured, and the mastermind had to be investigated, and he could not alert the enemy.

"Rest here. Go and buy some medicine. Remember not to let anyone else know that this decedent is injured."

The guard cupped his hands and retreated.

When the domestic servant s in front of the Hou Mansion saw the medallions on his waist, they all cupped their hands and bowed, then quickly went to invite him over.

Ling Jue did not want to attract attention this time, so he entered the Hou Mansion and walked to the backyard.

Xia Weilan was still kneeling in front of the door, how could this sun be so ruthless, she extended her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead, she continued to kneel and did not say a word.

As soon as Ling Jue entered the backyard, he saw this kind of scene. He only felt that this girl's body was a bit stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. He clearly couldn't even kneel down anymore and could easily act weak. Moreover, her clothes didn't look like those of a lowly person.

Unknowingly, Ling Jue's footsteps had already neared Xia Weilan.

"And tell me what you did?" Ling Jue's pale face revealed a rare touch of a Smiling. He had originally thought that the identity token he had on him was enough to prove his identity. Who in the world didn't know his name?

It was a pity that Xia Weilan was dizzy and just kneeling. She did not see anything and stared at Ling Jue, "What are you doing?"

How could this girl be so bold? Ling Jue was just about to ask for forgiveness.

Xia Zhengyan hurried over and said humbly: "Greetings, Your Highness decedent."

Ling Jue retracted his gaze, and let out a faint "En". He had never liked people like Xia Zhengyan who were attracted to others.

So it's the decedent, Xia Weilan thought to herself. In her previous life, she had heard that he was the only legitimate son of the Battle-King, so she never expected to meet him due to her esteemed identity.

"Why is this girl kneeling here?" Ling Jue asked.

Xia Zhengyan immediately replied respectfully, "This is my daughter, it's just a matter of sisters."

"What is it?" Ling Jue was naturally in the mood to dig deeper.

Xia Zhengyan could only explain the sequence of events.

It was unknown why Ling Jue just wanted to help Xia Weilan. After hearing it, Ling Jue couldn't help but say: "Then I think she doesn't need to kneel. Although this is your Hou Mansion's family business, and I am not in a position to interfere, but in this Heavenly Emperor Palace, everything has always been pure and clean. Emperor and Father have always been displeased."

These words were very clever. To be able to pull two big shots with a single sentence, this was something that he had no choice but to deal with.

Xia Zhengyan had no way of rebutting it, he could only bow his head and listen respectfully.

"If Eldest Miss pushed Second Miss, why did she have to work so hard to get her clothes wet? She would have probably run off to the side long ago to avoid being implicated, and would also have an alibi to avoid the punishment, so this decedent thinks that —" Ling Jue's eyes flashed, his meaning was very clear.

"Yes, yes, yes." Xia Zhengyan understood, but he was dissatisfied in his heart. This was originally a family matter or something related to his decedent, but he could only apologize with a smile, and with his left hand, he helped Xia Weilan up, "This old man did not think it through, but wrongly accused Xiaolan, and I, your father, have done wrong."

Seeing that, Xia Weilan had a good impression of decedent, thinking back to how he spoke to him just now, she felt extremely guilty and regretful. She immediately lowered her head and said, "Father is too serious."

Pausing for a moment, she kneeled down with a "plop", "Father's punishment is also reasonable. After all, as the Big Sister, I did not do well. Maybe I didn't do it well enough, that's why Yu Ying framed me like that. "
