C45

By the time Madam Feng and Xiu Ying arrived at the Kang Ning courtyard, the last sliver of light on the horizon had already been swallowed up by the darkness.

Walking on the veranda, Xiu Ying heard the crying sounds. When she got closer, she also heard Shen Guan crying as he said that she was pushed away.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Shen Guan fell into the water with her little sister and was pushed down, and that was Shen Lian's doing.

Madam Feng naturally heard it as well. With pursed lips, she crossed the threshold of the door with the little girl's announcement.

Inside the house, Shen Lian was trembling in Old Lady Shen's arms, her hair still wet. Shen Yu Guan was standing beside her, his hair was disheveled, and his red eyes were glaring in front of him. It was unknown whether his little face was red due to anger or crying.

Madam Feng paid her respects to Old Lady Shen and half a salute to Madame You. She didn't miss the resentment in her eyes. Madam You was the kind of lady who would always speak in a gentle voice. She would neither fight nor fight with others for their tempers. Her expression made Madam Feng's heart thump.

On the other side, Shen Guan held Xiu Ying's hand, "Big sister, she was the one who pushed me into the water and then jumped down with her!" As she spoke, she started to drop the golden bean. She looked as wronged as she could possibly get.

Push someone into the water and then jump in?

This kind of thing where you hurt yourself and your enemies 1000 times, that's the most common method Shen Lian used, in her previous life she did this a lot. Who would have thought that a woman would be more ruthless to others and herself!

Xiu Ying completely trusted her cousin's words. She raised her head to look at Madam Feng, only to see her mother's gentle and elegant face was calm, causing people to be unable to see her emotions.

How could she make her mother believe it?

"Xiaoxiao, don't cry first. When aunty finds out, we won't let her suffer any grievances." At this time, Lady Feng bent down and gently stroked Shen Guan's little head, her voice extremely gentle.

Shen Lian, who was in Old Mrs. Shen's arms, cried. The old man patted her on the back and said to Madam Feng: "Boss' daughter-in-law, I've already asked about this. Besides, where is there anyone who wants to harm me?" "The second girl also doesn't know how to swim, so how could she have jumped? If it wasn't for my wife at that time, both of their lives would have been in danger."

Old Madam Shen had already said these words when Madam You arrived. Even as Madam You listened, her face couldn't help but darken. Her Xu Guan wouldn't say she was a flustered child, but this grandma was biased and didn't understand why Shen Lian would jump down with her.

She knew that it was the Feng Family who had come, so she decided to drop the matter in the end. Therefore, when she saw the Feng family, she didn't have much hope.

"What if she dared to jump in because there was a wife at that time?"

Madam Feng's voice was as clear as a pearl falling on a jade plate.

Old woman Shen was startled by her words. With a dark face, she said, "Eldest son in law, your words are too inappropriate. I know you don't like concubines, but you can't be like this …"

"Grandmother, I know how to tell if my second sister jumped, or if they fell together." Xiu Ying suddenly had a flash of inspiration and interrupted.

Old Madam Shen's expression turned uglier and uglier. She felt that the mother and daughter pair were obviously targeting a concubine girl, so they could show their favor to the second wife. Maybe the Feng family still remembered their hatred because they wanted to make her look bad.

The candlelight in the room dimmed as it reflected on Old Lady Shen's face. She wavered and wavered, but the shadow of her disciple only added to her gloom.

Xiu Ying was no longer afraid of her affectionate father, so she naturally did not care about Old Lady Shen. Ignoring her expression, she continued, "The weather hasn't been hot recently, and the mud by the lake is slippery. This footprint was definitely different from the one he had jumped in. Even if a woman jumped into the water later to save him, there would still be traces of her falling, neither increasing nor decreasing. "Now you can tell by looking at the place where the lake fell.

The Shen Mansion's lakeshore was paved with stone bricks, but it was five steps away from the lake, and those five steps were filled with mud and round gravel.

Xiu Ying's cleverness surprised everyone on the scene, and Madam Feng also felt that this method was feasible. She immediately called for a wife and asked Old Lady Shen if she could also let the people from the Kang Ning courtyard go, so that only one side wouldn't be able to say for sure.

Old Madam Shen's face heated up at Madam Feng's words.

The more gracious Madam Feng was, the more it was evident that she wasn't favouring others. Old Madam Shen could only grit her teeth and send Mama Qi along as well.

Shen Lian did not expect things to turn around and she was so scared that she forgot to cry.

How did she follow him into the water just now? She must have jumped straight into the water.

If she was found out to have been pushed down... Shen Lian thought about the cold eyes that Madam Feng had cast at her that day and felt a chill down her spine.

No, I can't let them see that!

Shen Lian had already started to panic, Old Lady Shen sensed her trembling hands and thought that she was scared by the Feng family, so she wanted to comfort her. Before she could finish her sentence, she saw her granddaughter get up from her arms and kneel in front of her.

"Grandmother! I really didn't push my third sister into the lake on purpose. It was because I lost my balance that I jumped into the water to save my third sister. But I forgot that I don't know how to use water either... Grandmother, I don't dare to play around by the lake anymore! "

The young lady who had been crying so much just a moment ago, as if she had suffered a great grievance, now turned over her confession!

The old wives who were about to head to the lake stopped, using their eyes to look at Madam Feng to ask if they should check if she wanted to. Madam You's complexion had already changed as she stood up. She knew it was Shen Lian lying!

She actually pushed her way into the lake!

What was he trying to do? Was he going to kill someone?!

"Nonsense! You're clearly angry from the embarrassment. You know that the young master of the Du Family is the big sister in the heart, and you're jealous to say bad things about your big sister." I was only angry at you for saying a few words, but you pushed me down into the lake! Last time, you pushed big sister Chen in the garden! He also blamed it on his big sister, asking her to apologize! It's all your fault, you must have a really bad mindset! "

Hearing that Shen Lian was trying to make things difficult for him, Shen Yu smiled and stomped his feet in anger.

When the crowd heard her words, they were even more surprised. Previously, they had kept asking her why she was quarreling, but the two of them hadn't been able to explain it clearly. Now, hearing about more than one matter. How could he not be astonished and apprehensive?

Old Madam Shen looked at her granddaughter kneeling on the floor in disbelief, as if she didn't recognize her.

Shen Lian started crying again, "Third sister, you scolded me first for learning to be a fox, I was too angry and pushed you away, that's why I jumped down to save you." For other things, what did Big Sister Chen have to do with me? You framing me like this was just because you were angry that I pushed you away. "But when I jumped down to save you, even if I were to die, I would have paid with my life."
