Eldest Miss Xue ignored Miss Zhang and Miss Xue San. She crouched down and helped the young maid up. A six or seven year old child, when had he ever seen such a scene before? She helped her up herself and stood next to Eldest Miss Xue.

"Sister Zhou" called for the person beside her, "Take her down there to find a doctor, don't leave a scar on his face." A young daughter-in-law wearing a green armor with a woman's bun came up and took her from the Eldest Miss. She accompanied a few young maidservants down the hall.

Although Eldest Miss Xue didn't say anything, she was really annoyed in her heart. She ignored Miss Zhang and only pulled her fifth younger sister to walk in front. Behind them, Second Miss Xue and Fourth Miss Xue walked side by side, whispering to each other from time to time.

Ms. Zhang pulled Miss Xue San in front, the two of them seemingly unaffected by what had just happened. They pushed each other, pinched each other, and chased after each other as if they were sisters.

After Big Miss Jiang and I made up our minds, we followed behind the two of them slowly. Big Miss Jiang said that because of her family background as a martial general, she attached special importance to Scrolls.

I replied smilingly, "She values her books even more than that young lady from the scholar's house." Miss Zhang suddenly scuttled out and said, "I wonder if the daughter of the Shang Jia Family is like those poor scholars and cannot fight in the military, following those poor scholars and writing poems!" The Yang family was a business, the Jiang family was a martial general, but they valued the upbringing of their children, and the Xue family was a century-old scholar.

Miss Jiang's expression was extremely unsightly, while Miss Xue's expression was also unsettled. I pretended that I didn't hear her as I raised my foot to walk around her.

"Why didn't you answer me?" Miss Zhang suddenly grabbed my sleeve, causing me to stagger a bit, but I didn't fall down. When I turned around, I abruptly snatched the sleeve out of her hand. "Did the dog bite me or do I have to lie on the ground and bite the dog?" The mocking smile on my face angered Miss Zhang and made others laugh.

"Who are you calling a dog? Who's a dog! " Miss Zhang was still young and looked extremely weak, but her strength was astonishing. She was taller than me. She grabbed the front of my shirt and shook me. The ladies and servants were all shocked by her actions and hurried to block her. The path to the pavilion was originally narrow, so they couldn't escape. Big Miss Xue also noticed the abnormality on this side. The people around her shouted for her to move, but there was nowhere for them to do so.

It was unknown who pushed me in the chaos. Warm hot spring water soaked my body. The only thing I could be sure of was that it wasn't Ms. Zhang who pushed me.

The spring wasn't deep, it was about my waist, and the warm water steamed around me, and my drape floated like a flower on the surface of the water, so heavy that I couldn't stand on it. When Lu Ping saw me fall into the water, she also jumped down and came to my side to help me up.

On the shore, Miss Zhang looked panicked for a moment before she confidently stared at me. Third Miss's pure white face broke into a smile as if it had nothing to do with her. Miss Jiang looked exceptionally anxious as she squatted on the shore and shouted, "Do you need anything more?"

"I'm fine. It's just that my clothes are wet. Can Elder Sister Xue come over for me?" I raised my head to comfort her. After all, they were all inner chamber women, and I couldn't help but be flustered by such matters regarding reputation. After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, I was able to recover my senses. Because the water was not deep enough, if I stood up, Chunchang would stick to me, so I could only squat in the hot spring. This kind of action wouldn't last for very long.

"Sister Yang …" Miss Xue brought Miss Xue Er to the shore. With a pale face, Miss Xue immediately understood why I didn't stand up. "Both of you go down and help Miss Yang." The eldest young mistress directed the two women by her side. It was obvious that they were shrewd and strong. The two women immediately jumped down and replaced Green Pingping to support me.

"Sister, wait a moment!" Miss Xue's face was full of apology. "I've already sent someone to get the warm sedan. I'll go to my room later to change." Miss Xue suddenly remembered that I was still young and short. "Go to Little Four's room and get a warm set of clothes." The little girl beside her quickly ran away.

"Elder sister will send the other young misses back first!" I gave Miss Xue an understanding smile. She was not to be blamed for this matter. With such an incident, the garden would naturally not be visited anymore. It would be transmitted to the ladies soon. If the other misses were not arranged, Miss Xue's reputation as a fool would spread.

"Ling'er, bring everyone back to the banquet." Second Miss Xue nodded. "I'll go get Fourth Sister and Second Miss Jiang as well." Eldest Miss Xue nodded slightly. This was a sign of sisterhood.

Miss Zhang gave me a look, but didn't say anything. She shook her handkerchief, turned around and left with her maidservants without waiting for the others. The second miss glanced at her back and ignored her, attaching her hand to big miss Jiang's hand, saying hesitantly, "I'll stay here to accompany little sister Yang." They stopped on the shore.

"Elder sister, go ahead." "It's hard to talk, Miss Xue. If I fall into the water, others will only think that she didn't take good care of me." Second Miss Xue continued to persuade her. "My elder sister has always been a dependable person. Don't worry, elder sister! It's about time for the ladies in front to begin their seats. In a while, Second Miss Jiang went with my fourth sister but didn't see my elder sister. The amount of people who knew that Miss Yang fell into the water is even greater. " The Second Miss was very smart, her words were all on point.

Miss Jiang didn't hesitate any longer. She gave me a worried look before following Second Miss. Only Miss Xue and the servant girl by her side were left on the shore to accompany me. The eldest Miss was extremely anxious. "Why aren't you here yet?" The servant woman beside him was submissive.

"Sister, don't be anxious. It can't be that I'm the one who bathed in elder sister's hot spring." Despite the laughter in my mouth, the waves of chills still made me shiver.

"Look, your lips are already white." Eldest Miss Xue ignored the servant that stopped her from taking off her clothes and passed it to the servant by her side, telling her to put it on for me. Because it's a banquet, all the ladies are wearing thin clothes for the sake of being pretty, I am still warm in the hot spring. She is wearing a spring shirt and standing in the cold wind, I'm afraid that she is really going to get sick.

"Hurry up and put it on for big sister!" If Miss Xue really fell ill because of me, then she really would get into unspeakable trouble. She originally wanted to befriend the Xue family, but she actually offended them. However, Miss Xue insisted on not putting it on and was unable to make up her mind.

"Miss, please put this on Miss Yang." An elegantly dressed maidservant passed a greyish-green slip to the Eldest Young Miss. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Isn't this …?" He did not reach out to take it.

"This matter is urgent. The young misses' bodies are very delicate, it would not be good if they caught a cold." The maidservant was clearly holding onto the clothes of a man, but she didn't retreat in the slightest.

Big Miss Xue put on the big white dress given to her by the maidservant. It was long and big, obviously meant for men. I smiled. The young lady who had received an education from the soldiers also looked down on Shang Jia in her heart, she didn't want her brother to be related to me in any way.

He had experienced so many bitter and sweet things in his previous life, and many of the things that he thought he would never change for the rest of his life had disappeared. I had been bitterly waiting for the son of the Xue family to give me a title, but he didn't come even when I was dead. He didn't do anything wrong, he just didn't do anything and already hurt me.
