The voice of Qingjiang Junzhu was not loud, but it made Cui Jianli's heart tremble with fear!

  She reacted quickly, "thud" and knelt down, crying: "Princess, I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have exaggerated the severity of the injury because I was afraid of Jiang sister's pursuit!"

  Jiang Muxun was almost driven mad by her - at this time, she still didn't forget to continue framing her and being unreasonable?!

  "For this, the county master personally came to visit and threw away his guests. Only then did he send someone to the imperial capital to invite another imperial physician?" Song Yi smiled with her eyes, hinting at her to be patient, and coldly asked, "I remember that Miss Cui is two years older than me, not a three-year-old child, can't even tell what's important? Where does this put the county master's kind hospitality?"

  Song Yi smiled and said a few words, and Cui Jianliang immediately pinned the crime of "contempt for the county master" on him. He felt that the gaze of Qingjiang County Master towards himself had cooled down a bit, and Cui Jianliang was so angry in his heart that he wanted to scold loudly!

  She had no choice but to appease the anger of Qingjiang County's master, otherwise if Emperor Xianjia found out, even Cui Guifei would be implicated, let alone save her!

  I could only hold back the urge to throttle Song Yixiao, and sobbed as I begged for mercy: "I know that Sister Jiang respects her grandmother the most, but unfortunately, I, a lowly maid, broke something that her grandmother left behind. Seeing Sister Jiang storm off on the mountain path, I was terrified! So... so just now, I thought of emphasizing my injuries, maybe if Sister Jiang pitied me, she wouldn't be so angry!"

  Knocking his head heavily on the ground, "I was only afraid of Sister Jiang, but I wronged the princess's kindness! I really deserve to die! Please, Princess, punish me!"

  Jiang Muxun's words were interrupted again by Bao Jing's subtle pinch.

  The room fell silent, with everyone kneeling on the ground, not daring to lift their heads. All they could see was Qingjiang County's mistress slowly fiddling with her golden hairpin. After a long while, the county mistress finally spoke: "At my age, it wouldn't be right for me to be too calculating with you young girls."

  Choi saw the pity in her eyes and redoubled his efforts, knocking his head on the ground: "I know I was wrong! Please forgive me, young mistress..."

  "But I won't pursue it, you guys need to get things clear between yourselves." Qingjiang Junzhu sneered, "Don't speak in riddles in front of me, you all came here today, more or less you should know some inside information! This banquet was set up by me, but under the meaning of which few people, you all have a number in your hearts... Such a gathering has already caused trouble, if we don't even clarify the truth, I won't be able to show my face outside from now on!"

  Looking at Cui Jianli's embarrassed appearance, Jiang Muxiu felt a great sense of relief and said with a smile: "As for what the county master said, it is indeed true that Cui Jianli slandered me..."

  "Huh?" The words were suddenly interrupted by Qingjiang County's master, her eyes icy cold!

  Jiang Muxin's smile froze on her lips, and she was at a loss for what to do. Just then, Song Yi spoke up in a soft voice: "As the county master's words have been misunderstood, let me explain what really happened: Miss Cui's servant accidentally broke the hairpin that Jiang's grandmother had left behind. Later, when Jiang went to ask Miss Cui about it on the mountain path, she slipped and fell, but fortunately Jiang immediately came to her rescue, although a step too late! Luckily, Miss Cui is fine and will be able to rejoin us soon!"

  Jiang Muxun looked at her incredulously, wanting to say something but was pinched by Bao Jing and couldn't make a sound.

  The lord of Qingjiang sneered: "And then?"

  "Jiang sister doesn't hold grudges and generously lends a helping hand, even if it's not successful, but I think the Cui family will definitely show some appreciation." Song Yi smiled and pursed her lips, "Otherwise, people from afar can't see clearly, what if they misunderstand Jiang sister? The Cui family is a high-ranking family in this dynasty, how could they do such a thing?"

  "Is that so?" Qingjiang County Master narrowed her eyes and asked in a light tone.

  Cui Jianlian gritted her teeth for a moment before responding in a low voice: "Yes!"

  Jiang Muxun's face turned iron-green for a while, and under Bao Jing's gaze that seemed to want to spit blood, he reluctantly nodded.

  Obviously, she was very dissatisfied with the unjust accusations against Cui Jianyun!

  But the hostess of Qingjiang County didn't intend to reason with her, seeing that they had already unified their statements, she dropped a sentence: "Since there's nothing else, let's wrap things up and end the banquet, although it's dispersing quickly, you're all late in appearing, and it's inevitable that rumors will spread!"

  She stood up and everyone was busy sending off the county master. As a result, Qingjiang County Master had already walked out a few steps when she suddenly stopped: "Song Yixiao? You come with me!"

  Song Yi laughed in surprise, Jiang Muqin hastily said: "Princess, this has nothing to do with Miss Song..."

  "Shut up!" Qing Jiang's mistress scolded her for her attitude just now, without being polite at all. "How can I summon whoever I want, and still need your permission?!"

  Bao Jing was so anxious that she wanted to die, and she dragged Jiang Muqin back to life. She repeatedly apologized to the princess on her behalf: "Princess, please calm down! My young mistress is ignorant, I beg you to forgive her!"

  The Qingjiang County Master didn't have the mood to bother with Jiang Muxiang either, so after stopping her, she simply flung out an arm: "Come here!"

  Song Yixiao could only give Jiang Muxin a "calm down" look, and obediently followed her.

  The mistress of Qingjiang County led her to a secluded and elegant house instead of returning to her seat.

  As soon as she entered the house, the county master ordered everyone except Song Yiliao to retreat. She sat down behind the screen and didn't speak, turning the golden armrest while sizing her up from head to toe.

  Song Yi Xiao actually couldn't quite get a read on this young mistress, so she could only observe her carefully and stand up straight with poise.

  After a while, Qingjiang Junzhu finally withdrew her gaze and coldly snorted: "Are all these ideas yours?"

  "...... is!" Song Yi smiled and heard her determination in her inquiry, not daring to perfunctorily acknowledge it.

  "The county master of Qingjiang asked with a playful tone: 'How did you think of using snakes to scare Cui Xianluo?'"

  "I saw her fall clearly." Song Yi smiled and pursed her lips, "She used the skills from dance, nothing will happen to her."

  "How did you guess she would pretend to be ill?"

  "I think she's similar to Jiang sister in status, if she dares to frame Jiang sister, she must not have only suffered minor injuries, otherwise what reason is there to investigate further?" Song Yi smiled and looked down, "But the young master has a royal physician here, all other injuries are hard to fake, only being unable to get out of bed is something that can be done... even if it's known that she's fine, it's very difficult to prove with words. That's why this plan was devised, to find a snake with its venom removed to scare her."

  Her words were half true and half false - since Cui Jianlian fell off the mountain path, Song Yixiao knew what she was up to. Most likely, she had made a deal with the Princess of Nanzheng: she would help the princess get rid of her love rival Jiang Muxian; in return, the princess would help her clean up the aftermath.

  But in the end, Cui Jianlian's goal is to lose at today's banquet!

  The reason for her defeat, outsiders may not know, but Song Yixiao almost lost his life because of this, how can he forget?

  Hengshan Wangfu's third son, Lu Guanlun.

  The Choi family hopes to produce another princess or future empress, but what Choi Jianian has been thinking about is obviously this cousin.

  So she didn't care at all and fell down the mountain path, and was happy to take the opportunity to pretend that she couldn't get up, anyway she was eager not to be selected.

  However, for this reason, whether it was in front of Jiang Muxing and Bao Jing or to the current Qingjiang Junzhu, Song Yixiao did not plan to reveal a single word.

  After all, when this matter is revealed, although Cui Jianlian has troubles, Lu Guanlun will also be affected. The Hengshan Wangfu raised her for a while, and Lu Guanlun still took good care of her, how could she repay kindness with enmity?

  Fortunately, the mistress of Qingjiang County seemed to have never heard of such rumors either, and she appeared to accept her explanation, saying: "That maid is not my person, did you find her or was it Jiang Muxiang?"

  "It was Bao Jing who found it." It wasn't that Song Yi Xiao didn't want to take responsibility for Jiang Mu Qing's side, but something happened on the territory of Qingjiang County Master, and the county master would still not be clear after investigating? So she didn't need the county master to continue asking, and honestly confessed everything. "The snake was also brought by Bao Jing."

  She had a certain admiration for that treasure, and the fake servant girl from the Chun Pavilion was nothing to be surprised about. After all, Jiang Muxiu's social circle was vast, and among the guests who came to the banquet today, she could always find someone bold enough to share her guilt in deceiving the young master.

  But in a place like this, she actually managed to get a venomous snake with its fangs removed - Song Yi laughed and still didn't know how she did it?

  It can't be that you're just pulling it out of thin air, right?

  It seems to have sensed her thoughts, and Qingjiang Jun suddenly said: "That snake is our Ping'an's."

  Song Yi smiled and looked confused, the county master's mouth hooked up, "Ping'an is my only son, he is not in good health, so the emperor gave him this Spring Occupying Pavilion to recuperate; he likes this kind of thing, so I let people prepare some for him to play with. Bao Jing should be looking for someone from the pavilion's servants, borrowed it from him."

  Song Yi Xiao suddenly realized, but her heart was also filled with some surprise: "The county master's daughter was fine just now, why did she tell me what her son is doing?"

  Especially since she had never heard of the son of Qingjiang County Master - it seems that this noble young master named "Ping An Er" is indeed in poor health, otherwise, with his family background, even if he was mediocre, how could he be unknown in the imperial capital?

  "So that's how it is, I haven't thanked the young master for his generous help yet." Song Yi smiled, unable to guess Qingjiang County Master's intention, or rather, her instinctive ominous feeling made her unwilling to make a guess in a certain direction. She suppressed the panic in her heart and lowered her eyes to say.

  Qingjiang Jun Zhu faintly responded, narrowed her eyes for a moment, and asked: "If Jiang Muqian hadn't blocked the way today, with all the spearheads pointing at you, what would you have done?"

  Song Yi smiled and said: "I'll go down with her!"

  "What if she still says you pushed her?"

  "Miss Cui's status is far more noble than mine, how dare I lay a hand on her?" Song Yi smiled and pursed his lips. "Besides, no matter how injured she gets from the fall, Miss Cui lies down for one day and I lie down for two days, lies down for a month and I lie down for a month and one day - in short, I get hurt worse than her, injured more severely than her, and lie down longer than her. After all, it's all because of saving her!"

  *Sigh* "If Miss Cui is going to be like this, then I have no choice either."

  Qingjiang Jun stretched her mouth, revealing a mixture of anger and amusement: "She dares to make trouble at this critical moment, obviously she doesn't care about the consequences. But you, aren't you afraid of wasting your youth?"

  "But Miss Cui is two years older than me." Song Yi smiled sincerely, "I think she shouldn't waste her two-year youth just to keep up with me - even if she's willing, the Cui family wouldn't agree!"

  "It's a good thing you have an idea." Qingjiang County Master narrowed her eyes and nodded, "You go back to your seat first, and advise Jiang Muxian. I let her calm down not just for myself! Can't she think about the consequences of causing trouble in this gathering? How many people will be affected? Can she bear so much resentment? She's really been spoiled by the Jiang family!"

  Song Yi Xiao respectfully replied and was about to withdraw when a faint cough suddenly came from behind the screen!

  She was startled, and the Qingjiang County Master also suddenly turned her head, sternly asking: "Who?!"

  "Big sister!" Jian Yu Bai spoke out, and naturally had no intention of continuing to hide. He walked out from behind the screen with Ji Su, and said in a big and forthright manner, "Originally thought to rest here for a while, didn't expect big sister to come in just right."

  The lord of Qingjiang saw that it was his own brother and let out a sigh of relief, then angrily asked: "What are you doing here?!"

  She set the banquet on the mountain waist, which is like what Nanzhang Jun thought, to get a broad and peaceful mind? What she meant was to let this little ancestor look down from the pavilion above and see clearly!

  As a result, this little ancestor actually ran to the pavilion below the square - if Song Yixiao was not still here, Qingjiang Junzhu would have started rolling up her sleeves long ago!

  "I still have some things to do tomorrow, and I'll be back in the capital soon." Jian Yu Bai nodded slightly as if he hadn't seen her expression, then walked out, "Please take care of other matters, sister!"

  Qingjiang Junzhu thought he was still not listening to advice, got angry and stood up, just about to scold him, but unexpectedly Jian Xu Bai stopped beside Song Yixiao, stretched out his hand to untie the yellow jade pendant with a palace belt from his waist and handed it over to her.

  Song Yi smiled awkwardly.

  The mistress of Qingjiang County is also petrified!

  "Other things, I'll have to trouble Big Sister with!" Jian Yu Bai waited for a moment, seeing Song Yi Xiao staring blankly at him, her thin lips slightly curled up. He simply reached out and pulled her hand over, stuffing the jade pendant into her palm and closing her fingers around it before letting go. Only then did he turn back to Qing Jiang County Master and repeat, "Big Sister handling things is what I'm most at ease with!"

  After finishing speaking, he swaggered away with his hands behind his back, leaving Song Yi and Qingjiang Junzhu staring at each other in shock. They didn't react until the figure in snow-blue cloak completely disappeared through the door!
