But as everyone thought back, it didn't seem impossible. After all, this sort of thing was common in the circle of nobles. Once it was successful, no one would know about it. If it wasn't, then …
If a mere princess failed to frame herself, would she commit suicide? It was obvious that she couldn't convince others, but when she thought about it again, Huangfu Family was a very subtle thing to do with one's identity in the Shan Nation … Everything seemed possible again.
"Don't speak nonsense!"
Huangfu Yunrou panicked when she heard that it had something to do with her family. However, as a person who only knew how to play all day, how could she understand the conflicts in her family.
"I'm not spouting nonsense. She suddenly jumped into the water. I couldn't even stop her …" "Howl …"
Huangfu Yunrou didn't believe it even more, but this Cen Shuang’er insisted that Princess Qimeng jumped into the water herself, as she was throwing dirty water on her Huangfu Family. She gave Cen Shuang’er several looks, wanting her to stop talking nonsense.
However, the only way for Cen Shuang’er to deal with this was for Qi Meng. How could she be willing to listen to her? She kept saying that Qi Meng was the one who jumped in and framed Dongfang Ning.
Huangfu Yunrou was so angry that she didn't know what to do, so she could only say:
"Don't say anymore. When she wakes up, she will have her own judgement. If it wasn't for what you said, let's see how the princess will punish you!"
At this moment, Wei Zheng hurried over. Princess jumped into the water? He didn't believe it.
"Someone, call them all back to the pavilion. Miss Cen, tell us what happened here." He then called for someone to record his actions.
When Dongfang Ning rushed back to the pavilion, Wei Zheng had already memorized everything Cen Shuang’er said, but he didn't quite believe it. Although Princess Qimeng was a bit naughty, she definitely wouldn't dare to do anything harmful, let alone commit suicide.
"Cen Shuang’er, do you have anything else to say?"
As soon as Dongfang Ning arrived, she directly asked Cen Shuang’er. When she saved Princess Qimeng earlier, Cen Shuang’er's boat was at least fifty meters away from where Princess Qimeng fell into the water. Obviously, Cen Shuang’er had pushed her into the water.
"Princess Anning, don't accuse me wrongly. What right do you have to say that I murdered Princess Qimeng? She jumped off herself …"
Cen Shuang’er was going to put her life on the line this time. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death to come. Although she was very afraid in her heart, her desire to live had suppressed her fear.
She still held onto that last sliver of hope, hoping that Yan Wuyou could kill Qi Meng at this moment … Only then would he die without a proof.
However, how could Dongfang Ning, who had already been angered, give her such a chance?
"You said she jumped into the water herself. Where were you? I flew into the water to save her just as your voice sounded. If you had called for help later, Qi Meng would have died, but you miscalculated a step, you didn't expect me to go into the water so quickly, and saved her accurately, and you can't even say that she was suffocating and shocked, can you think that I would have been able to save her?
Do you really think she won't wake up?
Someone, bring Princess Qimeng here! "
"No, no, impossible! She can't possibly survive! Impossible!"
Dongfang Ning's calm words mercilessly struck at Cen Shuang’er's frightened heart. She did not believe that Qi Meng would wake up so early. She did not believe it!
"You're in a state of confusion. I'm too lazy to discuss any evidence with you, too lazy to waste my time telling you these lies of yours that are full of loopholes. Let Qi Meng tell them herself!"
"No, she dived into the water herself. It wasn't me who pushed her, it wasn't me! Fang Ning, don't taint me!"
Cen Shuang’er shook her head and backed off. Her expression and words were obvious to anyone who heard it. This Cen Shuang’er was so daring that she dared to harm the princess.
"How dare you, Cen Shuang’er! How dare you do something like plotting against the princess! Someone, seize her!" order the Prefecture Overseer to immediately send people to investigate this matter! "
When Wei Zheng heard this, he immediately thought of the events that had occurred. How could he not understand the crux of the matter? It seemed like the person who framed Princess Anning was this woman, but how did she get those snakes?
There was no time for him to think any further. He gave the order to capture the person first.
"Princess Anning, this is an important matter. This subject will first return to the palace to report to the Emperor. As for the matters here, how do you think …"
Dongfang Ning was no longer in the mood to care about some garden party. Why would a snake appear here?
"Today's garden party will be held another day. Let them all return. I will take care of the rest myself."
Dongfang Ning didn't want to get involved with the court. If they dared to harm her, then she would have to deal with them in her own way.
"Since that's the case, we'll do as the princess has said. All the talented girls should return first. If today's matter gets out, I'll definitely investigate it!"
Wei Zheng bowed to Dongfang Ning first, then he gave a stern warning to everyone before leaving in a hurry.
And Cen Shuang’er was still not convinced that Princess Qimeng would not wake up. She had to find a way to get Third Prince to get rid of Sofia, or it would all be over.
"Wuu …" "I didn't. Yun Rou, go call my mother. I didn't harm the princess, I didn't …"
"Stop quibbling. Yun Rou has nothing to do with this matter. Why don't you take her away?"
At this time, Huangfu Feiyang called for someone to take Cen Shuang’er away and then looked at his daughter. He knew in his heart that his daughter must know something.
Huangfu Yunrou hadn't said a word since Wei Zheng had arrived. She had opened the back door for Cen Shuang’er, and now that Shuang’er had put the blame on Qi Meng, what else could she say?
She suddenly hated herself, blaming herself for not being careful when making friends …
At the same time, she hated Dongfang Ning even more, and it was all her fault. If not for her, all of this wouldn't have happened, but she didn't expect that everything that happened here today would have brought about such a great calamity to the Huangfu Family.
"Yun Rou, you go back immediately!"
Huangfu Feiyang knew that this would be troublesome. A poisonous snake with West Ridge Nation had appeared in the garden, who knew what the emperor would think of his Huangfu Family.
He had a headache right now, how was he supposed to explain all of this to the Emperor? He was so annoyed that after sending everyone away, he returned home listlessly.
"Fang Ning, let's go back together!" Wei Qingxian and Zuo Qingqing had been following Dongfang Ning quietly. Seeing that the matter was settled, they didn't say much and just went up to ask Dongfang Ning to go back with them.
"Alright, let's go!"
"That Cen Shuang’er is really malicious. As long as you're fine, Fang Ning," the three of them chatted and laughed as they left.
After their date that day, Madam Wang chatted with the two girls for a while and asked them to take Dongfang Ning along with them in everything they did. Madam Wang also said that her daughter had a straightforward personality, and that she didn't want to be involved in any matters yet and wanted to ask for more protection.
