Xie Qing stood on the shore, horrified: "Ying'er!"

Everyone was also shocked!

The person who fell into the water was actually Minister Feng’s daughter?

"Ying'er!"

Xie Qing was so anxious that she wanted to go into the water to save the person, but the maid beside her held her tightly: "Miss, you can't go! You can't swim!"

In a flash, a man in a gray robe suddenly rushed out from the crowd, jumped up and was about to dive into the lake!

There was a "dong" sound and water splashed everywhere.

But he stood quietly on the shore.

Honeysuckle pulled one of his arms and easily pinned him down.

Song Huai was stunned at first, then he flew into a rage: "Where did you come from, you dog slave! How dare you stop me from saving people!"

"If anything happens to Miss Feng, how many heads do you have to pay for it?"

"Let go of me now!"

Honeysuckle shook her head firmly, then pointed to the lake and said, "Don't worry, my lady has already gone into the water to save people."

Seeing Song Huai's unhappy expression, Ren Dong deliberately raised her voice and asked, "Young Master, you seem unhappy?"

“…No, no way!”

He didn't know if he was angry or embarrassed, but he shook off Rendong's hand.

He had missed the opportunity to save people, so Rendong let go of his hand and stopped holding him.

She looked toward the lake with some concern.

She didn't know that her young lady could actually swim!

The incident happened so suddenly that Shen Qiyin just hurriedly said to Rendong, "Stop the man who wants to go into the water," and then jumped into the lake with a "splash".

In fact, although Shen Qiyin overheard Xie Qing plotting with someone just now, she only heard a little bit of the "tail", so she had no idea who the other party wanted to harm or how they were going to harm him.

However, based on her own experience, she felt that the unlucky person might be Feng Ruoying.

I didn’t expect it to be true!

Shen Qiyin hugged Feng Ruoying and swam towards the shore. Ruan Xinghu also promptly arranged for maids and old women who could swim to come and help, and they finally managed to rescue them to the shore.

Feng Ruoying choked on the water and was a little unconscious.

Shen Qiyin knelt beside her, folded his hands on her chest, and pressed down regularly.

She was all wet, with water droplets dripping down her messy hair, no one knew whether it was lake water or sweat.

Everyone looked at this scene in shock.

Xie Qing tightly twisted the handkerchief in her hand, seemingly worried about Feng Ruoying, but actually she was angry!

Shen Qiyin!

She actually came to ruin my good thing!

According to Xie Qing's original plan, after pushing Feng Ruoying into the water, it should be Song Huai, the third son of the Marquis of Jianning's Mansion, who should have come to the rescue and saved the beauty, regardless of his own safety, and rescued Feng Ruoying to shore.

The life-saving grace is extraordinary.

To take a step back, even if Feng Ruoying did not fall in love with Song Huai because of this, but she was hugged and touched by him in public. Did she have any other choice except to marry him?

In return for helping Song Huai successfully marry Feng Ruoying, he would also secretly help her marry his elder brother, the second son of the Marquis of Jianning.

But such a perfect plan was ruined by Shen Qiyin's hands!

Damn it!

"Cough, cough, cough..." Feng Ruoying suddenly spat out a few mouthfuls of water, turned sideways and coughed violently.

Seeing this, Shen Qiyin withdrew his hand as if to break away, and was immediately hugged by Rendong.

Ruan Xinghu hurriedly ordered the servants to carry Feng Ruoying into the house to change clothes, and then boil ginger soup to drive away the cold to prevent her from catching a cold.

"Miss Shen, please move to your room and rest." Ruan Xinghu signaled the maid to come forward and support Shen Qiyin.

But she waved her hand and stood up with the help of Honeysuckle.

But when she stood up, something fell from her body.

A crisp sound attracted the attention of people around.

Xie Qing was quick to pick up the broken white jade hairpin and said, "Isn't this Ying'er's hairpin? How did it end up on you, Miss Shen?"

Shen Qiyin snatched it back: "I said she gave it to me herself, do you believe it?"

"Are you kidding me, young lady?" Xie Qing said, "How is this possible?" "You and your cousin have always been at odds with each other, how could she possibly give you a hairpin?"

"Because she has a good heart."

"This……"

Xie Qing was unable to refute for a moment.

If she agreed with Shen Qiyin's words, it would be equivalent to admitting that the hairpin was given to her by Feng Ruoying.

But if she refuted it, it would mean that she was criticizing Feng Ruoying in public.

Not to mention what her uncle and aunt would think if these words got to their ears, just the saliva of people scolding her for being "ungrateful" would be enough to drown her!

Shen Qiyin was clearly setting a trap for her!

Xie Qing naturally wouldn't take the bait, and instead talked about something else: "Could it be that you stole your cousin's hairpin because you were afraid of being laughed at if you continued to wear that fake pearl hairpin?"

"Making fun? Who made fun of me?" Shen Qiyin's eyes swept across the silent crowd one by one, and finally landed on Xie Qing's face: "Except for you, who made fun of me for wearing a fake hairpin with a smug look on your face, I didn't see anyone else making fun of me."

Xie Qing: "You..."

"Besides, I don't understand what's so funny about this?"

"I also believe that the young men and women in Shangjing City are not such vulgar and shallow people who like to expose people's scars for their own amusement."

"Oh..." She seemed to suddenly remember something: "I almost forgot, Miss Xie, you are not from Shangjing, so I guess this custom exists in your hometown of Bianzhou?"

Shen Qiyin's words not only offended Xie Qing, but also offended the people present.

No one wants to be known as "vulgar and shallow", so some people said: "Miss Xie, if you want to talk, just talk about yourself, and don't bring us along."

"That's right! We didn't make fun of Miss Shen. Even if we did, we were just saying that her brother didn't act like a brother!"

"Alas, if you put it this way, Miss Shen is also quite pitiful."

……

Everyone was talking about it, and some even dragged Shen Yaozu out to "whip his corpse", which made Shen Qiyin feel happy.

Seeing that the situation was developing in a way contrary to her expectations, Xie Qing was eager to get the topic back on track.

"I didn't mean to make fun of Miss Shen, but my cousin's hairpin did fall from you. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. I didn't wrongly accuse you."

"Since you said that you didn't steal the hairpin, what evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?"

"What about you?" Shen Qiyin looked at her calmly, "How can you prove that I stole the hairpin? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Or just because it fell off of me?"

"Then I would say that you slipped it into my clothes when I wasn't paying attention."

"You..." Xie Qing was simply shocked by Shen Qiyin's sophistry: "You are simply making up stories!"

Shen Qiyin: "Then report me to the police and have me arrested."

"you!"

Xie Qing's face looked extremely ugly.

Shen Qiyin walked up to her, smiled, and said meaningfully: "I thought Miss Xie would care more about Feng Ruoying's life or death than a hairpin."

Hearing this, Xie Qing was struck by lightning!

Oops!

Her hatred for Shen Qiyin made her lose her mind for a moment, and she even forgot to care about Feng Ruoying's safety.

Realizing that some people were whispering about this, he quickly turned around and tried to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shen Qiyin's body went limp and she was about to faint. Although Rendong managed to support her, she caused her to lose balance and she had to move two steps back before she could stand still.

But it was these two steps that actually knocked Xie Qing directly into the water!
