Long Yue smiled gracefully and stepped forward: "Shut up? Lady Jinfu, aren’t we of the sa rank? What gives you the right to tell to shut up?"
Zhi Jin tightened her fist, suppressing the urge to punch her, gritting her teeth: "Just because you’re a daughter born out of wedlock!"
"Oh, I’m a daughter out of wedlock. And you, Lady? What are you, a stray dog?"
"You..."
Zhi Jin wished she could tear Long Yue’s mouth, and just as she was about to attempt it, she suddenly saw a figure approaching from the distant corner!
Her eyes turned, flashing a sinister look, she stepped forward a few paces, standing just inches away from Long Yue.
"Wei Yunyan, do you think winning with re words is victory?"
"Oh? What else? Lady Jinfu, if you can’t even win a war of words with , how will you compete for favor?"
"Bitch!"
Zhi Jin, humiliated, grabbed Long Yue’s wrist forcefully, pinching her, causing Long Yue pain as she struggled slightly.
"Let go! Lady Jinfu, if you continue like this, don’t bla for being rude!"
"Heh, Wei Yunyan, you are nothing special!"
Having said that, Zhi Jin fell backward.
Below was a lotus pond, Long Yue hadn’t exerted any force, yet she fell down?
"Ah, Lady!"
The palace maid by Zhi Jin’s side imdiately scread, shouting, "Help, soone help, the Lady has fallen into the water!"
"Outrageous!"
Following this was an angry shout from behind.
Long Yue turned around to see Rong Si walking gracefully, while Yin Li scolded her.
"Greetings to the Princess!"
Long Yue hurriedly saluted.
Rong Si looked coldly at this Lady Ming Fei, truthfully, she found it hard to see through her, feeling a strange familiarity with her figure?
Yet this familiarity felt strangely unfamiliar?
If she had exchanged words with Lu Zhi, she might have noticed sothing.
How could two people feel soone is familiar yet unfamiliar?
While Rong Si stared at Long Yue lost in thought, Zhi Jin had already been pulled up, drenched and looking quite pathetic; with the heat, her clothes clung to her, revealing her figure.
Yin Li, having worked with Zhi Jin before, felt slightly empathetic seeing her in such a state, instantly calling soone to give her a robe to cover up.
Simultaneously turning to Long Yue, she sternly said, "Lady Ming Fei, Lady Jinfu cannot swim well. Are you trying to harm her? If it weren’t for the Princess passing by, would there be another corpse in this lotus pond by tomorrow?"
Long Yue blinked slightly, smiling: "Aunt Yin is joking, Lady Jinfu fell herself, it has nothing to do with ."
"Ridiculous, Lady Jinfu would fall herself? Are you treating us like three-year-olds to deceive?"
This Aunt Yin really has power, she speaks while Rong Si stays silent.
Long Yue extended her wrist, showing a red mark, eyeing Rong Si: "Princess, Lady Jinfu argued with for a bit, unable to win, she got angry and started a fight. I only struggled slightly due to the pain on my wrist, I did not push her."
"Are you joking, Lady Ming Fei? When did I pinch you? That red mark, did you make it deliberately fearing punishnt?"
Zhi Jin, seeing Yin Li backing her, imdiately felt more confident, pretentiously wiping away tears.
Her body was soaked, resembling a drenched chicken, she didn’t need to shed real tears, just wiping her face was convincingly enough.
Yu Zhu watching her act, felt angry, others might be unclear, but she saw clearly that Zhi Jin willingly grabbed Long Yue and fell by herself.
She stepped forward, ready to speak but was signaled by Long Yue to refrain.
Long Yue wasn’t stupid, she could see through the situation?
Yin Li and Zhi Jin had previously served the Princess, surely there’s emotional connection, even if the Princess had abandoned Zhi Jin, she must show compassion in front of others.
Always claiming, she’s good to her subordinates.
Therefore, even if Zhi Jin falsely accused Long Yue, the Princess would say Long Yue pushed her into the water.
After all, it was just Long Yue and Zhi Jin here with their palace maids, who else saw it?
Even if soone did see, who would dare gossip?
Long Yue was definitely taking the bla!
Feeling a bit exasperated, why do these won all like using such low tactics?
Previously, Wei Yundai was like this, now Zhi Jin too, laughed!
"Lady Ming Fei, we saw you push Lady Jinfu into the water, what have you got to say?"
Wow, they’ve already decided, still asking if I have anything to say? Can it be less fake?
Long Yue realized no matter what she said, it wouldn’t work, so she said simply, "Since both the Princess and Aunt Yin saw, I have nothing to say!"
The words were dual-purpose, openly saying they were deliberately framing her!
Yin Li looked at Long Yue coldly, this Lady Ming Fei sure is bold, does she think that having the Emperor’s favor ans she can act recklessly?
But she doesn’t consider, lately the Emperor has been lingering around Princess Consort Jing, she’s soon to be out of favor!
Yet still arrogant?
Yin Li secretly drew a cross on Long Yue in her mind, while Rong Si looked at her differently.
Especially seeing Long Yue stubbornly raise her slender white neck, the unwilling yet resigned look reminiscent of awaiting execution, suddenly "pfft" she laughed.
This Lady Ming Fei surely has character!
Inadvertently, Rong Si recalled her youthful self, finding so resemblance with her.
Is this why she felt familiar seeing her?
For so reason, Rong Si developed a slight affection towards this Lady Ming Fei.
But liking is liking, she wasn’t a sentintal woman, she weighed the pros and cons in her actions.
Since she declared that Lady Ming Fei pushed Lady Jinfu into the water, punishnt was necessary.
But certainly not making her soak in the water too?
Rong Si glanced around, casually saying, "Since you realize your mistake, you should correct it, kneel here for two hours and reflect!"
It’s already near Xu hour, kneeling for two hours will take her to midnight.
But since Rong Si had spoken, Long Yue had no choice but to kneel.
Seeing Long Yue punished, Zhi Jin felt extrely satisfied, she respectfully watched Rong Si leave before approaching the kneeling Long Yue.
"Wei Yunyan, even you have your day?"
Zhi Jin spoke word by word, her malicious face really angered Long Yue!
Long Yue gently patted her own back, smiling faintly: "Lady Jinfu only knows to use such low tactics? You think you won today? Actually, the Princess knows everything, but just for old-ti service, she grants you face!"
"Hahaha..." Zhi Jin hearing Long Yue bluntly say it, wasn’t panicked, instead laughed outright, "Yeah, the Princess gives face, what, you’re mad right? Dissatisfied right? Hahaha..."
Long Yue pursed her lips, smiling slightly: "Just hope you won’t consu the little remaining bond between master and servant!"
"You..." Zhi Jin glared at her, raised her hand intending to hit, Long Yue casually remarked, "Princess, why have you co back again?"
