Chapter 488: Xiao Qingxi pushed her
On the other side of the river, under the willow trees.
In the crowd, Shen Wantang and Lin Rouxin stood side by side, watching the excitement over there.
Across the river, Xiao Qingyuan's roars could be heard one after another.
Shen Wantang had a blank expression on her face, while Lin Rouxin had a look of compassion: "He's drowning, so pitiful. The man who was holding him and asking for help was also so pitiful, crying so miserably, so helpless. The woman in his arms must be his most beloved woman!"
Everyone around was confused: "Who is he calling? Shen Wantang? Who is this person?"
"I don't know, but since he asked me to save people, he must be a doctor!"
"Oh, this kind of drowning person is the most difficult to save. An ordinary doctor can't do it. It takes an experienced old doctor to do it."
"Maybe the one called Shen Wantang is an old miracle doctor? Otherwise, why would he call her to save his life in such a critical moment?"
"That makes sense. Could it be that the old doctor is here too? Where is he? Help me find him!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the old man might be hard of hearing and can't hear, let's look for him together!"
……
Lin Rouxin glanced at Shen Wantang beside her strangely. Who said that a miracle doctor must be old? He can also be very young!
Unfortunately, no one thought that the miracle doctor would be a young man, let alone a woman.
Therefore, no one paid attention to Shen Wantang, because there were too many young women like her who were just watching the fun.
Shen Wantang didn't care about the discussions. She looked calm and her tone was emotionless: "Ms. Lin, how is it? Did you come here for nothing today?"
Lin Rouxin nodded: "It's really not a wasted trip. I'm afraid that Master Xiao doesn't know yet that the woman in his heart was pushed into the river by his good sister. When he finds out, his expression will be so wonderful! However, I think the excitement is not big enough. It would be better if it was a little bigger. For example, the one who fell into the water could be Xiao Qingxi."
Shen Wantang's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Lin Rouxin to hear: "But I remember Miss Lin specifically told me to save Xiao Qingxi's life so that you can take him away in the future."
"Well, I did say that, so I was just thinking about it just now. I didn't really want you to kill Xiao Qingxi."
"I didn't intend to kill Xiao Qingxi. She is still useful."
"What is the use?"
"Don't worry, you will find out. Today is just the beginning, and the excitement will be greater than you can imagine."
"I'm really looking forward to hearing that! Princess, why didn't I get to know you earlier? I suddenly feel like we met too late, as if we were close friends. What do you think?"
"I don't think so."
Shen Wantang said this lightly and left with her maid.
Lin Rouxin looked at her from behind, the corners of her lips slightly raised: "Mammy, you see, she is really amazing and interesting. No matter what others say, she will always say a few perfunctory words to me and be polite to me, but she doesn't even want to be polite. It's really scary, but it makes me feel inexplicably at ease. It's really strange!"
"Miss, maybe you like her because she doesn't play those fake games with you."
"Huh? Did I tell you I like her?"
"Miss didn't say it, but I can see that when you are with the Crown Prince's wife, you are very relaxed and your smile is much more genuine."
Lin Rouxin sighed softly, "It doesn't necessarily mean that I like her. It could also be because I'm always facing my enemies and I'm very tense. Shen Wantang has no grudge against me and has helped me before, so I feel better when I face her."
The nanny glanced at the other side and saw Xiao Qingyuan still holding Liu Nanshi in the same place, completely motionless. She couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Miss, is Miss Liu still alive?"
Lin Rouxin laughed, "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about? Shen Wantang invited me to watch a show. If Liu Nanshi were alive, what's the point of watching it? Is it just to watch her become a drowned chicken and then perform a sweet and loving show with Xiao Qingyuan? Isn't Shen Wantang asking for trouble?"
Mammy was stunned: "How could she be so cruel? She took a life in the blink of an eye?"
"I think she is very patient. She endured until her life was almost gone before she took action. Didn't Mammy know that? The three people on the other side all wanted to kill Shen Wantang. If Shen Wantang didn't fight back, she would die."
Lin Rouxin had a cold look on her face: "We should only blame these high and mighty princes and nobles. They are too bullying. They deserve to die!"
"Alas, I heard that the Crown Prince's Consort has not yet consummated her marriage with the Crown Prince. She is so beautiful, and she is very good at dealing with people. She is also a good housekeeper. Even someone as picky as the Ning Wangfei praises her highly. Why does Crown Prince Xiao look down on her?"
"It's possible that Xiao Qingyuan doesn't look down on her, but he always wants to go against his mother. No matter how good the Crown Prince Consort that Princess Ning picks for him is, he won't touch her. He insists on finding those that Princess Ning looks down on to prove that his previous choice was not wrong. If he accepts Shen Wantang, wouldn't it be like slapping himself in the face?"
"Then... Prince Xiao likes the Crown Princess?"
Lin Rouxin sneered immediately: "I think he doesn't like anyone, he just likes himself!"
-
Shen Wantang took a carriage and slowly returned to the palace.
Not long after she came back, Xiao Qingyuan also came back in a daze, and Xiao Qingxi came back with him.
By the evening, the news of Liu Nanshi's death had spread throughout the capital.
Elder Liu, along with Madam Liu and his three sons, stormed into Prince Ning's mansion and demanded that Prince Ning and Princess Ning hand over the siblings Xiao Qingyuan and Xiao Qingxi.
Shen Wantang stood beside her mother-in-law, listening to the accusations and scoldings of the Liu family without any emotion.
"You, the Ning Palace, are really going too far!"
Elder Liu was furious, pointing at Prince Ning's nose and cursing, "If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. You have raised a pair of vicious and lewd children. Aren't you afraid of being ashamed of our ancestors? Hand over those two poisonous creatures immediately, or I will quit my job and file a complaint against you in front of the emperor to seek justice for my daughter who died in vain!"
Madam Liu cried miserably, with endless hatred in her tone: "Why do you people in Prince Ning's Mansion treat my daughter like this? First, Xiao Qingyuan took my daughter at the Spring Banquet and ruined her reputation and innocence. Then, Xiao Qingxi pushed my daughter into the river today and drowned her! If there is any hatred between the two families, you come to me. Why do you bully my daughter again and again?"
Prince Ning and Princess Ning only knew that Liu Nanshi was dead, but they didn't know that her death was actually related to their daughter!
Princess Ning immediately said, "It's impossible. How could Qingxi push Nanshi into the river? There must be a misunderstanding!"
