Chapter 107: Scar Exposed
Surprised in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly helped Chi Ling up and asked in a low voice:
"What are you doing, but you're injured, where is the injury, hurry up and show me."
Facing Xiao Jinxuan's sincere care, Chi Ling turned his face a little uncomfortable, but warmth flashed in his eyes.
"Just now the eighth princess didn't know the nature of the water, so she sank to the bottom of the water, the spring water in the pool, it was very strange, to the bottom, the water temperature became cold and biting, I urged the internal force to the maximum, so I reluctantly took the princess, and swam up safely."
Xiao Jinxuan was surprised when she heard this, and just wanted to ask, when suddenly her grandmother's voice came from behind her.
"What are you doing here, I heard that the eighth princess is coming, and the old body has come to greet her, I don't know Her Royal Highness the princess, but here."
Before, as soon as the old lady arrived at the Guanyin Temple, according to the arrangement of the host, she went to the main hall with some noble ladies to incense.
Therefore, when she was done, she knew that Xiangping was coming, and heard from people around that the eighth princess was still with Xiao Jinyu, and it seemed that she was very unhappy.
The old lady, who was worried about her granddaughter, learned that everyone had gone to the back mountain to see the fountain, and she chased after her directly, regardless of her age, afraid that Xiao Jinyu would suffer.
But obviously, the old lady is still a step too late, because Xiao Jinyu has been thrown into the pool now, and she is soaking in water.
Xiangping fell into the water, and the red spirit rescued her, but Xiao Jinyu didn't have this treatment, she was in the water for a long time, and there was no one who saved her, fortunately she was familiar with water, otherwise she would have drowned.
Now as soon as she heard the old lady's voice, Xiao Jinyu immediately shouted for help.
"Grandmother, is it you, save Yu'er, the water in this pool is so icy, Yu'er is going to freeze to death."
As soon as she heard this cry for help, the old lady couldn't calm down, and was helped by Jin Chuan, hurriedly walked a few steps, and rushed to the side of the pool.
At a glance, now in the pool, Xiao Jinyu, who was struggling, the old lady's tears almost didn't fall, and then she shouted to the entourage she brought:
"Why are you still stunned, quickly save the young lady, if Yu'er has three longs and two shorts, the old body wants you to pay for your life."
The old lady spoke, but these entourages, still no one went into the water, it was not that none of them were familiar with the water, the main thing was that Xiao Jinyu was noble, if they went down to save people and touched each other, I am afraid that in order to protect the reputation of this young lady, the life of this person who went into the water will be difficult to save.
Just when the old lady was in a hurry and wanted to jump into the water by herself, Qian Yunhong's figure suddenly rushed out from behind the crowd, and then jumped into the water.
Xiao Jinyu, who was rescued, lay on the edge of the pool, looking at the old lady who was looking at her with a concerned face, and immediately the tears flowed.
"Grandmother, you want to be the master of Yu'er, I fell into the water, it was not an accident, but Sister Xuan pushed me, everyone present can testify to Yu'er, if I don't give me justice in this matter today, then my granddaughter I might as well jump into this pool of water and drown."
When the old lady saw that Xiao Jinyu finished speaking, she was about to jump into the pool, and she was so frightened that she immediately glared at Xiao Jinxuan.
"Jinxuan, what your sister said is true, she is your own sister, at a young age, why are you so vicious, you are simply not worthy of being a member of my Xiao family."
Xiao Jinxuan was busy comforting, hiding in her arms, Xiangping, who was crying non-stop, heard this, and didn't look up, but said without being salty:
"I'm not worthy of being a member of the Xiao family, what my grandmother said really made my granddaughter chill, you didn't ask the reason for the matter, and you decided that everything was wrong with Jinxuan, then I'm afraid I will explain something, you can't listen to it, since that's the case, how to punish it, you can do it."
The old lady, who was originally menacing, was almost choked by Xiao Jinxuan's words.
What does it mean to let her be punished casually, this is said, as if she is so domineering, the old lady looked at the people around her, looking at her whispering appearance, and immediately felt that her face could not be hung up.
"Jinxuan, grandmother didn't say that you were not allowed to explain, but no matter what the reason, there is no way to refute the fact that you pushed Yu'er into the water.
Helping Xiangping wipe away her tears, Xiao Jinxuan turned around calmly, looked at Xiao Jinyu, and said coldly:
"Back to grandmother's words, Jinxuan really didn't know her ********, when the princess fell into the water, no one around was familiar with the water, only my maid Huan Chi'er knew how to water, and she immediately went into the water to rescue, but Chi'er is just a female stream, on her own, she can't save the eighth princess at all, then I remembered, in fact, there is one person who knows water, that is Sister Jinyu, so I sent her into the water to save the princess, but I don't know why Sister Chang misunderstood, I actually think that I did it with the intention of targeting her."
Speaking of this, Xiao Jinxuan looked at Xiao Jinyu, who was looking at her with a stunned face, smiled lightly and continued:
"In other words, Sister Yan didn't plan to rescue the eighth princess from the beginning, so when Jinxuan sent you into the water, Sister Yan was so surprised, without the slightest preparation, and recognized that I was going to frame you, so I pushed you into the water."
As soon as everyone heard this, the eyes that originally looked at Xiao Jinyu and were still very sympathetic instantly became a little strange.
Xiao Jinyu knows how to water, this matter is actually well-known in Beijing, and it is said that she is both talented and beautiful, so Xiao Jinyu naturally has stunts.
And dancing in the water is Xiao Jinyu's best talent, and she once danced as a Beijing master and won the nickname of a mermaid in the water.
And as a citizen of Da Zhou, the princess is in trouble, but she is unwilling to save her, this is simply a heart-wrenching move, if it is really investigated, Xiao Jinyu's life will not even be saved.
And now Xiao Jinxuan is determined, she didn't push the other party into the water, but just sent Xiao Jinyu into the water to save people, no matter what her real motive is, at least on the surface, she did act at the opportunity to save the princess, not only is there no fault, but also meritorious.
So seeing this, in the matter of pushing or not pushing, in the debate, the most disadvantageous is Xiao Jinyu, the old lady chose it very wisely and kept silent.
But she wanted to take this matter over directly, but Xiang Ping, who had eased her strength, was about to erupt fire in her eyes.
I think she grew up with Emperor Ming, Concubine Liang was hurt, her brother loved her, and she grew up with a golden spoon, even if she was in the palace, when did Xiangping suffer such a big loss.
And just now, Chi Ling had already checked the brick and stone she was standing on, and it turned out that the brick could move up and down.
According to Chi Ling's analysis, this brick should be used as a place to release water during the rainy season, because the amount of water is sufficient, and it is worried that the spring water in the pool will overflow and wash away the koi raised inside.
And underneath the masonry, Chi Ling also found a small pedal, as long as he stepped on this board, he could control the rise and fall of the masonry.
And Xiangping didn't forget that the person who helped her stand on the raised white marble brick at that time was not Xiao Jinyu.
So there is no need to think about it anymore, Xiangping already knows who caused her to fall into the spring pool.
A few steps in front of Xiao Jinyu, Xiang Ping pulled the other party out of the old lady's arms directly.
"Xiao Jinyu, can you save this princess, you are so reluctant, since you are so reluctant to go down, this princess can help you."
What Xiangping was really angry in her heart was that Xiao Jinyu calculated that she entered the water, but she had no evidence for the previous incident, so she directly followed Xiao Jinyu, unwilling to save her, and was ready to let the other party suffer hardship.
didn't give Xiao Jinyu a chance to explain at all, so he saw Xiangping directly stretch out his foot, and kicked Xiao Jinyu, who was lying on the edge of the pool, into the water with a new kick.
Although this kick was kicked on Xiao Jinyu's body, the old lady who could see it just closed her eyes, and her originally peaceful expression would be completely cold.
"Eighth princess, my granddaughter, she didn't save you in time, she did something wrong, but now that you have been punished, can the old body save her."
With a relieved face, he looked at Xiao Jinyu splashing in the water, and when he heard this, he looked at the old lady.
When Xiangping and the old lady met their cold and majestic eyes, they involuntarily took a few steps back, biting their lips and not daring to speak.
Before, she was worried about Xiangping, the identity of the princess, so the old lady was a little polite, but Xiao Jinyu was her heart, even if the princess committed this taboo, the old lady didn't plan to endure it.
Seeing that Xiangping was stunned, he stood there for a while, no longer putting on the princess's shelf.
The old lady immediately looked at Qian Yunhong, who was standing aside, and said in a deep voice:
"Little Hou Ye, the old body still has to trouble you once, quickly rescue Yu'er, today's saving grace, my Shuai Mansion will never dare to forget."
It is a great thing to be able to inherit a favor from the Shuai Mansion, and Qian Yunhong, who was reluctant to Xiao Jinyu and Xiang Xiaoyu, immediately received the order, and without half a minute of hesitation, jumped into the water again to save people.
It didn't take long for Xiao Jinyu to be fished ashore, but she fell into the water twice, her physical strength was completely exhausted, and the last time she was pushed into the water by Xiao Jinxuan, she could still float on the water and call for help.
But the second time she fell into the water, Xiao Jinyu first cried for a long time, and then was kicked into the water by Xiangping, her abdomen was kicked painfully, and her limbs lost strength, so the whole person sank into the water If Qian Yunhong hadn't saved her quickly, she would have been drowned alive.
But now, Xiao Jinyu's life has been saved, but her hair is also scattered, and the thick bangs on her forehead have been messily opened a lot because they are soaked in water. Therefore, the scar hidden behind the hair is exposed at once.
When two people entered the water one after another, the people around them would have already surrounded the edge of the spring pool, so the scar on Xiao Jinyu's forehead was almost revealed, and someone immediately exclaimed.
"Look, what's on Miss Jinyu's forehead, why do you look so scary."
Speaking of this, it is a lady about forty years old, she is Mrs. Gu, the wife of the Hubu Shangshu, and this time she was also invited to come with her beloved daughter.
Almost before her words fell, Huang Ruoqi, who had originally come up to see the fountain with the ladies of various provinces, immediately said loudly:
"Mrs. Gu, I'm afraid I'm wrong, Miss Jinyu's forehead, it's not a scar, I see that it's a scar at all, it's really ugly, I am scared when I see it."
After saying this, Huang Ruoqi also made a gesture and dodged back, but the smile in his eyes did not hide it at all.
For a while, everyone, when they heard that the first beauty in Jingshi had a scar on their face, and they were disfigured, even if they were afraid of the identity of Old Madam Xiao, they still whispered, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinyu's face.
Xiao Jinyu was choked by the water, and when she reacted, what she saw was the strange eyes of everyone looking at her, and the endless whispers.
After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Jinyu finally reacted, everyone was talking about her forehead, and she was shocked, she hurriedly stroked her forehead, but instead of touching the bangs, she directly touched the scar.
Xiao Jinyu was stunned, she didn't know where she didn't know that the secret she didn't want people to know was completely exposed in front of people, and immediately screamed, covering her face with both hands, and trembling slightly because of fright.
