Chapter 16: The Reappearance of the Edge (Addition)
Ling Yufei didn't expect Meng Ruolan to pull her into the water, and quickly thought about what to say in her heart so that Ling Yuwei could be convicted without affecting herself.
"Back to the emperor, Fei'er was only interested in enjoying the beautiful scenery by the lake just now, and she didn't notice what happened between her sister and Miss Meng at all." Ling Yufei slowly walked in front of the emperor and said unhurriedly.
As soon as Ling Yufei's words were finished, a flash of disappointment flashed in Meng Ruolan's eyes, and her hands couldn't help but clench, could it be that Ling Yufei was unwilling to help her?
But judging from her words, it didn't seem to mean to help Ling Yuwei, what did she want to do?
"However, there are only two sisters and Miss Meng by the lake just now, I believe that my sister definitely did not have the intention to push Miss Meng into the lake, and please don't blame my sister for it." Just when everyone was in surprise, Ling Yufei spoke again.
There was a sneer on the corner of Ling Yuwei's mouth, this Ling Yufei was really scheming, she said this on the surface to help herself, but in fact, she had already convicted herself.
She was indeed very thoughtful, and after saying this, everyone probably already decided that she had pushed Meng Ruolan into the lake. And her intercession for herself in front of so many people will also make people think that she values love and righteousness.
"Your Majesty, Queen, this matter couldn't be more obvious, it must have been Ling Yuwei who pushed the little girl into the lake." Meng Xiao took this opportunity to affirm Ling Yuwei's crime even more, and he could see that the queen was still more protective of her.
But Ling Yufei also said just now, there were only two people in the lake at that time, Ling Yuwei and Meng Ruolan, it couldn't be his daughter who jumped into the lake by herself, right?
And Leng Wuchen, who was standing on the side, heard all this, and a smile quickly flashed on his face, he knew that Ling Yuwei still liked him, otherwise how could she attack Meng Ruolan?
For some reason, thinking that Ling Yuwei still liked herself, Leng Wuchen's joy in his heart couldn't be suppressed.
"Wei'er, tell me what's going on?" The queen found that Ling Yuwei had never defended herself, but she looked very calm, and the queen was even more sure that she had been wronged.
"Aunt Queen, in fact, if you want to know if Wei'er did this, you only need to look at Wei'er's hands and Miss Meng's clothes." Ling Yuwei came to the emperor and the queen without being surprised, and said lightly, without a trace of fear in her clear eyes.
If it were other women who encountered such a thing, they would have been frightened a long time ago, but Ling Yuwei's face had always been so calm and calm.
"Ling Yuwei, you ruthlessly pushed me into the lake and still want to see my clothes? What kind of heart do you have in peace? Although Meng Ruolan didn't know what Ling Yuwei meant, seeing her so confident, her heart began to panic a little.
"Wei'er, according to what you said, I will restore the truth of the matter to everyone." The queen didn't pay attention to Meng Ruolan's words, but said to Ling Yuwei gently, the queen believed that she must be completely sure to say such a way.
"Look at my hands, and remember what they look like now." Ling Yuwei showed her white hands in front of everyone, and then walked towards Meng Ruolan, who had been helped up and sat in the chair.
"What are you going to do, don't touch me......" Seeing Ling Yuwei getting closer and closer to her, Meng Ruolan was a little scared, especially when she saw the cold light flashing in Ling Yuwei's eyes.
Ignoring Meng Ruolan's resistance, Ling Yuwei gently touched her wet clothes with both hands that she hadn't had time to change.
"Now look at my hands, what do you see?" Ling Yuwei showed her hands in front of everyone again, she believed that they would see something different.
"Wow, that's a lot of gold dust ......," at this time, someone in the crowd already shouted loudly, and the others echoed it.
"Yes, it's gold dust, so why didn't I have gold dust on my hands just now, but now it's covered with gold dust?" Ling Yuwei's good-looking eyes shone with a smart light, which seemed to be even brighter than those gold dust.
"Because this gold dust is from Miss Meng's clothes, I just touched her clothes with both hands and it was stained with gold dust, so if it was really me who pushed her down the lake, then my hands would also be stained with more gold dust, but in fact there is none, what does this mean?" Ling Yuwei saw the doubts in everyone's eyes, so she explained them one by one.
"Maybe you pushed the little girl into the lake and immediately washed off the gold dust on your hands?" After Meng Xiao listened to Ling Yuwei's words, she also touched Meng Ruolan's clothes with her hand, and the result was indeed as she said, her hands were full of gold dust.
"Okay, then I'll convince General Meng." After Ling Yuwei finished speaking, she walked quickly towards the lake, then put her hands into the lake and washed fiercely.
"Vier, be careful." Seeing this scene, Zhao Jingyi shouted with some concern, but she believed that her daughter must be innocent.
"Don't worry, my daughter is fine." After washing, Ling Yuwei gave Zhao Jingyi a reassuring smile, not wanting her to worry about herself.
"Look, that's what happened when I washed my hands vigorously." Ling Yuwei once again showed her hand that was still dripping with water to everyone, and she didn't believe that she couldn't prove her innocence this time.
"It's so strange that the gold dust hasn't been washed off." The people present had already begun to have different opinions, and they all saw Ling Yuwei put her hands in the water to scrub them, but why hadn't the gold dust been washed off?
"This is a special kind of gold dust, once it gets on your hands or body, it is difficult to remove, and after encountering water, not only will it not fall, but it will become more and more sticky, if it is really me who pushed Miss Meng into the lake, how can the gold dust disappear so quickly and so cleanly?" Ling Yuwei said the final conclusion, as to whether she pushed Meng Ruolan into the lake, she believed that everyone present should know in their hearts.
"Meng Ruolan, why did you wronged Wei'er?" The gentleness on the queen's face had long since disappeared, replaced by a somewhat frightening sharpness, and after listening to what Ling Yuwei had just said, she was already completely sure that Meng Ruolan was lying.
"Queen Mother, Lan'er didn't lie, it was really Ling Yuwei who pushed Lan'er into the lake." Meng Ruolan's heart became more and more nervous and scared, but there was no turning back if she had already chosen this path, she had to continue to bite Ling Yuwei.
"Miss Meng, don't you know what happened to you now?" At this time, a casual but very nice voice floated into everyone's ears.
