Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Xu Qing heard this, she looked at Qiao Yanqi as if she was looking at an idiot. Who was the one who had been sent out of the Qiao family by Qiao Yanhui, and despised by the Eldest Princess for being unmarried? How ironic. Had she subconsciously forgotten? How ridiculous.

Xu Qing couldn’t be bothered with Qiao Yanqi. She looked at Jin Zhi and Sun Mi, who were walking over. There were many people following behind those two people. It was obvious that they were here to cause trouble. After all, these two people had lost face today.

When Qiao Yanqi saw this, a vicious look flashed in her eyes. She definitely had to get rid of Xu Qing.

“Sister-in-law, do you like the flowers in the Eldest Princess’ residence? It’s my fault that I forgot to introduce them to you. These are all precious varieties from various countries. I’m afraid it’s rare for you to see them.” Jin Zhi’s eyes were filled with arrogance. In her opinion, even if Xu Qing was talented, so what? Xu Qing could read books to learn, but there was some knowledge that she couldn’t possibly have. This was because Xu Qing was on a completely different level from them! Xu Qing was a lowly peasant. It was like a branded mark that could never be changed.

“How can I not go when I have the Royal Consort Jin Zhi’s invitation? It’s just that I have a habit. When others introduce flowers, every flower’s introduction has to be accompanied by poetry. Otherwise, it’ll be boring.” Xu Qing smiled gently, but it made people grit their teeth in hatred.

Jin Zhi recalled how Xu Qing looked when she was coming up with poems just now and smiled awkwardly. A few of the other women behind her couldn’t help but secretly snicker. Jin Zhi glared at those people and didn’t continue to admire the flowers anymore. Instead, she asked the people beside her to get some fish food and distribute it to everyone.

“I think the fish in this pond are jumping around too much. They’re probably starving. Ladies, we have nothing to do, so let’s feed them.” Jin Zhi approached the bridge with some fish food in her hand.

“Yes.” Although those ladies didn’t understand what she wanted to do, they didn’t dare to refute and accompanied Jin Zhi to feed the fish.

Xu Qing also had some fish food in her hand. She was looking at Jin Zhi with a faint smile as she strode to the side of the small bridge and threw the fish food into the fish pond. At the same time, she looked around. She wanted to see what these women were up to. She hoped that it would be something interesting this time. Otherwise, she would be too bored!

As Qiao Yanqi glared at Xu Qing’s back, she thought that as long as she found an opportunity, she would push Xu Qing down! In any case, there were so many people here, so they definitely wouldn’t suspect her! Even if Xu Qing didn’t drown, she could at least scare her. Moreover, the mud in the pond was very deep. Perhaps it could entangle Xu Qing and drown her.

At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the crowd. Someone seemed to have tripped and everyone immediately started pushing people around.

“Ah! You stepped on me!”

“Help!”

Qiao Yanqi found the right timing and quickly pushed Xu Qing’s back. At the same time, other people pushed Xu Qing as well.

However, Xu Qing had already noticed all of this. She leaned forward and since Qiao Yanqi exerted too much force, under the influence of inertia, Qiao Yanqi fell into the pond.

Xu Qing quickly turned around, and the others who pushed her fell into the pond.

For a moment, there were all sorts of wails and the scene was chaotic.

“Help!”

“Hurry up and save my lady!”

“Save my madam!”

“Jin Zhi, help!”

“Royal Consort Sun Mi, be careful!”

Xu Qing nimbly hid behind the crowd. There were two figures beside her. They were Qiao Yi and Qiao Er.

“Master, Qiao Yanqi, Jin Zhi, and Sun Mi pushed you,” Qiao Yi said respectfully.

Xu Qing chuckled. She thought that there would be some new trick. In the end, this was it? They didn’t dare to bear Qiao Yanhui’s anger but wanted to hurt her, so they seized the chance while there were many people.

Unfortunately…

Xu Qing smiled. There would be a good show later! She didn’t believe that these people just wanted to push her down. They definitely had a backup plan. She put something on the face of the person who was standing the closest to her and tried to push her down…

With so many noble ladies falling into the pond, the Eldest Princess’ residence was naturally full of chaos. After all, which of the guests today didn’t have a noble status? No matter how exalted the Eldest Princess’ status was, it would be difficult to explain if anything happened!

After everyone was rescued ashore, they arranged rooms for them to change their clothes.

Qiao Yanqi didn’t choke on that much water, but because there were many people and the mud was very thick, she was already frightened out of her wits. Coupled with the spring breeze, she was shivering from the cold. However, even so, she couldn’t conceal the joy in her eyes, because she had just seen that “Xu Qing” had also fallen in and was already unconscious!
