SPLASH!
"First Young Miss Shangguan and Second Young Miss Shangguan fell to the water!"
Su Ai Yuan was dumbfounded. She managed to stabilize herself, but she was now staring at the lake with her mouth wide open. Originally, she was planning on pulling Nan Hua into the lake with her.
How come the one in the lake ended up being Shangguan Mi and Shangguan Die?
She felt that the things that happened just now were not going to the script that they had painstakingly prepared. Her hand trembled as she turned to look at Nan Hua, who had somehow walked closer to the table and stopped in her track.
The expression on Nan Hua's expression seemed as if she was very surprised by what happened here.
"You…"
"kyaaa....!"
Before Su Ai Yuan could say anything, the other girls screamed as some maidservants jumped into the lake to save the two ladies. The lake itself was not that deep. However, it was only early spring.
The temperature was still relatively cold.
For the two frail ladies to fall into the lake like that, it would certainly cause an alarm to ring in the mind of everyone who were present. They couldn't let anything happen to either one of them or the consequences would be disastrous.
*cough* *cough*
Princess Hu's eyes turned red with malice. Seeing how her scheme failed even before she could do anything put her in extreme bad mood. She wanted to make things difficult for Nan Hua, but how could she do anything when there was another person trying to cause a scene?
She felt vexed.
However, her expression calmed down almost instantly as if there was nothing wrong. There was only worry in her expression as she looked at the two young ladies who had fallen to the lake.
"Are you alright, Miss?"
"Yes."
"What happened here?" Empress Dowager Mei and Empress Dowager Yan walked towards the group with other women. Most married women wouldn't try to talk with Princess Hu because it would only make things awkward. They would rather pick to talk with Empress Dowager Mei or Empress Dowager Yan.
Right now, their gazes were locked onto Shangguan Die and Shangguan Mi who looked like a mess.
The two of them were wet and even with blanket, it didn't completely cover their body. The makeup was washed off and their veils had gone sometime when they were in the water.
"It seems that the two of them are arguing about something, Your Highness." One of the nearby young ladies quickly bowed.
"Arguing?" Empress Dowager Mei furrowed her eyebrows. "This is not the place for you sister to argue."
"We k…"
"My apologies Your Highness. I'm only warning my sister that she shouldn't try to set her eyes on the young commander because he already had his betrothed. However, my sister didn't seem to care in the slightest bit," Shangguan Die was direct as she acted weak by leaning on her servant.
Shangguan Mi's body trembled. She didn't expect that Shangguan Die would even toss their method of talking to the back. The way she talked was very open and directly pointed Shangguan Mi to be someone who was coveting a taken man.
Even if her family no longer supported her after this, she would make sure that she brought Shangguan Mi down! freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
