Chapter 63 Arrive
"Corruption Catching Brigade" Oh no, it's the people who were called over to rescue people who finally arrived.
Su Zijin turned around and looked over, only to see a large group of people. The leader was an official lady that Su Zijin had never seen before. Xue Baozhu, who was usually a bit out of touch, was inconspicuous behind this lady. Behind the two of them , there are several noble ladies, they are very eye-catching, they must be the wives of officials sitting at the bottom.
Bright palace lanterns poured like water on the edge of this silent lake. Just now, the moonlight seemed clear to others, but now under the two rows of lights, the details of each person's face became clearer.
"Sister Zijin, why are you here? Sister Yinglan, what's wrong with you? There are water stains on your hair and face. Could it be that you were the one who fell into the water just now? This is strange. Sister Yinglan has always been afraid of water, so why did you come close? By the lake?”
Xue Baozhu walked forward with concern on his face, naturally squeezed in between Su Zijin and Ji Yinglan, and helped Ji Yinglan look up and down.
"Mr. Cui, why are you here? Aren't all the men in front of the Qiande Palace? We just heard a palace maid shouting that someone had fallen into the water and came over quickly. Unexpectedly, Mr. Cui came earlier than us!"
Everyone on the scene was a bright-eyed person. Cui Lingchuan, who shouldn't have been there, appeared here alone, as well as Su Zijin. She and Cui Lingchuan were ex-fiancées. For a moment, everyone looked incomprehensible, but they looked embarrassed. Ji Yinglan has not become the focus of everyone.
"Just now, someone from the palace was leading the way. I didn't realize that I had reached the pavilion in the middle of the lake. I was careless and fell into the lake. It was Miss Su who rescued me in time. Mr. Cui was passing by and saw me falling into the water, so he took off his cloak and stayed with me."
Ji Yinglan explained, but after hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but think about it. Although this place is not far from the banquet hall, it is a bit remote. How could Su Zijin appear here and save Ji Yinglan in time? Moreover, a person who fell into the water was panicked. How could Su Zijin, a weak woman, save her from the thrashing? And she happened to meet Cui Lingchuan passing by? What a coincidence?
The disbelief in everyone's eyes was clear, and Su Zijin knew it without having to guess.
Sometimes strategies don't have to be old-fashioned, as long as they work. Thinking of Ji Yinglan's statement just now that she fell into the water because someone wanted to teach her a lesson, Su Zijin laughed a little angrily. Some people really do become arrogant when they gain power, but it's just a little bit unfair. If she can play tricks like this if she wants to, wouldn't she hate the person who ignores her so much?
Su Zijin looked at Xue Baozhu, who was holding Ji Yinglan beside him, and said coolly, "Miss Ji is an official lady after all, and she is weak. It's better to send her home early. Someone! Send Miss Ji back to the carriage." "
"Don't leave!"
Before the palace maid could come over, she was stopped by another wave of voices. Behind them, another group of people walked out. Different from the family members of officials brought by Xue Baozhu just now, the one who came this time was Jia Wenxin, who had been staring at Xue Baozhu and his party. Among Guo Yixuan and others, it was Guo Yixuan who spoke this time. She was staring at the cloak on Ji Yinglan. Her tone was no longer the gentle one when Su Zijin first met, but she said with emphasis, "Master Cui's cloak is It’s better for Miss Ji to keep the warm satin as a tribute. After all, Mr. Ji’s sleeves are windy and I can’t afford to pay for it if this cloak is damaged.”
Ji Yinglan was named and humiliated at this time, but she only blushed and did not dare to refute. She raised her hand to take off her cloak. Su Zijin quickly stopped him, grabbed Ji Yinglan's trembling hand, and looked at everyone on the field. Everyone's purpose None of it was on Ji Yinglan, but he watched her being humiliated and didn't even bother to say a word for relief.
Because Guo Yixuan was obviously in a bad mood at the moment, no one wanted to touch the back of Guo Hou's daughter, but Ji Yinglan was just the daughter of a bachelor, and there were a lot of them in the capital.
Su Zijin originally only watched everyone acting, but now she became a little angry. She glanced at the palace maid who was standing still, holding a lantern, and said, "Help Miss Ji get into the carriage."
"Who dares!"
Guo Yixuan shouted.
Only then did Su Zijin realize that Guo Yixuan's goal was him, and she was here for him.
Maybe it was because she felt uncomfortable being in the same place as Cui Lingchuan, so she responded tit-for-tat to every word she said. Ji Yinglan was just being implicated by herself.
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
Su Zijin looked at the palace maid.
The palace maid was in a dilemma, and in the end she just knelt down. On the one hand, she was the only daughter of Marquis Wu and the fiancée of the fourth prince, but on the other hand, she was the daughter of Marquis Guo who often came to the palace. Neither party could offend, so the palace maid could only kneel down to apologize.
Su Zijin looked at the kneeling palace man and stopped embarrassing her. Instead, he helped Ji Yinglan towards the palace gate.
"Su Zijin, don't you give me an explanation?" Guo Yixuan stepped in front of Su Zijin and looked into Su Zijin's eyes, "It was you and Mr. Cui who broke off the engagement. Now you have been entangled several times. What are your intentions?
Why? You have forgotten that you are the fiancée of the fourth prince!"
"Who is talking about this prince's fiancée?"
Qin Jing's voice appeared from behind everyone. Everyone on the scene was surprised and they all made way out. Qin Jing just walked towards Su Zijin slowly in the way that everyone made way.
"Fourth Prince!" Guo Yixuan's face was a little embarrassed when someone called her out on her behind-the-scenes proposal, but then her anger surged up. Ever since Su Zijin broke off the engagement, she has always considered herself Cui Lingchuan's fiancée. She did not announce it in the first two years.
It's just that the divorce crisis has not passed. But as Su Zijin reappeared in Kyoto, she seemed to have attracted Mr. Cui's attention again, making her eldest brother and Mr. Cui's attention always revolve around her. A few days ago, Qing Zhang
Tianchan, his eldest brother was full of praise for Su Zijin. Although Mr. Cui didn't say it with his mouth, he must have the same feeling in his heart.
Although she knew that this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet might be the work of that clown Xue Baozhu, just to make herself angry, she had to say that she found it accurately. This matter was against her, and she would not be able to calm down when she encountered it.
Come down.
Therefore, despite the oppressive gaze of the fourth prince, Guo Yixuan couldn't help but say, "Fourth prince, your fiancée and her ex-fiancé appeared alone in the Lake Pavilion. Don't you have anything to ask?"
As soon as her words came out, everyone became even more silent, but their hearts became hot, and their secret glances were on the fourth prince, Su Zijin, and Cui Lingchuan, who had been silent all the time.
Qin Jing walked to Su Zijin and looked at the palace man, "Su Zijin asked you to do something. Why are you kneeling down? Why don't you go quickly!"
"Yes, the Fourth Prince!"
The palace attendant quickly got up and helped Ji Yinglan leave, one on the left and the other on the right.
