It seemed that the maid was about to push Liu Rumei into the water. However, the maid subconsciously grabbed Bai Jinmian's sleeve, and Bai Jinmian also fell in the direction of Liu Rumei.
On the side, Ning Yan'er saw this chaotic scene and a smile curled up on her lips.
Seeing this, Liu Rumei subconsciously squatted down. So Bai Jinmian and the maid flew directly over her head and plunged into the lake, causing ripples.
Liu Rumei looked at this scene and couldn't help shaking her head helplessly. Just now, Bai Jinmian deliberately tripped the maid. It was self - evident what she was about to do.
"Miss Bai, why did you fall in?"
Ning Yan'er looked at this scene with a surprised look in her eyes. Obviously, she didn't expect that Liu Rumei would dodge.
Seeing the faint smile on Liu Rumei's lips, she gritted her teeth and said to A Bi beside her, "Hurry up and go down to save Miss Bai!"
A Bi bit her red lips tightly. "Your Highness, this servant can't swim!"
Ning Yan'er gritted her teeth and glanced at the pleasure - boat not far away. The people on the pleasure - boat had already noticed that Bai Jinmian had fallen into the water. They quickly jumped into the lake, ready to rescue Bai Jinmian.
However, before they swam closer, Bai Jinmian had already climbed onto the shore with the maid.
Her delicate face was in a sorry state at this moment. Her hair bun was in a mess, and her clothes, soaked in water, were tightly stuck to her body, revealing her beautiful figure!
The commotion just now had already attracted the attention of the people around. They drove the boatmen to slide the pleasure - boats to the nearby area, trying to find out what was going on.
Bai Jinmian was already extremely resentful. She couldn't help glaring at Liu Rumei and then quickly walked towards the pleasure - boat. If she was seen in such a mess, she might become the laughingstock of the whole capital tomorrow.
Behind her, the maid was gasping for breath, with a look of relief after surviving a disaster in her eyes.
Seeing Bai Jinmian running towards the pleasure - boat, she immediately understood what was going on and quickly got up and followed.
Ning Yan'er watched the two of them in such a sorry state and winked at A Bi beside her.
A Bi immediately understood. She bowed to Ning Yan'er and then went into the pleasure - boat.
After A Bi left, Ning Yan'er frowned tightly. Looking at Liu Rumei in front of her, she said unhappily, "Miss Liu, you've gone too far!"
Liu Rumei's eyes were also full of unhappiness, but the smile on her face remained. "Those who insult others will surely be insulted in return!"
If she hadn't dodged quickly, it might have been her being watched by everyone right now!
Ye Zhe, hidden in the dark, also flashed a cold light in his eyes. This Princess Anning obviously came with ill intentions.
But thinking of Liu Rumei's order, he didn't show up after all.
Ning Yan'er's face was still full of unhappiness. "Jinmian has always been gentle, elegant, and well - behaved. What happened just now was just an accident, but Miss Liu..."
Liu Rumei couldn't help shaking her head helplessly in her heart. She originally thought that Princess Anning was jealous because she lived in the Prince Guo'an's Mansion, so she sent someone to assassinate her before. But now it seemed that she had thought too much.
"Then according to Your Highness's meaning, should this little girl not have dodged? Instead, she should have fallen into the water with Miss Bai? Just as Your Highness said, what happened just now was just an accident. It was just a subconscious act for this little girl to dodge!"
Ning Yan'er was blocked by these words. Her eyes darkened. Looking at Liu Rumei in front of her, she sneered with a curl of her lips. "Miss Liu is really sharp - tongued!"
Liu Rumei didn't want to be polite to her anymore. She immediately got up. "Your Highness overpraises me. This little girl has something important to do, so I'll take my leave first!"
A cold frost flashed in Ning Yan'er's eyes, and her gentle voice also carried a bit of coldness. "Miss Liu doesn't think it's inconvenient for your reputation to live in the Prince Guo'an's Mansion all the time?"
Liu Rumei frowned and looked back at Ning Yan'er with a cold look on her face. She said indifferently, "Your Highness should not forget that this little girl is a subordinate of the Prince Guo'an's Mansion!"
Ning Yan'er said coldly, "A subordinate? It's just that the prince takes pity on you for having nowhere to go. Miss Liu should be sensible. In the future, if the prince has someone he likes, won't it be misunderstood if Miss Liu lives in the Prince Guo'an's Mansion?"
Liu Rumei fell into silence. Ning Yan'er's words made sense. In the future, if Mo Liandi had someone he liked, it would inevitably arouse suspicion for her to live in the Prince Guo'an's Mansion!
But... for some reason, there was a bit of unhappiness in her heart...
"This little girl will seriously consider Your Highness's suggestion. If there's nothing else, this little girl will take her leave!"
Seeing that she had listened in, Ning Yan'er's face looked a bit better, and a bit of smile appeared on her lips again. "It's good that Miss Liu has thought it through. This princess has a mansion under her name. It's usually unoccupied. Tomorrow, this princess will send you the deed. If Miss Liu likes it, how about you settle down there?"
Liu Rumei watched her being so eager. The annoyance in her heart deepened a bit, but there was still a calm smile on her face. "This little girl will go and take a look tomorrow. Farewell."
Hearing that Liu Rumei agreed, Ning Yan'er let out a sigh of relief. The smile on her face deepened a bit more. "I won't see you off."
After leaving the lake, Ye Zhe appeared beside Liu Rumei. He wanted to explain something on behalf of his prince, but he didn't know how to start.
Finally, he could only blurt out, "Miss Liu, the prince won't let you move out of the mansion."
After saying this, his figure disappeared again, hidden in the dark!
Liu Rumei listened absent - mindedly and didn't delve into the meaning of this sentence. She just sighed, "It seems that I still have to find a mansion."
Otherwise, in the future, things like what happened with Ning Yan'er might happen one after another!
But involuntarily, the handsome face of Mo Liandi appeared in her mind. She couldn't help biting her red lips tightly, looking rather unhappy. "Why does he have to be so good - looking?"
While thinking wildly in her heart, she didn't forget the important thing today. She went to the secret passage beside the city wall where she had been yesterday on her own. She squatted on the ground, examining the surrounding traces, frowning tightly, and temporarily putting aside what had just happened!
Ye Zhe was hidden in the dark, vigilant about the surroundings!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed by, making his expression turn cold. But he didn't make any move and still guarded beside Liu Rumei.
However, in the next moment, Ye Zhe's face suddenly changed. He turned around and chased in the direction of that person.
Liu Rumei didn't notice Ye Zhe's disappearance. She still squatted at the entrance of the cave, looking at the messy footprints, frowning tightly. She didn't notice how strange these footprints were last night. It was as if someone had deliberately made them!
Could it be...
The answer in her mind was about to come out, but suddenly she smelled a strange fragrance. In the next moment, she was covered on the mouth and nose by someone. Before she fainted, she only vaguely saw a black corner of a robe.
