Chapter 161: Standing up for His Wife, Prince Lu Praises Shen Qing

The crowd made quite a commotion. Qi Yichuan, who was far away on the other side of the deck, heard the sound and rushed towards it. As soon as he approached the deck, he heard Qi Suining say this.

Qi Suining fell into the water?

Qi Yichuan's face condensed, and he immediately quickened his pace. He walked through the cabin and saw five men and three women lying on the deck. Qi Suining was one of them.

She was soaked all over, the makeup on her face was stained, and water was dripping from her head. She looked extremely miserable.

Xie Zhaohua put a coat on her in time, but in the end she still lost her dignity in front of others.

Qi Yichuan's face suddenly turned cold. His eyes swept over Xie Zhaohua who was pressing the abdomen of an official lady he didn't know. Seeing that she was fine, he felt slightly relieved and looked at a soaked government lady beside him. Wei, said in a cold voice: "What's going on?"

The palace guard narrated the accident that had just happened to Qi Yichuan. Qi Yichuan could not help but frown. It was nothing for the young men to choke on their water. They would be fine after a few days of rest, but the ladies were afraid that they would be in trouble...

Reputation is the most important thing in a daughter's family, but now it has become wet in front of so many people. Even if Xie Zhaohua handles it extremely well, the reputation is still damaged in the end, including his sister!

Putting aside the unknown official ladies for the time being, Qi Yichuan walked up to Qi Suining, took off his coat and wrapped it up for her. The lake water was cold, and if you kept it cold, you would get sick. Wei went to find some clean blankets and then asked Qi Suining, "Suining, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Seeing Qi Yichuan, Qi Suining suddenly gained confidence and cried out: "Brother, I was pushed into the water by someone, that is Shen Qing, wuwuwu, so many people saw it, what will I do in the future, wuwuwu …”

The more Qi Suining cried, the sadder she became. At first, she was mostly pretending, but when she cried, she was really aggrieved and scared. She was not married yet, but she got wet from the lake in front of everyone. In the future, her husband's family should How do you look at her!

Qi Yichuan patted her back with a distressed expression, and comforted her softly: "Sui Ning, don't cry, brother will not let you suffer in vain."

While coaxing Qi Suining, Qi Yichuan turned his attention to Shen Qing. However, he did not attack directly, but asked: "Miss Shen, where was Miss Shen when my sister fell into the water just now?"

Although Qi Yichuan's tone was quite kind, Lu Yan was not happy anymore. He took a step forward to protect Shen Qing behind him and said with a cold face: "What do you mean, General Qi?"

Seeing Lu Yan's expression turned ugly, Qi Yichuan explained: "Prince Lu, please don't misunderstand me. I just want to find out the truth of the matter and give justice to my sister."

Lu Yan let out a soft "heh" and asked, "Is it necessary to wrong my fiancée to give her justice?"

Qi Yichuan questioned Shen Qing based on Qi Suining's words without any evidence, which Lu Yan could not tolerate in any case.

Qi Yichuan frowned, and Lu Yan had already looked at Qi Suining, "Did Miss Qi see Jiao Jiao push you just now?"

Qi Suining answered directly without thinking: "Of course I saw it!"

Lu Yan asked again: "I was beside Jiao Jiao at the time. Why didn't I see her push you? Why did she push you?"

Qi Suining pursed her lips tightly. What else could be the reason? Of course it was because she wanted to push Shen Qing down but was tricked by Shen Qing. But she absolutely couldn't say this, so she could only muddle through, "How do I know why Shen Qing wants to You pushed me, maybe you were jealous of me!”

Lu Yan laughed directly, "In terms of birth, she and you are both direct descendants of the Hou family, so they are on par; in terms of appearance, she is charming and beautiful, and Miss Qi is not even a little bit worse than her; in terms of talent, she is ice-snow smart and famous. In Shengjing, Miss Qi is unknown; now she has me, the prince of the royal family, as her husband, so tell me, Miss Qi, why can she be jealous of you? "

Being demoted to be worthless by Lu Yan, Qi Suining gritted her teeth angrily. In Lu Yan's eyes, was she so bad?

Shen Qing, who was standing behind Lu Yan, was almost embarrassed to be praised so well by Lu Yan, but she still didn't forget to add a sentence for Lu Yan: "According to Prince Lu, Miss Qi should be jealous of me. , Could it be that you tried to frame me but failed, and ended up falling? "

Although the tone was playful, some people present smelled something unusual after hearing it——

The first thing Qi Suining did when she woke up was to question Shen Qing, but when Lu Yan asked her why, she dodged her eyes, obviously lying. At the same time, everyone also clearly remembered that Qi Suining confessed to Lu Yan in public a few days ago when Jiang Li and Ji Banquet were rejected, but now Lu Yan has made a marriage agreement with Shen Qing, so it is not unreasonable if Qi Suining is jealous and resentful and wants to murder Shen Qing. possible.

As for why Qi Suining was the one who fell into the water in the end? That must be because she is not morally qualified enough. Of course, there is also the possibility that Shen Qing may have tampered with it... Wait! Prince Lu defends Shen Qing so much, is he also an accomplice?

Thinking of this, everyone wanted to slap themselves. Who is Prince Lu? How could the future Prince Jing'an, the only legitimate son of Prince Jing'an, collaborate with Shen Qing to do such an insidious and shameless thing? What a bargain!

Since it is impossible for Prince Lu to interfere, then Shen Qing should be innocent too, right?

So Qi Suining could only suffer the consequences if he failed in his plot.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of everyone's suspicious expressions. Qi Yichuan knew that he could not let Shen Qing and Lu Yan lead the wind downwards like this, otherwise Qi Suining would not be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

Looking over everyone present, Qi Yichuan asked: "Is there anyone who saw what happened just now and can provide personal testimony so that the truth can be revealed?"

Everyone looked at each other, whether they saw it or not, they all chose to remain silent. On one side was Prince Jing'an's Mansion, on the other was Pingxihou Mansion. There was really no need for them to wade through this muddy water.

However, in the end, someone still said in a low voice, unwisely: "I...I saw it."

Qi Yichuan looked up and saw that the source of the voice was a young lady wearing a light pink embroidered skirt. Her face was slightly panicked and hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Qi Yichuan's face was filled with joy, and he comforted and induced: "Don't be afraid, Prince Lu and I are both sensible people. You only need to tell the truth, and no one will make things difficult for you."

Seeing everyone's eyes falling on her, the young lady's face turned pale instantly. Apparently she finally realized that something was wrong with her words, but the words had already been spoken, and there was no room for maneuver.

Lu Yan followed up very frankly: "General Qi is right, as long as you tell the truth, no one will make things difficult for you, but if you dare to lie..."

Lu Yan did not continue, but the lady's paler face showed that she understood.

There was a flash of struggle in the young lady's eyes, and she hesitated when she spoke, "I just saw...saw..."

Qi Yichuan said slightly, "Tell me, what did you see just now?"
