Li San, handpicked for the role, performed convincingly. He risked it all, now affectionately caressing Wei Xiheng's face.
Princess Consort Gong looked as if she was taken aback, her hand holding the handkerchief trembling: "Wasn't it said that it was Lady Shen who fell into the water? Oh, what a scandal this has turned into!"
All the aristocratic ladies were astounded.
Stumbling upon such a scandal, they couldn't help but sigh continuously.
Ji Shimin sensed something was off, hurriedly rushed down the bridge, and upon seeing clearly the person in Li San's arms, shivered all over.
Meanwhile, Cui Yun walked to a corner. The person who should have fallen into the water was now clutching her chest, biting her lips, appearing frail as if she might collapse at any moment.
Shen Hua, her eyes brimming with tears as if she had suffered a great injustice, saw Cui Yun approach and trembled with complaint: "It was so frightening."
