The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 38

Li Xueshang has always been aloof and reserved, and she has never been involved in such offending things, but today she made an exception because of Li Sister-in-law, at this moment when her words came out, the faces of Zhang Shijia and others who were sitting there changed completely.

Yang Xianling's complexion was extremely ugly. She had conspired with Zhang Shijia about today's incident, and used Zhang Shijia's copy of the picture of a hermit in Xishan to carry out the crime of destroying the painting. Li Xueshang always valued rare ancient paintings and loved justice. Psychologically, Li Meiying's reputation will definitely be discredited, but the premise of all this must be that once the painting is taken out, it must first pass through Li Meiying's hands. At that time, Zhang Shijia has her own way to destroy the painting in Li Meiying's hands. With Li Xueshang's temperament, she must be in a hurry, so she still has the heart to care if the painting is true or not. If things develop according to their plan, even if Li Sister is a princess, a princess with a different surname who only relies on Emperor Cheng's favor, How to compete with the noble daughter of a century-old family will definitely make her get out of Xinjing in disgrace.It's a pity that no matter how good the plan was, Li Sister-in-law couldn't be fooled. She never reached out to touch the painting from the beginning to the end. It wasn't until Li Xueshang made a comment later that her hand stroked the painting symbolically, but quickly Don't give people a chance to be framed.

However, Zhang Shijia reacted very quickly. After being dazed for a moment, she immediately stepped forward to observe the painting carefully. The maid holding the painting was also very clever, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Miss, forgive me, it is the servant who took the wrong painting. I lost all face here, and almost caused the Princess and Miss Li to lose peace."

Seeing the maid pleading guilty, Zhang Shijia breathed a sigh of relief, frowned on purpose and reprimanded in a cold voice: "Useless things, I let you take care of the studio because I see that you can read some words and know how to paint and ink, but you are lucky, today On an important day, you made such a mistake, and you risked injustice to Princess Yingsu, in front of the princess, how can I forgive you."

Li Meiying looked at this scene and sneered in her heart, but her face was peaceful: "Miss Zhang, why get angry, Miss Li just said that the similarity of the paintings is very high, you, the author, didn't even notice it, let alone A slave who is only proficient in painting and ink! As long as there is nothing wrong with Master Zhen's original work, after this incident, this slave must be more cautious in the future, why don't Miss Zhang give her another chance."

What Zhang Shijia was waiting for was Li Meiying's words, as long as Li Meiying didn't care about it, Li Xueshang would definitely give Li Meiying this face.

Seeing Li Meiying's tolerant and generous appearance, Li Xueshang swallowed the words abruptly, but she had a very bad idea of ​​Zhang Shijia's character in her heart.

A turmoil about appreciating paintings was exposed, but the few people sitting there lost their interest in swimming in the lake, and Yang Xianling was even more angry and angry. Since Li Xueshang was here, she had to bear it.

After sitting in the cabin for a while, Li Xueshang claimed that the cabin was stuffy, so she put on a cloak and went out of the cabin to get some fresh air on the deck accompanied by her mother and maid.

Seeing this, Li Sister-in-law just smiled, but didn't move, she just held a cup of tea and sipped it in small sips.Li Xueshang stood on the deck for a while, but couldn't resist the cold wind, so she went back to the cabin.

After having lunch on the boat at noon, Li Xueshang felt bored, so she proposed to go to the shore and go back home. The others also felt bored and agreed. Yang Xianling couldn't insist anymore, so she ordered the boatman to go to the shore.

After being bored in the cabin for a long time, Li Meiying asked Mo Shu to fetch the cloak, took the hand stove and went to the deck.Standing on the deck, Li Meizhen could only feel the oncoming wind, like biting ice slag, hitting the skin of her face coldly and painfully, but she was unwilling to return to the warm cabin.

While she was lost in thought alone, Yang Xianling stepped out of the cabin wearing a big cloak.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Li Meizhen turned her head and saw that it was Yang Xianling, so she turned her head and looked forward lightly.Faced with Li Meiying's alienation, Yang Xianling didn't care, she just walked up to Li Meiying's side and stood still: "I thought you would be so ashamed and shameless to swim in the lake, but I don't think you are really thick-skinned. , don't you feel ashamed?"

After listening to Yang Xianling's words, Li Meiying looked sideways at Yang Xianling, and Taohua's eyes were sneering undisguised: "I'm ashamed? I'm sitting upright, so naturally I have a clear conscience. On the contrary, you, Linger, originally Willful behavior can be regarded as frank and innocent, but now you even show off such a bad trick as framing, and squandered the little cultivation of a rich and noble lady, you don't feel ashamed, and I don't even feel ashamed. You need to feel ashamed. As for the shame, you can’t do harm to others, but you just teach others here, I can’t do such shameless things, you are much better than me!”

When it comes to sharp teeth, Yang Xianling is no match for Li Meiying at all. Li Meiying's counterattack with just a few words made her face flush with anger, her mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again, and she was stunned. Can't make a sound.

"You're cruel." Finally, Yang Xianling said those words, then turned and went back to the cabin.

"Aunt Mo, it's cold outside, you go into the cabin, I want to be alone for a while." Wuwu saw that Mo Shudong's face was pale, and thought that she was wearing a big cloak and holding a stove in her hand to resist the cold wind, and she felt sorry for Mo Shu. He opened his mouth softly.

Mo Shu knew that the hidden guards trained by Lu Qian were protecting in the dark, so he had nothing to worry about, so he entered the cabin as he said, and soon the boat docked. When the boat stopped, Yang Xianling came out of the cabin first. When her eyes swept over Li Sister, a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

Bo Yuying and Yang Xianling walked side by side. Wu Miaozi, who got out of the cabin behind, seemed to be very afraid of the cold. As soon as she got out of the cabin, she rushed forward regardless, as if she was in a hurry to get off the boat and go back to the carriage. Because she moved too fast, she accidentally bumped into her After touching Bo Yuying for a moment, Bo Yuying ran into Yang Xianling again unprepared. Yang Xianling would have expected this and was about to fall, but when she saw Li Sister-in-law a few steps away, she leaned on her again. Standing against the railing of the boat, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he deliberately bumped into Li Meizhen.

She originally planned to pretend that she accidentally knocked Li Meiying off the boat. Li Meiying was afraid of water since she was a child, and she would never survive if she fell into the water. As long as she held on to the railing, she would be fine, but her thinking was very simple. The facts were always unexpected. Bo Yuying was knocked down, and the Ying lattice on the belt fell on the deck, just slipping to Li Meiying's feet. Feeling something, Li Meiying squatted down to pick it up. , Yang Xianling didn't expect that Li Sister would squat down, panicked in her heart, before she could stop, she bumped into the railing, and the railing on the deck was only up to waist height, Yang Xianling's momentum was too strong, All of a sudden, he jumped out of the guardrail and fell into the icy cold lake water.

The sound of heavy objects falling into the water caught Li Meiying's attention. At this moment, she heard the maid beside Yang Xianling yell for help, and Bo Yuying also yelled for her cousin. He jumped into the lake without any hesitation.
