Chapter 12 Framing
Fang Qingruo seemed to have something to say to Ji Ruzhang, but it was just nonsense, and the main point was never mentioned.Shen Qingyao at the side couldn't stand it any longer, she saw Fang Zhuoyun, on the other side of the lake in front of him, across a not short and not long winding stone bridge, surrounded by several women.

"Sister, since Qingruo and Mr. Ji have something to discuss, I'll take you around!" Shen Qingyao said.

When Fang Qingruo heard this, she could only give up and continue talking with Ji Ruzhang. She complained to Shen Qingyao in her heart, and saw her saying to Ji Ruzhang: "I'll go first, and I'll talk to you later!"

Ji Ruzhang smiled, but he didn't want to hold back, he turned sideways to make way for the three of them to walk over.

"My cousin of Qingyao is arrogant, don't take it to heart!" Shen Dengyun said softly after the three of them had passed by. Some aristocratic children in Beijing disdain Ji Ruzhang for abandoning his official position to go into business, but he It's because I envy Ji Ruzhang's unrestrained and unrestrained style, and his demeanor of making friends all over the world!

"It's okay!" Ji Ruzhang didn't take it to heart, and kept silent about the inexplicable familiarity with Shen Qingzi in his heart.

Walking on the zigzag stone bridge over the lake, the road is a bit narrow and cannot accommodate three people together. Fang Qing was angry with Shen Qingyao for making trouble just now, so she walked ahead, deliberately blocked Shen Qingyao's way, and deliberately walked slowly .

Shen Qingyao was furious, but because it was Fang Qingruo, she could only hold back, she saw who the people surrounding Fang Zhuoyun were, it was He Xuemei, hmph, it was just the daughter of a minister, do you want to snatch her too?Walking with Shen Qingzi, her heart has already flown to Fang Zhuoyun.

Almost there!The corner of Shen Qingzi's mouth smiled lightly, just in time, she was about to make a turn, and no one could see it from this angle.Then there was a thud, and Shen Qingzi suddenly fell into the lake. This happened so suddenly that Fang Qingruo and Shen Qingyao were both stunned, unable to react for a while.

After recovering, Fang Qingruo was even more shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, someone fell into the water!"

Fang Zhuoyun saw his younger sister walking over with two young ladies from the Shen family. When he heard someone falling into the water, he hurriedly glanced over. His heart sank, it was Shen Qingzi.Regardless of the people around him, he pushed them away, plunged into the lake, and swam towards Shen Qingzi.

Shen Qingzi splashed a few times in the water, and there was a tendency to sink. If Fang Qing on the bridge was very panicked, she kept shouting: "Brother, hurry up, save sister Qingzi!"

Shen Qingyao took pleasure in other people's misfortunes, since she would fall into the water for no reason, she really was an ominous person!But I was jealous in my heart, why should Brother Fang save him, there are so many people around here, including all the guards in the palace, why should Fang Zhuoyun save him!
Fortunately, Fang Zhuoyun was not far away, and soon rescued Shen Qingzi ashore, feeling very nervous, and asked with concern: "How about it, should I call the imperial doctor, what's wrong?"

Shen Qingzi coughed, shook her head, her whole body was drenched, her black hair was also sticking to her cheeks, her expression was very sad.She clutched her chest, gasping for breath, obviously terrified!After finally calming down, he raised his head and looked at Fang Zhuoyun. The panic in Fang Zhuoyun's eyes aroused his infinite desire for protection.

Fang Qingruo and Shen Qingyao rushed to the front, Fang Qingruo ran to Shen Qingzi's side, and asked with concern: "Sister Qingzi, are you all right, you are fine, why did you fall into the lake?"

"I'm fine..." Shen Qingzi showed a weak posture, as if she felt cold, hugging her arms, seeing Shen Qingyao, she didn't know whether it was tears or mist in her eyes, she just said: "Sister , why do you push me?" When Shen Qingzi said this, she looked at Shen Qingyao with tears in her eyes, and her trembling tone was particularly pitiful.The crowd watching from the side immediately turned their attention to Shen Qingyao.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You obviously fell down by yourself. What does it matter to me?" Shen Qingyao was framed for no reason, and immediately refuted with an exclamation, her posture was annoyed.

Shen Qingzi also lowered her head, and said softly: "Yes, I fell by myself!" The helplessness and forbearance in the tone made everyone feel more and more pitiful.

Fang Zhuoyun believed Shen Qingzi's words from the bottom of his heart, and he was somewhat resentful of Shen Qingyao's deception, but after all, it was the Shen family's business, so he couldn't criticize too much. "Forget it, don't blame anyone, Qing Ruo, help Miss Shen to change clothes at Concubine Lan's place! You'll catch a cold if you drag it on!"

Fang Qingruo nodded, Concubine Lan was their aunt, she stepped forward to help Shen Qingzi up and said, "Sister Qingzi, let's go!"

"Stop!" Shen Qingyao refused, it was obvious that dirty water was poured on her body, and it was Shen Qingzi who fell by herself, so it's none of her business! "Tell me clearly, did you fall down by yourself or did I push you down?"

"Qingyao!" Fang Zhuoyun said, "Forget it!" He glanced at Shen Qingzi, who was so soaked and pale, it made him feel very distressed.

"Sister, I said something wrong!" Shen Qingzi glanced at Shen Qingyao and lowered her head.

"You...you are the one who fell down by yourself and still falsely accused me. Let me tell you, you will look good after you go back!" Shen Qingyao was so angry that she said without thinking for a while.

Shen Qingzi trembled a little at the moment, although she lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly, but Fang Qingruo who was at the side could feel her fear. "Sister Qingzi, let's change clothes first, we'll catch a cold if we drag it on!" She helped Shen Qingzi away quickly.

"Threatening my sister, tsk tsk, the second lady of the Shen family is really capable!" He Xuemei who was on the side deliberately said that she was interested in Fang Zhuoyun, so she naturally knew Shen Qingyao's thoughts on Fang Zhuoyun.

There were some whispers among the crowd that Shen Qingyao had always been a high-ranking lady of the Dingguo Houfu, and she also looked down upon ladies from aristocratic families who were inferior to her.Right now, everyone already believed in their hearts that it was Shen Qingyao who pushed Shen Qingzi into the water, so it's not good to accuse Shen Qingyao in person, but they are quite critical of Shen Qingyao in private!
"Brother Fang, it's not me!" She didn't care what others said or thought, but she couldn't ignore what Fang Zhuoyun thought!Shen Qingyao looked at Fang Zhuoyun with anxiety and irritability in her eyes, as long as Fang Zhuoyun said she would trust her, she would be fine!

Fang Zhuoyun also wiped the drops of water off his face, and said, "I'm going to change my clothes too, so I'll take my leave first!"

"Brother Fang!" Seeing Fang Zhuoyun leaving like this, Shen Qingyao was very disturbed, but no matter how much she yelled, Fang Zhuoyun didn't look back, she stomped her feet fiercely in anger, and hated Shen Qingzi again in her heart How many points.

When they arrived at Concubine Lan's dorm, Fang Qingruo told Concubine Lan why, Concubine Lan also cared a lot for her niece, which was naturally very convenient.Soon, Shen Qingzi changed her clothes, and after the two thanked Concubine Lan, they left!

"Sister Qingzi, I must be the one who offended Qingyao because of me, so she turned her anger on you. I'm really sorry!" On the way, Fang Qingruo apologized.

"Qing Ruo is really joking, maybe sister Qing Yao left in a hurry, she didn't mean it!" Shen Qingzi resumed her usual calm and calm posture, and said with a faint smile.

"She is naturally anxious, hum!" Fang Qingruo snorted disdainfully.

Shen Qingzi sighed and said: "It's also my fault. I was surprised at that time, so I asked directly. My sister was afraid that she would also feel resentful. Maybe she just did it unintentionally!"

"Sister Qingzi, don't worry, Aunt Shen is the most reasonable, it's Shen Qingyao who is wrong!" Fang Qingruo said.

Reasonable?That's not necessarily the case, Shen Qingzi thought in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.What she did today was to make Shen Qingyao lose face in front of Fang Zhuoyun on purpose. Fang Zhuoyun was the most critical step in her plan, and she couldn't afford to miss it! "Qing Ruo, thank you so much today!"

"Thank me for what, it was my elder brother who saved you!" Fang Qingruo giggled.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Fang, for your repeated rescues!" Shen Qingzi followed Fang Qingruo's words.

"Shouldn't you come to thank me? Sister Qingzi, I have planted a piece of peony in my house, and I will tell you secretly that it is not necessarily worse than the one in the Royal Garden. Whenever you come to my house to have a look, just treat it as a company!" Fang Qing Ruo carried out her brother's will very conscientiously.

Shen Qingzi smiled, her plain and beautiful face seemed to be radiant, and the look in her eyes was extraordinarily dazzling. "That would be wonderful!"

"Then it's decided like this. When, um, will it be too late tomorrow? The day after tomorrow will be fine. How about I send someone to come to Shen's house to pick you up the day after tomorrow?" Fang Qingruo was very happy in her heart. If you try your best, my brother will definitely be grateful, and then her affairs will surely come to fruition.

Shen Qingyao returned to Mrs. Shen angrily, and told Mrs. Shen everything that happened, feeling very wronged and angry. "Mother, what does Shen Qingzi mean? She deliberately embarrasses me!" Shen Qingyao complained in a low voice, leaning in front of Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly. She couldn't figure out what kind of temperament this Shen Qingzi was. Originally, she didn't want to pay much attention to it. If that's the case, then I can't blame her for what she's going to do! "Don't be angry, with Mother here, she won't be complacent for too long, let's go home first!" Seeing someone pointing fingers at Shen Qingyao, she felt a little annoyed.

Shen Qingyao hummed, and held Mrs. Shen's arm, what's the use of Shen Qingzi pretending to be pitiful, she has a mother and met the Shen family, let's see what else Shen Qingzi can do.

When Fang Qingruo came back with Shen Qingzi, Mrs. Shen and Shen Qingyao were nowhere to be found, and Fang Qingruo also didn't see her brother, so she thought for a while and said, "Shen Qingyao must be too shy to meet people, should You are waiting at the gate of the palace, I will take you there!"

Shen Qingzi thought, this should be the Shen family's mother and daughter's blow to her, but would she care?She also thanked Fang Qingruo and went to the palace gate together.

The carriages of these families were all parked in front of the palace gate, when Shen Qingzi arrived in front of the palace gate, there was no Shen family's carriage.If Fang Qing saw this, she asked the guards at the gate of the palace.

"This must be the eldest lady of the Shen family. Mrs. Shen said that the second young lady suddenly had a headache, so she rushed back to see the doctor first. If the eldest lady is in a hurry to go back, she can ask someone to drop by, or wait for the Shen family's carriage to come. Pick it up!" The guard had benefited from Mrs. Shen, and he was passing on the message at this moment.

"What's the big deal, Sister Qingzi, I'll take you back!" Fang Qingruo immediately said with a cold face, "Shen Qingyao must have done it on purpose!"

"It's my sister who really has a headache, but it's really troublesome for Qing Ruo!" Shen Qingzi smiled and said indifferently.
