Volume 1_Chapter 242: Arrogant Yun Qiyue (Part 1)

As soon as Yun Yajie arrived, she was speaking up for Yun Qiyue.

Yun Yarou, who followed behind Yun Yajie, frowned upon hearing this, but after glancing at Yun Yajie, she said nothing and fell into deep thought.

Yun Yajie hurried to Yun Qiyue's side, looking her up and down, and only after seeing that Yun Qiyue hadn't been harmed did she let out a sigh of relief, then looked at the crowd. "Don't talk about Qiyue anymore; you must have misunderstood her."

She truly looked like a good older sister who wholeheartedly trusted and protected her younger sister.

Moreover, there was no hidden trap behind her words of protection.

It made even Yun Qiyue feel inexplicably dazed, a little suspicious of whether her relationship with Yun Yajie was really that good.

And the others, seeing Yun Yajie protecting Yun Qiyue, only felt that Yun Yajie was truly too kind.

However, Yun Qiyue was not worthy of Yun Yajie's kindness.

"Eldest Miss Yun, we saw it with our own eyes, could it be fake?"

"That's right, don't be fooled by Yun Qiyue; what wouldn't she do?"

Yun Yajie frowned slightly as she listened to these people talking one after another.

However, before Yun Yajie could speak again, she heard someone shout: "She's up, she's been saved."

Soon, the woman and Qi Xue came up together.

The moment they came up, the servants on the painted boat draped clothes over them; they didn't look too disheveled, the only mess was on their faces.

Qi Xue's hair was now completely disheveled, wet and stuck to her face, and she was coughing in a very miserable and terrified manner.

"Yun... cough cough..." Qi Xue was coughing miserably, and the maid beside her helped pat her back, providing very attentive service.

The eyes of the others were all on Qi Xue, and for a time, no one spoke, waiting for Qi Xue to finish coughing.

After a heart-wrenching cough, Qi Xue looked at Yun Qiyue with teary, pitiful eyes. "Third Miss Yun, why, why did you push me into the water?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yajie looked at Yun Qiyue in disbelief.

Then, she frowned and looked at Qi Xue. "Miss Qi, did you make a mistake? Qiyue, she couldn't possibly..."

"Eldest Miss Yun, are you doubting that I'm telling the truth?" Qi Xue was very indignant, then looked at the others. "You all saw it, didn't you?"

As she said this, tears fell from Qi Xue's eyes.

On weekdays, Qi Xue looked like a high-mountain flower; today, although disheveled, she didn't lose her elegance, and her crying was just right—pitiful and beautiful, making people unable to help but feel sympathy.

"If... if Eldest Miss Yun insists on helping the Third Miss, I... I will just accept my bad luck today. Who let you, Eldest Miss Yun..."

Qi Xue didn't finish her sentence, just turned her head to the side and bit her lip.

The others looked at Yun Yajie, then at Yun Qiyue.

No one dared to criticize Yun Yajie.

In fact, no one would truly blame Yun Yajie.

However, if Yun Qiyue wasn't punished for pushing someone into the water, they just felt a blockage in their hearts.

"Yun Qiyue, do you think that by relying on the Imperial Uncle, you can be so arrogant and domineering, disregarding human life?"

Just at this moment, someone spoke up.

Yun Qiyue didn't recognize who the person speaking was.

But from the form of address, Yun Qiyue knew that the other party was either a princess or a princess of the blood.

Yun Qiyue hadn't refuted or spoken up about the previous remarks.

For one, to give Yun Yajie a chance to perform.

Secondly, Qi Xue was acting so hard, framing her so hard, she had to let the other person feel proud for a moment, right?

But, having heard so many accusations, her ears were starting to grow calluses.

So, let's end it here.

Yun Qiyue looked at the person who was either a princess or a princess of the blood and said indifferently, "I have the Imperial Uncle to rely on, are you jealous?"

"You—" the other party was furious.

Yun Qiyue didn't give the other party a chance to speak. "Also, you say I disregard human life, then may I ask, did anyone die?"

Princess Yun Family turned red with anger upon hearing this.

"Yun Qiyue, you are presumptuous!"

Yun Qiyue: "I am your Imperial Aunt; you are shouting at me, I think the one being presumptuous is yourself, right?"

Since she called Ye Lanjue Imperial Uncle, didn't she have to call her Imperial Aunt?

Yun Family: "..."

For a moment, she was so angry she couldn't speak.

Yun Qiyue didn't take this level of skill seriously.

Then, Yun Qiyue walked toward Qi Xue, looking down at her from above.

Seeing this, Qi Xue tightened the cloak on her body, and a feeling of fear inexplicably rose in her heart.

Yun Qiyue: "I pushed you into the water? Are you sure?"

Qi Xue: "Isn't that the case?" Qi Xue asked in return.

Yun Qiyue then looked at the others. "You all saw it?"

Those who had arrived first looked at each other, not knowing what Yun Qiyue wanted to do, but they still nodded.

"Yes, we saw it."

"Yun Qiyue, so many of us saw it, don't try to quibble."

"..."

It was another round of talking one after another.

Really, when one could take action, why use words?

Wasn't talking tiring?

Thinking this, Yun Qiyue shook her head.

Then, before anyone could think of it, Yun Qiyue suddenly reached out and grabbed Qi Xue.

Qi Xue hadn't expected Yun Qiyue to grab her, so she didn't react in time.

Then, everyone saw Yun Qiyue quickly grab Qi Xue's collar, and then, reaching the railing, she directly pushed Qi Xue forward with force.

"Ah—"

Yun Qiyue's movements were too fast; Qi Xue only reacted now.

Just now, she had wanted to jump into the water herself, so she had been mentally prepared.

But now, suddenly being pressed outside the railing by Yun Qiyue in this posture, Qi Xue couldn't help but feel fear, and she screamed out like that.

Yun Qiyue didn't even look at Qi Xue, but looked at the others. "Is this how I pushed her?"

Yun Qiyue's gaze was very cold, and her actions were too shocking, so for a moment, no one dared to answer Yun Qiyue's question.

Then, Yun Qiyue looked at Princess Yun Family.

"Just now, you also said I pushed her into the water, then tell me, did I push her with this posture?"

Princess Yun Family thought about it subconsciously upon hearing this, then shook her head. "No."

Yun Qiyue then changed her posture, standing sideways, grabbing Qi Xue's back collar, and pressing down. "Then was it like this?"

Yun Family shook her head upon hearing this.

Next, Yun Qiyue stood in front of the railing herself, looking at Yun Family, scanning the crowd, while Qi Xue was beside her, naturally still being held by her collar.

"Then it must be like this."

At this moment, it was a perfect recreation of the position she and Qi Xue had been in before.

Thus, Yun Family nodded vigorously. "Yes, it was exactly this posture."

The others, scanned by Yun Qiyue, then nodded one after another.

Because, what they had seen was exactly this.

However, the next moment, Yun Qiyue asked a soul-searching question: "Then, may I ask how I could have pushed her down?"

When the crowd heard this, they didn't understand at first.

But soon after they understood, everyone's expressions suddenly changed... ===== CHAPTER 243 =====
