Xia Houkun looked up and met Su Muge’s eyes. After giving her a reassuring look, he turned to Infanta Ceylon.
“What if I have to intervene?”
Infanta Ceylon sneered. “It depends on your ability!” After that, she pulled the whip out of Xia Houkun’s hand.
Xia Houkun originally thought that Infanta Ceylon would behave for his sake. However, she was quite arrogant and outrageous. Since she dared to make him lose face in front of so many people, he wouldn’t let her have her way!
The two instantly began to grapple.
Seeing a prince and an Infanta fighting in his mansion, Minister An was afraid that it would be known to the Emperor.
“Come on! Come on, separate Second Prince and Infanta Ceylon! Hurry up!”
There were also many guards with great martial art skills in An Mansion. A group of people stepped forward and managed to separate the two.
Minister An’s chubby face was covered with cold sweat. “Oh, Second Prince, Infanta Ceylon, can you stop now? There are so many people at the banquet. If you continue to fight, they will be hurt.”
The people attending the birthday banquet were either noble or rich in the capital. Despite their royal identity of prince and Infanta, it would be troublesome if they offended all of these people.
Xia Houkun took the lead to stop. “Sorry for making the trouble, Minister An.”
Minister An hurriedly declined his apology.
Infanta Ceylon was not aimed at Xia Houkun, so she was also tired of fighting with him here.
“I’ll never forget it!” As soon as she withdrew her whip, she began to search for Su Muge in the crowd. Now she could easily know Su Muge’s identity, so she was not afraid of having no opportunity to avenge her!
“Well, well, it’s okay. Come on, hurry to clean up. Let’s continue the banquet. Let’s continue.”
After that, everyone returned to their seats, drinking and watching the opera as if nothing had happened.
Xia Houkun was also looking for Su Muge. He saved her. Shouldn’t she be grateful and bow to thank him? What a rude girl!
Seeing Su Muge targeted by Infanta Ceylon, Su Jingwen couldn’t be more excited in her heart. She wished she could ask Infanta Ceylon how Su Muge had offended her. But at the thought of her hot temper, she gave it up.
Su Muge had left the banquet while Infanta Ceylon and Xia Houkun were fighting. She was not so stupid to fight against Infanta Ceylon.
She was looking for Zhao to go directly back to Su Mansion.
She walked in An Mansion while looking around. Since most servants in the mansion had gone to the banquet, she hadn’t met anyone on the way.
She just didn’t know where Zhao and others were.
“Um … be lighter, lighter…”
As soon as Su Muge walked to a rockery surrounded by a lotus pond, she heard a strange sound coming from the rockery.
She frowned and had no intention to intervene. But when she was about to leave, the movement inside was even more intense.
“Faster, faster …”
Hearing the moaning of the woman and the gasping of the man, Su Muge knew exactly what they were doing inside even if she had no such experience. But she was not interested in it at all.
She turned around to leave but accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground. With the sound of a click, the world immediately turned quiet.
“Who? Who is it?” There came a low rebuke.
Su Muge instantly hid behind the rockery.
Soon, she heard the sound of dressing and someone coming towards her.
Su Muge held her breath and shrank in the dark corner.
A tall and gigantic figure walked towards Su Muge’s hiding place. Seeing nobody, he went away.
“Have you seen it?”
“No, it may be fallen branches of the tree. Hurry to leave, and I’ll go after you.”
“Okay.”
Hearing their conversation, Su Muge widened her eyes in surprise.
No wonder she felt the female voice so familiar; it turned out to be An who had just been taken back by Madam An from Baiyu Temple!
An was making love with a man in An Mansion!
Su Muge instantly thought of Su Lun who had been cheated on.
As for that man…
Su Muge frowned. She always felt that she had heard the man’s voice before, but she couldn’t recall it for a while.
Soon, the man’s heavy footsteps faded away. Su Muge exhaled a sigh of relief secretly. However, she didn’t go out immediately but waited in the rockery for a while.
When she felt almost safe, the footsteps suddenly sounded again, and she instantly held her breath.
The footsteps lingered around her for a while; the man seemed to be making sure that no one was here.
It took a while before he left.
What a vigilant man!
Su Muge rapidly came out of the rockery to leave.
This lotus pond was quite big. To get out of the lotus pond, she had to cross the front corridor.
Just as Su Muge walked into the corridor, she suddenly heard a splash behind. It was very close and right behind her.
As soon as she turned around, she saw someone struggling in the lotus pond.
Falling into the water accidentally?
Su Muge didn’t step forward hurriedly; the person had just fallen into the water, so the person wouldn’t be in danger for a while.
Then she heard a series of footsteps; someone was coming to rescue. So Su Muge intended to leave directly.
“Catch her! She has pushed Your Grace into the water!”
Just as Su Muge took two steps forward, she heard a roar behind. She looked back and found a maid looking at her with anger.
The next moment, the guards behind her rushed towards her and surrounded her.
Su Muge frowned; with so many people, she had no way to resist.
The person had been saved out of the water by someone who could swim. Seeing the clothes of the person, it really seemed to be Infanta Ceylon.
Gradually, more and more people rushed over after hearing the movements. And Su Muge was taken to the crowd by the guards.
“How could Infanta Ceylon fall into the water? Hurry up! Go to invite the doctor!” Minister An was wearing a stern look. On such a good day today, how could there be so much trouble?
“It’s her! She pushed Your Grace into the water. I saw it with my own eyes!”
The maid who had just identified Su Muge uttered again. Only then did Su Muge realize that she was the maid serving Infanta Ceylon.
Hearing the maid’s words, everyone turned to look at Su Muge.
“Sister, even if Infanta Ceylon has a grudge against you, you can’t push her into the water. Infanta Ceylon can’t swim, what if she has really drowned?!” Su Jingwen put on an anxious look, which annoyed people in An Mansion even more.
Infanta Ceylon had an accident in An Mansion, so they certainly couldn’t evade the responsibility!
“Su Muge, how dare you?!” Su Lun was very annoyed; he didn’t expect Su Muge to make such big trouble.
Xia Houkun walked out of the crowd. Seeing Su Muge standing there with a calm face, he felt a little displeased. How could she remain so calm after such a big thing? He wondered if she was really senseless or she was still pretending!
“Lord An, since this matter hasn’t been made clear yet, I’m afraid it’s improper to convict me according to a maid’s words.” Su Muge’s calmness was not pretended indeed. The worst result was that she couldn’t prove her innocence, but she still had a death-free golden medallion!
“What, what do you mean by that? Am I deliberately slandering you?” The maid of Infanta Ceylon had a similar temperament to her master and acted as a real master.
“You know better than anyone else whether you are slandering me. As I was walking on this corridor, I heard you shouting that Infanta Ceylon fell into the water. At that time, there was no one besides you. You claim that I pushed her into the water, but I say it was you. How can you prove your innocence?”
Hearing Su Muge’s words, everyone thought it made sense indeed.
With no evidence for both of them, it was really difficult to judge who was right.
“You resented Infanta Ceylon for shaming you at the banquet, so you found an opportunity to avenge her. However, I’ve been with her for many years. If she has an accident, I won’t be able to evade the responsibility. Why will I hurt her?!”
What an eloquent maid!
“According to you, anyone who has a grudge against Infanta Ceylon may take the initiative to kill her?”
Su Muge knew the current situation very unfavorable to her, especially after the conflict between Infanta Ceylon and her just now.
“My Lord! Oh, no! Infanta Ceylon, she is dying!”
During the dispute, a maid rushed over.
After Infanta Ceylon was rescued, she was carried to a guest room, and the doctor must have already arrived.
“What?!” Hearing this, Minister An was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.
Infanta Ceylon couldn’t die in An Mansion!
“Hurry up! Take my card and go to the palace to invite an imperial doctor!”
“Miss Su has excellent medical skills. Madam An, why not let her have a try?” Xia Houkun spoke timely.
“No! She is to kill Infanta Ceylon. She must not be allowed to get close to her!”
Hearing Xia Houkun’s words, the maid of Infanta Ceylon refused in anger.
Su Muge raised her eyebrows. It was less than a minute after Infanta Ceylon was rescued. Would she be dying so soon?
“There is no imperial doctor with better medical skills than her.” Xia Houkun said coldly.
Minister An finally gritted his teeth and said, “Su Muge, if Infanta Ceylon is really in trouble, do you think you can get away with it?”
Threatening!
It was absolutely threatening!
Su Muge hated most to be threatened!
Her eyes were slightly indifferent. “I can save her, but you have to prove that I am not the one who pushed her into the water.”
“It’s clear that you pushed Infanta Ceylon into the water!”
“You are so funny. If I had pushed her into the water, I must have wanted her to die. Since I want her to die, why should I save her?”
“You, you…” The maid was speechless.
Su Muge looked at Minister An coldly. “My Lord, you should be clear which is more important?”
