C66 I just find it funny
"That's right, you wanted to harm Second Miss Shui, because Second Miss Zuo helped Second Miss Shui, so you wanted to vent your anger on her and push her into the lake." Hou Zhiwen clamored, as though he had seen it with his own eyes.
"What a joke. That day, I found out where I was going to swim. How could I arrange for assassins to go ahead of time?" Shui Qinan asked.
"Stop quibbling. Everyone here saw the crown prince and Second Miss Zuo being assassinated. Even Second Miss Shui can testify!" Hou Zhiwen said again.
"Wait, I didn't see how the crown prince and Second Miss Zuo were assassinated. I only saw them emerge from the water with injuries all over their body. It was still the same saying, I don't know what happened underwater." Hou Qingyu suddenly said.
Hou Zhiwen and Hou Ziming both looked at him furiously. Hou Qingyu's words were like slapping their faces.
"Yu Er can testify!" Hou Ziming said.
"Eunuch Zhou, go call the second young miss." The emperor looked at the Eunuch Zhou behind him and said.
"This subject's daughter, Shui Qiyu, greets the Emperor." Shui Qiyu gently bowed and said with a gentle voice.
"Tsk tsk, she's also a daughter of the Shui family, but the gap between them is so huge. One of them was well-mannered, while the other ? "Heh ?" Hou Zhiwen glanced at Shui Qinan and ridiculed him.
Shui Qinan swept a sharp gaze across them and shuddered before hiding behind Hou Ziming. Seeing Hou Zhiwen's useless actions, the emperor's frown deepened.
"Shui Qiyu, I ask you, can you testify to Shui Qinan killing Zuo Yiyun?" The Emperor asked sternly.
"This subject does not know if the matter in Second Miss Zuo was done by elder sister, but this subject does know that elder sister truly wanted my life, so arranging assassins underwater is not impossible." Shui Qiyu said cautiously.
If she clearly said that Shui Qinan did it, that would cause the Emperor to become suspicious.
"Shui Qinan, you have something to say." the Emperor asked.
"I only feel that it's very funny. All along, it's not that I want her life, but she wants mine." Shui Qinan laughed coldly as she looked at Shui Qiyu and asked, "Did you invite me to swim the lake?"
"Yes." Shui Qiyu replied carefully.
"Then did you tell me that it was the Brook Lake the day we went for a swim? Did I go with you?" Shui Qinan pointed to the crown prince and Shui Qiyu and asked again.
"..." "Yes." Shui Qiyu instantly understood the intention of Shui Qinan's question. She felt extremely regretful for not telling him in advance where to swim in the lake.
"Very good, since I only found out which lake it was that day, and it was also the Xizi Lake that you guys went to. What time do I have to arrange the killers? Furthermore, the Xizi Lake is so big, how would I know where to place the killers? " Shui Qinan said in an overbearing manner.
"This... How can I be clear about this, but you will always push Second Miss Zuo down! " Shui Qiyu was a little flustered as she quickly replied.
"I pushed it? Are you sure? " The corner of Shui Qinan's mouth hooked up into a sneer as she spoke in a clear and cold tone.
"Of course, it was just the three of us, who else could it have been other than you?" Shui Qiyu calmly replied. After Shui Qinan heard this, she shook her head and laughed brilliantly. "You also said that it was only the three of us, why didn't you push it?"
"Stop arguing, Shui Qiyu, let me ask you, you can only prove that Shui Qinan pushed the Second Miss Zuo into the water, but you cannot prove that the killer was sent by Shui Qinan, is that true?" The emperor's deep voice slowly resounded in the hall.
"Yes." Shui Qiyu replied weakly.
"Then why did the crown prince and Ol 'Six say that you could prove that Shui Qinan had sent assassins to hide at the bottom of the lake?" The emperor questioned sternly.
"Those people claimed that they were ordered by sister to kill my daughter, and said that she would push her into the water and let them get rid of her in the water. However, I don't want to believe that my sister would be so cruel to my daughter, because my daughter thinks that it was just a misunderstanding." Shui Qiyu choked with sobs as she looked at the emperor with tears streaming down her face.
"Yu Er, you're still speaking up for her even at a time like this, why are you so stupid?" Hou Ziming looked at Shui Qiyu with a face full of tender affection.
He then sighed and looked towards the emperor, "Royal father, Yu Er is very kind, but it's fine if she doesn't want to kill Shui Qinan.
"That's right, royal father. You should know about Shui Qinan's character as well. It's clear that she wants to take care of whoever is unhappy. " Hou Zhiwen did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
"That's not right, Imperial Father. That day, Sai'er of the family was present as well. Someone provoked Miss Shui first, and Miss Shui was so angry that she wanted to take care of them, thus mistakenly injuring Sixth and Seventh Brother." Hou Qingyu interjected in an indifferent tone.
"Then is she arrogant?" Hou Zhiwen asked.
"I feel that Miss Shui's actions are advisable, a person of character." As Hou Qingyu said this, he glanced at Shui Qinan with praise, causing him to be unable to say a single word.
Seeing that, Hou Ziming's face gradually became gloomy, Hou Qingyu was obviously going against him!
"Since the Second Miss Zuo hasn't awakened yet, it's naturally because no one can prove that it was you who pushed him." Shui Qiyu did not know that Second Miss Zuo was no longer in Zuo?s Mansion but that she was taken away by Shui Qinan, and said stubbornly.
"You want Second Miss Zuo to confront you?" Shui Qinan's eyes were as calm as the lake, and she asked coldly.
"Of course." Shui Qiyu said.
"Then may I ask Your Majesty to be the witness? In two days, I will definitely get Zuo Yiyun to personally say who pushed her." Shui Qinan said to the emperor in a clear voice.
The Emperor hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly. Shui Qinan looked at Shui Qiyu again and asked with a smile: "What about you, do you dare to confront me in two days?"
Shui Qiyu looked at Hou Ziming from the corner of her eyes, and Hou Ziming bowed his head to indicate her to agree. He knew that Zuo Yiyun had disappeared for no reason, and was afraid that Shui Qinan did not know, so he thought that he could still cure Zuo Yiyun.
But Shui Qinan was really capable, he almost let her save Zuo Yiyun.
Seeing Hou Ziming nod at her, his tensed mood immediately lightened. He gently smiled and said: "Since big sister wants to fight so badly, then little sister will wait for you for two days."
Shui Qinan shook her head. Don't think that she didn't know about the little trick between Shui Qiyu and Yue Yang. Hou Ziming only dared to get Shui Qiyu to agree because he knew that Zuo Yiyun was not in the Zuo?s Mansion anymore.
Mn, she was looking forward to see Shui Qiyu's and Hou Ziming's expressions when they meet again in two days.
Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of him today, the Emperor waved his hand to disperse them.
Shui Qinan quickly walked out, and Shui Qiyu only thought that Shui Qinan was going to look for him in Zuo?s Mansion. After she walked out of the Palace Entrance, she asked Hou Ziming in a low voice, "Zi Ming, will she really treat Zuo Yiyun?"
