The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 683 Go Spread

If she could kneel down in front of Meng Shisan in the street just to ask for a way to save her father, then she could kneel down in front of Lu Pingting in the Lu Mansion where she was living, and continue to use her status as a cousin of the Lu Mansion to seek stability while gaining a glimmer of hope. It's not that her knees can't bend.

Jiang Ziyao was right about one thing: she could endure, very much.

From the moment she came to Beijing and lived in the Lu Mansion, she had no choice but to endure it.

"You are so shameless that you don't even care about your face in order to achieve your goal!" Lu Pingting has been acting pretentious. As a daughter of the Lu family, she is qualified to act pretentious. She has the title of the most noble lady in the capital. Whether she says so openly or secretly is up to her.

However, she could do this, but she couldn't bear to see Shi Lianchun do this.

In her eyes, Shi Lianchun was just the daughter of a lowly seventh-rank official, and she was the nephew of the current Empress. No matter how much face she gave Shi Lianchun, she was only worthy of carrying her shoes.

But now, when she was under house arrest, Shi Lianchun was openly playing tricks. First, he lured Jiang Ziyao into agreeing to take her to Bixu Manor to watch fishing, and then he took advantage of the manor to flirt with He Yi. He was really despicable!

Not only was she so shameless, and she was a lowly person living in her Lu Mansion, but she, as the daughter of a third-rank official of the current dynasty, was giving Shi Lianchun face by scolding her.

In her eyes, her father would recognize Shi Que as his eldest brother-in-law, but she would not recognize her second aunt who had married the most useless woman.

She had three aunts. The eldest aunt was the Queen of Wei. Although the third aunt was born out of wedlock and married only a local official in Jiangnan, her family was wealthy and she would send her several carts of silks, gold and silver ingots, and the most fashionable jewelry and ornaments in Jiangnan every year. The second aunt not only married a lowly seventh-rank county magistrate, but was also very poor and weak. Whenever something happened, she would just cry to her father endlessly.

It was probably because her father was soft-hearted and still considered the relationship between siblings. Otherwise, she really didn't want to acknowledge Shi Lianchun, a daughter of the seventh rank, as her cousin.

What a shame!

Shi Lianchun knelt straight, and heard Lu Ping's insults constantly coming into her ears. She even pointed at her head and face and scolded her for being so shameless that she didn't even care about her dignity. But her back remained straight.

Lu Pingting can scold her and humiliate her, as long as she is not kicked out of the Lu Mansion. At least until her father is safe and sound, she still needs to continue to serve in the Lu Mansion and still need the identity of the Lu Mansion's cousin.

To do this, she can endure humiliation and bear all costs.

"Are you mute? Or did I say right that you don't have the face to speak?" Lu Pingting's chest was filled with rage, which did not subside after she had been insulting Shi Lianchun for a while. Instead, after seeing Shi Lianchun's indifferent reaction, her rage burned even more fiercely.

Shi Lianchun knew that she had to speak up. In order to put an end to this farce of Lu Pingting taking it out on her, she bowed her head and admitted her fault: "It's Lianchun's fault. Cousin, please don't be angry, or you'll get sick from it."

"Don't think I'll forgive you just because you admit your mistake." Lu Pingting thought she had more questions to ask, so she softened her tone. But she didn't let Shi Lianchun stand up, so she asked him to kneel down and answer her, "I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer them well, I won't pursue the fishing incident today."

Shi Lianchun could only agree: "Cousin, please speak."

"Did Meng Liangchen make an appointment with Princess Yan Hua to go fishing?" Lu Pingting asked the first question.

"I don't know...it shouldn't be." Shi Lianchun didn't want to be beaten, so he could only change the answer to a possible one.

Lu Pingting was not very satisfied with this answer, but this question was not the main point, and she did not want to waste time on it, so she reluctantly passed it and asked the second question with a cold face: "Miss Zhu fell into the water, was she pushed into the water by Meng Liangchen?"

This Shi Lianchun answered affirmatively: "No."

"No?" Lu Pingting's eyes were gloomy, "Then why did Meng Liangchen risk his life to save Miss Zhu?" "Miss Meng can swim, and I heard that she is an excellent swimmer. I think he jumped into the water to save her when he saw her." Shi Lianchun still needed Meng Shisan's help to save her father later. Regardless of whether this answer was from her heart, at this critical juncture, she would not and could not say a bad word about Meng Shisan.

Lu Pingting smiled coldly: "Are you trying to say that Meng Liangchen is kind-hearted? If she is really kind-hearted, then she shouldn't have snatched my man!"

Shi Lianchun thought Meng Shisan was a good person. Even if he wasn't kind-hearted, he was definitely not bad. But when she heard Lu Pingting mention that Meng Shisan had robbed Lu Pingting's people, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Who did Miss Meng rob?"

When she asked, she had an answer in her mind, but she found it hard to believe, so she asked anyway.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Lu Pingting stared at Shi Lianchun and said this through gritted teeth.

Shi Lianchun opened her mouth slightly, but ultimately did not refute.

She fell silent.

And her silence just made Lu Pingting mistakenly believe that she agreed.

After this misunderstanding, Lu Pingting felt a little better. She looked at Shi Lianchun again and saw a bit of pity in Shi Lianchun's eyes and eyebrows, which resembled her second aunt's. "Get up."

She looked down on her second aunt, and of course she never looked up to her cousin Shi Lianchun, who looked like her second aunt.

But she has a good heart, so even if she looks down on others, it's not impossible for her to show some kindness occasionally.

Shi Lianchun glanced at Lu Pingting, who seemed to be doing her a favor, and said, "Thank you, cousin."

Then she stood up, but she didn't dare to leave without permission. She waited there, waiting for Lu Pingting's instructions.

"Meng Liangchen will definitely use some tricks of a foxy woman. The Crown Prince will be completely bewitched by her now." Lu Pingting said bitterly, and then instructed Shi Lianchun, "Go and help me do something."

"What's the matter?" Shi Lianchun had a bad feeling, and his intuition told him that it would definitely not be a good thing.

Of course, Lu Pingting wanted to ruin Meng Shisan's reputation: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put a cloak on Meng Liangchen in public at the Bixu Manor, and then left with Meng Liangchen in his arms. This happened in public."

"Yes."

"Go spread the word that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't mean that, and that he was being so intimate in public today because he fell into Meng Liangchen's trap and had no choice but to do so."

Shi Lianchun was stunned: "Is that true?"

She was also on the water corridor at that time. Although she was some distance away from the lakeshore where Zhu Shu fell into the water, she witnessed the entire incident with her own eyes. She saw clearly Li Shou's arrival and his subsequent actions, as well as Meng Shisan's actions before and after he jumped into the water to save people.

In her opinion, the facts were not what Lu Pingting said.

"Just go when I tell you to go. Why are you talking so much?" Lu Pingting didn't care whether it was true or not. If she wanted to achieve her goal, she had to use some tricks.
