Chapter 2621 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
The maid pushed Shi Li towards the lake in silence.
At this moment, the barrage of * was almost filling up the entire empty screen.
"Don't worry about me." Shi Li soothed the barrage, and then looked at the lake in front of her calmly.
The breeze ruffled the surface of the lake, creating circle after circle of ripples.
Although he seemed to be concentrating on the scenery, his peripheral vision was always paying attention to his surroundings.
First, I saw Zhong Shanlang standing outside a pavilion not too far from here, and I would occasionally glance at him. Then I saw a woman walking hurriedly towards me with a tea tray in her hand.
The reason why I noticed this woman dressed as a maid was simply because she walked too fast and did not have the calmness that a maid in the princess's mansion should have.
Shi Li turned her head and said to her maid, "Please keep an eye on that maid for me. She's so reckless. Don't let her bump into me."
The maid beside her didn't pay attention at first, but after hearing these words, she realized that the other party was in a hurry. She immediately stood sideways in front of Shi Li and stared at the maid very vigilantly.
Liu Xiyan didn't expect that before she could do anything, she had been targeted by Shi Li and his servant.
She and Zhong Shanlang were childhood sweethearts, but things are unpredictable, and they separated after growing up. She went to work as a maid in the princess's mansion, and met Zhong Shanlang a few days ago, and finally recognized him.
Just now, Zhong Shanlang quietly found her and asked her to help with something. Liu Xiyan was reluctant at first, but she couldn't resist Zhong Shanlang's earnest eyes and pleading.
"Xi Yan, you are the one who knows me best. I have a lot of ambitions but I don't know how to realize them. Can you help me..."
Liu Xiyan couldn't bear to see him frustrated, so she agreed softly.
She was not stupid. Even if Zhong Shanlang did not tell her the whole plan, she could almost guess what he wanted to do, and she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Forget it. She came from a humble background and couldn’t help Zhong Shanlang at all. It was already very good enough that she could do something for him.
Liu Xiyan thought to herself as she walked to Shi Li and pretended that her hand slipped and she couldn't hold the tray firmly. Then she accidentally bumped into Shi Li while picking up something and knocked him and his wheelchair into the lake.
Even though she couldn't avoid severe punishment afterwards, she was happy to be able to help Zhong Shanlang.
It was a good idea, but unfortunately she was blocked by the maid beside Shi Li as soon as she approached, and the tea tray fell from her hands, but she couldn't get close to Shi Li no matter what, let alone knock her into the lake.
"Why are you so clumsy as a maid? What do you want to do?"
The maidservant beside Shi Li frowned, staring at the things on the ground and the panicked Liu Xiyan, "What if she bumps into our young lady?"
The plan could not be implemented, and Liu Xiyan was so panicked that her face turned pale. She squatted down to pick up things while apologizing. She raised her eyes inadvertently and met Shi Li's calm eyes.
This made her suddenly feel guilty, as if all the hidden calculations in her heart had been discovered.
This is impossible!
Liu Xiyan stood up hurriedly, and saw Zhong Shanlang's disappointed face not far away from the corner of her eye. She made up her mind and took a step forward stubbornly.
"Miss Shi, I'm really sorry to disturb you. I'll apologize to you!" She was still thinking about getting closer and bumping into the person as planned, but she no longer had the chance.
The maidservant beside Shi Li was alert to the fact that something was wrong, so she stretched out her hand and pushed the person away, then shouted, "Someone, come here! This maidservant is trying to harm my young lady!"
With a shout, everyone around looked over.
Liu Xiyan hadn't reacted yet after being pushed away. After hearing these words, her face turned pale and she knelt down in panic.
"No, I have no intention of harming Miss Shi!"
Only then did she realize that not only could the plan not be carried out as Zhong Shanlang had expected, she was not sure whether she could get away with it today.
Seeing such a big commotion, Princess Chaoxia was alarmed and rushed over immediately.
After approaching, he looked at Liu Xiyan, then at the expressionless Shi Li, and immediately apologized, "Miss Shi, I'm really sorry to bother you. I will deal with this servant."
"It's okay, but I find it strange. She seemed to come towards me on purpose. I don't know if I have offended her before."
Shi Li smiled faintly, but what she said made Princess Chaoxia look even worse.
"Someone, hold her down!" Princess Chaoxia made a prompt decision and had Liu Xiyan taken away. She then whispered a few words to her maid.
A moment later, the maid brought a brocade box. Princess Chaoxia took it and handed it to Shi Li personally.
"Miss Shi, this pearl hairpin suits you very well."
Although she didn't say it explicitly, this was her apology to Shi Li.
Shi Li glanced at the maid and asked her to accept it. She said modestly, "Today is your birthday, so I will respectfully obey your order."
"Miss Shi, you don't have to be polite to me." Princess Chaoxia lost face and gave gifts, so her smile was very forced.
This accident is finally over.
In the original plot, Liu Xiyan did knock the original owner into the lake, giving Zhong Shanlang the opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty.
