Chapter 77: Who is the Culprit?

Book:The Counterattack of the Princess Published:2024-6-2

“I…” It seems that Bai Yiyi wants to say something, but pretends to be hesitant. She raises her head and looks at Yan Ling and then lowers her head as if she is afraid to say anything.
Bai Xueying seems to be very anxious. Seeing Bai Yiyi raise her head and take a look at Yan Ling, she immediately stands up and points to Yan Ling’s nose aggressively.
Bai Xueying asks furiously, “only you and Yiyi were here just now. Did you push Yiyi into the water? Why did you do this? ”
Yan Ling hears this and immediately frowns. In other people’s eyes, Bai Xueying did this because she wanted to build up her image as a good sister who stood out to protect her sister who was harmed.
But Yan Ling thinks more. It’s not her being suspicious but she has seen too many people like Bai Xueying who disguise their conspiracies in their hearts by pretending to be impulsive persons.
What’s more, Bai Yiyi did take a look at Yan Ling, but her action is not obvious. If it were someone else, they might not notice it at all, but Bai Xueying immediately stands out and blames Yan Ling.
This makes people doubt what is in Bai Xueying’s mind. Now, many people have come to watch, and Bai Xueying’s sudden blame makes people focus on Yan Ling.
In other words, the reason Bai Xueying stands up is to give Yan Ling a crime. People are all preconceived. If people first hear such a saying, even if Yanling can explain, the effect will be much worse.
Although Bai Xueying feels uncomfortable when Yan Ling stares at her, as if her thoughts have been seen through. But Bai Xueying, after all, is not a real brainless girl like Bai Yiyi. She will not show any difference because of her anxiety in her heart.
“Xueying, so many people are here. Pay attention to your words.” Says Bai Feifei, the oldest daughter of the Bais.
“But sister, you see, it’s clearly that a Yan bullied a Bai. No matter what kind of resentment our two families have, has Yiyi done something wrong?” Bai Xueying seems to be very dissatisfied for being stopped by Bai Feifei and says with her red eyes.
Bai Feifei frowns but ignores Bai Xueying. Instead, she turns to look at Yan Ling and says, “It is really my sister who was rude just now. But there is no problem in saying this. Lady Yan intentionally pushed my sister into the water today, shouldn’t you give us an explanation? ”
Bai Feifei seems to be self-contained and keeps reserved when she speaks. However, her meaning is still the same as that of Bai Xueying– to set Yan Ling a charge no matter what the truth is.
Yan Ling suddenly burst into a sneer, and the Bai sisters are really perfect cooperators. On the surface, they let her explain, but they have already been sure that she is the real culprit. What else can be explained?
“Since the two ladies of the Bai have already made sure that I am the culprit who pushed your sister into the water, then what do you want me to explain?” Yan Ling doesn’t hide the irony in her tone.
Everyone around has believed the Bai sisters’ words, but now Yan Ling doesn’t explain, but mocks them with such a tone, which makes them dumbfounded and even hesitant.
Bai Xueying and Bai Feifei did not expect this. After all, if it were someone else, they would be in a panic and want to explain. Their incoherent explanation would make others suspect more.
It is beyond their expectation that Yan Ling could be so calm at this time. What’s more, Yan Ling’s sarcastic words make Bai Xueying and Bai Feifei feel embarrassed.
“What do you mean? Was there anyone else here just now?” Seeing that people are discussing with doubt, Bai Xueying quickly asks in a loud voice.
Yan Ling is still very calm. She smiles and says carelessly: “it is interesting, Lady Bai. Since there were only two of us here, how could you be so sure that I pushed your sister into the water?”
Bai Xueying is stunned, and subconsciously explains: “I did not see, but…”
Hearing this, Yan Ling doesn’t intend to let her continue, so she directly interrupts her: “there is no evidence. Lady Bai, you didn’t even see it and you dare to slander me in front of the public, saying that I am the culprit. Isn’t it ridiculous?”
Princess Zhaoyan was worried about Yan Ling, but she is relieved when she sees that Yan Ling can handle them easily now. Sure enough, these people are not the opponents of Yan Ling as long as they can’t provide evidence.
“You said you Bais deserved an explanation. Then shouldn’t you give an explanation to the Prime Minister’s House now that you slander the first daughter of Yans?” Princess Zhaoyan also helps.
“Even if I don’t see it, how could you say that I slandered her? There’s no one else here. My sister fell into the water. Did she jump by herself?” Bai Xueying doesn’t show any weakness.
“Well, you’re right. Your sister did jump into the lake on her own. But the difference is that she wanted to push Yan Ling into the water, and then she accidentally fell down.” Princess Zhaoyan has heard Yan Ling’s story and is angry now.
“How did you know, My Princess? If I remember correctly, you came here after my sister fell into the water. I suppose you were not a witness.” Bai Feifei suddenly asks.
“Of course, the involver told me! Yan Ling, am I right? “Princess Zhaoyan says subconsciously.
Princess Zhaoyan did not see how it happened, but she believes that Yan Ling would not lie to her. However, Princess Zhaoyan forgets that even if she believes her, others will not believe Yan Ling.
“Hum! My Princess, I know you are good friends, but you can’t give a false testimony. It’s very likely that Yan Ling is the culprit. How can her words count?” Bai Xueying snorts and says disdainfully.
“Well, what Yan Ling said is not trustworthy. Then are your sister’s words believable? I want to hear what your sister told you!” Princess Zhaoyan suddenly smiles.
Bai Xueying doesn’t realize what Princess Zhaoyan is planning, so she just subconsciously says, “my sister told me that Yan Ling pushed her into the water because she didn’t want her to get close to the Crown Prince.”
As soon as she says this, Princess Zhaoyan and Yan Ling both have a meaningful smile on their faces. They thought that Bai Xueying was cunning, but with a few words she has been exposed.
