Chapter 565 Pretending to be unconscious
Chapter 565 Pretending to be unconscious
Now after hearing what that person said, Jiang Mubai realized that this person was Jiang Jinglan's man, and he deliberately said these words in front of everyone to make everyone misunderstand her.
After this man finished speaking, he deliberately looked at Jiang Mubai. After seeing the look in his eyes, the others had some guesses in their minds. Jiang Mubai was afraid that if he continued like this, his reputation would surely spread among the servants.
He dared to do these little tricks in front of her. Jiang Mubai didn't have the good temper to tolerate this. She didn't care what others thought of her. She came close to Jiang Jinglan and showed concern.
"How did you suddenly fall into the pool? I had only taken two steps and never expected something like this to happen. If I had known that you couldn't stand on your own, I would not have left but would have stayed here with you."
Jiang Mubai dismissed the matter of himself and Jiang Jinglan falling into the water with just a few words. After hearing what Jiang Mubai said, everyone understood what had happened.
Jiang Jinglan saw that the wind had changed, so how could she just do as Jiang Mubai wished? She had already threatened Jiang Mubai long ago that she could not stay in the Jiang family.
Seeing Jiang Mubai acting, she immediately started acting too. "Mubai, why did you do this? Didn't I say those things just to show my concern for you? If you don't like to hear something, just tell me. I won't say it in front of you next time. How could you push me down just because you were so angry?"
After hearing what Jiang Jinglan said, everyone's eyes towards Jiang Mubai changed again. Jiang Mubai wanted to say something, but Jiang Jinglan pretended to faint at this time. The servants panicked and got busy when they saw it.
The reason why Jiang Mubai knew that Jiang Jinglan was pretending to be unconscious was because Jiang Jinglan gave her a smug look before she fell unconscious. When Jiang Mubai received her gaze, Jiang Jinglan fell unconscious.
What happened here alarmed the three people who were discussing the worship in the main house. After Chen Qingyu heard that Jiang Jinglan had fainted, he ran over in a hurry.
"Ouch! What's going on? Isn't Jinglan afraid of water? Why did he suddenly come to this pond? Mubai, why are you here too?"
The person who rescued Jiang Jinglan spoke first without waiting for Jiang Mubai to speak, "Madam, Miss Jinglan said that it was the Second Miss who pushed her into the pool."
"Mu Bai? How could this be? Did you hear it wrong?"
"That's impossible. These people are all here, and they all heard what Miss Jinglan said. Madam, if you don't believe me, you can ask them."
Before Chen Qingyu could open his mouth to ask, these people said at once that they had indeed heard Jiang Jinglan say this with their own ears, and then fainted after he finished speaking.
Jiang Jinglan was now in Chen Qingyu's arms. No matter how Chen Qingyu called her, she had no reaction. Jiang Mubai had expected that she would not wake up, otherwise her accusation against him would not stand up. Only if she fainted now could it be confirmed that Jiang Mubai had pushed her. Now that everyone saw that she had fainted, they would think that she was even less likely to frame Jiang Mubai, and everyone would sympathize with her even more.
Jiang Ping and Jiang An also heard what happened. After Jiang An saw the servant pointed out that it was Jiang Mubai who pushed the person, he immediately came to Jiang Mubai's side to protect him.
"Mu Bai, what's going on?"
"I didn't push her! She fell down by herself."
"Okay, since you said so, then Dad will believe you, brother and sister-in-law, there must be some misunderstanding here. Jinglan fainted, so let's take her back to see a doctor. When she wakes up, we will ask her what happened."
"Yes, yes, there must be a misunderstanding here. Let's take Jinglan back and check her condition first. The child's health is the most important."
"That's right. We still have to hold a memorial ceremony in the afternoon. Don't delay such an important matter."
Jiang Jinglan didn't really faint at all, so she heard what everyone said. Now seeing Jiang Ping talking about the worship, Jiang Jinglan was afraid that everyone would hide it from her and leave her at home without caring about her, so that Jiang Mubai would really return to his roots.
So she became anxious and pretended to be just regaining consciousness. In fact, there was another reason why jjl planned to wake up now. After she was taken back to the main house, there would definitely be a doctor to examine her. By then, the doctor would know that she was pretending to faint, and then her pretending to faint would be exposed.
Jiang Jinglan thought that instead of being exposed, it would be better to wake up now and frame Jiang Mubai in front of everyone. By doing so, he could not only waste time but also ruin Jiang Mubai's plan to go to the ancestral temple to worship. This plan was simply the best of two worlds.
"Jinglan, are you awake? Child, how do you feel now?"
Chen Qingyu had been holding Jiang Jinglan, so of course she could immediately notice any movement of the person in her arms.
"Mom! I thought I would never see you again. I was so scared. Fortunately, Yi Yun arrived in time and found that I fell into the water, otherwise I would really die here today."
Seeing that Jiang Jinglan could still talk so much, Jiang An knew that she was not seriously ill. He was anxious to clear Jiang Mubai's reputation so he did not plan to take Jiang Jinglan back to the main house for questioning. He was anxious so he asked directly here.
"Jinglan, what's going on? Why do they say that Mu Bai pushed you into this? Tell your uncle about this. I know you are a good kid and you will definitely not do such a thing."
Jiang Mubai didn't believe that Jiang An's few words could bring back Jiang Jinglan's conscience. Jiang Mubai had never had any expectations for Jiang Jinglan as a woman.
Facts proved that Jiang Mubai was indeed right. When Jiang Jinglan saw Jiang An asking her questions, she woke him up and repeated what she had said to the servants before. Finally, she said to Jiang An in a pretentious manner: "Uncle, I don't know what happened to Mubai, but you finally found her back. Please don't blame her. After all, we are a family. As her elder sister, I will naturally not hold these things against her."
Hearing Jiang Jinglan say this, Jiang An showed an embarrassed expression on his face. Even if he wanted to favor Jiang Mubai, Jiang Jinglan deliberately said these words in front of so many people, and Jiang An felt embarrassed to favor Jiang Mubai.
His own daughter is his daughter, and Jiang Jinglan is also the daughter of his eldest brother and his wife. If he wants to favor Jiang Mubai, it doesn't necessarily mean that his eldest brother's family doesn't want to make the decision for Jiang Jinglan.
Seeing Jiang An getting into trouble, Jiang Mubai thought that it would be better for her to solve the problem herself, so that Jiang An wouldn't have to be in the middle and not know how to deal with it.
"Sister Jinglan, I don't know what you think of me that you want to frame me like this. I clearly didn't do anything, but you came here and said some inexplicable things to me. I didn't like it and was about to leave, but you fell into the pool by yourself. After you were rescued, you even slandered me for pushing you in."
"It was you who pushed me down! How can you lie like that?"
"But I didn't! There are railings around the pool, and there's no way I could push you when I'm so pregnant."
