Chapter 430: Consecutive Poison Plans

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At that moment, the two young ladies advanced steadily toward Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning.

One of the ladies purposely collided with Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning.

But Qin Zhenzhen would not let her succeed. She swiftly evaded the collision, pulling Su Ning along with her. With a deft move, she extended her leg and hooked the foot of the lady who had bumped into them.

The lady couldn’t regain her balance and was propelled toward the tampered railing.

With a resounding crack, the weakened railing gave way.

The young lady was taken aback. She realized she had failed to harm them and had instead fallen into Qin Zhenzhen’s trap.

Facing an imminent fall into the river, she hastily clutched the clothes of the young lady next to her.

As expected, both young ladies tumbled into the river simultaneously.

By that point, Qin Zhenzhen had already grasped Su Ning’s hand and raised her voice, exclaiming, “Someone has fallen into the water! Help, quick!”

Su Ning observed the unfolding scene and quickly comprehended the situation. She now understood why her Third Sister-in-law had been so adamant about her staying by her side since boarding the ship. It had become evident that someone intended to harm them.

The perpetrator was undoubtedly the Fifth Princess.

But what was the Fifth Princess’s motive?

The young lady beside her also raised her voice in alarm. “Someone has fallen into the water! Please, save them!”

The guards, who had been stationed on the riverbank in readiness, immediately leaped into action to initiate the rescue.

Not far away, the Fifth Princess whirled around, seething with anger.

“Why didn’t she fall in?”

The person who was supposed to tumble into the river remained untouched, while the one who shouldn’t have fallen ended up taking the plunge.

Unaware of the events that had transpired, the Fifth Princess believed that Qin Zhenzhen had merely been lucky and had not realized that her scheme had been exposed.

Rushing back, the Fifth Princess interrogated Qin Zhenzhen, “Mrs. Su, what just happened?”

Many other young ladies followed the Fifth Princess.

“I don’t know what occurred, ” Qin Zhenzhen replied.

She continued, “The two ladies were engrossed in conversation a moment ago and weren’t paying attention. They accidentally collided with the railing. When that section of the railing gave way with a snap, they both fell into the river. I tried to prevent it, but they fell too quickly.”

The Fifth Princess clenched her teeth in frustration, her rage intensifying, and she was on the verge of uttering a curse.

Now, it was apparent that Qin Zhenzhen had seen through their plot, a fact discernible from her eyes.

At that moment, the guards had successfully rescued the two ladies.

Upon observing their disheveled appearance, a fierce glint appeared in Qin Zhenzhen’s eyes.

The clothing of the two submerged young ladies had been torn open, exposing half of their fair chests. It was evident that the guards had deliberately ripped their garments.

Without instructions, these guards would not have dared to carry out such actions.

The Fifth Princess’s intentions went beyond pushing Qin Zhenzhen into the water. Her sinister scheme also entailed tearing her clothes and tarnishing her reputation.

“That’s not right!” Qin Zhenzhen’s mind raced as she considered a troubling possibility.

When the two young ladies had plunged into the river, she distinctly saw the Crown Prince hurry towards the stern. It appeared as if he intended to jump in to rescue them, but he had refrained.

The reason became clear to her: he had recognized that it wasn’t her who had fallen into the water, so he had changed his mind.

This revelation unveiled a series of sinister plots. If she had tumbled into the water, the plan was for the guards to tear her clothes off first. Then, the Crown

Prince would purportedly save her and carry her ashore, creating the impression that they had been in close physical contact.

But that wasn’t all. It was likely that the Crown Prince would have taken advantage of the situation and acted inappropriately while purportedly saving her..
