Madam Jin's lungs were about to burst from anger. She pointed at Yao Banxia and was speechless for a long time.
Yao Qingdai, who was secretly watching from outside, wished she could come and tear Banxia into pieces.
Thinking that no one should have seen that incident at that time, she walked out boldly: "Sister, when did I go to the pond with you? Please don't accuse me wrongly."
In one sentence, she denied everything Banxia had said before.
Madam Jin's expression improved. She looked at Banxia and scolded: "Banxia, Qingdai is your sister after all. How could you frame her like this? Do you know that this will damage your sister's reputation?"
Banxia thought, 'I know they will deny it and thought that no one else has seen it.'
However, she had already thought of this, otherwise she would not have rashly identified it.
"Have you? Just ask the servants in the mansion and you will know that there will be always one or two who will see it in such a big mansion."
Shaoyao immediately stood up: "At that time, I was sent away to get things, so I asked Xiao Hu and Sun Da to take care of the young miss on my behalf. Xiao Hu was afraid to be found out so she could only watch in hiding. After that, Xiao Hu immediately called for someone to rescue the young miss when she fell into the water."
Before Madam Jin could speak, Uncle Yao immediately said: "Let Xiao Hu and Sun Da come over and question them."

Before Madam Jin could speak, Uncle Yao immediately said: "Let Xiao Hu and Sun Da come over and question them."
Yao Qingdai got panicked when she heard it. If the maids were to be questioned, wouldn't she be convicted of murdering her sister?
Madam Jin didn't expect that Shaoyao was such a thoughtful girl.
She actually found two people to look after Banxia secretly. It was hard to argue if it was to be confirmed.
Madam Jin immediately said: "Wait..."
The maid who went out to call for the witnesses stopped immediately, not knowing whether to continue or stay.
Uncle Yao and the others who were presented at the hall looked at Madam Jin in confusion. In their heart, the image of Madam Jin was like a Bodhisattva, but at this moment, the impression has been shattered.
"Did you accidentally push your younger sister into the pond? Please answer truthfully, I believe that your uncle and aunt wouldn't argue with you too much because you're still young and ignorant."
Yao Qingdai understood immediately and quickly knelt down and said: "Mother, I suddenly tripped on a stone and accidentally pushed my younger sister into the pond. I'm so sorry..."
Look at how good you pair of mother and daughter describe it! Your evilness turned into an accident. You are so eloquent!
Madam Jin pretended to be angry: "Since it was an accident, why didn't you say anything earlier?"
Yao Qingdai's tears flowed down, as if she was the one who was almost killed.
"Mother, I, I'm scared and anxious. I dare not say to say it mother, I'm wrong, wuwuwu..."
Her appearance was like an ignorant child who has done something wrong, and the onlookers can't bear to blame.
Banxia had long known that this would be the case, and also knew that this incident alone would never bring down that mother and daughter duo.
So she immediately begged: "Uncle, elder sister didn't mean it. Don't blame her. Please, uncle."
Uncle Yao looked at Banxia. In his eyes, the children he raised were all good.
So he sighed and said, "You are really a kind-hearted girl. I really can't do anything about you, so let's leave it like this!"

This was the first time the Jin family suffered a loss, and naturally they felt very uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.
However, what can be done now that the matter has come to this, They can only avoid themselves from having to be interrogated and it will be even more embarrassing if the truth comes to light.

"Miss, it's late at night, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Yao Banxia looked at the sleepy Shaoyao and asked, "Have you packed your luggage? We will leave soon for the capital."
"Yes." Shaoyao yawned very sleepily, nodded and replied, "We're going to leave early tomorrow morning, so I must pack it in advance."

"Yes." Shaoyao yawned very sleepily, nodded and replied, "We're going to leave early tomorrow morning, so I must pack it in advance."
Banxia nodded in satisfaction. It was still a bit hot in this early autumn.
Banxia pointed to the window and said: "Close the doors and windows tightly."
Upon hearing this, Shaoyao was stunned: "Miss, it's such a hot day, wouldn't it be too stuffy to close the doors and windows tightly?"
"Just do as I said. Where does all this nonsense come from?" Banxia glared at Shaoyao.
Only then did Shaoyao slowly go forward and close the doors and windows tightly, complaining in her heart but not daring to say anything.
Then, she saw Banxia sitting in front of the bronze mirror, touching and tearing her face again and again.
Shaoyao was puzzled: "Miss, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Speak."
Shaoyao said boldly: "Miss, Miss Qingdai is the most beautiful woman in the capital. We can't do anything about it. None can change the fact. Even if you mess with your face and keep tearing it, it won't make it look better!"
The most beautiful woman in capital? Yao Banxia narrowed her eyes slightly.
In her previous life, Qingdai deceived everyone because of her beautiful skin.
Brother Yi was also deceived because of her face.
Thinking of this, her heart ached. The man who had always been cold to everyone as if a mountain, but was always gentle to her.
However, behind this gentleness, it turned out he was actually a great scumbag.
"Miss, young miss, what are you thinking about?" Shaoyao looked at Banxia in confusion.
Banxia came back to her sense and hid the hatred in her eyes.
In her past life, how did Qingdai tore off the thin skin-mask on her face?
Yao Banxia tried many times but couldn't find any flaw, as if the thin skin was her own face.
She closed her eyes and tried to recall the position where it was torn off by Qingdai.
Suddenly her eyes opened. It was behind the ears!
Banxia carefully put her fingers behind her ears and immediately heard a ripping-off sound.
Sure enough, the thin skin-mask on the face was pulled off easily by Banxia.
Shaoyao, who was chattering endlessly, opened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Banxia's beautiful face.
"Miss, you, you..."
Banxia's pair of eyes were as bright as the moon and as dazzling as the stars in the sky, making people in trance.
Her facial features were so exquisite that she looks like a fairy walking out of a painting, but she looked more bright and real than a fairy.
Her temperament was like an orchid, and her beauty was like the moon and jade. It was no exaggeration to say that she will be capable to captivate the whole country.
Just one glance and people would fall into trance and got obsessed.
Now, Banxia finally understood the jealousy in Qingdai's eyes, the real reason why the most beautiful woman in the capital was jealous of her was all because of this face!
After understanding everything, she immediately put on the thin skin-mask again.
Shaoyao, who was stunned, came back to her senses instantly because the peerless beauty in front of her suddenly disappeared.
"Miss, what is going on?"
Yao Banxia did not immediately answer Shaoyao's words, but smeared the 'beauty cream' given by her stepmother on her face. Sure enough, the skin as thin as a cicada was tightly connected to her own skin again. It fit perfectly as if it was her own skin.
No wonder Madam Jin told her to apply this beauty cream every morning and night. It turned out that her true appearance had been deliberately obscured by her stepmother.
"Miss..."
Shaoyao was so worried that she even doubted whether her young lady had been possessed.
"Well, don't tell anyone about this."
"Miss..."
"For so many years, my stepmother has been hiding my true appearance, so even if I go back to the capital, I can't compete with Qingdai as the number one beauty."
"I see. But, miss, why are you still wearing that fake face?"
Yao Banxia's lips curled up with a smile: "In the future, this face should be used to expose my stepmother's fake Bodhisattva image to the public. However, right now, I have to hide and protect it."
"Okay, miss, Shaoyao understood and will definitely not leak it."
Yao Banxia then went to sleep with peace of mind. In the previous life, Madam Jin asked her people to spread the news that she had foolishly fell into the pond, ruining her reputation as a lady who can't even walk properly.
Before she even arrived at Marquis Yao Mansion, the news had already reached the capital, and she became a laughing stock in the capital from then on.
Banxia pointed to the window and said: "Close the doors and windows tightly."
Upon hearing this, Shaoyao was stunned: "Miss, it's such a hot day, wouldn't it be too stuffy to close the doors and windows tightly?"
