Chapter 178 It’s her!
Chapter 178 It’s her!
Xiao Mingxu stroked his chest and said to Xiao Mingrui beside him,
"Fortunately, our cousin is well-behaved and cute, not as fierce as Meng Yao."
Xiao Mingrui recalled the scene when Jiang Tunan got drunk in Wushizhai that day, broke the chair legs with his bare hands, crawled in the dark in the yard, and dealt with the two kidnappers before. He still remembered the two men crying bitterly.
Well, it’s hard to say.
"Yeah... it's good."
Xiao Mingrui looked at Jiang Tunan, who was enjoying the show, with a complicated expression and sighed silently in his heart.
At least Jiang Tunan has some ability to protect himself.
"Ms. Meng, you are so arrogant!"
Several men dressed as scholars also stood up behind Meng Jing'an. They were all students of the Imperial College. When Su Xiaoxiao went to the Imperial College to deliver food to Su Lanlan, she would prepare an extra portion for these people who had no background.
Because they had received favors from Su Xiaoxiao, they naturally stood up and spoke up for her.
"Xiaoxiao also thanks the gentlemen."
Su Xiaoxiao had already seen Jiang Tunan next to her. Seeing that so many people were speaking for her, Su Xiaoxiao felt a sense of pleasure that she was better than Jiang Tunan.
"What are your names? I want to see how you can challenge the Duke of Rong's Mansion."
Yan Wanqing covered her mouth and laughed a few times, then said leisurely,
"The last person who was disrespectful to the Duke of Rong's Mansion seemed to have been chopped up by Brother Jingchen and fed to the dogs."
The scholars were so frightened that they could not stand steadily, but they still explained with trembling voices,
"We have no intention of offending the Duke of Rong's Mansion. We just hope that Miss Meng will not be so aggressive..."
"I am the niece of Concubine Li. I grew up by her side. If you are dissatisfied with my behavior, then you are dissatisfied with my aunt?"
Those scholars knelt down immediately. Concubine Li was very favored now. How many lives did they have to live to dare to say that?
Meng Yao looked fearless, Yan Wanqing naturally took Meng Yao's hand and said softly,
"Gentlemen, I didn't hear you clearly just now. Do you think Sister Yao did anything wrong?"
"No..No, no."
"I can't wait!"
The scholars were so frightened that they dared not speak anymore. At this moment, they thought that they must have lost their minds just now. How could they dare to go against Meng Yao.
Jiang Tunan: Trible kill, next one!
"Ms. Meng, how can you use your power to oppress others?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked indignant, and when the scholars saw Su Xiaoxiao speaking for them, they felt ashamed.
"You have the ability, and you can use your power, but you don't seem to be qualified."
Meng Yao sneered a few times, and almost told Su Xiaoxiao about her illegitimate status. Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of grievance, and instantly turned red.
"Then I don't know if my power is enough."
On the stairs behind Su Xiaoxiao stood a man with an imposing manner. The patterns on his clothes were all drawn with gold lines, and he had a strong aura standing there. Meng Yao cursed inwardly, "What bad luck! Why is the eldest prince here too?"
"I've met the eldest prince."
Everyone in the hall immediately saluted towards Baili Hong. Jiang Tunan was shocked. There were quite a lot of fish in Su Xiaoxiao's fish pond, from princes to academy scholars. It must be said that Xiao Mingli was under a lot of pressure.
"Miss Meng is so majestic today!"
Baili Hong walked down the stairs step by step, but his eyes were fixed on Meng Yao, giving her a sense of oppression.
"My daughter dare not."
"Xiaoxiao, are you okay?"
The eldest prince came down the stairs and quickly walked to Su Xiaoxiao's side to ask about her well-being. Su Xiaoxiao pouted and said aggrievedly,
"My okay cousin."
Su Lanlan watched the two of them from the side, with endless loneliness in her eyes.
"Ugh."
Jiang Tunan couldn't help but sigh. Xiao Mingrui tilted his head to look at Jiang Tunan.
"what happened?"
"I feel that Su Lanlan is quite pitiful. She and Zhenzhen fell together, and she was injured, but no one cared about her from beginning to end."
Su Lanlan's clothes were not neat, and there were clear bruises on her exposed wrists. Anyone could tell that she might be injured. Ye Ruzhen had already found a chair nearby to sit down and rest, but Su Lanlan still stood there with her back straight, not losing a bit of her etiquette.
"Su Lanlan, you are my little sister, and you are indifferent when you see her being bullied?"
Baili Hong's eyes were full of accusations. Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed Baili Hong's sleeve and advised softly,
"Cousin, don't blame my sister. This is my own problem."
"Xiaoxiao, you are just too naive."
Su Lanlan lowered her eyebrows and replied,
"That's what His Highness taught you."
Jiang Tunan was a little upset. Could Su Lanlan be reborn and chop the two dogs to pieces? She, a bystander, was angry. It was not the momentum you had just confronted with someone, Su Lanlan! !
"Ms. Meng, Xiaoxiao is my cousin. You are bullying her like this, but you don't take me seriously!"
Yan Wanqing thought to herself that it was bad, Meng Yao would definitely not stand a chance against the eldest prince, so she hurriedly called Meng Yao's personal maid over.
"Go and inform your eldest son."
The maid knew that the situation was urgent, so she nodded and blended into the crowd and sneaked out.
"Cousin, I just heard from the people next to me that this series of events happened because Miss Jiang's friend slipped and fell from the upper floor. Is that right, Miss Jiang?"
Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at Jiang Tunan innocently, while Xiao Mingrui frowned imperceptibly.
Jiang Tunan who was suddenly named: Is she sick?
Ye Ruzhen stood up from her chair in a hurry.
"It has nothing to do with Xiaonan, it's me..."
Jiang Tunan held Ye Ruzhen down.
"Just sit still."
Then Jiang Tunan walked up to Su Xiaoxiao with an expressionless face.
"Miss Su Er, what do you mean by this? Are you blaming me?"
"No, I just heard from the people next to me that it was you who suggested to Miss Meng that I ask my sister for Yunjin, but wasn't this incident caused by your friend?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked innocent, and Baili Hong beside her was also a little confused.
"What exactly is going on?"
"As Miss Su said, it was indeed my friend who fell down the stairs and knocked down Miss Su, and then got Miss Meng's dress wet, but my friend was also pushed down the stairs."
Su Xiaoxiao insisted,
"Since someone pushed and shoved, where is that person? Miss Jiang can't just shirk responsibility with empty words."
Ye Ruzhen said angrily,
"Obviously, this matter has nothing to do with Xiaonan, why does Miss Su want to put all the responsibility on Xiaonan?"
Ji Lingyue analyzed carefully and said,
"I think Su Xiaoxiao is deliberately targeting Miss Jiang."
Xiao Mingxu's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he silently winked at the people next to him. Soon someone came out with Leng Qingyan and Ye Ruxuan.
"You said my grandfather came to see me?"
As soon as Leng Qingyan appeared, she was noticed by Jiang Tunan, who pointed at her and shouted,
"It's her!"
