Chapter 182 It doesn't hurt
"It was Miss Jiang who pushed me, and I knocked Miss Meng down. Miss Meng, you should have seen it too!"
"I do not..."
Meng Yao answered hesitantly. At that time, she was only focused on walking forward and didn't pay attention to the movements of the people around her.
"Didn't you see?"
Meng Jingchen spoke lightly, his eyes turned to Meng Yao's face, with a hint of oppression in his eyes. Meng Yao immediately sobered up and changed his words.
"I saw it! It was Leng Qingyan who pushed it!"
After saying that, Meng Yao also pushed Yan Wanqing beside her. Although Yan Wanqing was dizzy, she also spoke.
"Yeah, yeah, I saw that too."
Leng Qingyan was so angry that she almost fainted. At this time, Su Xiaoxiao spoke up to persuade her,
"Your Highness, Second Prince, Master Meng, how could Miss Leng be that kind of person? Could it be that you made a mistake?"
Meng Jingchen responded without hesitation,
"Miss Su Er means that my sister lied?"
"That's what I'm saying, Su Xiaoxiao, don't slander me. I, Meng Yao, am upright and never do anything deceitful."
Su Lanlan didn't bother to look at Meng Yao's expression, and she didn't know who cheated in the girls' school's year-end exam last year and was almost caught, but she didn't want to speak up to help Su Xiaoxiao and Leng Qingyan.
Meng Jingchen frowned, looked at his sister with difficulty, and then said solemnly,
"Miss Leng was knocked down after pushing someone. It seems that she was not wrongly beaten. But why did the two young ladies of the Su family do that?"
"I..I was standing there fine, and I don't know why I just fell down."
Su Lanlan took over Su Xiaoxiao's words and continued,
"I came here to rescue my sister."
Meng Jingchen nodded and seemed to have made a decision.
"That means Second Miss Su was watching the show too close to the front, and was injured by mistake. Then, First Miss Su was also eager to protect her sister, so she had no choice but to join in. As for my younger sister, it was a completely unprovoked disaster, and she was simply implicated by Miss Leng."
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to speak up to defend herself, but Meng Jingchen did nothing wrong. She just felt something was weird.
Leng Qingyan: So the fault is all mine.
"According to what Master Meng said, my cousin suffered such an injustice because of her own fault?"
Baili Hong looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was sobbing beside him, and felt a surge of anger rising up in his head.
"I didn't say that."
Meng Jingchen shrugged, his tone very playful.
"cousin,"
Su Xiaoxiao spoke weakly, with tears still on her face. Baili Hong loved her even more.
"It's all Xiaoxiao's fault. Xiaoxiao shouldn't have blamed Miss Jiang just now. It's Xiaoxiao's fault..."
Jiang Tunan: Hello?
Jiang Tunan felt that he should wake up, and it would be impolite to faint again.
"Ahem... it hurts..."
Jiang Tunan pretended to have just woken up, and then casually revealed the bruises on his arm.
"cousin!"
Xiao Mingxu was about to pounce again, but was stopped by Xiao Mingrui with one hand.
"Are you injured anywhere? Tell your cousin. Even if your cousin can't make the decision for you today, I will tell my father when we get back and let him make the decision!"
The second prince Baili Hao took advantage of the opportunity and said,
"Don't worry, Third Young Master Xiao. Lord Xiao has devoted himself to his country and is a good official who serves the country and the people. I am here today and will definitely uphold justice for the people of the Xiao Mansion."
As he spoke, Baili Hao glanced at Baili Hong.
Baili Hao: So what? I am more considerate than you~
Baili Hong: (gritting teeth)
When Xiao Mingrui saw the wounds on Jiang Tunan's body, his eyes were deep and his tone made people feel that he seemed a little unhappy.
"Where are your cousins injured?"
Jiang Tunan left Xiao Mingrui's shoulder and turned around a few times in a somewhat exaggerated manner, saying as he turned around,
"Ouch my elbow~"
Xiao Mingrui:?
"Oh my Bolenggai~"
Meng Jingchen: ...
"Oh my lumbar disc~"
Baili Hao asked sincerely,
"Are you all hurt?"
Jiang Tunan glanced at Baili Hao and said,
"It doesn't even hurt."
Baili Hao: My character today is considerate, calm, and cool...
Xiao Mingxu staggered a few steps, then smiled awkwardly,
"My cousin is... quite serious."
Su Xiaoxiao, supported by Guo'er, walked to Jiang Tunan in a weak manner, then bowed politely.
"Ms. Jiang, I misunderstood you just now. I apologize to you now. Please don't mind."
Jiang Tunan waved his hand casually, looking nonchalant.
"Since you have apologized sincerely, I will show my mercy and forgive you."
Su Xiaoxiao:? No...
They shouldn't have been humble to each other for a few rounds at this time, but why did Jiang Tunan agree directly?
"Miss Su has already apologized, so what about Miss Leng?"
Leng Qingyan was called out by Xiao Mingrui, and she knew she could no longer defend herself, so she could only speak unconvincedly.
"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry."
"And my sisters."
Leng Qingyan raised her head in anger.
"What does this mean, Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Tunan narrowed his eyes slightly, but Leng Qingyan felt as if Jiang Tunan's eyes saw through her.
"Whether Miss Leng did something or not, only Miss Leng knows it in her heart."
Jiang Tunan moved closer to Leng Qingyan and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear,
"Both princes are here today. If we find a witness later, you will be charged with murdering a female student."
Leng Qingyan's expression was distorted for a moment, but soon returned to normal. With her hair loose and her clothes messy, Leng Qingyan walked up to Ye Ruzhen and saluted,
"Sister Ruzhen, I'm sorry."
Leng Qingyan lowered her eyes to hide the resentment in her eyes.
"Now that the matter has been resolved, let's all go."
Qi Guanming came out to mediate at the right time, and the result now is still very fair. Everyone has been hurt equally, but Jiang Tunan and Ye Ruzhen received an extra apology.
"Brother, what about me?"
Meng Yao pointed at herself aggrievedly. She was just standing there and was inexplicably splashed with tea. Then she was knocked down by Leng Qingyan. Although she had a fight with someone, she was also hurt.
"You deserve it. Go back and reflect on your mistakes."
Meng Jingchen waved his hand, and Ziwen took people to send Meng Yao and Yan Wanqing back. Leng Qingyan was also helped out of Yuzhu Tower by the maid, and when she passed by Jiang Tunan, she said lightly,
"Jiang Tunan, we'll meet at the girls' school."
Baili Hong knew that he could not continue the meal, so he left with the Su family. Su Yangxu had taken a nap in the room, so he didn't know what happened outside. He just saw that everyone around him had sad faces, and he was curious.
"Why do you all look so bitter? Did I miss something?"
"Shut up, you."
Su Lanlan pushed Su Yangxu away and got on the carriage first, leaving Su Yangxu standing there in a daze.
In the hall, because Ye Ruzhen was injured, Ji Lingyue and Qi Guanming accompanied her to a nearby clinic. In the end, only the Second Prince and the Xiao and Meng families were left.
Baili Hao stared at Jiang Tunan's face, not knowing what he was thinking. Jiang Tunan just felt that Baili Hao's gaze made her very uncomfortable. It felt as if he was looking at something valuable, so Jiang Tunan hid behind Xiao Mingrui and Xiao Mingxu.
Xiao Mingrui noticed Jiang Tunan's action and said,
"Thank you for your help just now, Second Prince. I will go back and tell my father about what happened today. I will let my father go and thank His Royal Highness the Second Prince someday."
Baili Hao waved his hand, but his eyes were on Jiang Tunan.
"Why bother Lord Xiao with such a small matter? However, I am very curious about the rumored Miss Jiang. Before, my father praised Miss Jiang for a long time in front of all the civil and military officials in the court."
Baili Hao took a few steps towards Jiang Tunan.
"I heard that Miss Jiang has passed the entrance exam for girls' school. So Miss Jiang will also be attending Imperial College in the future. It seems that we will see each other often in the future."
Jiang Tunan didn't understand what Baili Hao was trying to do, but the other party was a prince, so Jiang Tunan answered casually and could only look at Xiao Mingrui.
"My cousin is dull and not as good as Your Highness thinks. I am afraid she will disappoint Your Highness's expectations."
Xiao Mingrui held Jiang Tunan's hand and stepped back a few steps.
"My cousin is still injured and needs to recover immediately. I will take my leave now."
After saying that, Xiao Mingrui took Jiang Tunan away, and Xiao Mingxu immediately followed. After everyone left, Meng Jingchen hesitated and spoke,
"Your Highness seems to be very interested in Miss Jiang."
Baili Hao put away the polite smile on his face and turned to look at Meng Jingchen.
"I'm not the one who's interested in Miss Jiang, what do you think, Changfeng?"
After hearing what Baili Hao said, Meng Jingchen didn't know how to respond.
"Changfeng, don't you think her eyes look a lot like someone else's?"
