Chapter 180 This place is in chaos
Meng Yao's face was full of anger. She usually thought Su Xiaoxiao was pretentious and naive. Whose lady went to the Imperial College every day to deliver meals to those poor scholars? She thought Su Xiaoxiao was deliberately trying to show her affection in front of Xiao Mingli.
Otherwise, why hasn't Su Xiaoxiao ever sent Xiao Mingli off since he left the Imperial College? I was really careless!
"W-what?"
Seeing Meng Yao's ill-intentioned look, Su Xiaoxiao was so scared that she took a few steps back.
"You know it yourself!"
Jiang Tunan then silently moved to Leng Qingyan's side.
"Miss Leng~"
Leng Qingyan was startled by Jiang Tunan's sudden voice.
"Miss Jiang, what's the matter?"
Jiang Tunan smiled slightly.
"I want to know how painful it is to fall down those stairs, Miss Leng, do you know?"
Leng Qingyan pretended to be calm and said,
"How would I know what Miss Jiang meant by saying this? Do you still want to slander me?"
"Is it slander? Don't you have any idea?"
Jiang Tunan's expression changed quickly, and he pushed Leng Qingyan out with a hip thrust. Then Jiang Tunan quickly rushed towards Meng Yao who was walking towards Su Xiaoxiao, and the two fell together in an instant.
"Ah~ Miss Leng, why are you pushing people~"
"what!"
Leng Qingyan was caught off guard and her body had no time to prepare, so she fell straight to the ground next to Jiang Tunan and Meng Yao.
"you!"
Meng Yao pointed at Jiang Tunan angrily, and Jiang Tunan shook his head repeatedly.
"It's not me, it's her!"
Leng Qingyan was about to get up, but Meng Yao grabbed her hair.
"Leng Qingyan!"
Leng Qingyan only felt a sharp pain in her scalp. The looks from the people around her made her feel completely humiliated.
"Miss Meng, don't act recklessly just because you have the Duke of Rong's Mansion behind you. My grandfather is the teacher of the current emperor!"
"My aunt is still a royal concubine!"
Seeing Meng Yao being so unreasonable, Leng Qingyan grabbed Meng Yao's hair. The maids they brought with them all came forward to help. Yan Wanqing, as Meng Yao's number one follower, naturally did not want to be outdone and directly stepped forward to join the battle.
"Let go of Sister Yao!"
Jiang Tunan struggled to climb out of the crowd and looked at Su Xiaoxiao standing on the first step and watching. Jiang Tunan quietly reached out and grabbed the hem of Su Xiaoxiao's skirt.
"Come down you."
Su Xiaoxiao's attention was all on the people fighting in front of her, and she didn't notice that Jiang Tunan had already crawled to her feet. So as she was watching the fight, she suddenly felt a force under her feet and fell into the fighting crowd.
"Hey! Get out of the way, Su Xiaoxiao is coming down!"
The crowd followed the advice and moved away, and Su Xiaoxiao fell to the hard floor. After Su Xiaoxiao landed, the crowd quickly started fighting again.
"Leng Qingyan! I've been annoyed with you for a long time. You're pretending all day long, but you're just pretending!"
"Ah! Don't hit me, I didn't do anything!"
"Meng Yao, you bully people in the girls' school every day. Do you think I like you?"
"Woo woo, you guys better aim and hit me."
"Shut up, Su Xiaoxiao. Who are you pretending to be so pitiful for? Do you think Mr. Xiao will be interested in you?"
"That's right, you seem to be bullied by someone all day long."
Jiang Tunan dodged the attacks in the crowd with difficulty, and also gave Su Xiaoxiao a few more attacks. Then Jiang Tunan pinched his nose and shouted,
"Second Young Master Xiao just cares more about Xiao Xiao!"
"No matter how outstanding your performance is, everyone's eyes are on me~"
Su Xiaoxiao looked horrified.
"No..that's not what I said!"
Seeing that Leng Qingyan and Meng Yao's anger had accumulated to a certain extent, Jiang Tunan quickly rolled away.
Ye Ruxuan, who was next to Leng Qingyan, saw Jiang Tunan's actions and wanted to report him, but Ye Ruzhen, who was walking over, grabbed her arm.
"Ye Ruxuan, you'd better shut up, otherwise the entire Ye Mansion will be ruined because of you!"
Baili Hong was confused as to why these young ladies from aristocratic families suddenly started fighting. However, when he saw Su Xiaoxiao among them, he wanted to help, but was stopped by Xiao Mingrui.
"Your Highness, this is a place full of girls. It might not be convenient for a man like you to go there."
Baili Hong knew that what Xiao Mingrui said was indeed reasonable, but he had already heard Su Xiaoxiao's screams, so how could he sit still? Suddenly he saw Su Lanlan next to him, so he said,
"Su Lanlan, go and rescue your little cousin!"
Su Lanlan looked up at Baili Hong, feeling a little sad.
"Go!"
Su Lanlan had no choice but to step forward and with some effort push away the person in front of Su Xiaoxiao. The other people's maids squeezed together with her, pressing on Su Lanlan's bruised parts so hard that they felt painful.
"If I were you, I would take advantage of the chaos to kick you a few more times. After all, if you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever~"
Even without looking, Su Lanlan knew it was Jiang Tunan's voice. Yes, she had always been taught by the people around her how to be a good sister, but what they called a good sister was one who would indulge her children with all her heart.
Grandfather had always told her that women should be well-educated and well-mannered. He himself would get up at 1:00 a.m. every day, and if he was a moment late, he would be punished, but Su Xiaoxiao could sleep as long as she wanted. In the end, grandfather just said, "She is still young, she is your sister, you should be more considerate of her."
Obviously, she is the eldest prince's legitimate cousin, but he only has Su Xiaoxiao as his sister in his eyes. He cannot call her cousin in public because he thinks that it will make people think that the prince is too deeply involved with his maternal family. But he is the one who calls Xiaoxiao cousin!
Who am I? I am obviously the eldest daughter of a legitimate family. I am proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. What right does Su Xiaoxiao, who knows nothing, have?
"Alas, I hate those parents who treat everyone unfairly~"
Su Lanlan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then her eyes deepened and she said slowly,
"Xiao Xiao, let me help you..."
Su Xiaoxiao was a little happy when she heard Su Lanlan's voice, thinking that she could finally get out, but then she found that she seemed to be beaten more.
"Sister, save me."
Jiang Tunan huddled quietly to one side, occasionally hitting the pillar next to him with his elbow.
Qi Guanming and Xiao Mingxu held back Baili Hong, while Xiao Mingrui was also looking for Jiang Tunan in the crowd. Ye Ruzhen beside him was extremely anxious.
"I want to go in and help Xiaonan!"
Ye Ruzhen looked like she was about to charge into battle, but was stopped by Ji Lingyue.
"You are already covered in wounds. Going in will only add new injuries. Believe in Miss Jiang. She will find a way."
Although Ji Lingyue did not see all of Jiang Tunan's little movements, she knew that Jiang Tunan was deliberately making the situation chaotic.
Xiao Mingrui finally found Jiang Tunan huddled quietly in a corner. While Baili Hong's attention was distracted by Xiao Mingxu and the others, he walked around the fighting crowd. But as soon as he approached, he saw Jiang Tunan holding a bench and trying to hit his legs.
"what are you doing!"
Xiao Mingrui put his hands on Jiang Tunan's legs, his eyes full of confusion.
"Do the whole act."
Jiang Tunan pushed Xiao Mingrui's hand away, made up his mind, and smashed it down directly.
Before Xiao Mingrui could stop her, Jiang Tunan's face wrinkled up into a ball. Although he was in pain, he kept saying,
"It doesn't hurt at all, cousin Mingrui, let me tell you, arms and thighs, especially knees, are very easy to bruise. Just the slightest touch will immediately turn blue. You're just looking at it in a scary way."
Jiang Tunan reached out and pushed Xiao Mingrui.
"Okay, go to the side and don't disturb me from acting later."
Xiao Mingrui felt both distressed and amused, so he had to leave first.
Baili Hong may have become increasingly impatient when he saw that Su Xiaoxiao had not come out yet.
"That's enough! Stop it right there! Otherwise I'll have you all arrested!"
Everyone at the scene stopped what they were doing, and Su Xiaoxiao had fainted. Baili Hong stepped forward and picked up Su Xiaoxiao, glaring at the others.
"You dare to hurt my cousin, I will punish you!"
Even Meng Yao lowered his head guiltily at this moment. Just when everyone thought that he could not escape punishment, he heard a clear male voice coming from outside the crowd.
"Why are you so angry, brother?"
Jiang Tunan had already crawled back into the crowd, but he saw a pair of men's boots in front of him, with delicate patterns embroidered on them.
Jiang Tunan was just about to say that boys should not interfere when girls fight, but he heard a lazy voice above his head.
"What's going on here?"
Jiang Tunan looked up and saw that the person coming was Meng Jingchen.
"Hello, Master Meng. It's a mess here. Drink it while it's hot."
