Chapter 360 Just a cup of aged white tea

Jiang Yuwei thought about it carefully for a while, then shook his head: "No."

Even if Jin'er wasn't an official of the imperial court, she was still his niece and his second brother's daughter.

No matter how much he competes with his second brother for prestige and reputation, he would never do something like abandoning his family.

Chen Ruolan was so angry she almost lost her temper.

Is this guy an idiot?

She explained it so clearly, yet he still remains stubbornly ignorant!

Just as he was about to continue persuading her, a clear female voice rang out: "Whom do you want my uncle to give up?"

Chen Ruolan froze for a moment, then slowly turned around and saw Yu Zhiyi standing behind her at some point.

Not only Yu Zhiyi, but also Tang Mingxuan, the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an, and the dozen or so guards were staring at her with unfriendly expressions.

Clearly, they had all heard what she said.

Chen Ruolan smiled gently, just like before.

Under the gaze of so many fierce eyes, she couldn't laugh and could only say awkwardly, "Jin'er misunderstands. I don't want you to give up on anyone, I just want you to think things through carefully and make thorough preparations before going in."

Unbeknownst to her, while she was focused on persuading Jiang Yuwei, Yu Zhiyi and her group had already come out from inside for a while.

She raised her hand to stop her father and the others from calling for help, and then everyone heard her conversation with Jiang Yuwei.

At that moment, Jiang Yuchuan's face darkened, and Xiao Qingxuan made no attempt to hide her anger.

Chen Ruolan felt a little flustered, but she had no other choice but to look to Jiang Yuwei for help, hoping that he could cover for her.

Even if this cover-up seems like a joke.

But she didn't directly say she wanted to give up on Yu Zhiyi, and those speculations were all made by Jiang Yuwei himself.

So even if others want to blame her, they can't blame her, right?

However……

"Chen Ruolan!" Xiao Qingxuan practically spat out the name through gritted teeth.

Before Chen Ruolan could react, she felt a fragrant breeze waft over, and then her face was slapped repeatedly, left and right, more than a dozen times.

Xiao Qingxuan used all her strength in every slap.

She was a renowned heroine in the martial arts world more than a decade ago. Even though she had been mentally impaired for more than ten years and her martial arts skills had not improved much, her former inner strength was still there.

An ordinary person would have their face swollen from being hit like that, let alone being hit by a martial arts master like her.

Chen Ruolan's face quickly swelled up like a pig's head, her nose and mouth squeezed so tightly by her swollen cheeks that only a slit remained.

Xiao Qingxuan was incredibly fast, and with one hand holding her by the collar, Chen Ruolan had no way to escape and could only endure the dozen or so slaps.

At that moment, her face was both painful and numb, and tears streamed down her face from the pain.

She looked at Jiang Yuwei pleadingly: "Big..."

Before she could cry for help, Xiao Qingxuan stopped and shoved her, causing her to stumble.

Exhaling a sharp breath, Xiao Qingxuan said coldly, "If there's a next time, I won't just hit you a dozen times."

That simple?

Xiao Qingxuan could clearly see her high cheeks out of the corner of her eye.

This bastard calls this simple?!

Her tears flowed more and more, and she was never the kind of person who liked to make a scene; when she cried, tears would always flow before she could even speak.

Looking into her watery eyes, even the most hard-hearted man would melt into tenderness.

She is very good at using her beauty.

Unfortunately, she forgot one thing.

At that time, she was not beautiful at all.

Looking at her with those hazy eyes, which were like a pig's head, Jiang Yuwei felt no pity for her at all. Instead, he wanted to punch her and send her to meet her great-grandmother.

Seeing the disgust in Jiang Yuwei's eyes, Chen Ruolan paused in her charming movements, realizing that her current execution must be extremely unsightly.

A lump formed in her throat.

Xiao Qingxuan saw all of this and sneered, "Stop radiating your charm. No one will pity a vicious pig like you."

Chen Ruolan: "..."

Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted instantly.

After watching the whole thing, Yu Zhiyi couldn't help but give her mother a thumbs up.

Wow, that's impressive.

Xiao Qingxuan sneered disdainfully.

It's just an old white tea.

She wants to be both a pure and innocent girl and a manipulative and manipulative woman.

She had suffered a lot at the hands of this woman in the past, but only in front of her brother-in-law and father-in-law. Her husband, on the other hand, was always consistent and was never bewitched by this woman.

Having suffered so many losses, she already knew the other party's weaknesses.

Isn't it just using weakness and beauty to soften a man's heart?

Without these things, the man's mind will return to normal, right?

Now that I see it, it's indeed true.

However, to prevent the old woman from begging her brother-in-law again after waking up, and from doing something irrational because of her soft heart, she looked at Jiang Yuwei with a deep gaze: "Brother, this woman intends to incite you to kill the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an. This is putting our entire martial arts alliance under the guillotine. Brother, you shouldn't let her off easily, right?"

Jiang Yuwei's positive impression of Chen Ruolan had shattered considerably with the appearance of that pig-faced woman. Moreover, since the entire martial arts alliance was at stake, he dared not act recklessly and could only say, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will absolutely not tolerate this."

He then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Marquis of Wu'an's heir and the others, saying, "Your Highness, gentlemen, rest assured, I will give you all an explanation."

The Marquis of Wu'an's heir said coldly, "Is Alliance Leader Jiang only giving us an explanation?"

Jiang Yuwei quickly looked at Yu Zhiyi again.

To be honest, he still hasn't fully processed the fact that his niece became a high-ranking official, so he often struggles to adjust his mindset.

He always subconsciously treated Yu Zhiyi and things related to her as an elder.

Only when he saw the Marquis of Wu'an's heir and those guards who clearly belonged to high-ranking officials respectfully surrounding her, showing an attitude of following her lead, did he finally accept reality.

His little niece is indeed no ordinary person.

He quickly straightened his posture and said seriously, "Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will definitely punish her severely."

Yu Zhiyi said indifferently, "I believe in Uncle. I hope Uncle won't let me down."

Chen Ruolan's father's so-called kindness completely ensnared the Jiang brothers, preventing them from doing anything too extreme no matter how dissatisfied they were with her, otherwise they would easily become the subject of gossip and be criticized as ungrateful traitors by the martial arts alliance.

This is why Chen Ruolan was still able to continue to operate within the Martial Arts Alliance after Xiao Qingxuan was framed.

Firstly, there was no concrete evidence to prove that she deliberately wanted to scheme against Xiao Qingxuan, and secondly, it was also because of the life-saving grace.

However, now that the imperial prince has been involved, Jiang Yuwei dares not treat this lightly anymore.
