Xie Xuan was the first to speak angrily: "Zheng Yi! I think you ate some shit this morning, because your mouth is spewing filth that stinks!"

When Zheng Yi heard Xie Xuan curse him so vulgarly, he no longer cared whether Xie Xuan's father was a high-ranking official or not, and stepped forward to attack, but was stopped by Pei Yuan.

"This is a literary gathering, not a place for violence!"

Zheng Yi shoved Pei Yuan aside, "Get out of my way, or I'll beat you up too!"

After saying that, he was about to continue his actions.

Xie Xuan also looked eager to fight, as if he wanted to fight Zheng Yi to the death.

Just as the two were about to start fighting, Bai Mengying hurriedly spoke up.

However, he was speaking to Su Muxi.

"Miss Su, are you only satisfied if you ruin this once-a-year literary gathering?"

Su Muxi was speechless; she had no desire to attend this lousy literary gathering at all.

After arriving, all they wanted was to drag things out until the end and then leave immediately.

But how did Bai Mengying come to claim that she was the one who wanted to sabotage the literary gathering?!

"ah!"

Xie Xuan was momentarily distracted upon hearing Bai Mengying's words and was ambushed by Zheng Yi, who punched him directly in the nose, causing him to scream in pain.

Bright red blood instantly flowed from their noses, frightening the group of young ladies.

This time, Pei Yuan didn't stop Zheng Yi, but instead stopped Xie Xuan, whispering a reminder: "This is a literary gathering!"

Xie Xuan covered his nose, looked at Zheng Yi who was smug, then at Bai Mengying who was frowning, and finally put his gaze on Su Muxi.

Just as he was about to lower his clenched fist, Su Muxi spoke up, "Young Master Xie, he hit you. If you don't retaliate, are you just going to take the beating for nothing?"

After saying that, he looked coldly at Bai Mengying and continued, "Knowing that this is a literary gathering, he still attacked people. It is clearly this young master Zheng who wanted to disrupt the gathering! Princess Chang Le must have mistaken someone else for someone else!"

Bai Mengying straightened her back, slightly raised her chin, and looked at Su Muxi with the air of a superior. "Miss Su, you are only here to see patients, but first you got into a dispute with the guard at the door, then you instigated Young Master Xie to quarrel with others, and now you have caused Young Master Xie to fight with someone!"

In previous literary gatherings, everyone was on good terms, but this time, Miss Su has made a complete mess of things!

At this point, Bai Mengying sighed softly and looked at Su Muxi with a look of pity on her face.

“Miss Su, I know that Zi Mo’s intention to marry me has displeased you, but this Bibo Pavilion literary gathering is not something I organized alone. Miss Su, you should know when to stop!”

“I know Miss Su has been kind to Zi Mo, so it’s understandable that Miss Su is angry with me. If Miss Su really doesn’t want to see me and Zi Mo together, I am willing to report everything to the Emperor and have this marriage called off!”

After she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, and when she looked at Qiao Ziming beside her, her eyes were full of reluctance.

Looking at Bai Mengying's pretentious behavior, Qiao Ziming wished he could expose her immediately and agree to annul the engagement on the spot.

But remembering his father's instructions, he could only remain silent.

But deep down, he was hoping Su Muxi would say she hoped he and Bai Mengying would break off their engagement...
