Liu Hanyan is the daughter of the Grand Tutor after all, and she usually walks with Yun Rusi, even though her status as a Cabinet Grand Secretary is higher than her father's official position.
The latter would obediently call her "Sister Liu".
She had met Li Shengyi at a palace banquet some time ago.
She also agreed with what Yun Rusi said and felt that Li Shengyi was a wild girl.
Looking across the entire capital, there is no other rich girl who is as rude and unforgiving as she is.
Now, not only did she hear that Li Shengyi was unwilling to give her face, but he also mocked her like that.
The gentle smile on her face froze, and Liu Hanyan almost couldn't maintain her expression. It took a long time before she spoke again.
"Now that the doctor is here, and you've spilled the tea, what else do you want?"
There was a hint of pressure in her last sentence "What else do you want?" After all, she was the daughter of the Grand Tutor. Even though she was very well-educated, she was not inferior to others in terms of momentum.
What's more, she will be the Crown Princess soon, and then even Qin Songmo will have to bow to her when he sees her.
Not to mention that Li Shengyi was just the adopted daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Shengyi is just pretending to be stupid, he is not really stupid.
One could not fail to hear the threat in her last words.
He raised his head and met Liu Hanyan's eyes.
Li Shengyi, who was so righteous and unwilling to show mercy just a moment ago, suddenly had tears in his eyes.
"Yes, it's all my fault. I showed up and disturbed the sisters from enjoying the flowers and the scenery."
"Shengyi is just a wild girl who has never seen the world. She is not worthy of your sisters' eyes. It is normal for you sisters to dislike Shengyi."
"It wouldn't be surprising if Shengyi was bullied, because in the eyes of her sisters, Shengyi was uneducated, without a father or mother's love. But her sisters were different. They were all born with a silver spoon in their mouths."
"This is all Shengyi's fault. From now on, Shengyi will never appear in front of you sisters again. I have dirty your eyes, wuwuwu..."
Soft sobs were heard in the back garden of the Lin Mansion.
Meng Jiuan and Li Shengyi have known each other for quite some time, but this was the first time he saw her cry so sadly.
Thinking of my own childhood, and then seeing Li Shengyi being called a wild girl and bullied by so many people...
The man took a deep breath and clenched his fists as big as sandbags.
Even though he repeatedly reminded himself in his heart that these were just young girls who would cry if they were yelled at.
But he still couldn't help but stand up for Little Radish Head.
"According to Miss Liu and Second Miss Yun, do you think the way the Prime Minister's Mansion raises children is not good, or do you think you are superior and that my kindness is not worthy of your attention?"
"I still remember that time at the palace banquet when Second Miss Yun competed with Sheng Yi for a golden hairpin and called Sheng Yi a wild girl, right?"
"Why? Is this how children are raised in the Grand Secretary's mansion?"
"And Miss Liu, you're going to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince soon, but you're taking sides today. Miss Liu really doesn't take me seriously. Isn't she afraid that I'll go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and file a complaint against Miss Liu?"
Since Meng Jiuan came to the back garden, he hasn't spoken much.
Yun Rusi concluded that he didn't like Li Shengyi very much either.
After hearing what he said, Yun Rusi's ugly face looked even uglier.
The silk handkerchief, which had already turned into dried vegetables, made a 'swish' sound and was accidentally torn into two pieces by her.
Liu Hanyan's expression didn't look much better either.
When she heard Meng Jiuan say that he was going to complain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, her face immediately fell.
"General Meng, you are too kind. We have never rejected any kindness."
"Besides, this matter has nothing to do with General Meng, not to mention Han Yan never takes sides..."
"Ms. Liu, don't forget who started this matter first." Meng Jiuan hit the nail on the head.
Liu Hanyan's face froze, and she quickly defended herself, "Didn't I just say that? It was Xu'er who accidentally hurt Shengyi."
"What a 'careless' word! Martial artists are prone to accidentally hurting others. What do you think, Miss Liu?"
Threatening words rang in her ears, and Liu Hanyan dared not say anything more.
He just picked up the tea at hand, and his wrist trembled slightly as he brought the tea to his mouth.
Without Liu Hanyan, Yun Rusi is no match for Meng Jiuan.
Li Shengyi was still covering his face and sobbing softly. Meng Jiuan had never comforted the little kid who was crying non-stop.
He walked forward and just as he placed his broad palm on her shoulder, wanting to pat her to comfort her.
Then he heard a light laugh in his mind.
[Hehe, these rich girls, I'm going to scare them to death!]
[If you dare to talk nonsense in front of me, I won't talk nonsense even more than them.]
"But what's wrong with Meng Jiuan? Hasn't this guy always been against me? Last time, I almost made him lose his temper. Why is he speaking up for me today?"
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, Uncle Doctor, can you be a little gentler?"
The blisters on the back of the hand had been squeezed clean, leaving only a layer of swollen and wrinkled skin covering the wound.
Li Shengyi was just pretending to cry, but now the doctor hurt the back of his hand, and two drops of cat urine actually fell from his eyes.
Meng Jiuan watched her tears fall from her eyes, and a soft hum sounded from his throat, "You also know the pain? Why didn't I kill you with the pain?"
"I think you should not attend these kinds of gatherings in the future, lest someone tries to harm you. Don't let your life get lost, and your father will be heartbroken."
"Some of these rich girls appear gentle and polite on the surface, but in reality, they're more cunning than anyone else. How can a five-year-old like you fight them?"
He mercilessly exposed Liu Hanyan's warm-hearted personality.
There were also some rich girls present who disliked Yun Rusi and Liu Hanyan, but endured it because of their fathers' official positions.
After hearing what Meng Jiuan said, he nodded slightly.
Lin Miaomiao, who was standing next to her, blamed herself even more. "If I had known this would happen, I would have invited you here alone."
Li Shengyi turned her head after hearing that. Although her eyes were still brimming with tears, she still grinned at him and said, "I'm fine."
"Don't worry, I'm young and have strong recovery abilities. I'll be fine soon."
Lin Miaomiao disagreed, "So what if she's young? What if she gets scars later?"
Li Shengyi shook his head. "It's just a scar, not a piece of flesh."
"Look at Meng Jiu... General Meng has been through many battles, so he must have many scars on his body. But these are not scars, but medals of honor for defending our country."
"Well, even though I'm not defending my country, I'm firing the first shot to protect that!"
Li Shengyi wanted to say it was 'the first shot to protect my father'.
Soon she thought about how Liu Hanyan and the others might laugh at her behind her back after she said this.
After all, her father is the Prime Minister of the Great Chu, not some wild dog or chicken who needs her protection.
Compared to Li Shengyi's fearless appearance.
After hearing what she said, Meng Jiuan felt inexplicably warm in his heart.
He placed his broad palm on her shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Shengyi, don't worry about this."
"Her father and I will bring her the best things in the world."
