23 Good! I kneel!
Since Prince Jiang said so, naturally his supporters would speak up and agree with him.
"Then it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look."
"Yeah, let's go and have a look!"
Xu Huaili pursed his lips, then strode forward towards that direction.
"Cousin, second brother is here, everything will be fine now." Xu Jinlan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Yunran.
"Wow, Prince Jiang is still as charming and suave as ever!" Seeing a group of young men coming over, a young lady was whispering.
"Yes, so is General Xu. But I still prefer gentlemen with noble manners like Prince Jiang. General Xu is serious and sometimes a little too scary."
"I think so, too."
"But doesn't General Xu usually dislike these banquets? Why did he suddenly come this time?"
"I heard that Madam Xu is looking for a wife for him, and the target is Miss Zhang."
After hearing these discussions, Li Yunran bit her lip. She knew that what they said was true.
Although Mrs. Xu treated her well, she had no intention of her marrying her cousin.
Moreover, he has warned himself openly and secretly, hoping that she will treat him well and will not treat him badly in the future.
But no matter how good it is, can it be as good as the Xu family?
She couldn't rely on the kindness of her cousin's mother to fulfill her wish, so she begged her cousin to bring her to the banquet, but she didn't expect to encounter this.
There was a sudden bitter feeling in my heart.
Why? Why can they discuss the young masters in the city freely and happily, while it is so difficult for me to just have a stable life?
When Zhang Hanyue saw Xu Huaili coming, she quietly tidied her hair to make herself look dignified and elegant.
"General Xu, you're here just in time!" Yang Mingzhu was arrogant. This time they were in the wrong, and she just wanted to see how he would save his good cousin!
Jiang Xiao curled his lips and smiled, "Hey, who has offended our little hot pepper in Beijing again?"
Yang Mingzhu had known him since childhood, so naturally she didn't have a good face for him. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Get out of here and stop meddling in other people's business!"
Jiang Xiao didn't care about her cold face, and still said with a smile, "You asked me to leave, of course I have to leave, but where do you think it would be more appropriate for me to go?"
"Hahaha...Prince Jiang really lives up to his reputation as a flower-protecting duke. He can even be gentle and sympathetic to a woman as hot-tempered as Miss Yang!"
"I should treat everyone equally. Besides, beauties have many faces, and it's rare to see someone as generous as Miss Yang!" Jiang Xiao said leisurely.
Yang Mingzhu was so angry, "Jiang Xiao! If you keep talking nonsense, watch your tongue!"
"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore. This prince is here to act as a gentleman who can talk to you. Tell me, what is the cause of this fuss? How did you make this girl cry?" Jiang Xiao tapped the fan and pointed at Li Yunran in surprise.
Yang Mingzhu had no time to deal with Jiang Xiao. After hearing this, she sneered and said, "General Xu, your cousin ruined my clothes. She can't afford to pay for it. I asked her to kowtow and admit her mistake, and then the matter will be over."
"But who would have thought that your cousin is so arrogant! She actually thinks that I am humiliating her! If I really want to humiliate her, I can report her to the police and have her put in jail just because she tore my clothes!" Yang Mingzhu was afraid that they would not believe her, so she lifted up her sleeve on purpose.
After explaining the origin of this batch of cloth, everyone finally understood the cause of the incident.
Zhang Hanyue suddenly stopped being invisible and said, "Miss Yang, why don't you ask the embroiderer in Beijing if she can fix it?"
"Repair?! Look at this piece of cloth, it's a whole piece and the pattern is just right. There can't be even a little extra thread in it!" Yang Mingzhu refused outright. She was here to avenge her brother, so how could she let this woman go!
Xu Huaili frowned, "According to what you said, even if the entire Xu Mansion were to compensate you for this dress, it would not be enough. You wore the gift from the Emperor and damaged it. Even if it's her fault, don't you have any fault at all?"
Yang Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat. She was afraid that Xu Huaili would put the blame on her again, so she said hurriedly, "That's why you say I have a good temper. This is an accident. Then she should apologize and kneel down. It won't be a big deal. After all, this is a gift from the emperor!"
"That's right. She just needs to kneel down and kowtow to admit her fault. She doesn't need to spend all her wealth to pay compensation. Why won't she agree to do it?"
"Yes, Miss Li, you'd better hurry up. It's your fault for disrupting other people's party."
"Yeah, that's how long it's been delayed." "That's right, it's getting late."
As he heard all kinds of sounds, Li Yunran's eyes turned red and he clenched his fists.
Xu Huaili showed impatience. His little girl's affairs were indeed very annoying. "Tell me how much silver you want. I have a few more horses as a reward from His Majesty..."
"Okay! I'll kneel!" Before Xu Huaili could finish his words, Li Yunran suddenly spoke with a sob.
Everyone stared at her in astonishment, only to see the beauty raise her red eyes and crystal tears like pearls streak across her fair cheeks and fall to the ground, her pale mouth corners tightly pursed.
Reveals a bit of stubborn beauty.
This appearance really aroused the sympathy of several young masters.
"Miss Yang, you are right, but your reputation is always more important than anything else. Isn't it a bit too much to ask someone to kneel down?" A young man couldn't bear to see the beauty suffer, so he couldn't help but speak.
Seeing someone standing up for Li Yunran, Yang Mingzhu sneered, "If you can't bear it, you can kneel for her."
“Puff…”
Yang Mingzhu's words made people laugh, especially the young man who had just spoken. His face turned green and he shouted angrily, "You are so disrespectful! A man's knees are made of gold, how can I kneel to a woman like you!"
"Gold? I don't think you can find ten taels of gold on your body, and you still dare to follow others and keep a mistress. You'd better not come out to save the beauty." Yang Mingzhu raised her chin with a look of disdain.
"You, you are talking nonsense!" The young man was furious.
People around him looked at him strangely, as if they wanted to strip him naked. He was a concubine's son, his father did not hold a high position in the government, and he did not have much talent, so he often frequented brothels and later even kept a mistress. How many people should know about this? !
"Hehe, you know whether I am talking nonsense or not. Don't embarrass yourself here and get out of here!" Yang Mingzhu didn't want to waste words with such a person. She was afraid of dirtying her mouth.
The young man also realized that he couldn't say anything, otherwise she would really expose his past, so he was disappointed and didn't dare to speak.
"Yang Mingzhu's words are still as interesting as ever!" Liu Yuhua's eyes were shining with excitement. Watching the fun was the most interesting thing.
Xiao Tingyun did not comment, but raised his eyebrows, "Does that Lord Jiang look like he wants to help that girl out?"
Xiao Tingqi snorted and said with certainty, "It's impossible. Master Jiang never likes crying girls. He is just watching the fun."
Same as Liu Yuhua!
Xiao Tingqi thought so.
"I just heard someone say... Prince Jiang is the most compassionate to girls, and my second sister also said that he doesn't like girls who cry..."
Xiao Tingyun thought, "How did my second sister know about this?"
Xiao Tingqi's body stiffened, and his previous confidence and fearlessness disappeared in an instant.
