Just as everyone in the Song family was applauding their second sister's words, a young man in black stepped out from the crowd.
The young man stood upright like a pine tree, his steps steady and powerful. His black clothes accentuated his fortitude and majesty, yet his expression was calm and gentle, inexplicably inspiring trust in others.
Jiang Segu looked at Gu Songhan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you helping Jiang Segu forge evidence?" Miss Song asked angrily.
"Who I am is not important. What is important is that under the emperor's nose, no one is allowed to distort the truth or cause trouble!"
"I advise you not to get involved! If you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, you should at least consider whether you're qualified! Besides..."
Miss Song glanced at Gu Songhan and said scornfully, "You probably just have a wild idea that Jiang Segu is beautiful and that she'll repay you with her body if you stand up for her like this! Let me tell you, don't even dream about it!"
"She already has someone she loves..."
"I am only here to uphold justice!" Gu Songhan coldly interrupted Miss Song. "Just now, when this young lady entered the shop, the young master of the Song family pushed the servant next to him towards her. Fortunately, the young lady's maid pulled her away."
Undeterred, you took advantage of your numbers and continued to speak rudely, first insulting the girl and then slandering her mother.
This young lady had no choice but to ask us for help, so that we could inform the elders of your family about your disgraceful behavior and prevent you from making the same mistake again!
I thought you would all realize your mistakes, but to my surprise, you show no remorse and continue to speak rudely! It seems the Song family rules are lax, which allows you to be so arrogant and domineering outside!
These words made everyone in the Song family blush with embarrassment.
I wasn't ashamed, I was angry!
Where did this hothead come from, daring to go head-to-head with them!
Miss Song quickly calmed her anger and asked softly, "Young master, you are a handsome man, why are you spouting nonsense and ruining our reputation! You were not in the shop just now, could it be that you know Miss Jiang and that's why you're biased towards her?"
"How do you know that I, Miss, wasn't standing outside the door and witnessed what happened? Besides, I'm new to the capital and don't know this young lady at all. I only stood up for what's right! I wonder what you mean by that?"
Everyone: Of course they want to say that you have an affair with Miss Jiang and that you are biased towards Miss Jiang!
Miss Song felt a chill run down her spine.
Surname Gu...
Could the person before me be General Gu, whom my father mentioned a few days ago?
My father said that His Majesty's summons of him back to the capital indicates that he intends to give him an important position.
After some deliberation, Miss Song Er made up her mind.
She gave Gu Songhan a graceful curtsy and said, "It was my daughter who misunderstood you, young master. Please forgive her."
After straightening up, her eyes were already a little moist. She walked up to Jiang Segu and bowed deeply. "Sixth Sister Jiang, what happened today was really due to the indiscretions of my younger brothers and sisters. Please forgive their ignorance, Sixth Sister Jiang, for the sake of our cousins!"
Jiang Segu turned aside to avoid her deep bow, "If Miss Song hadn't been so aggressive and indulgent just now..."
Song Er Guniang quickly interrupted Jiang Segu, "It's my fault as the older sister for failing to restrain my younger siblings, which led them to speak recklessly and hurt my younger sister. It's all my fault, please forgive me, younger sister!"
At this point, her eyes welled up with tears, and she said in a mournful tone, "What happened today was all our fault. Please, my dear sister, be magnanimous and let's turn hostility into friendship. Don't let this damage the relationship between our two families! Tomorrow, I will definitely bring my younger brother and sister to apologize in person!"
After saying that, he bowed again!
Everyone: Ah, Miss Song is so pitiful, so willing to compromise, and so righteous!
Jiang Segu clicked his tongue twice.
This is where Song Yuhui's cleverness lies. With just a few words, she blurred her own guilt, and by feigning pitifulness, no one remembered that she had just been distorting the truth!
"What are you doing, sister! You're making me feel so bad!"
Jiang Segu stepped forward to help Song Yuhui up. "I acted impulsively just now, which is why I disturbed the neighbors! Sister is well-educated and reasonable, and she will surely understand my desire to protect my mother!"
My sisters can bully me, scold me, even beat me like before, but please, never speak ill of my mother again! From childhood until now, every time I hear my sisters talk about my mother like that, my heart aches like it's being stabbed with needles!
Her voice was soft and delicate, her eyes were filled with tears, and her face was full of sorrow, making her truly pitiful.
Everyone: So the Song family has been bullying Miss Jiang since she was a child. Miss Jiang is so pitiful!
These words nearly made Song Yuhui faint on the spot.
Jiang Segu did not give her that chance.
She trembled slightly, took a few steps back, and looked at Song Yuhui in disbelief. "What is that you're holding, sister? Why are you stabbing your sister?"
After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell towards Qiaolian behind her.
Juanniang, who had been hiding in the shadows, hurriedly came out and, together with Qiaolian, helped Jiang Segu.
Qiaolian cried out in a panic, "Miss, what's wrong? Miss, don't... scare me!"
Then, with tears streaming down her face, she accused Song Yuhui, "Second Miss Song, why did you harm my young lady!"
Song Yuhui protested, "I didn't..."
"No?" Qiaolian said hoarsely, her eyes red. "You've been bullying our girl since she was little because you're not as eloquent as us. You always provoke our girl with words and make her fight first."
Several people attacked our girl alone, specifically targeting areas where injuries weren't visible.
After attracting the elders, you who started the trouble pretended to be pitiful, conspired to lie and deceive the elders. Poor girls have no way to express their suffering and are always punished for it!
