Chapter 272 Falling Out
"How come you have learned to lie?" Princess Jiahe stood up in dissatisfaction when she heard this and looked at Xu Miaomiao coldly.
Xu Miaomiao handed Erbao to Dabao behind her. Dabao hugged her and gently comforted his crying sister.
"Princess Jiahe may have some misunderstanding. Besides, Erbao also said that she didn't take it. We can't just not believe a child's words."
"It's because they are just little kids, they don't have any sense of right and wrong. If they are taught badly by someone with ulterior motives, that would be the most terrible thing. Madam Xu, I'm doing this for your own good. The child is still young, if these behaviors are stopped, it might be understandable, but if he develops a habit of lying from a young age, who knows who he will take after when he grows up."
"Jiahe, don't talk nonsense." Song Zhijin on the side pulled Princess Jiahe's sleeve and said.
The commotion attracted many people to watch. Erbao saw that the people outside became more timid, so he quickly grabbed Dabao's sleeve and lowered his head.
"Madam Xu, after all, I am a guest here today. No matter what grudges we had before, now that your daughter has stolen my things, I don't ask for anything else, just for her to apologize to me. Is it so difficult?"
"If we took it, we would naturally apologize, but now the facts are not confirmed. Isn't it unreasonable for the princess to say so?"
When Princess Jiahe heard Xu Miaomiao say this, she took a step forward, looked at her and said, "There were only three of us in the room at the time. You can't say your daughter didn't take it, so she didn't take it. If she didn't take it, how did the collar get around her neck? Besides, you saw the red mark on her neck, which is obviously the mark of my collar. If you don't believe me, you can compare it!"
Xu Miaomiao walked to the side, picked up the collar on the table and compared it with the red mark on Erbao's neck. They were indeed exactly the same. She coaxed Erbao softly and asked, "Erbao, be good, tell mother what happened?"
"What else could have happened? You stole other people's things and don't want to admit it." Princess Jiahe spoke sarcastically from the side.
"I didn't, mother." Erbao spoke timidly, his voice so soft that only Xu Miaomiao could hear what he said if she got close to him.
"I didn't take anything from her."
"Then tell me what happened to your neck?"
Xu Miaomiao patiently kissed and coaxed Erbao, fearing to hurt the child's heart. Seeing that everyone gathered together, Erbao was a little scared and dared not speak. Xu Miaomiao then hugged him, and Erbao spoke the truth loudly: "I saw the door was open, so I walked in curiously. The big sister was changing clothes. I was about to go out, and the sister in black next to me stopped me. I had never seen a collar before, so I looked at it curiously. The big sister asked me to try it, and then she put it on me. But who knew that the next moment the sister in red rushed out angrily, took the collar away, and accused me of stealing."
Hearing what Erbao said, Xu Miaomiao's eyes darkened and she looked at Song Zhijin. Song Zhijin also felt Xu Miaomiao's gaze and quickly said, "I said this matter was a misunderstanding. Jiahe, you too, didn't listen to my explanation just now and insisted on being so impulsive. Now you've made Madam Xu unhappy."
Xu Miaomiao knew whether Song Zhijin did it on purpose or not. She also knew how the collar was put on Erbao's neck, but it was not appropriate to cause trouble today. Xu Miaomiao looked at Princess Jiahe and said, "Princess, you have heard it too. It was not her fault at this time."
"If it's not, then it's not." Princess Jiahe raised her head somewhat arrogantly.
Xu Miaomiao stared at her intently, never taking his eyes off her.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao's eyes, Princess Jiahe tilted her head curiously: "Do you want me to apologize to her?"
"Just now, the princess misunderstood that Erbao stole your things, and you forced her to apologize to you. Now it is proven that you misunderstood, so isn't it right for you to apologize to her?"
Xu Miaomiao said.
Hearing this, Princess Jiahe slammed the table in anger, stood up, pointed her pink finger at Xu Miaomiao, and looked extremely angry: "You know that we are the only princess of the Southern Kingdom, and you actually asked me to apologize to such a child. If this gets out, will our royal family still have face?"
"Yes, Madam Xu." Song Zhijin responded from the side: "Even if Jiahe was wrong in this matter, she is still a princess after all. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to ask her to apologize to such a child?"
"Then you can arbitrarily accuse my child. What kind of shadow will this incident cast on her childhood? Have you ever thought about it? Of course you wouldn't." Xu Miaomiao laughed: "You will always only care about yourselves. Today, I don't care what kind of princess you are. If you don't apologize, don't even think about leaving my Song Mansion!"
"What do you want to do?" Jia He pointed at Xu Miaomiao angrily: "Do you want to detain me here? Aren't you afraid of our Jingwang Mansion?"
Xu Miaomiao remained silent for a long time before she spoke: "The emperor loves the people, and the people will support the emperor. If they encounter a foolish and incompetent person, some people will rise up to protest. You are wrong today, and if you don't apologize, I, Xu Miaomiao, will not let you go even if I risk my life."
"You!" Princess Jiahe's face turned red with anger and she stared at Xu Miaomiao angrily.
Seeing this, Song Zhijin, who was standing by, immediately said, "Okay, okay, this is my fault. I didn't take the initiative to explain it clearly. Since you want to apologize, why don't I apologize on Jiahe's behalf?"
"Zhijin, what are you doing?" Princess Jiahe heard this and quickly pulled Song Zhijin back: "We are all people of status. If something happened in the Song Mansion today, they would probably execute the whole family and not be able to pay us back. Why should we bow to them?"
Song Zhijin smiled helplessly and looked at Princess Jiahe.
Princess Jiahe set her eyes on Xu Miaomiao again and said, "I just want to see what you can do to me if I don't apologize."
"If you don't apologize, then I can only write you a divorce letter."
Suddenly, a contemptuous voice was heard outside the door, and Nangong Jin walked slowly towards them, scanning the scene with cold eyes.
When Princess Jiahe heard this, she suddenly felt dizzy and was at a loss for a moment. She stared at Nangong Jin and said, "I am the princess. It was your father who asked our family to marry me. How dare you divorce me!"
"Why can't I divorce someone like you who can't tell right from wrong and justice? Who can predict what this vicious woman who can even bully a child will do in the future!" Nangong Jin said coldly.
