Xiao Cunyu was unreasonable, but after he finished speaking, even the dumbest person would understand.
She deliberately framed Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi was also a smart man. He sat down with a green face. "Why does Mr. Xiao Qi act like a scoundrel? Even if you wanted to defend your third brother, you shouldn't have just accused me of stealing. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. What a difference between your actions and those of a hooligan!"
"Master Yuan doesn't understand the real situation and wants my third brother to apologize. How arrogant of you to act like that?" Xiao Cunyu was very arrogant. "My third brother's talent is recognized by the court. As a Juren, he is now qualified to be an official. And out of nowhere, an old man shows up and accuses him of plagiarism, and he wants him to admit it? This time, it's okay, he just said he borrowed the words, but if he says he stole your mother next time, my third brother will also deny it."
"The bastard is so arrogant!" Yuan Yi wanted to eat someone.
"It's just talk, just like what Mr. Yuan said just now, why are you so anxious?" Xiao Cunyu didn't care at all, looking like he deserved a beating.
The prince pursed his lips and coughed dryly: "Speak nicely, don't be violent."
"Yes, Your Highness." Xiao Cunyu agreed readily. "Master Yuan, please don't be violent."
Yuan Yi's face flushed, his teeth gnashed, and his clenched fists looked full of angry power.
Wei Feng, who was standing behind King Rui, looked at him with sympathy, feeling that they were fellow wanderers in the world.
Look, this Xiao Qillang is such a bad person.
He talks excessively, acts arrogantly, and is good at pretending to be innocent!
This is happening right under the noses of several noble people! He is truly fearless!
Xiao Cunyu was still grinning at Yuan Yi.
"I just said that it would be better for Xiao Jieyuan to apologize, but Xiao Qillang actually insulted my mother. I ask Your Highness the Crown Prince to make the decision for me!" Yuan Yi said directly to the Crown Prince.
"You can't say that." Seeing the prince looking at her, Xiao Cunyu said, "My third brother is a scholar, and he values integrity and dignity the most. Young Master Yuan asked my third brother to apologize, which means that my third brother did steal the words and even helped the government to solve the case! This is like kicking my third brother's spine!"
"As the saying goes, a brother is like a father. My parents are both deceased, and I was able to grow up thanks to the care of my brothers. You insulted my father and brothers first, and I'm just fighting back now. Doesn't that make sense?"
"Sweet words and flattery!" Yuan Yi was dissatisfied.
If that's the case, does that mean Xiao Cunyu has multiple fathers?
"What do you think of my elder brother's attitude towards me?" Xiao Cunyu asked.
"That's thoughtful." Prince Lu followed Xiao Cunyu's words.
"Of course. My eldest brother is like a father to me. He takes care of my food and looks after my studies. My third brother is the same. He even tested my aptitude a few days ago and wanted to help me with my future. With such kindness, a brother is like a father, right?" Xiao Cunyu said seriously and made unreasonable remarks.
But it just doesn't sound unreasonable.
The men in the Xiao family are all mature and steady, and they definitely treat their youngest brother, Xiao Cunyu, like a son.
"Since both parties are at fault, you should apologize to each other and let this matter go," the prince said calmly.
Yuan Yi almost got internal injuries from holding it in.
Apologize to each other?
Isn't that still supporting Xiao Cunyu?!
Xiao Cunyu was so shameless, let alone an apology, even if he knelt down and kowtowed, she might happily agree and not take it seriously at all. But could he do the same?!
When he apologized, he was telling others that he was wrong and shouldn't have framed Xiao Guantang behind his back!
He is the one who is embarrassed!
Xiao Cunyu looked at him with a smile, as if waiting for him to speak first.
This kid has earned face for the prince today, and the prince will support him no matter what!
"Forget it! Seeing that you are so young, I don't want to argue with you!"
