Prince An's words about Jiang Xin as "a clansman who cannot be put on the stage" made everyone laugh secretly. Many ladies present showed either mocking or amused smiles, and many in the capital. The ladies have all been bullied by Jiang Xin, and Jiang Xin usually bullies others by asserting his status. Now seeing Jiang Xin being said like this by someone with more status, which one of these ladies would not be happy to hear it?
Jiang Xin's face turned blue and red, and she felt extremely embarrassed. She noticed the looks and suppressed chuckles around her, and an unknown fire surged in her heart. These people dared to laugh at her, and then she Make sure they look good!
But now... facing Prince An's intimidating pressure, Jiang Xin did not dare to say a word, let alone raise her head, and could only leave it to her brother Jiang Lin to handle it. If she were allowed to bully those who were inferior to her, she would be ruthless, but if she met someone like Prince An, she would not dare to make a mistake at all.
"My sister-in-law didn't know the identity of the princess before. If there is any offense..."
Jiang Lin wanted to defend a few more words, but was interrupted by Wu Zechen: "You can just come up and curse someone without knowing your identity? The Jiang family is really a good tutor. Mr. Jiang is still the prince's young master, ha!"
Wu Zechen sneered, making Jiang Lin's face look ugly again. Even Jiang Xin's face became a little more panicked. They didn't expect that Wu Zechen would hold on to the identity of his grandfather, the prince's young master, and his words were full of It was meant to be sarcastic, and besides, there were so many people present. If this was reported back to the house and Mr. Jiang knew about it, he would definitely punish them!
Although Jiang Lin is only two or three years younger than Wu Zechen, their identities are vastly different. Not to mention their royal status, Jiang Lin is completely unable to compete with him in terms of personal prestige and power. Compared with Wu Zechen, Jiang Lin is now just a minor official who has just entered the official career for two or three years. Although he is not an idle official, he does not have much power.
As for Wu Zechen, as early as when Jiang Lin was still cuddling in the arms of his parents and acting coquettishly, he had already shouldered a blood feud and set foot on the battlefield of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Jiang Lin gritted his teeth secretly, resisting the strong sense of oppression from Wu Zechen, and wanted to say something more to protect his biological sister. After all, if the eldest granddaughter of their Jiang family was slapped in public, there would be no place for her face. If you let them go, they will definitely be severely punished when they go back, and maybe they will even give the second room an opportunity to take advantage of them!
However, before Jiang Lin could speak, Wu Zechen was the first to speak: "Since the Jiang family can't manage their own children, then I will reluctantly teach Mr. Jiang's granddaughter and give him a hand."
Prince An is determined to stand up for his princess!
This idea came to everyone's mind, and at the same time, they felt more and more clearly that Prince An attached great importance to Princess An!
Jiang Lin was taken aback. He obviously didn't expect that Wu Zechen would be so persistent in punishing Jiang Xin for Xia Luotong. He thought that for the sake of his grandfather and father, Wu Zechen would let the matter go. After all, he was It seemed that it was not worth going against the Jiang family for such a worthless abandoned daughter of the Xia family.
But it was obvious that Jiang Lin had misjudged Xia Luotong's position in Wu Zechen's heart.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing Wu Zechen's personal guard Lian Ye walking towards the two brothers and sisters, Jiang Xin finally panicked and hid behind Jiang Lin in fear, clutching his sleeves tightly, while Jiang Lin spoke urgently, thinking Want to say something more.
But what Jiang Lin didn't expect was that Xia Luotong, who had not spoken since Wu Zechen appeared, spoke now.
"My lord, forget it."
Xia Luotong's words made everyone stunned. Forget it?
Even Wu Zechen and Chu Junxiu couldn't help turning their heads to look at her, their eyes full of surprise. Obviously, in their understanding, if she was bullied, she was not the kind of person who could let it go.
Xia Luotong looked up at Wu Zechen, his eyes full of cunning that only he could see: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Mr. Jiang, why don't we just forget about this? It's not a big deal at all, and I'm not That stingy person, please ask Miss Jiang to apologize to me and let this matter be over, what do you think?"
Seeing the flash of light in her eyes, Wu Zechen didn't know what she was thinking, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, this was his Tong'er.
"She is disrespectful to you, so I will do whatever you want." He agreed without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, you won't blame me, right? After all, you are kind enough to stand up for me." Xia Luotong blinked and looked at him.
Wu Zechen's heart melted when he looked at her such a cute look. How could he blame her? At that moment, Wong faced her closely and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How can I bear to blame you?"
Xia Luotong paused for a moment, and a hint of shyness flashed across his eyes. With so many people watching, he was still so unscrupulous!
She reached out her little hand and pinched his waist in annoyance, but she only received a low chuckle from him. She couldn't help but glare at him with a hint of warning, and then he straightened his expression.
When he looked up at the Jiang brothers and sisters again, the expression on his face had returned to indifference: "Did you hear what the princess said? The princess is kind and will spare you this time and ask your sister to come over and apologize."
Xia Luotong sat happily, looking at Jiang Xin not far away, waiting for her to come over and apologize. Sensing the complicated look from Chu Junxiu next to her, she could only force herself not to turn her head and try her best to ignore it.
Now that she has made a decision, there is no need to hesitate anymore, because whenever she shows a look of reluctance, it is equivalent to giving him a wrong signal...
Although Jiang Lin was surprised that Xia Luotong would suddenly let go of the matter, if it was just an apology that could save Jiang Xin from being slapped in public, how could he not accept it?
At that moment, he was afraid that Xia Luotong would regret it, so he immediately said, "I would like to thank Princess An."
After that, he turned back to Jiang Xin and gave Jiang Xin a look, which was rare and stern. If he could still pamper her in normal times, but now that Prince An is personally in charge, he can't protect her!
Although an apology was nothing compared to being slapped, Jiang Xin felt uncomfortable and even humiliated when she thought about apologizing to the woman in front of her. She was just an abandoned daughter of the Xia family! Is she worthy of Jiang Xin bowing her head and admitting her mistake? !
But Jiang Xin saw the look in her brother's eyes and knew that this apology could not be avoided, so she had to walk to the front of Xia Luotong with a face full of reluctance, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I was so offensive just now, please ask Princess forgive."
The sound was as thin as the chirping of mosquitoes, and it was difficult to hear what she was saying even from a little distance.
