The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Xiao Mingli was still wearing the official uniform of the Honglu Temple, with his collar slightly untied, and it seemed that he had come in a hurry.

"My Lord, what are you doing?"

Baili Hong waved to his men, and they immediately let go of Jiang Tunan. Chunhua stepped forward with red eyes and supported Jiang Tunan.

"Second Master Xiao arrived quite quickly. It seems that the Honglu Temple is quite quiet today."

"I'm sorry that His Highness the First Prince is still thinking about the people in the Honglu Temple. But if I wasn't free today, how could I see His Highness the First Prince bullying a weak woman in public?"

Baili Hong coughed a few times. Although Jiang Tunan was wrong first, he was also wrong for taking action just now. If he told others about it, he would not be right. So he said in a slower voice,

"Second Master Xiao misunderstood. It was Miss Jiang who bullied my cousin first. I just wanted Miss Jiang to apologize to my cousin. But Miss Jiang not only didn't apologize but also spoke rudely. That's why I got a little impatient."

Jiang Tunan laughed in his heart. Baili Hong had put all the blame on him in just a few words. At this time, Su Xiaoxiao also spoke up.

"Second Master Xiao, don't blame Miss Jiang. I just fell down by accident..."

Su Xiaoxiao began to choke up as she spoke the last part, and silently lowered her head and shed tears. When Baili Hong saw Su Xiaoxiao like this, he admired Su Xiaoxiao's kindness and felt sorry for her.

"Um..."

When Xiao Mingli saw Su Xiaoxiao crying, he was stunned for a moment and even forgot why he came to the Imperial Medical Bureau.

At this moment, Xiao Mingli had only Su Xiaoxiao in his mind. It seemed that no matter what Su Xiaoxiao said, he would agree.

"Cousin Tunan, was it really you who pushed Miss Su down?"

Xiao Mingli's tone was slow and stiff. Jiang Tunan didn't think too much about it and just thought it was a normal reaction between the male and female protagonists.

"Why are you blaming me?"

Jiang Tunan took a few steps towards Su Xiaoxiao, tears welling up in his eyes, looking like he had suffered a lot of injustice.

"I really didn't push her just now..."

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her eyelashes to hide the joy of victory in her eyes, but at this moment something unexpected happened. Jiang Tunan quickly moved a few steps, jumped in front of Su Xiaoxiao and pushed her out.

Su Xiaoxiao was caught off guard and was about to fall backwards, but there was a pillar behind her, so she just bumped into it.

"Okay, now it's my turn to push."

Jiang Tunan clapped his hands, as if he had accomplished something great.

"Jiang Tunan! You are really going too far! Second Young Master Xiao, please take care of your cousin!"

Baili Hong roared at the two people from the Xiao family, and then held Su Xiaoxiao in his arms.

"Cousin, are you...?"

"Cousin Mingli, did you rush all the way from the Honglu Temple just to scold me?"

Jiang Tunan's eyes were burning, but Xiao Mingli's mind was a little dazed, as if a person who had suddenly woken up from a deep sleep.

Just now, the world in his mind seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making it difficult for him to see things clearly. However, Jiang Tunan's call brought him back to reality from his hazy fantasy.

"No, cousin, that's not what I meant. I was just afraid that you were being bullied, so I wanted to ask clearly."

"Oh."

The answer is not important to Jiang Tunan. What is important is that Xiao Mingli will not get in the way.

"Jiang Tunan, you should apologize now."

Baili Hong stared at Jiang Tunan fiercely, and his servants secretly surrounded Jiang Tunan, as if they would take action immediately if Jiang Tunan did not apologize.

"Cousin, don't be afraid..."

Xiao Mingli wanted to restore the favorability he had just lost with Jiang Tunan, but he didn't expect Jiang Tunan to say,

"Cousin Mingli, don't be impulsive. If you fight with these servants, it will be 30-70 between you. They take 30 and you take 70."

Xiao Mingli was touched. He didn't expect that he was so highly regarded in Jiang Tunan's heart.

"Don't get excited. What I mean is that if they punch you three times, you'll get seven."

Xiao Mingli: I was happy for nothing.

"The entrance to the Imperial Medical Bureau is really busy~"

Baili Hong looked at the two of them and said impatiently,

"Baili Hao, what are you doing here?"

The Second Prince Baili Hao had an expression as if he was watching a show, but today, he was not accompanied by Meng Jingchen, but Mu Wuhuan.

"I'll see how my brother uses his power to oppress others."

Baili Hong choked, clenched his fists, and glared at the person who came.

"Miss Jiang, long time no see."

Baili Hao ran straight towards Jiang Tunan, but was stopped by Xiao Mingli calmly.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"Master Mingli is here too. It looks like he just got off duty. It seems that what everyone said is true. You cousins ​​in the Xiao family really have a good relationship."

There was something hidden in the second prince's words. Xiao Mingli frowned slightly. Xiao Mingrui had mentioned this to him before. Now it seems that the second prince's mind is indeed not simple.

"cousin.."

Seeing that everyone's attention was shifted to Jiang Tunan, Su Xiaoxiao carefully pulled Baili Hong's sleeve and bit her lip to act pitiful.

Baili Hong thought that he must not embarrass himself in front of Su Xiaoxiao, so he spoke in a tense voice.

"I'm not using my power to pressure others. It's a fact that Miss Jiang pushed others. If you don't apologize today, this matter will not end!"

Su Xiaoxiao calmed down a little, as long as Baili Hong was still on her side.

Su Xiaoxiao spoke at the right time.

"Your Highness, my cousin and I are not targeting Miss Jiang. Master Mingli was also present just now, and he saw it. It's just that Xiaoxiao doesn't understand how he offended Miss Jiang."

Xiao Mingli was in a dilemma at this time. If it happened before he came, he could still think of it as someone else's nonsense, but what happened clearly in front of him, he couldn't pretend it didn't happen at all.

"What does Master Mingli think?"

Baili Hao was not in a hurry to take sides, but instead shifted the topic to Xiao Mingli.

"My cousin did push Miss Su..."

Xiao Mingli spoke to Jiang Tunan awkwardly,

"Cousin, you are indeed wrong in this matter. You should apologize to Miss Su Er."

Xiao Mingli was carefully taught by Xiao Huaimin since he was a child, so he developed a character that likes to distinguish right from wrong. Therefore, when looking at things, he only approaches them from a rational perspective.

In Jiang Tunan's eyes, Xiao Mingli just took the path that the male protagonist should take, and she did not expect Xiao Mingli to choose to help her between her and the female protagonist.

"I pushed Su Xiaoxiao once and she asked for an apology. If I apologize a few more times, can she push me a few more times?"

Jiang Tunan spoke with a grin, not feeling humiliated about having to apologize. Instead, he treated it as a business deal and started calculating it.

"In that case, I'll start with eight or ten times."

Jiang Tunan acted as if he was ready to go and even started warming up.

"Jiang Tunan!"

Baili Hong was once again ignited with anger by Jiang Tunan.

"How dare you disrespect the prince? Come, arrest her for me!"

Jiang Tunan muttered,

"Why are you still angry?"

"and many more!"

Baili Hao spoke out to stop him.

"Please tell me, brother, how did Miss Jiang disrespect the prince?"

"If I say it's her, then it is her. Baili Hao, I advise you to mind your own business."

"you!"

Baili Hao didn't expect that Baili Hong would just throw the jar into the ground.

"Brother, aren't you afraid that Father will blame you if he finds out?"

"Even if Father asks, I am right. It is a fact that Miss Jiang pushed someone."

Baili Hong and Baili Hao looked at each other, and there seemed to be invisible sparks colliding in the air.

Xiao Mingli looked at Jiang Tunan beside him and didn't understand why she refused to bow her head. It was obvious that this matter could be resolved by just apologizing.

However, Xiao Mingli did not continue to persuade Jiang Tunan. The reason was simple: he just couldn't say it for no reason.

"Stop it! Stop fighting! Stop it!"

Jiang Tunan turned 360 degrees and came between Baili Hao and Baili Hong. She first thanked Baili Hao politely.

"Thank you, Second Prince, for speaking for my daughter."

Then he took out the red string hanging around his neck from his collar and pulled out a jade ring tied to it.

Mu Wuhuan was the first person to recognize the ring.

"Is this the one the emperor gave at the opening ceremony?"

Jiang Tunan did not deny it. After she took the ring back, it was only after Xiao Huaimin's hint that she realized that the emperor's gift of a personal jade ornament actually meant a promise.

She had brought the ring today originally to go to the princess's mansion, but she hadn't used it. Now it happened to be used.

"What does Miss Jiang mean? Do you want the emperor to come forward and settle this matter?"

Baili Hong's tone was cold. If Jiang Tunan really did this, he would have no choice. Even if Baili Quan knew what happened today, he would be scolded.

"I want to go to the palace to ask for permission."

Jiang Tunan spoke seriously, and everyone present was startled.

Baili Hao was secretly delighted when he saw Jiang Tunan's attitude. It seemed that Baili Hong was going to be in big trouble, so he quickly spoke up.

"Miss Jiang, if you want to enter the palace, you can take my carriage, the prince's carriage, and no one dares to stop you."

As he spoke, Baili Hao looked at Baili Hong meaningfully.

"I wonder what decree Miss Jiang wants to ask for in the palace?"

Mu Wuhuan always felt that things would not develop as Baili Hao expected.

"I want to ask the emperor to grant me ten slaps of freedom."

Mu Wuhuan:?

Everyone:? ?

"This way I can slap someone on command without having to apologize."
