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

"Isn't this a poetry gathering? Why aren't there any poets?"

Meng Jingchen held his chin and looked at the students present.

"Let me see who is so talented that he can catch the eyes of the Su family."

The students lowered their heads and dared not speak. Everyone knew that on the surface this seemed to be a dispute between the Su and Meng families, but in fact it was a dispute between the eldest and second princes. Now the situation was unclear, and no one dared to speak out rashly.

Li Ze lowered his head and looked at Mu Wuhuan not far away. An idea flashed through his mind.

"Master Meng, even Miss Su praised the poem that Brother Mu just wrote. I'm sure Master Meng will also think it's good."

"Oh?"

Meng Jingchen half closed his eyes.

"Then I must get to know this Master Mu."

Jiang Tunan thought to himself that something was wrong. This kid Li Ze was playing tricks on him.

Seeing that Li Ze was bringing the conflict to himself, Mu Wuhuan could only stand up and salute Meng Jingchen.

"Mr. Meng, my name is Mu Wuhuan."

Meng Jingchen opened his eyes and looked at Mu Wuhuan carefully and said,

"Mu Wuhuan, what a good name, no worries."

"Sir, you are too kind."

Mu Wuhuan was still humble. Before Meng Jingchen could speak, Meng Yao spoke first.

"Brother, I don't think this guy's talent can compare to yours. Look at how poor he is."

"Ugh~"

When Jiang Tunan heard Meng Yao's deliberately coquettish voice, she vomited out of habit, but her sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone in the audience to hear it.

Ye Ruzhen looked at Jiang Tunan with horror on her face, but gave him a thumbs-up under the table.

Meng Jingchen's forehead veins bulged slightly, and he said word by word with a smile on his face.

"Meng Yao, if you speak to me in this voice again, even if you are my biological sister, I will poison you to silence."

Meng Yao originally wanted to please Meng Jingchen, her own brother who had always been indifferent to her, but Meng Jingchen was so capable that she did not dare to go against him and could only please him.

I had thought that Meng Jingchen had a sudden idea to bring her to the poetry reading today, just in case they got closer, but I didn't expect it to backfire.

Meng Yao wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks in front of Leng Qingyan and Su Lanlan, but after seeing that Meng Jingchen's face was not very good, she silently lowered her head and dared not speak any more.

"Miss, are you feeling unwell?"

Meng Jingchen looked in the direction of Jiang Tunan. Jiang Tunan was stared at by Meng Jingchen, and he felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

"I..I ate too much."

Jiang Tunan was timid, and Meng Jingchen seemed to have a bad temper.

"I wonder where this lady is from?"

Who is this company? How dare you be so bold?

Jiang Tunan felt guilty as if he had been caught talking in class by the teacher, and he hesitated and dared not speak.

"Ok?"

Meng Jingchen was quite far away from Jiang Tunan and couldn't hear clearly what Jiang Tunan said.

At this time Meng Yao said,

"I recognize you. You are Xiao's cousin. Your name is Jiang what?"

The Meng family was also invited to the welcoming banquet at that time, but Meng Jingchen did not go that day because he had something to do, so Meng Jingchen did not know Jiang Tunan.

Meng Yao was a little unhappy. It was bad enough that Meng Jingchen despised her, but this weird girl who came out of nowhere dared to laugh at her in public. She really didn't take her seriously.

Seeing that the Meng siblings' attention had shifted to Jiang Tunan, Su Lanlan also added fuel to the fire.

"This is Miss Jiang Tunan. I heard that Miss Jiang's talent was rewarded by His Majesty."

Su Lanlan thought to herself that Mu Wuhuan seemed more worthy of the Su family's winning over than Li Ze, and she must not let him die here today.

The only option now is to let Jiang Tunan suffer for now. If Jiang Tunan is in trouble, and the Xiao family holds the matter accountable, it will be the Meng family's fault.

"Jiang Tunan? Tunan? What a name that someone came up with in a remote place."

Meng Yao looked at Jiang Tunan with disdain on her face.

Leng Qingyan felt relieved when she saw Jiang Tunan being mocked. She winked at Ye Ruxuan next to her. Ye Ruxuan heard what Leng Qingyan meant and said loudly,

"Miss Jiang is the cousin of Mr. Xiao Er. She spends every day with Mr. Xiao Er in the Xiao Mansion. I'm sure her talent and learning must be not much worse."

Meng Yao frowned when she heard this. Ye Ruxuan smiled silently and kept silent after seeing Meng Yao's reaction.

Meng Yao likes Xiao Mingli. As long as she thinks that Jiang Tunan has some feelings for Xiao Mingli, Jiang Tunan will start to be in trouble.

Jiang Tunan chuckled and slowly said,

"Ms. Ye follows Miss Leng around like a pendant every day. How come your name isn't on the list of talented ladies in Kyoto?"

Ye Ruzhen burst out laughing. Qi Guanming was about to rescue Jiang Tunan, but now he also curled his lips.

"Jiang Tunan!"

Seeing that she had lost face in front of everyone, Ye Ruxuan was a little furious. At this time, Ye Ruzhen also spoke slowly,

"Ye Ruxuan, your father always told you to read more books, but you didn't listen. Now you are embarrassed, aren't you?"

Ye Ruzhen gave Jiang Tunan a look that said "Don't worry, I'm here for you". When Ye Ruxuan found out that Ye Ruzhen and Jiang Tunan were in cahoots, she became even more angry.

"Jiang Tunan, don't go too far!"

"Huh? Me?"

Jiang Tunan pointed at himself, and Ye Ruzhen nodded at him, her eyes filled with sympathy for Jiang Tunan who was bitten by a mad dog.

"Who else?"

Ye Ruxuan was furious. Jiang Tunan looked straight ahead and suddenly laughed.

Everyone:?

Ye Ruxuan: ???

Jiang Tunan found that his laughter was a little inappropriate, and quickly returned to his expressionless state.

"why are you laughing?"

Meng Jingchen couldn't quite understand this woman and felt that she didn't seem to be in good health.

Jiang Tunan said seriously,

"I'm sorry, I usually don't laugh, but Miss Ye looked like a hopeless illiterate just now."

Ye Ruxuan: ???

Ye Ruzhen: (holding back laughter) (giving a thumbs up)

Su Yangxu couldn't hold it back any longer and laughed out loud. After he started, everyone at the table also began to laugh in a suppressed manner.

Ye Ruxuan's face turned pale and she cried.

"Sister Qingyan!"

Leng Qingyan comforted Ye Ruxuan, but secretly cursed Ye Ruxuan in her heart for being incompetent, and she couldn't even win over someone like Jiang Tunan.

"Miss Jiang, it seems that you have a certain degree of confidence in your own knowledge?"

Leng Qingyan frowned slightly, her eyes full of dissatisfaction with Jiang Tunan.

"no."

Jiang Tunan smiled brilliantly.

“I am also illiterate, but I am not desperate.”

Leng Qingyan: ...

Just when the atmosphere fell into a mysterious silence, Qi Guanming finally got a word in.

"Ms. Jiang is very straightforward. I hope Miss Ye doesn't mind."

Qi Guanming stood up to speak for Jiang Tunan, and Ye Ruzhen approached Jiang Tunan and whispered,

"Are you really having an affair with the prince?"

Jiang Tunan said helplessly,

"Today is only the second time I met him..."

Ye Ruzhen became even more excited after hearing this.

"I know, I know. It's written in the storybooks. Love at first sight. Love at second sight. Love at third sight..."

"After three meetings, they decide to spend their lives together. After four, they get bored. After five, they torture each other. After six, seven, eight, and nine, they fight until death."

Ye Ruzhen: ...

Jiang Tunan patted Ye Ruzhen on the shoulder.

"Sister, don't read those storybooks. When I can read, I will write them for you and let you eat something good."

Jiang Tunan brought out Xia Hua's words again, and Ye Ruzhen was even more excited.

"Then study hard, I'll wait for you!"
