"Since when did the prince start to like participating in poetry gatherings like this?"

Meng Jingchen looked at Qi Guanming and wondered when the Prince of Guangping's Mansion had become involved with the Su family.

Qi Guanming understood the probing meaning in Meng Jingchen's words. He never liked to get involved in these party disputes, so he also clarified,

"I happened to meet him today, so I came aboard to join in the fun."

Meng Jingchen understood what Qi Guanming meant and replied with a smile,

"That's great, today we are destined to meet again. The Imperial Concubine will hold a flower viewing banquet in the palace someday, and the Crown Prince must show his favor then."

"nature."

Seeing Jiang Tunan disappear so quietly, Ye Ruxuan was not convinced.

"Mr. Meng, Jiang Tunan..."

"Miss Ye Er."

Meng Jingchen suppressed his smile.

"The prince has already said that Miss Jiang has a straightforward personality, so don't hold on to her anymore."

Ye Ruxuan was also overwhelmed by her emotions for a moment, and only now remembered that the Master Meng in front of her was not a man with a good temper.

"Ruxuan was reckless."

Jiang Tunan was screaming in his heart, it turned out that a arrogant sister needed another arrogant brother to subdue her.

"Wait a minute, Miss Jiang, since you are Madam Xiao's cousin, why don't you live in the Anguo Mansion?"

Meng Yao suddenly asked, catching Jiang Tunan off guard.

Why? Because she was a fake cousin, and when she walked into the Duke of Anguo's mansion, she couldn't even call out a single person's name.

"Speak up, I'm asking you a question!"

The more Meng Yao looked at Jiang Tunan's silence, the more suspicious she became. The more she looked, the more she felt that she had some improper thoughts about Xiao Mingli.

Jiang Tunan was in great pain. It seemed that she was affected by Xiao Mingli's romantic affair.

"Miss Meng is right. I will move back in after a while."

After a while, anyway, it’s better to delay it as long as possible. Maybe after the heroine appears, she will go to deal with the heroine. Then she will be able to see the naive heroine fighting against the vicious female supporting role.

So, the male lead is Xiao Mingli, right?

This charm, first it was Ye Ruxuan, then Meng Yao, and who knows how many more suitors will come after that. If she doesn't stay away, she will be spit on by these people to death.

Moreover, Xiao Mingli is also famous for his talent and is one of the four great talents. In comparison, Xiao Mingrui's expressionless face is indeed much inferior.

"Alas, Miss Meng doesn't know."

Seeing Meng Yao's look of disbelief, Jiang Tunan started her performance again. Seeing this, Chunhua immediately handed over a handkerchief.

Jiang Tunan took the handkerchief and pretended to wipe his eyes a few times.

"My family is a distant relative of the Anguo Mansion. My mother died early, and my father was seriously ill and could not be cured. I had no choice but to come to Kyoto to seek refuge with my relatives. My aunt was kind-hearted and kept me in the Xiao Mansion for a few more days, thinking that my parents were no longer around."

Her mother died young, her father was seriously ill, her family was ruined, and she was fragile.

Meng Yao was a little unconvinced.

"really?"

Jiang Tunan pinched his arm and a few tears appeared in his eyes.

"Really? I am also living under someone else's roof in the Xiao Mansion. My cousins ​​are all outstanding and I can barely say a word in the mansion."

Meng Yao's suspicion has been largely dispelled, Jiang Tunan takes advantage of the victory to pursue

"Especially since my cousin Mingli is so busy every day, I haven't seen him very often, let alone been able to talk to him."

Meng Yao let down her guard and felt that she was really overthinking. With Jiang Tunan being someone like him, so what even if he had improper thoughts about Xiao Mingli.

"I see. It's not easy for you either. Go back and sit down."

Meng Yao waved her hand, too lazy to care about Jiang Tunan anymore.

Jiang Tunan agreed pitifully and went back happily.

Qi Guanming looked at Jiang Tunan's slightly bleak back and murmured,

"I didn't expect that she would have such a hard time in the Xiao Mansion."

Ye Ruxuan doubted,

"Sister Qingyan, I don't believe her!"

Leng Qingyan glanced at Ye Ruxuan with some impatience.

"You'd better talk less."

Just at this moment, a servant came in to report that Xiao Mingli and Xiao Mingrui had arrived.

Jiang Tunan:? What are they doing here?

Meng Yao stood up from her seat happily.

"Second Master Xiao is here?!"

Meng Yao happily turned around a few times, then as if she remembered something, she frantically put her clothes and jewelry into place.

"Meng Yao, sit down and don't force me to slap you."

Meng Jingchen put down the teacup heavily and looked at the two people who were walking in.

"It's really rare, why are you two here?"

Su Yangxu whispered to Su Lanlan,

"Look, this is clearly our Su family's poetry gathering, but it's being made to seem like it was organized by Meng Jingchen."

Su Lanlan was speechless.

"Why is that, brother?"

It's because you are useless!

"How should I know? Am I not asking you?"

Su Lanlan: Smile politely.

"I heard that my cousin was here, so I came to take her back home to study."

Xiao Mingli turned to Jiang Tunan,

"Cousin, you still have to prepare for the entrance exam. You have been delayed long enough today."

Qi Guanming said hurriedly,

"I brought Miss Jiang here for a boat trip. It's not good for you to take her away rashly like this."

"Wait, didn't you say that you and Mr. Xiao have a bad relationship? Why did he come to pick you up in person?"

Meng Yao also stood up and questioned loudly.

Jiang Tunan: The situation is getting more and more chaotic. What should I do?

"My stomach felt a little uncomfortable, and I fainted first."

Jiang Tunan pretended to faint and leaned in Ye Ruzhen's arms. Ye Ruzhen suddenly became the focus of the whole audience and was a little at a loss.

Meng Jingchen tapped the edge of the table with his fingertips and said leisurely,

"It's okay. My Meng Mansion's doctor is an expert in medical skills, especially acupuncture. If we let him give her acupuncture, Miss Jiang will wake up in less than a quarter of an hour."

Jiang Tunan: What acupuncture? It’s a pain awakening technique.

"I feel much better all of a sudden. I'm a little weak as expected. I've been out for too long today. Cousin Mingrui, let's go! Eh? Who's this guy next to you? Is he the legendary cousin Mingli? I've heard of your name for a long time, and today I see that you're truly a rare talent!"

Xiao Mingli: What happened? He was fine when he left the house.

Jiang Tunan immediately woke up from Ye Ruzhen's arms and was about to leave with Xiao Mingrui, but was stopped by Meng Jingchen.

"Since Miss Jiang is fine now, please take a seat with the two gentlemen. The poetry gathering is not over yet."

Jiang Tunan looked towards Xiao Mingrui.

Jiang Tunan: Cousin, please say something.

Xiao Mingrui shook his head, signaling Jiang Tunan not to act rashly. Jiang Tunan said he understood.

"Mr. Meng, my cousin said he's leaving now. We'll go first. Bye."

Xiao Mingrui:? Is that what I mean?

"Cousin, now that you are here, please sit down."

Xiao Mingrui grabbed Jiang Tunan and forced her to sit down.

Although today's poetry gathering was divided into seats for men and women, there were actually not so many rules. For example, the Meng siblings and the Su siblings sat next to each other.

So Jiang Tunan faced Meng Yao's deathly gaze and sat between Xiao Mingrui and Xiao Mingli with a dead heart.

I couldn’t move and couldn’t eat any melons. It was such a heartbreaking day.
