Lin Junmao raised his head suddenly. Don't accept it? He apologized and you still don't accept it?

What should we do then? Do we really want Su Taifu to ruin his career?

"You just spoke disrespectfully to my elder sister. It is my elder sister that you should apologize to."

Hearing this, Lin Junmao's face became even uglier. Su Yuejian was a fifth-rank princess, so his apology was nothing, but Su Wan was indeed a merchant girl!

If he is asked to apologize to a merchant girl, how can he hold his head up high in the future?

Lin Mengran's expression was not much better either. This Su Yuejian was simply too arrogant. They were children of officials after all, how could they endure such humiliation!

Everyone looked at the Lin siblings, especially the wise lady, who was already very excited because of Su Yuejian's words.

In addition, Su Yuejian called Su Wan "big sister" all the time, and even a fool could see that the Taifu Mansion treated Su Wan specially.

Su Wan didn't expect that Su Yuejian would argue so hard to protect her today.

She looked at Su Yuejian, her chest full and filled with indescribable emotion.

Seeing that the brother and sister were hesitant to speak, Su Yue said coldly, "It is said that admitting one's mistakes is the best way to improve. I thought Master Lin was sincerely admitting his mistakes, but it seems that I was mistaken."

Li Shushi looked at Lin Junmao and frowned.

Lin Junmao had already seen Xie Jiusi and Prince Gong's attitude towards Su Yuejian just now, and with Li Shushi still watching, he hardened his heart.

He bowed his head and saluted Su Wan, "It was a misunderstanding just now. I apologize to Miss Su Wan here. Please don't take it to heart."

After Lin Junmao finished speaking, Su Wan did not reply. He looked up and saw that Su Wan's eyes were always on Lin Mengran.

Lin Junmao immediately winked at Lin Mengran. Lin Mengran didn't understand why her brother, who had always loved her, was blocking her everywhere today, but at this moment, everyone's eyes were on her.

She could only swallow her frustration and said reluctantly, "Please don't bother with me, Miss Su Wan."

Su Wan then spoke, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just let it go."

The farce came to an end, and the students' eyes were already fixed on Master Yan Xu.

Li Shushi looked at their gazes, then glanced at Yan Xu before saying, "Master Yan Xu was invited by Patriarch Xie to serve as the judge for this year's chess tournament."

Everyone became even more excited after hearing this, Master Yan Xu!

I remember that he was invincible in Tianjin back then, but he retired because he felt it was too boring to be defeated by Dugu Qiubai!

The man who had been invited many times by the royal family over the years but refused to show up was actually the judge of this year's chess competition!

The talented men and women are already eager to try. Although Master Yan Xu has long declared that he will not accept disciples, it would be enough to get Master Yan Xu's guidance...

Su Yuejian raised her eyes to look at Yan Xu. The man had an elegant yet calm demeanor.

Yan Xu seemed to have noticed her gaze, glanced in her direction, and then followed Xie Jiusi and the others to the upper seat.

Prince Gong wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words to Su Yuejian, but he was stopped as soon as he took a step forward.

"Cousin Chang."

Princess Meng Ange of Yilun walked up to him, looking shy, and said softly,

"I heard that my cousin fell ill a few days ago. An An was very worried. I wanted to go to your house to see you, but my mother wouldn't let me leave, so I had to give up. Are you okay now?"

Meng Ange looked at him with concern. Xiao Chengchang was only thinking about Su Yuejian at the moment and had no time to care about her.

He casually said, "My cousin is thoughtful. I am fine."

After saying that, he raised his foot to leave, but Meng Ange grabbed his sleeve.

"Brother Chang, where are you going? I haven't found a seat yet. Can I sit at the same table with you?"

Xiao Chengchang glanced at Su Yuejian.

Meng Ange followed Xiao Chengchang's gaze and saw Su Yuejian surrounded by a group of noble ladies.

She tightened her grip on the silk fan, a hint of jealousy and cruelty flashing across her eyes.

Based on her theory about men and women, who would believe it? Some people are born to be superior to others. How ignorant and stupid.

"Cousin Chang~" Meng Ange's eyes were shining with tears, and she pulled him and acted coquettishly.

Xiao Chengchang was afraid that Su Yue would misunderstand him if she saw him being intimate with another woman, so he raised his hand and pulled his sleeve out of Meng Ange's hand.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I have things to discuss with Patriarch Xie and the Imperial College's chief academic officer. There are still many seats available. Please choose any one you like."

After saying that, Xiao Chengchang went in the direction of Xie Jiusi.

Meng Ange felt ignored and stamped his feet in anger. Looking at Su Yuejian who was chatting and laughing with others beside him, jealousy in his eyes became even stronger.

Looking at Su Yuejian with the same eyes as her was Gu Xiyue on the other side. Originally, all the noble ladies who came up today surrounded her, but now, they all ran to Su Yuejian.

Seeing that they were much more enthusiastic towards Su Yuejian than towards herself, and remembering the look Xie Jiusi had given Su Yuejian just now, she inexplicably felt a sense of fear and panic in her heart.

She looked up at Xie Jiusi, only to see that Xie Jiusi was talking to Li Shushi beside him, still looking so gentle and elegant. Her clenched fists loosened, perhaps she was overthinking it.

"Miss Su, you are really amazing. I always read stories about women's heroic deeds in storybooks, and today I actually encountered a real one."

"Yes, yes, the clothes you make at Nihuayi are so beautiful. I saw several of them last time. If I hadn't been so broke, I would have bought them all!"

After this incident, coupled with Su Yuejian’s words just now, which corresponded to the thoughts they had in their hearts, many noble ladies not only did not look down on Su Wan, but were full of admiration for her.

Su Wan felt a little embarrassed by their praise, and looked at Su Yuejian beside her with a slightly red cheek.

Su Yuejian secretly hooked her finger.

Su Wan curved her lips and smiled.

In fact, Su Yuejian didn't need to say these words. As long as she revealed her identity, no one would bother her anymore.

But she didn't do that. She knew that temporary power oppression was far less effective than making everyone truly recognize Su Wan.

So in order to gain dignity and seek justice for herself, she did not hesitate to risk her own reputation and confront the students of the Imperial College. The things she said were things Su Wan had never dared to think of before.

Su Wan was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a noble lady exclaim,

"Hey, Princess Minghua's dress is so beautiful. What kind of material is it made of? I've never seen it before!"

Su Yuejian took the opportunity to say, "This is the yarn material newly developed by my eldest sister. It is called Snow Cloud Yarn. It is cool and sun-proof. It is breathable and light to wear. It is also bleached and dyed."

After saying that, he poked Su Wan, and Su Wan smiled knowingly, "Yes, this is new material. It is currently being made in the manor and is expected to be available in ten days."

"Okay, okay, then I'll register with Miss Su first. Please save one for me when the time comes. I want the sky-blue one that Princess Minghua is wearing!"

"Me too, Miss Su, I want a bleached and dyed one in the color of Fei!"

“…”

For a moment, everyone was enthusiastic about ordering clothes from Su Wan.

Su Wan raised her lips and said, "Thank you all for your kindness, ladies. However, we are here to enjoy the lotus and drink tea today. I will inform you in advance when new products are released. Then you are welcome to come to the store to try on the clothes and make your purchases."

The group of people here were chatting animatedly.

In the far corner, a man's eyes were fixed on Su Wan and Su Yuejian fiercely.

Su Wan seemed to have noticed something and looked up, but she only saw a corner of green clothes disappearing behind the screen.
