Liu Xu sat up straight and patted his chest proudly: "Jiuning, right? My name is Liu Xu. You look so weak and fragile. If someone bullies you in the future, just tell me my name and I will definitely stand up for you."

Jiuning smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have to trouble Miss Liuxu from now on."

The three of them packed their books and walked out carrying the boxes.

"Jiang Li..."

From a distance, a male voice was heard behind them. When they turned around, they saw a jumping man running towards them.

"Why don't you wait..."

When he was only a few steps away from the others, the man's gaze fixed on Jiuning's face and he stopped talking.

Jiang Jingrui looked at the person next to Jiang Li. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt. However, he couldn't remember where he had seen him. However, he couldn't help but keep looking at the other person.

"Jiang Jingrui, are you looking for death? Why do you keep staring at the girl?"

Liu Xu's loud voice interrupted Jiang Jingrui's thoughts. He scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, she looks very familiar. What is her name? Have you met her before?"

Jiuning smiled dignifiedly, her two deep dimples reflected in Jiang Jingrui's eyes: "My name is Jiang Jiuning, and I have never met you before, sir."

This silly boy is really easy to deceive, just like when he was a child.

"Jiang Jiuning? I've definitely never heard of that name."

Jiang Jingrui suppressed his doubts. Liu Xu couldn't stand his behavior: "I think you just want to chat up the girl. Stop making these useless excuses."

Jiang Jingrui felt very aggrieved. She really felt that he was very familiar and kind, so she approached him and started a conversation with him.

Several people burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was very joyful. Xue Fangfei finally understood why Jiu Ning always wore a veil every time she appeared at the Jiang family.

She originally thought it was an exaggeration. After ten years, it would not be easy to recognize him. But Jiang Jingrui's stunned look made her realize that the Jiang family would definitely recognize Jiuning.

"Okay, let's go!"

Several people carried boxes and walked out. As soon as they walked out of the gate of Mingyi Hall, they heard a noise from the square in front.

"Isn't the Ye family of Luyang very wealthy? This painting of mine is a pine-shaded painting by Master Li of the previous dynasty. It's priceless. Now that you've broken it, if you pay me three thousand taels of gold, I'll pretend this never happened."

Several people quickly ran forward and looked at the excitement in the center of the field. Several women surrounded a man in the middle, a bit like a bully woman teasing a decent man.

Jiang Jingrui suddenly spoke up and whispered in Xue Fangfei's ear: "Isn't this your cousin?"

"Cousin?" Xue Fangfei asked and turned to look at Jiu Ning.

"Yes, Ye Shijie from the Luyang Ye family, your cousin."

When I heard that the person inside was Ye Shijie, I had been talking about him a lot recently. I didn't expect to see him so suddenly.

It has been many years since I last saw him, but looking closely, he hasn't changed much. He is still so serious. When he was a child, he was like a little adult, but now he has grown up, he has become pedantic and inflexible.

"You are blackmailing me," Ye Shijie said indignantly, but he didn't want to argue with the woman.

Jiu Ning couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. He really thought that justice was in the hearts of the people. Does this mean he believed in justice, or is he waiting for others to come and save him?

His eyes inadvertently swept to the second floor on the opposite corner of the street. Su Guogong was looking over here with his arms folded.

Jiu Ning raised his hand, moved his fingers, and greeted the person opposite. Xiao Heng immediately grinned brightly. She could see it clearly from a distance. He was another fool.

However, the farce in the center of the field finally attracted her attention, and several girls from the school actually took the initiative to step forward to escort them.

Ye Shijie was just following the etiquette of a gentleman. Otherwise, no matter how weak a man was, how could he be easily controlled by a girl?

Jiu Ning looked unhappy. How could her relatives be bullied like this? She strode forward.

"Stop!" Xue Fangfei's voice was heard beside him.

Jiu Ning then shouted, "The world is going downhill. It really is going downhill. Several women are actually engaging in sexual activity with men in public. I guess they don't want to lose their reputation anymore."

The people who were holding Ye Shijie's arms immediately blushed and let go of their hands, feeling embarrassed to continue. However, they did not dare to leave without receiving orders, so they just stood there.

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business?" Meng Hongjin was extremely arrogant when he saw someone he didn't know.

Jiu Ning didn't even look at Meng Hongjin, and walked straight to Ye Shijie's side: "Have you become stupid from studying? You don't even know how to defend yourself for such a small matter."

Ye Shijie straightened his back and looked the visitor up and down. She looked familiar, kind, and beautiful, especially the dimples on her cheeks, which were faintly visible when she spoke.

Jiuning looked down on Ye Shijie at first, then looked at Meng Hongjin and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Jiuning. Nice to meet you!"

"I don't know you, but I think you're not a respectable person. What's the matter? Are you interfering in the affairs of my general's mansion?"

Jiu Ning sighed twice, "Three thousand taels of gold, everyone heard it. For a general's mansion to come up with three thousand taels of gold, it must be corruption or bullying. These are ill-gotten gains, and they should be thoroughly investigated."

Meng Hongjin's expression immediately changed: "You're talking nonsense, I don't have any at home."

"You just said it yourself, Hua, you have to pay three thousand taels of gold as compensation. Everyone heard it. What explanation do you have for this?"

Meng Hongjin became increasingly anxious. Jiu Ning took a few steps closer to her and continued to press her aggressively, "I can't let you leave today. Take this stolen property with you. Is there anyone kind enough to report it to the police?"

As soon as Jiu Ning finished speaking, people started whispering. Meng Hongjin's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"You're talking nonsense. This painting is fake. It's not worth three thousand taels." He said it without thinking in a hurry.

"You're making up lies to exonerate yourself. Would a dignified general's mansion produce fake paintings?"

Jiu Ning didn't want to let the other party go at all. If she didn't teach her a lesson, she really thought she was easy to bully!

The sound of people pointing and talking around them got louder. Meng Hongjin felt so ashamed that he pointed at Jiuning and said, "You--you, I'll remember you. Let's see what happens."

After saying that, he picked up the painting and ran out in a panic.

Jiu Ning greeted Xue Fangfei, Jiang Jingrui and Liu Xu, then walked towards the second floor of the teahouse.

When passing by Ye Shijie, the other party bowed and thanked him. Jiu Ning chuckled and said, "Nerd."

He turned around and left, leaving Ye Shijie stunned. Why was he cursing?

When she went up to the second floor, she saw Xiao Heng's doting smile. He first poured her a cup of tea and handed it to Jiuning.

"How do you feel about attending class today?"

Jiuning sipped his tea and shook his head. "The teacher is too rigid and his teaching is very boring."

"Do you know that you just ruined the plans of the Li brothers?"

Xiao Heng couldn't help but find it funny. At this moment, the two brothers were probably jumping up and down in some corner!
