Transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role, reborn as a hostage to the paranoid male protag

Su Yingxue smiled.

The scene suddenly changed, and she laughed out loud, "But Sister Zhang is also the descendant of an official in Kyoto. I heard from Sister Qingming that her father's official rank seems to be much higher than Sister Zhang's!"

"How come Sister Zhang has seen Sister Qingming for such a long time and yet she has never bowed to her?"

"Oh, it's all my fault," Qin Xue explained with a smile. "Sister Zhang must be just like me, a wild girl from a poor rural area, who doesn't know the etiquette of going to the capital. Otherwise, how could Sister Zhang know the etiquette but not follow it?"

Originally, Qin Lan and Zhang Yingying didn't know what Qin Xue was planning, but now that Qin Xue said this, the ladies and talented men watching the show at several nearby tables burst into laughter.

Even Zhang Yingying blushed with shame. Her face turned blue, red, purple and white. It was so beautiful.

"Qin Xue! What a sharp-tongued little girl," Zhang Yingying gnashed her teeth in hatred. She had never been so humiliated at such an important banquet in front of so many powerful families.

"Oh, Sister Zhang, you are so nice to praise me so much. You must be a well-educated and well-mannered daughter of an official. You will definitely pay your respects to Sister Qingming..." Qin Xue couldn't help but add a sentence when she saw this, and directly put Zhang Yingying on the fire to roast her.

If Zhang Yingying bowed now, she would have acknowledged her previous lack of etiquette. If she didn't bow, it would have confirmed her lack of etiquette. Although Qin Xue's actions were meant to belittle herself, which of them wasn't also a satire on her?

Even so, Situ Qingming realized that Qin Xue had already vented her anger. She herself was a straightforward person and liked to solve problems with force when she was unhappy with someone, but Qin Xue was smart, so she had to admit it.

Qin Xue helped her like this, and Situ Qingming smiled happily. She loved this girl even more.

Zhang Yingying didn't like Situ Qingming for losing face for her a few days ago, and today, even a concubine's daughter from the countryside next to Situ Qingming dared to be so disrespectful and humiliate her. Naturally, she was furious.

Zhang Yingying was so angry that she reached out to hit Qin Xue in the face. She wanted to slap the little girl's face to stop her from smiling so brightly and dazzlingly.

Zhang Yingying's movements were so fast that when Taxue reacted, Zhang Yingying's hand was already very close to Qin Xue's face. She threw the stone in her arms at Zhang Yingying's wrist, but it was like a drop in the bucket.

Su Yingxue saw Zhang Yingying's hand coming straight towards her face. She subconsciously closed her eyes and used her hand to block it, but after a while, the pain did not come. Instead, a cry of pain came from the opposite side not far away.

Su Yingxue opened her eyes and looked ahead quietly. Suddenly, she found a hand as white as jade, with long, slender fingers and distinct joints, stretching out from the green sleeves of her shirt and firmly grasping Zhang Yingying's wrist. He must be very strong, because Zhang Yingying could not break free from her wrist and kept crying out in pain.

Su Yingxue then realized that it was the man in blue who had been sitting at the last seat. She didn't expect that the man had saved her. He helped her after only meeting her twice. He was indeed a kind-hearted person.

Seeing this, Qin Xue stood up and bowed to the blue-robed scholar in front of her, thanking him softly, "Qin Xue thanks you for saving me, sir. I haven't asked for your name yet."

Seeing this, the young man in green finally let go. Zhang Yingying had been pulling back with all her might, but this time, because she suddenly lost control of her wrist, she fell heavily to the ground.

This caused the people around her to turn around and look at her embarrassed appearance. In an instant, all the reputation and face that Zhang Yingying had accumulated in the circle of noble ladies for decades were instantly ruined by this embarrassing scene!

"You...you..." Zhang Yingying blushed, not caring about the eyes of the people around her or the dirty and messy dress.

She covered her face with her sleeves, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed and angrily accused, "Situ Qingming, Qin Xue, you... you've gone too far! Don't think you can get away with it now. If Mo Yunsheng fails the written test, you'll be in big trouble!"

Zhang Yingying finished speaking, crying as she ran back. Su Yingxue watched her retreating figure, suddenly lost in thought. The written test results were still being tallied, so how did Zhang Yingying know that Mo Yunsheng would barely fail?

"I am Jiu Xiangshi (an old acquaintance), Miss Qin Xue." The man in green stood beside her and said coldly, interrupting her thoughts.

The moment Su Yingxue turned around, she discovered that the man in green, although his face was extremely ordinary, his eyes were staring at her intently and never left her.

His voice was indifferent and distant, and his eyes were burning. For some reason, Su Yingxue always felt a sense of déjà vu, but Su Yingxue did not remember recognizing his face.

What was even more strange was that when Su Yingxue looked at his face, the teleprompter was blank and the introduction was also blank. The scholar in blue was just like his introduction, so cold and mysterious.

"Mr. Jiu, thank you for your help." Su Yingxue suppressed the urge to explore and said with a smile as she looked at the man in green in front of her.

"Master Jiu, I don't know how to repay you for saving me. If you don't mind, I will consider it as Qin Xue's debt to you. If you need Qin Xue's help in the future, I will definitely help you."

Qin Xue originally thought that the talented men in ancient times who rescued others out of righteousness were all generous people who did good without repaying any favor, so she just said a few polite words. Unexpectedly, she heard him say calmly, "That's fine."

It turns out that doing good without expecting anything in return is a lie in books and stories.

After the scholar in green finished speaking, he stood in front of her and refused to leave. Qin Xue saw that he was not leaving, so she didn't want to leave either, as it seemed extremely impolite.

"Mr. Jiu, are you one of the members participating in this plum blossom viewing banquet?" Qin Xue couldn't help but ask when she saw that he had been sitting at the last seat.

"Not really." Jiu Xiangshi looked coldly at the woman in front of him. She must have slept well last night, and she looked better. It seemed that the aphrodisiac he used to detoxify her last night had some effect.

Jiu Xiangshi stood in front of her coldly. Su Yingxue's dressing style these days was too abnormal. She wore snow-white clothes and a brocade jacket, looking too simple and plain, completely different from her favorite look in the past.

Su Yingxue has been the eldest princess who has lived a life of luxury in the palace since she was a child. Her dresses and robes are all made of luxurious materials such as floating brocade that is worth every inch of gold.

She also loves colorful colors and all kinds of bright and vivid complex patterns, so she always looks like the brightest and most colorful poppy in the garden, the more beautiful it is, the more poisonous it is.

And now Su Yingxue is indeed plain and simple, which matches Mo Yunsheng's white clothes so well...

Seeing this, Jiu Xiangshi's eyes couldn't help but become even colder...
