The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 173 Yang Manman apologizes

Yang Manman's face changed. She didn't expect that the other party would use the law to pressure her.

"Who knows if there is such a provision in the law? Maybe you made it up!"

"Since this Mr. Bi is the son of the Minister of Justice, he should be very familiar with the law." Jiang Suining turned his gaze to Bi Yingjie, "Miss Yang, why don't you ask him?"

Bi Yingjie was stunned. Although his father was the Minister of Justice, he had not yet entered the officialdom. The criminal law was so complicated, how could he remember it?

Seeing that several people were looking at him, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know who this woman in front of him was and why she was so familiar with the law.

"If Mr. Bi doesn't remember, that's fine. Why don't we go to the government office together to verify the truth? When we get there, we can just give him the twenty canes. Miss Yang and Princess Chu will both be even." Jiang Suining looked at Yang Manman with a smile, "What do you think, Miss Yang?"

Yang Manman frowned even more tightly and couldn't help but look at Chu Jingyue, "I, I didn't ride my horse to hurt anyone, and she doesn't look like she's injured at all!"

Jiang Suining gave Chu Jingyue a look, and the latter understood and immediately covered his arm with a look of pain.

"Who said he wasn't injured? It's because of you that I, the princess, bumped into the carriage and my arm hurts so much now. Not only do I have to go to the government office, but I will also have to send someone to invite my father over. If he's injured, twenty strokes of the cane won't be enough!"

"You..." Yang Manman choked, but still said stubbornly, "I think you are just pretending!"

"As I said, we'll know if it's true or not after we go to the government office and check it out."

Jiang Suining looked at Chu Jingyue, "It may not be enough for the princess to invite the prince. It would be better to send someone to invite Miss Yang's father, the Duke, to come together. The two families can talk things out face to face, and then give the ones who deserve the punishment a beating. This way, there will be no resentment left."

"You're right." Chu Jingyue looked at Yang Manman and snorted coldly, "It's a good opportunity to invite the Duke over so that he can see his beautiful daughter. Also, it will prevent some people from distorting the facts and saying that the Chu Palace is bullying people."

Jiang Suining suppressed his laughter, and looked past Yang Manman to Li Zheng and Bi Yingjie beside her, "I'd like to trouble you two to be witnesses. By the way..."

Jiang Suining's smile deepened, and his tone was full of trust.

"Although I don't know Miss Yang, since everyone says you have a straightforward personality, then after arriving at the government office, you would deny that you rode your horse into the carriage. This is such a shameless denial. Someone as upright as Miss Yang would definitely not do it."

Yang Manman's face turned completely ugly, and she glared at Jiang Suining angrily.

But the latter pointed out innocently, "Miss Yang, why are you looking at me so angrily? Did I say something wrong? You are straightforward and frank, so you certainly won't be as petty as a little girl. Don't be angry with me."

Although his expression and behavior are obviously coquettish, his words are always derogatory to women. If he is really straightforward and blunt, then it's fine. At most, we have different opinions and we can just ignore him.

But looking at the look on Miss Yang's face, I'm afraid she wants to elevate and highlight herself by belittling other women, so that others, especially men, will think that she is unconventional and different, and thus gain a sense of superiority among women.

Yang Manman was choked again, and was blocked by what she had just said. Her face was full of excitement.

Chu Jingyue, who was originally covering her arm and pretending to be in pain, almost couldn't hold back her laughter, and she gritted her teeth to hold back her smile.

"What exactly do you want?" Yang Manman frowned.

"The princess is very generous. What she wants at the beginning is naturally a sincere apology. However, if Miss Yang is unwilling to apologize, then it depends on how the princess wants to deal with it."

Chu Jingyue frowned, "Of course I have to go to the government office. After all, I didn't feel the sincerity of Miss Yang's apology just now."

"You..." Yang Manman was speechless.

"Manman." Li Zheng frowned and looked at Yang Manman worriedly, "Why don't you apologize to Princess Chu."

"Yes, if we go to the government office, it will be difficult to explain to the Duke." Bi Yingjie also tried to persuade.

This time, Yang Manman didn't bother to correct the address.

Although she was very reluctant in her heart, she was not sure whether Chu Jingyue would really make a big deal out of it. She gritted her teeth and pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Forget it. I never bother with women. If you want to apologize, then apologize."

"It's a sincere apology." Chu Jingyue added, "If it's perfunctory, it won't be worth twenty strokes of the cane."

Yang Manman stared at Chu Jingyue, clasped her hands and said, "I'm sorry, Princess Chu, I didn't mean it. Let's just put this matter behind us and forget our grudges with a smile!"

"That's not sincere enough." Chu Jingyue looked at the other party, "Miss Yang, even if you are wearing men's clothes, you are still a woman after all. Are you going to be so perfunctory in your etiquette?"

Yang Manman gritted her teeth, and after a moment, she bowed her head and said, "Princess Chu, I'm sorry. I just bumped into you carelessly. Please forgive me, Princess Chu."

"So you can perform women's etiquette. I thought you could only bow and clasp your hands like men." Chu Jingyue sneered.

"Chu Jingyue, don't go too far!"

"Miss Yang, Princess Chu was just joking. Why do you have to be so angry?" Jiang Suining said with a smile.

"That's right." Chu Jingyue snorted. "I don't think it's because women are petty, but it's just a personal character. After all, you've been called Brother Yang, but I don't see you being magnanimous."

Yang Manman was so angry that her face turned blue, but in this situation, the angrier she got, the more she got slapped in the face. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Humph, I don't want to bother with you. What's the point of arguing with you girls? It's a waste of time. Anyway, I've already apologized, and there's no way I'll go to the government office with you."

After that, he said to Li Zheng and the others, "Let's go!"

Looking at Yang Manman's deflated but stubborn look, Chu Jingyue laughed out loud after they left.

"Sui Ning, this is really too much fun. It's finally my turn to see Yang Manman get humiliated. You're really good. You defeated her with just a few words!"

"Have you two had any conflicts before?" Jiang Suining asked curiously.

"It's not really a holiday, but Yang Manman always flaunts her tomboyish personality every time we meet. She doesn't like to dress up, so she mocks other girls for spending all their time on makeup. She has also mocked my makeup and clothes several times, both openly and covertly."

Thinking of what happened before, Chu Jingyue felt angry.

"Every time I refute her, she pretends to be a man, just like she did just now, saying that she is just being straightforward, and that women should be simple like men, and not waste time on trivial matters like clothes and makeup, and not be jealous all day long and only care about beauty."

"She doesn't like to dress up?" Jiang Suining thought back to Yang Manman's face just now, shook his head and laughed, "I don't think so."
