When Xiao Jialan heard the word treason, her eyes changed slightly, she stared at Zhou Jingyi, and sneered: "Qin Beichen and I resolved the conflict between Nanyue and Beichen, so that the two countries could shake hands and make peace. From then on, there will be peace and no war in the world. It turns out that this is
In Miss Zhou's eyes, this was an act of treason.
Could it be that you want Nanyue and Beichen to continue fighting, so that more soldiers will shed blood on the battlefield and more people will be displaced, so as to enhance the reputation of your general's mansion?
As a young lady from the General's Office, she is so disrespectful and disrespectful by relying on her family's power that she actually wants to start a war between the two countries. Could it be that your General's Office wants to rebel?"
Zhou Jingyi wanted to convict her of treason, so she would convict the Zhou family of rebellion.
Let’s see who can outsmart whom?
"You...don't talk nonsense. Our Zhou family is sincere to His Majesty, and the world can learn from it."
Zhou Jingyi was eager to excuse the Zhou family, but just now she was angry and spoke too harshly, who made her dislike Xiao Jialan.
I just didn't expect that Xiao Jialan, who had always swallowed his anger, would become so eloquent.
Yes, today is different from the past. Xiao Jialan is now the most noble princess of Nanyue, not the princess of the Wei Palace who everyone can bully in the past.
Xiao Jialan snorted and said: "I didn't see the sincerity of your general's office. I only saw that you, Miss Zhou, are arrogant. You don't even take this princess seriously. Those who don't know think you are the princess of Nanyue."
Zhou Jingyi held her hands and looked a little ugly. She saw many people around her pointing fingers. She could not let the General's Mansion fall into injustice just because of her temporary anger.
Otherwise her father will beat her to death.
After Zhou Jingyi weighed the situation, she suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was rude and said the wrong thing."
Xiao Jialan was a little surprised when she knelt down. Among the noble ladies in the capital, the one who hated her the most was Zhou Jingyi. Her kneeling down today was not really to admit her mistake, but just for the good reputation of the General's Mansion.
Xiao Jialan raised her eyebrows and said: "Today, Miss Zhou contradicted me in public. If I just ignored her so easily, where would the majesty of my Xiao family be?
But considering that Miss Zhou is sincere in admitting her mistake, I will not punish you severely, so I will slap you ten times so that you will remember it for a long time."
Zhou Jingyi raised her head sharply when she heard this, looked at Xiao Jialan and said, "Don't bully others too much."
As a young lady from the general's palace, if she was slapped ten times today, wouldn't she become the laughing stock of the whole capital?
What Xiao Jialan hit was not her face, but the face of their general's mansion.
Xiao Jialan said: "What? Could it be that you didn't admit your mistake just now because you were sincere?
Do you think that as long as you admit your mistake, you will not be punished? Then if you kill someone, will you be able to avoid death as long as you admit your mistake?"
Zhou Jingyi glared at Xiao Jialan fiercely and said, "Xiao Jialan, don't regret it!"
"Xiao Ce, slap me!"
Xiao Jialan went out without a maid, only with guards, so she left it to Xiao Ce to handle it.
Mu Rufeng felt that Xiao Jialan's move was inappropriate. After all, Zhou Jingyi was the young lady of the General's Mansion. Even Xiao Chongjun had to give the General's Mansion some respect. If Zhou Jingyi was really beaten today, the General's Mansion would not let it go.
He was about to open his mouth to persuade, but was stopped by Ye Jinming, who then shook his head at him and signaled him not to interfere.
Xiao Ce came over, looked at Zhou Jingyi who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Miss Zhou, I'm offended!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and just as he was about to lower it, he heard a yell: "Stop."
Chu Heng, who was hiding in the teahouse, came out. He glanced at Zhou Jingyi and then said to Xiao Jialan: "Jialan, no matter what, she is the apple of General Zhou's eye. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to punish her in front of so many people."
Okay, or forget it."
Xiao Jialan glanced at him: "Forget it? If we just forget it, doesn't it mean that this princess is afraid of her?"
