Jiang Xuecheng's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it echoed in the quiet banquet hall like a bolt of thunder!
The onlookers shuddered, they exchanged glances with each other, and all had some indescribable feelings in their hearts.
Does this mean that there is no way this can be resolved peacefully?!
The prince actually wanted to go toe-to-toe with the Defei family just for a commoner girl?!
Previously, the Emperor's son had broken the ribs of Keller, the most famous idiot of the DeFei family, for Su Wan, and now he has to add a new debt? !
Everyone looked at Ye Hanwen, the current head of the Defei family, and couldn't help but cast a sympathetic look at him.
In recent years, the DeFei family is not as prosperous as the Siswell family. Instead, it has been on a downward slope and has shown signs of weakness among the four major families.
No wonder the Emperor would dare to target them for a woman.
But everyone present was actually wrong.
Jiang Xuecheng was like this not because the Defei family was in decline, he just couldn't bear to see his woman being bullied by others.
If there is anyone in this world who can bully Su Wan, it must be himself. Jiang Xuecheng is now reluctant to bully Su Wan and wishes he could treat her like a priceless treasure.
If not for this, Jiang Xuecheng would not have directly fallen out with the high priest!
He doesn't even take the high priest seriously, let alone the declining Defei family!
…
When Ye Hanwen, the head of the Defei family, heard Jiang Xuecheng's words, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
Ye Hanwen had grown to this age and was pampered wherever he went, but he was actually asked to apologize on the spot by a young man who was a generation younger than him!
When the prince had not yet taken office, Ye Hanwen had some complaints about the high priest's decision.
Now, first his son was beaten and seriously injured and lying in the hospital, and then this kind of thing happened. It would be a miracle if he could have any good feelings towards Jiang Xuecheng!
If Jiang Xuecheng had not been in a high position and was not so superior to them, Ye Hanwen would have vented his anger on him long ago!
Unfortunately not!
Ye Hanwen raised his head awkwardly and gave Jiang Xuecheng an earnest look.
"Your Highness, my wife is so anxious because she lost something, otherwise she wouldn't have misunderstood Miss Su. Do you think we can just let it go..."
Asking him to apologize to a lowly commoner woman is out of the question, not to mention the door, there is no window!
Make a big thing small, make a small thing nothing, and just let it go
Jiang Xuecheng saw Ye Hanwen's hypocritical and impatient expression, and suddenly slapped the table next to him coldly!
He struck so hard that a crack appeared on the solid wood table without anyone noticing.
The people present were so frightened that they trembled violently!
Jiang Xuecheng didn't say anything, but the intimidation in his words was beyond words.
Ye Hanwen glanced at the cracked table, and a vein on his forehead popped out.
This newly-appointed prince really showed him no mercy at all!
Ye Hanwen glared at Mrs. Ye fiercely, with a look of strong disgust.
It's all this useless woman's fault. Not only does she spoil her son to be ignorant, but today she even came to Su Wan to embarrass herself. She really embarrassed him as well!
"You are such a disgrace, why don't you apologize to Miss Su!"
Although Su Wan didn't like Mrs. Ye, she felt very uncomfortable seeing Ye Hanwen scolding her woman like that.
Could it be that these noble couples have no affection for each other at all
Su Wan frowned, feeling a little confused.
Mrs. Ye had a wronged look on her face, and she pulled her face towards Su Wan very reluctantly, humming a few times like a mosquito.
"I'm sorry Miss Su."
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Mrs. Ye's weak and insincere apology, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
His obsidian eyes were fixed on Madam Ye, as if they were covered with a layer of frost and snow.
"Where did you have the energy to yell earlier? I was standing much closer to Su Wan, and I could hardly hear anything."
Madam Ye's face flushed instantly. She didn't expect that the prince would defend Su Wan in this way, and even tried to figure out the sincerity of his apology!
Mrs. Ye had no choice but to suppress her anger and cried and apologized to Su Wan again.
"Ms. Su, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have wrongly accused you of stealing my ruby earrings."
Su Wan had no intention of listening to Mrs. Ye's apology at the moment. She nodded nonchalantly, as a sign of approval.
When Ye Wenhan, who was standing next to him, saw Su Wan nod, he immediately felt relieved. He no longer cared about anything else and directly dragged Mrs. Ye out.
She was cursing as she left, and Su Wan vaguely heard her saying that Madam Ye had brought shame to their family.
Really…
After all, they have been married for decades, is it necessary for him to scold his wife in public? !
At first glance, they look like a pair of resentful couples...
Su Wan suddenly understood why the DeFei family would raise a playboy like Master Keller who was uneducated and unlearned. Perhaps the parents did not teach their child anything carefully
I hope that she and Jiang Xuecheng can always have such a deep relationship in the future, and not become such a couple of resentment that are incompatible in appearance but not in spirit.
Su Wan raised her eyes to look at Jiang Xuecheng's face, and silently held her hand tighter with Jiang Xuecheng's.
It seemed that in this way she could absorb the warmth from Jiang Xuecheng's palm, and her heart would be at peace.
…
When Diya saw Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng's intertwined hands, she was so angry that she dug her nails into her palms, and her clear amber eyes turned red.
She has never held the hand of the emperor's son. Why on earth is this disgusting vixen so favored? !
Moreover, the prince is so spoiled to her!
He even went so far as to offend the Defei family for Su Wan!
The more Diya thought about it, the more she couldn't stand it. She no longer cared about her brother's warning and rushed forward to question Jiang Xuecheng.
"Your Highness, don't you know that the high priest will announce our marriage today?"
Tia sniffed in grievance, with an expression of indescribable grievance, and her amber eyes were filled with
"I am your legitimate fiancée, why are you using an insignificant woman to slap me in the face?!"
The people around him felt sympathetic, except Jiang Xuecheng, who looked calm.
He looked at Tia indifferently, his expression as calm as a lake.
"I never said I wanted to marry you, and you are not my fiancée. Su Wan is the only woman I want to marry."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Before everyone could react, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly knelt on one knee and kissed Su Wan's hand sincerely.
"Wanwan, will you marry me?"
In the divine court, this is the highest courtesy a man can show to a woman.
It symbolizes that a man is willing to protect a girl for life like a knight.
When everyone saw this scene, their heads were buzzing!
What is going on? !
