Chapter 234: Retaliation is inevitable
Being ruthlessly accused in person by Jiang Lige, the walls that Jiang Boxuan had erected in his heart finally collapsed. His thin body trembled slightly, and his face was pale as he said the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"I'm no longer the Crown Prince of Nanchu. Who am I to say no? And what right do I have to refuse?"
"You finally said this from the heart." The anger on Jiang Lige's face also subsided a little. She sighed softly, and then said earnestly: "I know that for you, the past and the present are a world of difference, both in status and treatment. But Bo Hyun, not everyone is born with a high and noble status, but later on, they can still stand at the top of the world and look down on everyone else. Do you know why?"
Perhaps because he had been suppressed for too long, after Jiang Boxuan shouted that sentence, he actually felt a lot more relaxed all over and his thoughts began to return.
"Because they are good enough?"
Jiang Lige didn't deny it and nodded, "It's not just that they're excellent, but they never feel sorry for themselves. You may not be able to decide where you are in life, but you can decide how to face it. If you face everything as a loser, then you won't succeed."
When Jiang Boxuan heard this, he belatedly realized the deep meaning of Jiang Lige's words today.
Suddenly, she was filled with shame. After mumbling "Sister," she said solemnly, "I'll remember. I won't do this again in the future."
After receiving Jiang Boxuan's assurance, Jiang Lige softened his tone, gently hugged Jiang Boxuan, and said softly: "Boxuan, you must remember, whether you are the emperor in Nanchu or a hostage in Shengling, you are the legitimate prince of Nanchu's Central Palace, representing the entire Nanchu. There is nothing shameful about being a hostage. Hold your head up high, hold your head high and stand tall, be upright, and be self-reliant. You must be self-reliant so as not to be looked down upon. Do you understand?"
Jiang Boxuan nodded heavily, "Sister, I understand."
The brother and sister resolved their worries, and Ning Yunxiao also sent someone to inform them that the cause and effect of the matter had been investigated clearly, and asked them to go over and listen to the handling of the matter.
Jiang Lige gently took out a handkerchief and wiped Jiang Boxuan's face, and then took Jiang Boxuan to the Bird Garden.
In the main hall of Bainiao Garden, Ning Yunxiao sat upright in the seat of honor. He stretched out his long legs and stepped hard on the finger bones of the person on the ground.
The people on the ground screamed miserably, but he seemed not to hear them. His eyes drooped, his long eyebrows drew into his temples, and his thin lips became even colder.
The sarcasm on his lips couldn't be more obvious. "When you bully others, you probably never thought that you would be bullied yourself, right? You messed with me, and you still expect to be kind? You're dreaming."
As soon as Ning Yunxiao finished speaking, the moment he saw the person coming in from outside the door, his coldness disappeared.
Then, his brows relaxed and he waved gently at Jiang Lige, "Ali, come here."
Jiang Lige did not stop upon hearing this, and walked in with Jiang Boxuan one after the other. Her beautiful eyes swept coldly over the person struggling on the ground, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Your Highness, thank you for your trouble."
"Punishing evil and promoting good is our duty," Ning Yunxiao continued, explaining the whole story to Jiang Lige. "These guys are all from the Wang family. There's been a lot of unpleasantness between the Wang family and Prince Zhao's residence lately, and these ignorant youngsters are blaming us for the damage. Unable to find any harm in us, and seeing that Bo Xuan is quiet, they've plotted against him."
Jiang Lige chuckled and raised an eyebrow when he heard this, "The Wang family is so brave!"
Ning Yunxiao naturally understood Jiang Lige's hidden agenda and said calmly, "I have given the Wang family too many chances. Since they didn't know how to cherish them, I can't blame anyone else. I have just drafted a memorial to report to His Majesty that the Wang family has committed numerous evil deeds and attempted to undermine diplomatic relations between the two countries. According to the law, the entire family should be implicated."
A few light words decided the life and death of the entire Wang family. All the Wang family members present were terrified and wanted to beg for mercy, but their mouths were blocked and they were tied up like dumplings, without any freedom at all.
I can only be slaughtered like meat on a chopping board.
After dealing with the Wang family, Ning Yunxiao and Jiang Lige were too lazy to care about these dying people. They took Jiang Boxuan out of the Bird Garden and prepared to return to the palace.
After all, the affairs of the palace are far more important than these people.
As soon as the group left the Imperial College, they met the Gu family.
After all, the Gu family had put in a lot of effort in finding Jiang Boxuan today. Therefore, Ning Yunxiao's expression became much better when he saw the Gu family again. He nodded and said, "Thank you all for your help today. I would like to thank you all."
Although Ning Yunxiao still hadn't changed his tune, everyone in the Gu family was very satisfied to notice his change in attitude. Old Master Gu even quickly expressed his opinion on behalf of the entire family: "We're all family, and this is what we should do."
Ning Yunxiao just nodded without responding, and the situation suddenly became awkward.
Seeing this, Jiang Lige said with a joking smile: "Grand Master is right. Since we are family, don't forget to take care of my Bo Xuan in the future."
Jiang Lige's repeated attempts to save the situation were witnessed by the Gu family, who smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Princess. Wang Yu and His Highness Bo Xuan are of similar age and study in the same academy. They will definitely interact more often in the future."
"Thank you very much."
After Jiang Lige finished speaking, Ning Yunxiao looked like she was in a hurry to leave. Seeing this, Old Lady Gu immediately took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Then in a few days, if Xiao'er is free, bring Princess Zhaohua home for dinner. Grandma will prepare chestnut cakes for you."
He spoke with extreme caution, as if he was afraid of displeasing Ning Yunxiao in some way. Jiang Lige felt a pang of sadness when he saw his humble demeanor.
Ning Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, but Jiang Lige gently tugged at Ning Yunxiao's sleeve, saying coquettishly, "Your Highness~"
"Okay." Ning Yunxiao finally nodded and agreed, "We will definitely come and bother you after we finish our official duties."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gu nodded happily, "Okay, okay! Grandma is waiting for you."
After the two sides agreed on this matter, they said goodbye politely and left.
Jiang Lige and Ning Yunxiao got on the carriage and drove towards the imperial city.
The carriage sped out of the Imperial College. The shouts of the downtown area and the sounds of cheerful gongs and drums were heard one after another. Jiang Lige lifted the curtain to see the excitement, but he never expected to meet a pair of familiar eyes.
It’s Ning Luyang.
Ning Luyang was wearing a bright red wedding dress and riding on a tall horse, but there was no joy on his face. The moment he saw Jiang Lige, he was stunned and couldn't help but call out.
"Ali."
Jiang Lige was stunned when he heard the voice, and before he could react, he was dragged away from the window by a hand.
Then, Ning Yunxiao's face, which was so cold that it was almost frozen, came closer.
