Chapter 283 Do You Want Me to Kneel Down to Her?
Duke Yang's face at this moment looked as if he had swallowed a fly, it was so ugly.
Yang Manman, who was standing next to him, was not in a much better condition. She glared at Jiang Suining and suddenly said the next moment.
"I understand! You already knew about this matter yesterday, so you are so fearless!"
No wonder she wasn't afraid at all when I threatened Jiang Suining yesterday. It turned out that she had already come up with a plan to deal with it. She is really scheming!
"Ms. Yang's choice of words is really strange. I clearly gave you a kind reminder yesterday. It's just a pity that Miss Yang didn't believe my sincere words, and..."
Jiang Suining smiled helplessly and turned his gaze to Duke Yang.
"I don't know what Miss Yang said in front of the Duke, but I definitely didn't say anything to humiliate or discredit the Duke's Mansion yesterday. If the Duke doesn't believe it, there were other people present yesterday, and the Duke can ask them for confirmation."
Among the crowd, the merchants who were there yesterday came to their senses from their surprise at the content of the notice, and upon hearing this, they quickly spoke up to testify.
"That's right, Lord Duke. I can testify that Miss Jiang did give a kind reminder yesterday."
"I can also testify that Miss Jiang definitely did not say anything insulting to the Duke's Mansion. Instead, Miss Yang pressed on and threatened Miss Jiang for some unknown reason."
"Yes, I can testify to that!"
A few people just thought that Jiang Suining's business would definitely not be successful, but they never expected that even the emperor would speak and post a notice.
No matter how powerful the Duke is, if he dares to trip up the Emperor again, he would be disobeying his will!
Miss Jiang is really capable!
Therefore, at this moment, one, two, three people began to testify for Jiang Suining.
Duke Yang never thought that Jiang Suining would actually get the emperor's order. Feeling everyone's gazes, he felt annoyed and embarrassed.
"Father, don't listen to their nonsense. They and..."
Yang Manman wanted to make a few more arguments, but Duke Yang turned around and slapped her in the face before she could finish her words.
"You are talking to a rebellious girl, and you still have the nerve to say that!"
Yang Manman felt dizzy after being slapped in the face. After she recovered, she covered her face and looked at Duke Yang angrily.
He beat her again, he beat her again, and in front of so many people!
"Father, you..."
"Shut up! I listened to your lies and thought Miss Jiang was so arrogant that she insulted the Duke's Mansion wantonly, so I came out to warn her. But now it seems that you are the one who spread the rumors. Where do you think you are doing to the Duke's Mansion and your father?"
Duke Yang was filled with rage. After severely scolding Yang Manman, he turned to look at Jiang Suining.
"Miss Jiang, I'm really sorry. I was confused for a moment and believed what Manman said, so I warned you. But I didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who bullies others by taking advantage of my power. Since I made a mistake, I will definitely not make things difficult for you in the future."
Damn it, it’s better not to spread what happened today. Although he hasn’t done anything yet, it will be of no benefit to the Duke’s Mansion if it gets to the ears of the Emperor.
"Your Excellency, the Duke is too kind. Since you have also been deceived by lies, it is better to clarify it. I believe that Your Excellency is a fair person and will never take advantage of his status to oppress the people."
These words sounded like understanding and praise, but Duke Yang had just put on the airs of the Duke's Mansion to put pressure on others, so it sounded a bit ironic no matter how you listened to it now.
But Duke Yang could only pretend not to hear any hidden meaning and said, "Of course."
"But..." Jiang Suining frowned and stretched out his tone slightly, "It is precisely because the Duke is a fair person that it would not be appropriate to end this matter like this."
"So what do you mean?" Duke Yang looked at Jiang Suining. Did the other party want to take the opportunity to extort money from the Duke's Mansion and make some excessive demands?
"Don't worry, Duke. I am not someone who doesn't know my limits. Since it is just a misunderstanding, I will not pursue it. But Miss Yang first ridiculed and threatened me, and then distorted the facts and slandered me at will. If you don't give me an explanation..."
Jiang Suining shook his head and sighed.
"Although I am of low status and cannot compare to Miss Yang, I still feel very upset."
"Jiang Suining, what do you mean!" Yang Manman glared at Jiang Suining.
The latter met her gaze and said, "My request is not high. I just hope that Miss Yang can apologize to me, and this matter will be over."
"You're dreaming. Who are you and why should I apologize to you?" Yang Manman spoke immediately.
Duke Yang was relieved when he heard that Jiang Suining only asked for an apology.
"Manman, apologize!"
“Father!” Yang Manman looked at Duke Yang in surprise, “How could you ask me to apologize to her? I…”
"I asked you to apologize!" Duke Yang looked at Yang Manman coldly, his eyes full of displeasure.
It's just an apology, what's the big deal? And in this situation, if he doesn't apologize, who knows how the people in the imperial city will talk about the Duke's Mansion and poke holes in his spine.
Yang Manman felt angry and frightened by the look in her father's eyes. She bit her lip and wanted to argue a few more times.
"Father, I am your daughter. If I..."
"Because you are my daughter, you must apologize when you do something wrong. Have you forgotten everything I taught you?"
Duke Yang acted like a fair and strict father and warned sternly.
"If you don't apologize, don't blame your father for punishing you!"
When she heard the word "family discipline", the wounds that Yang Manman had received from being beaten before seemed to hurt again.
She gritted her teeth and under the pressure of Duke Yang's gaze, she finally turned to Jiang Suining.
"I apologize, I'm sorry, okay!"
"Ms. Yang's attitude of apology is too arrogant." Shen Yanxi said coldly.
"What else do you want me to do? Do you want me to kneel down for her?" Yang Manman yelled at Shen Yanxi.
"That's a good idea." Shen Yanxi nodded in agreement and said, "If you kneel down and apologize, it can show your sincerity."
"This is simply a foolish dream. With her identity, how could I possibly..."
"I am a petty person and I cannot bear to see others bullying my fiancée like this. In addition to the incident in the west of the city, I had already made up my mind to go to the emperor to complain about the Duke's Mansion."
Duke Yang's eyebrows twitched.
Shen Yanxi glanced at Jiang Suining and continued speaking with a helpless look.
"But Sui Ning is kindhearted and doesn't want to argue with others, so I can only respect her thoughts and let Miss Yang apologize. But if even the apology is so condescending and lacks sincerity... I'm afraid this matter can only be decided by His Majesty."
