Chapter 172 Women are petty
The woman on horseback also saw Jiang Suining. After seeing his face clearly, a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes for a moment, but then her eyes sank again.
She was already on horseback, so she raised her chin and spoke with a nonchalant look.
"I'm sorry, young lady. I was riding a little too fast just now, but since you're fine, let's just forget about it. Move the carriage to the side so it doesn't block our way."
In the carriage, Chu Jingyue, who was covering her arm, heard the familiar voice and looked outside. Her face suddenly darkened.
"Yang Manman! Why is it you?"
When Yang Manman, who was on horseback, saw Chu Jingyue, she was stunned for a moment, but then quickly came to her senses.
"Princess Chu, I didn't expect you to be here too."
"Yang Manman, is this imperial city a place where you can ride a horse as you please? You've caused this princess to get injured." Chu Jingyue frowned and spoke dissatisfiedly.
Yang Manman snorted, "Look at what you said. I haven't blamed you for blocking the road with your carriage."
"you……"
Chu Jingyue was just about to speak when the sound of horse hooves was heard again, and two men rode their horses behind Yang Manman.
"Manman, are you okay?" the man in blue asked with concern.
"I've already told you to call me Brother Yang. Why don't you learn your lesson? Manmanmanman, it sounds so effeminate. It's really dislikeable." Yang Manman glared at the man in blue with dissatisfaction, but there was more anger in her eyes.
"Okay, Brother Yang, can't we just call you Brother Yang? Why were you riding so fast just now? Is anything wrong?" The man in white on the side also asked with concern.
Jiang Suining didn't know these three people and looked at Chu Jingyue with a slightly puzzled look.
The latter frowned and said in a muffled voice: "Yang Manman, the third lady of Duke Yang's Mansion, the one in green is Li Zheng, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the other one is Bi Yingjie, the eldest son of the Minister of Justice's Mansion."
Just now, both of them had their attention on Yang Manman. They only noticed her when they heard Chu Jingyue speak. After being stunned for a moment, they quickly dismounted.
"Meet Princess Pinghu."
"Meet Princess Pinghu."
Chu Jingyue did not speak, but looked at Yang Manman, "You rode your horse carelessly and hit my carriage, and also caused me to be injured. Shouldn't you dismount and apologize?"
"Princess, didn't I just apologize to you? Why are you still so aggressive?"
"When will you give..."
"Alright, alright. I'll apologize to the princess again. I never like to argue with women."
Having said that, Yang Manman got off the horse, but did not salute like a woman. Instead, she clasped her fists like a man and spoke to Chu Jingyue in a very cheerful tone.
"Princess Chu, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that, and I didn't expect you to be so fragile. But since you're fine, don't make a fuss about it."
He said he was apologizing, but there was no apology in his words. After he finished speaking, he turned his head and winked at Li Zheng and Bi Yingjie playfully and helplessly, as if to say that Chu Jingyue was really troublesome.
Jiang Suining looked at Yang Manman and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Chu Jingyue was very angry at her attitude, "Yang Manman, does this look like an apology?"
"Princess, I've always been a bit reckless, you know that, why do you have to be so fussy about it." Yang Manman looked helpless and troubled, "As expected, women are petty, just like men, wouldn't it be better to be simple?"
Jiang Suining frowned slightly.
The other party is obviously also a woman, but his words are full of disdain for women. He thinks women are petty and men are cheerful. How can this make sense?
Seeing this, Li Zheng not only did not try to stop Yang Manman from speaking, but instead cupped his hands in defense and said, "Princess, please don't blame me. Manman is just like a man in character, she is straightforward. Although she lacks some manners, she definitely has no intention of being disrespectful. Please forgive her, Princess."
"Li Zheng, I told you it's Brother Yang, Brother Yang. How many times do I have to say it before you remember it?" Yang Manman punched Li Zheng in dissatisfaction, "I'll teach you a lesson!"
The punch was not heavy, and Jiang Suining could sense a hint of flirting.
In her previous life, although she had heard of the names of Duke Yang's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had never met them, nor had she heard that the two families had any plans to marry. Could it be that they were just keeping a low profile?
Seeing Li Zheng repeatedly responding and saying that he was wrong, Yang Manman snorted with satisfaction.
Glancing at Chu Jingyue, Yang Manman spoke again.
"Ah, I have the most headache dealing with women. We are better brothers. I will hit you once, but if it were a woman, I'm afraid she would not give up and ask me to apologize."
"Yang Manman, don't go too far!" Chu Jingyue suddenly became angry.
"Princess, please calm down. Man, no, Brother Yang really didn't mean it. Princess, please forgive her." Li Zheng hurriedly advised again.
"Yes, Princess, Brother Yang has always been cheerful and not fussy about trivial matters. Princess, please don't take it to heart." Bi Yingjie also said immediately.
Yang Manman listened to what the two said with a proud look in her eyes.
"You guys really understand me, you're worthy of being my good brothers. Fortunately, we usually play together, so I don't have to worry about offending you over a small matter."
Chu Jingyue was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said she was apologizing, but they kept blaming her, as if she was petty if she didn't forgive Yang Manman.
It would be fine if others couldn't see it, but as a woman, how could she not see it? Yang Manman clearly did it on purpose. She must teach her a lesson today!
"Yang Manman, you..."
Chu Jingyue was about to get angry, but Jiang Suining stopped her.
"Princess." Jiang Suining shook his head slightly at her. In this situation, the more angry Jingyue became, the easier it would be for the other party to use this to prove that what she said was right.
Jiang Suining smiled and looked at Yang Manman, "Miss Yang?"
"Who are you?" Yang Manman raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that Princess Chu insisted on asking you to apologize. She is not being petty, but is sincerely considering you."
When Jiang Suining said this, not only Yang Manman, but even Chu Jingyue was a little stunned.
After coming to her senses, Yang Manman frowned in disdain, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Jiang Suining continued to speak without changing his smile.
"Miss Yang rode her horse in the street and injured someone, whether it was intentional or not, this is a fact. According to the third volume and fourth article of the Beiyang Kingdom Law, anyone riding a horse in a busy city and injuring someone shall be caned 20 times. If the injured person forgives, he can be redeemed with money. If Princess Chu really wants to make a fuss, why should she ask you to apologize? Turn around and go to the government office immediately, then Miss Yang will not be able to avoid the 20 canes."
