As for Su Jia Cheng, he regretted it so much he wished he could immediately find a crack on the ground that he could dive into.

He had lived for so many years, and within the Dragon War Empire, he’d always held a pivotal position. This was the first time that he was talked down by someone until his face and ears turned red.

Even if he didn’t know what kind of good luck that vile spawn had to make Grandmaster take a fancy to her.

He now only hoped that everyone’s attention could be continuously centered around that vile spawn, and that what had happened just now wouldn’t be brought up again.

Unfortunately, Helian Mei’s fierce and unruly nature had been well developed since very early on. She charged to arrive in front of Wei Wei and shouted herself hoarse, “You did it on purpose! You purposefully made a fool of me and Second Sister!”

“Oh?” Wei Wei raised her eyebrow and smiled, “From beginning to end, it was Third Sister and Second Sister who were making false charges against me. How did it become me purposefully making a fool you guys?”

Being looked down upon made Helian Mei completely lost her senses, “From beginning to end you were totally pretending, you…..”

“Shut up!” Su Jia Cheng strong-handedly dragged Helian Mei back, immediately pushed away the guard following behind, and fiercely glared at her while secretly scolding her. Once this girl got upset, she was no longer able to analyze the situation. Couldn’t she learn even half of Jiao Er’s thoughtful bearing! From now on, having this situation go away by sleight of hand will be difficult…..

Wei Wei didn’t need to think to know what he was planning, wanting to have the matter settled by leaving it unsettled? In this world, where would one find such a convenient thing!

“Allegedly, Su Jia Cheng has always been known to be righteous and just. Now that your two granddaughters have accused me wrongly and insulted me like this, don’t know how Su Prime Minister will handle this?”

Wei Wei unhurriedly obstructed the minister’s guard who was going to take Helian Mei away, then indolently and leisurely stood on the path, making anyone who wanted to leave unable to do so.

The teachers didn’t speak again. Even Tusu Feng and Grandmaster’s manner was also calm and quiet. However, their gazes were thoroughly fixed on Su Jia Cheng’s body, creating an oppression difficult to describe with words.

Su Jia Cheng knew that he couldn’t continue to feign ignorance. In his heart he wished he could take this little vile spawn and skin her.

One sentence from this vile spawn and he was pushed into the most violent area of the storm.

As it was, if he didn’t really pay with something, he’s afraid even his reputation would also suffer damage.

He was a minister at court, and what’s most damaging for a minister was to lose prestige.

He didn’t know how Wei Wei was capable of grabbing onto this point to start the discussion. However, Su Jia Cheng understood. This time, even if he was unwilling, in front of everybody, he still needed to put on an act.

Thinking about how he’d been at court for so many years, yet unexpectedly was forced to this extent by a little vile spawn, Su Jia Cheng bit at the thin flesh at his lip. Nevertheless, the expression on his face didn’t change as he considered all options.

With a deep voice he said, “Jiao Er, Little Mei, Grandpa knows you guys didn’t really plan to frame your eldest sister. However, you guys are stubborn by nature and simply didn’t consider how serious this matter is, therefore you spoke irresponsibly, making your oldest sister feel wronged. If Grandpa didn’t give Wei Wei a response today, I will go against human convention in regards to both public sentiment as well as proprietary…..since it was the mouth that made a mistake, then use your own palm to give yourself twenty slaps and properly admit your mistake!”
