"Ban Hua, don't think I dare not touch you."

Kanging turned to look at Li Xiaoru: "Miss Li, you can also see what happened. You can be fair, who is bullying whom?!" 

"I, I..." Li Xiaoru peeped at Ban Hua carefully and remembered when Ban Hua had ridiculed just now. Li Xiaoru's body shook softly and she fell gently on the grass, her eyes closed. Even coincidentally, she avoided two stones and fell on the thick grass. Jiang Yuchen laughed when he saw this.

She fainted in such a timely manner to tell Junzhu Kangning clearly that she was afraid of Ban Hua and did not dare to mess with her again.

"Ban Hua, don't think I dare not touch you."

"I'm so scared!" She mocked Kangning. "Why did you stop calling me Ban Junjun, can't pretend to be courteous now?" Ban Hua rolled her eyes and further added." My family did not raise an 'honest gentleman' who slandered the elders behind their back, who can't even properly hold on to the position of the heir but pretended to be a gentleman who felt capital was  filthy . If it weren't for someone's mother crying and begging in front of my grandmother, could he keep his position as the heir? And now you yell at my brother."

Even though her brother is quite stupid, but he is after all her brother. Who is Kangning to yell like this? Who is she to yell at their family?

Even if the Ban family was going to fall, it would be five years from now, but not now!

"Yes, our family is all hypocrites. Unlike some people who claim to be beautiful, but have been divorced several times.  Who in the capital does not know that you can't get married? Let's see which promising man in the capital is ready to marry you."After Ban Hua hit Kangning's sore spot, Kangning started to speak up. "When your brother marries a bride will Jingting Houfu still have a place for someone as arrogant as you?"

"Only your brother can do this kind of thing, don't think that all men in the world are as hypocritical as your brother," Ban Heng countered, "My sister can be arrogant as much as she wants. Our whole family is willing to spoil her. What's it got to do with you? Besides my sister is way too beautiful, ten times more beautiful than you, it's useless for you to be envious!"

This Kangning was so vicious that she even provoked the relationship between him and his sister. Is he the kind of person who will forget about his sister because of a wife?

Kangning didn't expect that when she was arguing with Ban Hua, Ban Heng, a man, would intervene, and suddenly she was so shocked she even forgot to blink.

Is this the education of Jingting Hou Fu?

Is this the demeanor of Jingting Houfu's heir?

"Ban Shizi, isn't it inappropriate for you to meddle  in trivial matters of women?" Jiang Yuchen frowned, looking a little troubled.

"What's inappropriate? Since I'm here, I won't let anyone bully my sister. Why would I care if you are a man or a woman?." Ban Heng snorted. He didn't have a good reputation anyway, so it didn't matter if people said bad things.  Ban Heng was not afraid of embarrassment.

A big master watching his family being bullied, but still maintaining the so-called gentleman's demeanor, he believed it showed a fault in the person's way of thinking.

"Ban heir is really well-educated. He even insults the descendants of the royal family. And as a man, he is not even hesitant to bully weak women. It's really astonishing," Kang Ning said with a sneer. "Brother, a gentleman like you, don't concern yourself ..." She looked at Ban-Heng contemptuously. "Don't care about this kind of person."

"Gentleman?" Ban-Hua said without mercy, "What kind of a gentleman is he?  People like Cheng An never boast about themself, but who does not know that he is a gentleman in the whole capital? What kind of hypocrisy is this calling yourself a gentleman? Aren't you embarrassed? Only your family can be like this!"

"Hah!" Ban Heng scoffed, expressing his disdain for Hui-Wangfu's brother and sister with practical actions.

Obviously, the brothers and sisters of Hui-Wangfu were older than the siblings of Marquis Jingting Estate, and their thoughts were scheming. But at this moment, Rong Xia felt that the Hui-Wangfu's siblings had been crushed by the Ban's siblings.

Wang De, who accompanied Count Cheng An, saw that he stood beside them and did not continue to move forward. So,he also maintained a smiling face and stood behind Cheng An. As a eunuch by His Majesty, he really hadn't seen any noble lady quarreling like this... so straightforward.

Seeing that the siblings of Jingting Hou's Mansion didn't seem to suffer, he felt relieved. Junzhu Kangning and Junjun Ban are in the mind of His Majesty. Which is more important, I am afraid that no one in the entire Palace is unclear.

"You two are really bad people!" Kang Ning's eyes were red with anger, "Too much bullying !"

"You two, brothers and sister, rely on your high status to bully us, counting on your status, you even beat people up" ,Ban Hua couldn't believe it. Looking at Junzhu Kangning, she responded, "And you talk about reason?"

Reasonable?

Kanging turned to look at Li Xiaoru: "Miss Li, you can also see what happened. You can be fair, who is bullying whom?!" 

"I, I..." Li Xiaoru peeped at Ban Hua carefully and remembered when Ban Hua had ridiculed just now. Li Xiaoru's body shook softly and she fell gently on the grass, her eyes closed. Even coincidentally, she avoided two stones and fell on the thick grass. Jiang Yuchen laughed when he saw this.

She fainted in such a timely manner to tell Junzhu Kangning clearly that she was afraid of Ban Hua and did not dare to mess with her again.

At this time, Rong Xiao, who had been standing next to him for a while, was finally willing to speak up. He coughed and said to the guard behind him:  "Go and call two Mama to take Lady Li back to the camp for rest."

"Cheng An" "Jiang Yuchen looked at the man in front of him. Remembering that Ban Hua just had said he was not as good as Rong Xiao,  his complexion turned bad.  "Cheng, Cheng An," Kangning was puzzled for a moment. Collecting herself, she slowly greeted him.    Rong Xia returned the greeting to the two of them, turned to look at the Ban sister and brother, smiled, and said, "Jun Jun, Ban Shizi, what's the matter?"     Ban-Heng glanced at Rong Xia, remembering the embarrassment of being found by Rong-Xia a month ago when burying the silver, silently responded to him. 

"Cheng An," Ban Hua said to Rong Xia, "Why did you and Wang Gonggong come here ?" Wang De paid Ban Hua a salute, finally someone noticed him.   Rong Xia glanced at the Hui Wang Fu brother-sister, and took a step towards Ban Hua very naturally: "His Majesty heard some movement from here, so he let me come over and take a look."

"Cheng An, Ban Hua she..."    Rong Xiaoxiao looked at Kangning and interrupted her with a gentle expression: "Junzhu Kangning, Junjun Ban and Ban Shizi are the grandchildren of the grand princess. I am afraid your behavior is slightly inappropriate."   " I..." Kangning felt a panic in her heart. Had Cheng An watched her as she mocked Ban Hua just now?    Obviously, she was normally not like this, and she would not usually use such vulgar or rude words. This was all fault of Ban Hua and Ban Heng. If it wasn't because the siblings provoked her, how could she be so furious?    "The princess and heir are older than Junjun Ban, I wonder if they can give me face and let go of prejudices?" Rong Xia smiled more widely, "Just remember not to say anything like this in the future, you are all juniors that his majesty loves. If his Majesty heard these words, wouldn't it make him worry?"    Jiang Yuchen sneered in his heart when he heard the words. Although it seemed like Rong-Xia was just being polite, the words sheltered Jingting Houfu. This pair of sisters and brothers are after all junior whom the emperor loves. And they are just someone with royal identity.

Really a good dog of the emperor.

"Since Count Cheng An has said so, I and my sister are not reckless people. We will drop it." Jiang Yuchen said in a harsh tone, "I also hope that Junjun will also pay attention in the future." 

Standing next to Cheng An, Wang De raised his eyebrows, this Hui Wang Heir was really ignorant, it would be boring to say it again.   When Ban Hua heard this, she was naturally unhappy. When she was about to taunt back, Rong Xiao suddenly spoke first before her.
