The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Chapter 196 It’s talent show time

"You believe me?"

Hua Bei couldn't believe it, but when he heard Jiang Tunan say,

"I trust the evidence."

Hua Bei was silent for a long time, and finally uttered a few words in a hoarse voice,

"I understand. I will keep in mind what Miss Jiang said today."

Hua Bei struggled to stand up and turned to leave. Jiang Tunan suddenly spoke,

"Chunhua, go get him some food and give him some money."

Chunhua hesitated when she heard that. If she left, her young lady would be left here alone.

"It's okay, go ahead. He's half dead now, no one can hurt him."

Hua Bei: I feel offended.

Chunhua quickly brought food and provisions.

"Miss, I am afraid of arousing suspicion from others, so I only dare to take some buns."

Jiang Tunan handed the food to Hua Bei, who took it without hesitation and started eating.

"Look, look how hungry the child is."

Hua Bei: ...

"Are the children enough? If not, there are others. Are they enough, children?"

"Are you teasing the dog?"

Hua Bei spoke incoherently with his mouth full of food.

"Oh, by the way, if you want to look for Su Xiaoxiao, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. This amount of money should be enough for you to live for a few days."

Jiang Tunan threw a small bag into Hua Bei's arms.

"When you get to Kyoto, find a class to attend first. I mean, find a job to do first and support yourself first before you think about other things."

"That's it, farewell!"

Jiang Tunan clasped his fists and left, but then he seemed to think of something and turned around again.

"There is one more thing I want to say. No one's life is always dark. There are cracks in everything. That's where the light comes in."

“Instead of trying to get attention from others, focus on yourself first.”

After saying that, Jiang Tunan left. Hua Bei stopped what he was doing and looked at Jiang Tunan's back as he left. He was touched but only uttered two weak words.

"Thank you."

It’s a pity that the person being thanked had already left and didn’t hear it.

"Tell me, should we get rid of him? He doesn't look like a good person to me."

Ji Yichen was hiding at the back of the crowd. He did not hear what Jiang Tunan and Hua Bei said to each other, but he felt that the man had bad intentions.

"No need,"

Xiao Mingrui jumped down from the tree and landed in front of everyone in the bush.

"Let him go. He will leave on his own after he has eaten his fill."

......

Baili Hao and Meng Jingchen were on their way back. Meng Jingchen spoke in confusion.

"Your Highness, since you came here for the Xiao family, why did you leave after just a short while?"

Baili Hao raised the corners of his mouth.

"That's it."

He leaned back on the cushion, took out the folding fan from his waist and tapped his left hand rhythmically.

"The Imperial Academy will open soon. You should pay more attention to Jiang Tunan. It would be best if the conflict between her and the people of the First Prince's side could not be escalated to an irreconcilable level."

Meng Jingchen lowered his eyes and said nothing, and the car fell into silence.

......

The sun was scorching overhead, and the servants held up the canopy to block out most of the sunlight, so the people sitting below did not feel too hot.

The servants prepared lunch, and Duke Anguo and others took their seats first. Jiang Tunan followed Ji Lingyue and sat at the edge. The more transparent she was, the better.

Xiao Mingrui looked around and found that Fulu was not standing by Jiang Tunan. He thought that he had gone to slack off again, so he whispered to Shu Yan next to him,

"After we get back home, come here if you're ready."

Shu Yan agreed, thinking to himself that his elder brother was in trouble today.

"Okay, everyone is here, I'll just say a few words..."

Duke Anguo was standing at the main seat, holding a wine glass, and seemed very happy.

"First of all, our Ji and Xiao families have had another peaceful year. Then, this year our little girl Lingyue will also be coming of age. The coming of age ceremony will be held during this period, so everyone should make arrangements by then."

Jiang Tunan sat quietly in the corner. The image of the Duke of Anguo at this moment really looked like a kind elder. It seemed that Luo Yunqing was right. The people in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion were not difficult to get along with.

Duke Anguo stroked his beard and said,

"The Imperial Academy is about to start, so you little brats should behave yourself in there. Yiheng won first place last year, so you little ones should learn from him!"

Several younger generations from the Xiao and Ji families lowered their heads. Jiang Tunan was astonished. Isn't this just a family mobilization meeting? The Duke of Anguo is quite good at organizing it.

"Okay, I have nothing more to say. Lian'er, Huaimin, do you have anything to say to encourage me?"

"I don't have much to say. The kids have been pretty sensible lately."

Ji Lian waved his hand, but Xiao Huaimin spoke.

"I'll just say a few words. Recently, the emperor has attached great importance to the students in the Imperial College, especially the female students. So you must not be lazy in the Imperial College."

Everyone responded quietly, and Jiang Tunan followed suit.

"Also, our Nan Nan has returned safely, which is also something worth celebrating."

Jiang Tunan was suddenly called out with half a chicken leg stuffed in his mouth.

Jiang Tunan: ...

"Don't be in a hurry, eat slowly."

Seeing Jiang Tunan's anxious look, Xiao Huaimin hurriedly spoke up. Duke Anguo laughed a few times and said,

"I've heard about this incident, too. I didn't expect that this little girl, despite her age, was so brave that she dared to risk her life to go in and save people."

"Yes, yes, our Nan Nan is awesome..."

Xiao Huaimin seemed to have triggered some mechanism and began to talk endlessly about Jiang Tunan's merits (mostly made up).

As the person involved, Jiang Tunan had a mask of pain on her face, and she even felt that it would be better to scold her.

"You know, Xiaonan, I'm usually the one who receives the trial here in previous years."

Ji Lingyue held Jiang Tunan's hand, feeling a little happy.

"With you here this year, it won't be me anymore."

Jiang Tunan: Thank you, it makes me feel even worse.

"Okay, husband, take a break. Can we have dinner?"

Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear to watch it anymore and interrupted him at the right time. Xiao Huaimin realized that his behavior was indeed inappropriate and laughed a few times.

"Then everyone, hurry up and start eating."

Ji Lingyue laughed secretly a few more times beside him.

"Xiao Nan, your uncle is so good to you."

Xiao Mingxu was sitting opposite Jiang Tunan. When he heard Ji Lingyue say this, he smiled and said,

"That's right. My father treats my cousin much better than he treats me."

"Be content. Your father has never beaten you to death."

Xiao Mingrui sat next to Xiao Mingxu and clinked glasses with him. Ji Lingyue asked in confusion,

"Why are the two cousins ​​sitting here?"

Xiao Mingxu: "Of course, it's to talk more with my cousin."

Xiao Mingrui: "It's dangerous to sit in the front."

At first Jiang Tunan didn't understand what Xiao Mingrui meant until Xiao Huaimin said slowly,

"Our children are all excellent~"

"Cousin, lower your head!"

Xiao Mingxu immediately buried his head tightly, and did not forget to remind Jiang Tunan.

Jiang Tunan:?

"It's time for my favorite talent show again."

Jiang Tunan: ...

"Who comes first?"
