Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 146: Xie Xun Injured

Seeing the Xin family’s displeased expression, Xie Xun continued, "Besides, everyone saw it. You were pressing down on me and hitting me. There are witnesses. Do you think you can deny it, Eldest Young Master Xin?"

Everyone defended with righteousness, "Yes, yes, we all indeed saw it."

"That Eldest Young Master Xin was pressing down on Heir Xie to hit him, how ruthless..."

"How noble is Heir Xie?"

"Really don’t know why Eldest Young Master Xin wanted to hit someone."

Xin Wen was cornered by Xie Xun and these guests and could only say, "I really didn’t hit him!"

Just now, Xie Xun clearly pulled him to roll on the ground, and wouldn’t let him go, so they ended up wrestling together.

Su Juan could see it now, Xie Xun was doing it on purpose. She just didn’t know how Xin Wen had provoked him.

Xie Xun casually tidied his messy hair, and Su Juan’s gaze suddenly noticed the scratches on Xie Xun’s neck, like nail marks with traces of blood...

Su Juan’s expression immediately changed, her eyes flickered with displeasure, and she looked at Mr. and Mrs. Xin, "Mr. Xin, we all saw today’s events. Eldest Young Master Xin assaulted the Princely Heir of the court, what does your Xin Family plan to do about such conduct?"

Who in the capital doesn’t know, the relationship between Su Juan and Xie Xun is quite special, now even living in Duke Mansion, with the Duke treating her like a daughter. This time, Xie Xun was beaten, so she naturally wanted to seek justice for him.

Mr. Xin awkwardly laughed twice, "Lord Su, my son was just playing around with the Heir. Kids roughhouse all the time."

Su Juan coldly laughed, "Playing around?"

"In their twenties and Mr. Xin still thinks they are ten-year-old children?"

[With Xin Wen’s large build, Mr. Xin still keeps saying ’kids roughhouse’, as if Xin Family has raised an oversized immature baby.]

Someone snickered and quickly covered their mouth.

With Xin Wen’s large size and Mr. Xin still saying ’kids roughhouse’, isn’t that just an oversized immature baby?

Xie Xun held back a laugh, he really didn’t want to laugh, it’s just that Su Juan was too eloquent.

Mr. Xin felt troubled. The Xin Family was formerly aligned with the Second Prince. After the Second Prince’s rebellion, they were not implicated, yet they declined over the years. By his generation, he only managed to secure a Seventh Rank position at the Hanlin Academy, with no hope for advancement. Naturally, he wanted to socialize and build connections with court officials.

Su Juan is now highly favored. He neither wanted nor dared to offend her, especially with Xie Xun, the son of the current Duke, whose aunt is also the reigning Empress...

"Lord Su, this was my son’s wrongdoing. I shall have him apologize to Heir Xie!"

Mr. Xin glared at Xin Wen angrily, "Unfilial son, quickly apologize to Heir Xie!"

Xin Wen was not convinced, full of pride, "Father, I truly did not hit Heir Xie, why should I apologize!?"

It was clearly Xie Xun who was slandering him!

He pointed at Xie Xun, questioning angrily, "Xie Xun! I clearly didn’t hit you, why are you accusing me!"

Su Juan stood in front of Xie Xun, protecting him behind her, "Eldest Young Master Xin claims he didn’t hit anyone, what, does he think we’re all blind and heartless?"

"If what you say is true, then where did the injury on the Heir’s neck come from? Did he scratch himself to pin it on you?"

Xie Xun looked at Su Juan standing protectively before him, his smiling eyes narrowed, they were quite in sync.

To be honest, this feeling of being unconditionally favored feels pretty nice, no wonder the old man likes Su Juan so much.

In the next moment, Su Juan’s voice rang out: [Xie Xun is foolish, but not foolish enough to harm himself just to slander a fool.]

Xie Xun: "!" Why am I foolish!

Everyone laughed, this Vice Director really does speak the truth.

[Compared to this fool, Xie Xun actually seems quite clever.]

Xie Xun: ...Thank you very much.

Xin Wen’s face turned grim, clenching his fists, hiding his bloody fingertips, and muttered through gritted teeth, "Why couldn’t it be him who scratched himself..."

Everyone turned to Xie Xun, seeing those shallow blood marks on his neck. It didn’t actually look that serious.

Su Juan, hearing this, laughed, "As a proper Heir, would he go to such lengths to slander you, when gives you such face, Eldest Young Master Xin?"

[Could it be he was brainless enough to concoct this idea to slander you?]

The crowd murmured in discussion, you really can’t tell, this Vice Director who always appeared to have such a good temper, turns out to be quite protective, and seemingly not planning to let Xin Wen off easily.

Only Xie Xun, feeling like he was being scolded, even though the scratches on his neck were indeed from Xin Wen’s pulling earlier.

Seeing that Su Juan wasn’t planning to make a big matter smaller, Mr. Xin’s face darkened, dragging his eldest son, he said to Xie Xun, "Heir, I apologize on behalf of my son, it’s all his fault, please be magnanimous..."

"Father! I didn’t hit him, why should you apologize for me, let’s just take it to the government and argue the truth!"

Usually, the Xin Family doted on this eldest son. Where had they ever suffered such grievance? Now, Xin Wen only thought his father had grown senile!

Su Juan smiled, "Eldest Young Master Xin makes a good point, shall we go to Jingzhao Mansion and argue it out?"

[With so many people witnessing Xin Wen hitting someone, going to Shangguan Mansion could cause a scene, but it doesn’t harm us.]

"Lord Su, please don’t!" The Xin family couple immediately panicked, "It’s just usual roughhousing, no need to escalate to Shangguan Mansion."

Mr. Xin directly slapped Xin Wen, "Unfilial son! Don’t you realize your fault?"

[Oh no! How did it escalate to hitting!]

[Fight, fight on!]

Everyone: ?

Everyone: How does this Vice Director find this entertaining?

Who doesn’t know that the Jingzhao Prefect and Vice Director Su, have a particularly good relationship, even assisting in investigations. If it really got to Jingzhao Mansion today, and spread far and wide, it would only harm the Xin Family.

The usual pampering of this son; who would have thought he would cause such an issue at a critical time? If they really offend the Duke Mansion, and the favorite of His Majesty today, how would the Xin family rise again?

Xin Wen was stunned by the slap, looking at his father in disbelief, "Father?"

Mr. Xin reprimanded, "Still not admitting your mistake!?"

Mrs. Xin on the side was teary-eyed, urging her stubborn son, "Ah Wen, listen to your father, quickly apologize to the Heir."

The Xin Family, in their current state, dared not contend with the Xie Family.

Xin Wen had never seen his father and mother like this, and did not dare to go against them. At this moment, he looked at Xie Xun and Su Juan, gnashing his teeth, almost forcing the words out from his clenched teeth, "It was my fault, I hope the Heir can forgive my rashness."

Xie Xun sighed, "Since Eldest Young Master Xin admits his fault, I am not someone who holds grudges. Let’s just forget about this incident today, it seems Eldest Young Master Xin doesn’t like me here, perhaps I should leave."

The Xin family couple immediately smiled apologetically, "It was our son’s fault today, we hope Heir Xie will stay a while longer, there is good wine and food in the residence, it’s not too late to leave after the banquet."

Xie Xun touched his own neck, taking a sharp breath, "Better not, Eldest Young Master Xin is displeased, let’s not force Mr. and Mrs. Xin."

Su Juan looked at Xie Xun’s neck wound, "It is time to go, the Heir should quickly return to apply medicine."

Xie Xun was moved, really didn’t expect Su Juan to care for him like this.

[If I don’t apply medicine soon, this wound might just heal itself.]

Someone almost burst out laughing.

Xie Xun: "..."
