Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 172 What do you want from me?

When Su Ziyao heard Jun Jiuchen's words, he felt that they were exactly what he wanted.

"The Regent truly has a strange taste, to have fallen for such a corrupt woman! However, I advise the Regent to open his eyes and not be blinded by beauty!"

"Besides, even if you are attracted to her, it doesn't matter. It is an indisputable fact that she did such a despicable thing today. Even if you are in a high position and have great power, justice is in the hearts of the people, and it is beyond your control!"

Jun Jiuchen just lowered his eyes to glance at Song Wan who was also looking at her with some doubts at the side, and continued to speak.

"Oh? Fair?"

"According to what you just said, she visits the mansions of high-ranking officials in order to curry favor with the powerful. That's why she repeatedly seduces you... Then this king is curious."

"She doesn't even accept my feelings, but instead goes to great lengths to seduce you, a fool who doesn't even have a real job, spends all day doing nothing but pretending to be cultured and hanging around in brothels. What's the point?"

Seeing that Jun Jiuchen didn't give him any face in front of so many people and instead humiliated him, Su Ziyao couldn't bear it anymore and sneered.

Shift your gaze to the ugly ghost face on his face.

"Why? Isn't it clear to the Regent?"

"Although I'm not talented, at least I have a pretty face. Even if you're powerful, you don't even dare to show your true face to others."

"I'm afraid it's not the face beneath the mask... that's too shameful to be seen. Even someone like her, who's obsessed with clinging to the powerful, would be afraid!"

After hearing Su Ziyao say this, everyone around him suddenly fell silent.

Although……

They had also privately arranged Jun Jiuchen's appearance.

But Su Ziyao was too bold to say it in front of him.

Although Su Ziyao calls himself the emperor's uncle, if he really angers Jun Jiuchen, even if they are biological brothers, the Queen Mother and His Majesty may not protect him under the current circumstances.

What's more, he and the Queen Mother are not from the same family.

In the silence, a figure could no longer hold back and walked out. He came to Su Ziyao's side, pulled her sleeve, and whispered anxiously.

"Brother, be careful with your words! Apologize to the Regent immediately."

The person who came was Su Ling'er.

The eldest sister repeatedly reminded them to remember to be on good terms with the Regent.

It would be fine if my brother didn't listen to his advice, but why did he provoke him like this?

Although she did not understand state affairs, she remembered every word her elder sister said.

Su Ziyao didn't even look at Su Ling'er. He just casually raised his hand and waved her away, looking at Jun Jiuchen with an unconvinced look.

"Why is the Regent silent? Why... is it because I said so, that he is speechless?"

"If what I said is wrong, why don't you ask the Regent to take off his mask and prove it to us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was greeted by Shangguan Yu, Song Wan, and even Luluo behind Song Wan, who looked at him as if he were a fool.

Seeing this, Su Ziyao felt a sense of unease for no reason.

what's the situation?

What do these people's expressions mean?

Seeing her brother like this, Su Ling'er became even more anxious.

But over the years, her fear of her brother has been ingrained in her heart. Even though her mother has been promoted to a co-wife and her elder sister has become the empress dowager, her inherent timidity prevents her from mustering the courage to persuade him again.

However, what worried Su Ling'er was that the anger from the Regent did not come. He just chuckled and spoke in a somewhat nonchalant tone.

"Since you have this request, I will satisfy you."

Then he raised his hand and took off the ugly ghost mask on his face.

For the first time, the face that was unrivaled in Kyoto appeared in front of everyone without any obstruction.

It also made Su Ling'er's heartbeat suddenly slow down by half a beat.

Su Ziyao stared at Jun Jiuchen in front of him with his eyes wide open in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

How can it be?

Didn't he ruin his appearance?

If not, why would he cover himself with a ghost mask all day long?

But the facts before him were like a slap in the face.

At this time, Shangguan Yu waved the feather fan in his hand with a rather evil look and looked at Su Ziyao.

"What did Master Su just say? You are quite good-looking, but the Regent... is not as good as you..."

"Now, tell me, what reason does Miss Jiang have to reject the Regent and choose you?"

"Could it be that Miss Jiang has some special fetish... Is it because you look average, have accomplished nothing, and want to use your pretentiousness to hang out in brothels?"

Su Ziyao's expression changed again and again when he heard this.

This sudden scene made everything he said just now become a joke.

He could only say it stubbornly.

"This... this matter of feelings, who can say for sure..."

At this moment, Xing Zixian suddenly sneered.

"Didn't you just say that Jiang Wanqiao was trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful? Why are you bringing up feelings now?"

"And Jiang Wanqiao just said that she had never seen you before entering the Bo Mansion! Master Su's shamelessness is so shameless that even I am ashamed of myself!"

He has never seen anyone more shameless than him.

Moreover, he had seen Su Ziyao several times in Hongxiuzhao. He knew what kind of talented and romantic man Su Ziyao was. He could see clearly what kind of person he was.

Not to mention that Jiang Wanqiao looked down on her, even he looked down on her.

Seeing so many people suddenly jumping out to rescue the merchant's daughter, Su Ziyao finally panicked and looked at Shen Jiahe involuntarily.

Shen Jiahe was also a little surprised at this time because he saw Jun Jiuchen's true appearance.

Although she had intended to let Su Ziyao and Jun Jiuchen fight each other, now that Su Ziyao had been exposed, if she didn't come forward, this idiot might implicate her as well.

He had no choice but to stand up and look at Su Ziyao with a bit of anger.

"Cousin, it seems you did misunderstand Miss Jiang. Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been resolved now. As a man, cousin has always been broad-minded. Now that Miss Jiang has been wronged, I should apologize to her."

"I believe that as long as my cousin apologizes sincerely, Miss Jiang will definitely forgive you."

"As for the drugging incident, I will get to the bottom of it and give you and Miss Jiang an explanation."

Su Ziyao also understood that his cousin wanted to find a scapegoat to save face, but he was still somewhat unhappy that he had to apologize to Jiang Wanqiao in this way.

But after his eyes swept across the faces of the onlookers, he knew that he had no choice but to go down this staircase, otherwise the scene might become even more unsightly...

But before he could speak, Jun Jiuchen's voice suddenly rang out.

"Princess Jianing is very good at distinguishing right from wrong..."

Shen Jiahe naturally knew that Jun Jiuchen was not praising her, but she was a little confused in her heart, so she just responded with a faint smile.

"Your Majesty, I am too kind. My cousin is a man of courtesy. He was just confused for a moment. I think he would have done the same thing even if I hadn't said anything."

Jun Jiuchen raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"My Lord, you are too modest. However, since you are able to distinguish right from wrong, I do have a question for you."

"If the princess knew that someone had deceived their superiors, lied about military intelligence, and harmed their colleagues...they would be committing a heinous crime."

"And this person... is also a close relative of the princess. How should I... deal with him?"
