Chapter 1040: The Bo Family is Completely at a Disadvantage
What Alvin said was a fact: in B Country, there is a hereditary system, so the royal family and officials are certainly well protected.
Even if it’s not a hereditary system, they still serve the country. Can ordinary people blatantly defame and quarrel with them face to face?
The protection of the officials’ children is also a form of protecting the officials themselves; publicly defaming and quarreling with them would also result in punishment.
But what Alvin didn’t mention is that if the officials’ children are at fault, they would face even harsher punishment.
However, looking at the current situation, Dan Lingling probably didn’t do much wrong.
Generally speaking, people like Dan Lingling tend to have some upbringing, at least that’s what they appear to have on the surface.
Just like earlier, when Dan Lingling came over to offer a toast and was snubbed, she simply left without retorting or throwing a tantrum.
So, regarding this matter, Alvin actually sided with Dan Lingling.
Hearing Alvin speak this way made Dan Lingling act even more haughtily untouchable, but she also politely thanked Alvin, "Thank you for your support, Your Highness Alvin. I’m embarrassed you had to see that."
Alvin laughed, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
This definitely put the Bo Family at a complete disadvantage, with everyone staring in shock, not knowing what to say.
All the guests felt a cold sweat for the Bo Family but didn’t sympathize with them; it was a situation of their own making.
Right at this moment, Gu Qibao arrived with Di Mingjue, quite confused, and saw that two guards had already arrested Bo Chengxin and Bo Chengyan.
Gu Qibao looked utterly bewildered, while Nangong Ran was more excited, saying directly to her, "I’ll show you the video later, and you’ll understand. It’s quite the spectacle."
Gu Qibao nodded and turned to look at Bo Chengxin, seeing her face red as if she had been slapped.
What she didn’t understand was why Bo Chengyan was being arrested too.
Dan Lingling was full of pride, but she still maintained a very good demeanor.
The arrival of the two naturally attracted some attention, and Dan Lingling noticed it too.
After thinking it through, Dan Lingling stepped forward and, now seeming reasonable, said, "Third Young Master, it is your wife’s banquet today. I inadvertently caused some conflict here, which must have embarrassed you. I apologize."
Di Mingjue remained silent, expressionless for two seconds, then slightly curled his lips, "It’s not a problem, it is the host’s fault for letting Miss Dan feel aggrieved."
At this moment, the two of them seemed extremely amicable. Gu Qibao blinked, genuinely not understanding how Dan Lingling could have gotten into such a fierce quarrel with Bo Chengxin; it seemed there were feelings involved.
Wasn’t Dan Lingling fond of Di Mingzhe?
What could she possibly have to do with Bo Chengxin?
At this moment, Dan Lingling also wanted to maintain her poise and thus turned to Gu Qibao, speaking politely, "Miss Gu, I apologize for the offense."
Gu Qibao was stunned; she honestly didn’t understand what had happened but still imitated Di Mingjue’s manner, responding, "It’s no problem, it’s our oversight for not taking good care of Miss Dan."
Bo Chengxin, of course, noticed this group of people posturing, and subconsciously she lumped Dan Lingling and Gu Qibao together.
Dan Lingling had clearly provoked her deliberately to infuriate her and pick a quarrel, all to humiliate her!
And from their conversation just now, it seemed as though she was the one who had offended Dan Lingling first?
Bo Chengxin was livid.
Her heart was a mix of varied emotions; at this moment, as she was firmly arrested by the guards, she felt even more humiliated.
Not only was she arrested, but Bo Chengyan was arrested as well, while Bo Ruijie, Cheng Xinlan, and Bo Chenghe stood by the side, not saying a word.
Bo Chengxin was extremely resentful.
