If Song Shulan was not her father's daughter at all, Song Hong and the others had lied to her from beginning to end.
Not only did they taint the name of their father after his death, and the relationship between him and his mother, but they also allowed that scoundrel to take away everything that should belong to her in the name of occupying the second wife! !
With blood oozing from his lips, Song Tangning said angrily: "I want to go back."
Xiao Yan said, "I can send you back, but what do you want to do after you go back? Reveal her identity, or question Song Hong and the others?"
Song Tangning subconsciously opened her mouth to speak.
Xiao Yan said quietly, "You don't have evidence in your hands, so what's the point of questioning?"
"The Song family has the title of Duke of the State, and they pride themselves on being noble and will never confuse their bloodlines. The fact that they are willing to let the maid stay in the house shows that she has the bloodline of the Song family."
In other words, Song Shulan belonged to either the eldest Song Hong or the third eldest Song Tan.
"They dared to let the foreign girl pretend to be the second wife, but they were sure that you wouldn't notice. You have no evidence to prove that she is not your father's daughter."
"You can indeed question Song Hong and the others, or even make a fuss with them, but what should you do if they deny that they are pressuring you with filial piety, saying that you are groundlessly speculating on your elders and slandering their honor?"
"I……"
Song Tangning was confused by the question.
She was just a pampered little girl. Even though she was trapped in the Song family for several years in her previous life and died filled with resentment, in the end she didn't know much about intrigues.
Seeing her appearance, Xiao Yan said: "If Song Shulan is only the blood of Song Tan, the Song family does not need to go to great lengths to cover her up, unless her existence will endanger the future of the Song family, or even destroy the Song family's pillar in the court, and you You should understand who this person is.”
Song Tangning trembled: "It's Song Hong..."
Xiao Yan said "hmm".
"I know you are angry, but you have to understand that someone like Song Hong, who has been immersed in the court for many years, will never allow you to ruin his official reputation."
"If you just go back and question them, if they are kinder, they will comfort you and try to persuade you to cover up the matter and everyone will be fine."
"But if you are cruel, I'm afraid I will wipe out all the evidence and bite you back. Not only will your father's reputation be ruined, but the identity of the concubine will also be confirmed, so that you will never be able to get rid of her."
"They occupy the title of elder and can easily destroy you."
Song Tangning died once, and the painful price had already shown her how cruel the Song family was.
Her heart trembled and she couldn't help but raise her head: "Then what should I do?"
Seeing her calming down so quickly, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with admiration: "Either you endure this, or if you want to move, you have to kill her with one blow."
Song Tangning gritted his teeth.
She won't tolerate it, but if she wants to kill her with one blow...
"When facing an enemy, the most important thing to avoid is to act without any plan. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious."
"You, Song Hong, and the Song family are naturally in a weak position. You can refute your elders with your young, and etiquette does not allow it. Therefore, you must first see clearly the shortcomings of others, know your own advantages, understand what the other party wants, what they are afraid of, and what can you do? Check and balance him.”
Xiao Yan put his slender fingers on his knees and breathed softly when he spoke.
Just like teaching a child, follow the instructions carefully.
"Think carefully before you act, and leave a way out when you risk your life. Those who are good at fighting are brave, and those who attack the heart are profitable. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, Song Tangning lowered his head and thought.
Song Hong and the others care about reputation, face, and the lintel of the Song family. They are also afraid that Song Shulan's true identity will be exposed and ruin Song Hong's future as an official.
And her advantage...
Although she was born in a noble family, the death of both her parents naturally aroused people's pity. The persecution of the Song family made people even more pity for her situation. Moreover, she had an aunt who was a princess who was extremely protective of her shortcomings. She also had an aunt who had taught the emperor and interacted with many veterans in the court. The friendship is irreversible, and the disciple has become the late master and grandfather of the imperial court.
As long as she can reason, she has nothing to fear.
The confusion in Song Tangning's eyes disappeared, her heart settled down, and she couldn't help biting her lip when she looked at Xiao Yan again.
This man clearly wanted her life before, and he teased her extremely badly, forcing her to become extremely embarrassed.
Now he is teaching her to deal with the Song family. What does he mean?
"Why did Governor Xiao help me?"
After a pause, Tang Ning seemed to remember something, "You said earlier that you had violated the interests of many people, and you think you have a grudge against them. Are there Song family members among these people?"
Seeing her guarding up, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Don't think too much, if I want someone's life, I can't do it without borrowing your child's hand."
What happened back then was a secret and involved too many lives. It would not be a good thing for her to know about it, so he changed his story.
"The piece of jade you are wearing around your neck is a relic left by my mother and sister. She has given me the grace to recreate it."
"This jade was her favorite. It originally had two parts, yin and yang. She gave one part to my mother and the other half to her close friend."
He reached out and took out half of the dragon pattern pendant from his arms, unfolded it and placed it in his palm.
Song Tangning's eyes widened in surprise, and she subconsciously reached out to touch the half piece of broken jade that had been hung back on her neck.
She had worn this jade since childhood. She naturally remembered it. She thought it was just a broken piece of jade, but she didn't expect that there was another half, and this half was still in Xiao Yan's hands.
"When I was young, Aunt Xue often told me that her best friend had a daughter. She also said that if you ever meet her, you should call me brother and let me protect you, so you don't have to be afraid of me."
Brother?
Song Tangning froze suddenly as thunder struck in his mind.
She had seen Xiao Yan's coldness and ruthlessness, and naturally she also knew about his sudden concession due to this broken jade.
Just because she is related to the "Aunt Xue" he calls, he can teach her how to deal with the Song family and stand up for her.
What if this jade is in Song Shulan's hands?
Song Tangning's eyes turned dark and she struggled to lower her eyes so as not to lose her composure on the spot.
In her last life, she was sent back to the Song family. When she woke up, she had changed her clothes and the jade was missing.
Song Jinxiu and the others only said that the farmer had not seen this thing when he sent her back, and she just thought it was lost in the mountains.
After her face was disfigured and her legs were broken, Song Shulan had been treating her like a child for nearly a year. No one in the Song family had ever mentioned Xiao Yan, but then suddenly one day, she recognized Xiao Yan as her adopted brother.
Song Tangning said in a trembling voice: "If it weren't for this jade, would the governor recognize someone as his sister?"
"The governor is not in a hurry."
There is nothing to do, why do you recognize your sister?
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he didn't know how he frightened the child. Seeing her tears falling down, he instantly had a headache.
"Why are you crying again?"
When I was a child, I could lift the child up and coax him, but now...
He stood up, walked to the bed with his clothes fluttering, and with that handsome face that could scare a child to tears, he stretched out his big hand and patted her head, "Stop crying, I will kill the Song family for you." people."
Song Tangning was furious, and slapped the claws off his head: "Who wants your help!!"
Damn shit.
"..."
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and looked at the child with wide eyes and hair.
Song Tangning was angry, hateful and scared, pressing her bold hand just now,
"I'm going to Prince Cheng's Mansion..."
Or remembering Xiao Yan's words "brother", he became bolder and spoke louder,
"Going right now!!"
…
Canglang saw the governor carrying Miss Song out, the fox fur cloak covering her petite figure. As soon as they entered the carriage, Miss Song rolled into a corner.
The non-stop, cowardly and naive look made Canglang tremble at the corner of his mouth and make a sound, and Jinyun couldn't help laughing.
The uninjured half of Song Tangning's face turned red.
Xiao Yan also found it a little funny to see her huddled in a corner in despair. She was clearly showing off her teeth and claws just now, but now she was scared.
