"Brother!"
Song Jinxiu walked quickly to the door and was about to get on the carriage when he saw Song Shulan staggering out behind him with her skirt in hand. He quickly let go of the bridle rope and stopped: "Why are you out?"
Song Shulan bumped into him and was supported: "Brother, I'll go with you."
The girl's face was extremely pale, and her eyes were red from crying.
"I shouldn't have followed my brother to Lingyun Temple. It was me who caused my brother to be misunderstood by Tang Ning. I know that my brother feels sorry for Tang Ning. What happened yesterday was my fault. I shouldn't have talked back to Tang Ning and got involved. Brother was so angry that he almost harmed Tang Ning. All of this is my fault."
She gently pulled Song Jinxiu's clothes and cried softly,
"It's me that Tang Ning is angry with, and it's me that she doesn't like. It's me... I shouldn't have come to the capital..."
Song Jinxiu looked at the tiny Song Shulan and felt that his heart was completely soft.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Tang Ning's matter has nothing to do with you. You are the girl of the Song family. Where else can you go if you don't go back to the Song family? It was my carelessness that caused Tang Ning to get hurt. She is already impatient and doesn't like you. If you go, she will make things difficult for you."
"I'm not afraid. As long as I can help brother, I can kneel down and beg Tang Ning."
Song Shulan was full of tenderness when biting her lips, but she was gloomy when her long eyelashes drooped slightly.
The Qian family's accident caused all the goodwill she had worked so hard to get back. Xie Yin was tired of her today, and she could no longer let her brother be coaxed by Song Tangning.
She knew very well the thoughts of the young masters of these aristocratic families, and she also knew Xie Yin very well.
Youthful spirit, pity for the weak, pride of justice, stupid naivety.
Only when she was embarrassed by Song Tangning, bullied by her, scolded and humiliated by her, could she make Xie Yin and Song Jinxiu pity them.
"Brother, please let me go. I'll beg Tang Ning..."
"If she doesn't come back, grandma... grandma won't let me go..."
Song Jinxiu saw that she was worried and scared, and his heart ached when he thought of Mrs. Song's indifference to her just now.
"Okay, brother will take you there."
He held Song Shulan's hand and led her onto the horse,
"Don't be afraid, brother will protect you."
…
After Tang Ning followed Princess Cheng back to the palace, the palace doctor was invited back.
After learning that Tang Ning had mostly bruises on her body, the leg injuries looked severe and the bones were fine, and the wounds on her face had been treated with the best wound medicine and would not leave scars. On the contrary, the wounds on her hands were the most severe, Princess Cheng I feel heartbroken and relieved at the same time. The face of my little girl’s mother-in-law is the most important thing.
After sending the imperial doctor out in person, Princess Cheng met Prince Cheng who had returned in a hurry.
King Cheng is nearly forty years old, and his figure is still majestic. Xie Yin is five or six points similar to him.
"How is Tang Ning?"
"The injury was serious. Fortunately, the people around Governor Xiao gave her medicine, otherwise her face would..." Princess Cheng's eyes were still a little red.
Prince Cheng put his arms around her and said, "Don't worry, Tang Ningfu is lucky and everything will be fine."
Princess Cheng's eyes were red and she said "Hmm" softly.
When Prince Cheng followed Princess Cheng into the house, the little girl was nestled in a small ball on the soft couch, with a thick fine velvet blanket wrapped around her body.
Although the house was warmed by a ground dragon, Princess Cheng was still afraid that she would catch a cold and that she might get cold from the cold in the mountains last night, so she asked people to close the doors and windows, light the charcoal basin, and get the Tangbaozi for her to hold.
Tang Ning's face was nestled in the fluffy fox fur, her body was hot, and her nose and cheeks were a little red.
"Aunt, I'm so hot..."
"The hot spot is good. Go and get rid of the cold. The imperial doctor said that you should not blow any more wind if your body is cold."
Tang Ning's eyes were watery, and her lips were a little bloodier due to the heat.
King Cheng stood aside: "Just listen to your aunt. You don't know that you scared your aunt this time. Just now she was hiding outside and secretly shedding tears. Her eye circles were swollen from crying. You are so pregnant." Get well soon so that your aunt can feel at ease."
Only then did Tang Ning notice the tall man who followed Princess Cheng. The delicate look on his face faded a little, and he called softly: "Uncle."
"How's it going? Does it still hurt?"
King Cheng stepped forward and reached out to touch Tang Ning's forehead, but she subconsciously avoided it.
"Tang Ning?" King Cheng was stunned for a moment.
Song Tangning curled up her fingertips, but Princess Cheng reached out and patted him: "What are you doing? Tangning is already old enough to have haircuts. She is not a little girl of three or five years old. You are a grown man who is so careless that you are not afraid of scaring her."
King Cheng smiled heartily when he heard this: "Have you forgotten? She has been coming and going in our house since she was a little girl. At that time, she often held my arm and let me carry her around the house and act coquettishly with me. Well, now that I'm older, I know how to be shy."
Like an elder who loves the little girl very much, he said with concern,
"You stay in the palace for the next few days to recuperate. Your uncle on the other side of the Song family will make the decision for you. If Song Hong and the others don't come up with a reason this time, they won't even think about taking our little Tang Ning back, and you too. Brother and cousin, uncle will definitely teach them a lesson for you!"
Song Tangning's eyelashes trembled: "Thank you, uncle."
"Silly, I am your uncle, why are you thanking me?"
After his head was rubbed, Prince Cheng turned to Princess Cheng and said, "I still have official business to deal with. Please accompany Tang Ning first. I heard that you haven't eaten since you came back. I just asked the kitchen to cook something for you and me." Tang Ning likes to eat, so you can use some later, don’t starve yourself."
Princess Cheng said with tenderness, "I know, I'm not a child."
"You have always been a little girl in my eyes."
Prince Cheng received a punch in front of him and laughed, then shook Princess Cheng's hand and turned around to go out.
After everyone left, Princess Cheng held back her laughter and whispered, "I'm not ashamed." When she looked back and saw Tang Ning looking at her, her cheeks suddenly turned red: "What are you looking at?"
Tang Ning pursed her lips and said, "Aunt, you and my uncle have a really good relationship."
"What a kid is talking nonsense."
Princess Cheng poked her forehead lightly, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
She and King Cheng fell in love at first sight. When she was young, she and her elder sister put out lanterns on Chinese Valentine's Day. King Cheng saw her and decided to marry her.
He was already handsome in appearance, noble in birth, and sincere in his love for her, so his father Rong Taifu agreed to marry her to Prince Cheng.
After the two got married, she was the only mistress in Prince Cheng's palace. Over the years, Prince Cheng never took a concubine, and he never touched other women. He was completely obedient to her. Even if outsiders laughed at him for being afraid of his wife, he would never do anything to her. Keeping it in mind, she lived as freely as a little girl before she got married.
Princess Cheng remembered that Prince Cheng's cheeks were a little blushing, and his charming face was full of happiness.
She patted Song Tangning, who was staring at her: "Aren't you tired after a day of hard work? Do you want to take a rest?"
Tang Ning lowered his eyes: "I'm a little sleepy."
"Then you take a nap and I'll go see what's being done in the kitchen."
"good."
Tang Ning closed her eyes and fell asleep. After a while, her breathing calmed down, and then Princess Cheng carefully tucked the blanket around her body, and then walked out quietly.
When there was no sound in the room, Tang Ning opened her eyes and stared at the door in trance.
