Xie Yin and Song Jinxiu entered the courtyard and saw a strange figure standing in front of the door.
Cang Lang was dressed in black brocade clothes and holding a white phosphorus jade peak sword in his hand. He was leaning against the pillars, with half of his body hidden in the shadows.
"Who are you and why are you in Tang Ning's yard?" Xie Yin was suddenly shocked.
Song Jinxiu was shocked when he heard this: "Isn't he from Prince Cheng's Mansion?"
"Someone is coming..."
Seeing Xie Yin opening his mouth to call someone, Cang Lang walked out of the shadows.
"Is Prince Xie blind? I just met him at Qian's house this morning. We didn't recognize him at night."
"It's you!"
After Xie Yin saw who that person was, he suddenly remembered the humiliation he suffered at the Qian family today.
If the words and things Tang Ning said made him lose face and make him extremely ashamed, then the master of the man in front of him was the culprit. If it weren't for him, why would Tang Ning go to Qian's house? He was furious:
"Why did you come to our house? How dare you stay in Tang Ning's courtyard in the middle of the night?"
Song Shulan, who was following behind, saw Song Jinxiu was confused and said softly: "Brother, he is from Governor Xiao..."
Song Jinxiu immediately darkened his face. They came in through the main entrance of the palace. If an outsider came to visit the concierge, he would not fail to mention it to Xie Yin. Moreover, he was extremely disgusted with eunuch Xiao Yan's manipulation of power. He was not happy with Tang Ning's involvement with him. Now Xiao Yan's people still show up at Tang Ning's residence in the middle of the night.
Song Jinxiu took a few steps forward and said with a sullen expression on his face: "How did you get in? Where is Tang Ning? Where is she?"
"Ms. Song is naturally inside..."
"Then why are you here!"
Song Jinxiu said sternly, "This is Prince Cheng's Mansion, not Xiao Yan's Governor's Mansion. What do you want to do by entering Tang Ning's residence so late at night without anyone's permission? A man and a woman are alone in the same room. This is your Governor Xiao's Mansion." Upbringing?"
Canglang was shocked when he heard this.
Is there something wrong in the Song family's head? It's unreasonable for him to appear here, but anyone who loves his daughter should find a way to clear up the relationship first.
But he is still outside the house, and the elder man of the Song family keeps saying that he is a man and a widow. Is this because he is afraid that he will not ruin the reputation of the young lady of the Song family?
"Canglang." Xiao Yan's eyes turned cold and just as he spoke, Tang Ning suddenly said: "Brother, I want to meet them."
Xiao Yan turned to look at her. This was the first time she took the initiative to call him brother.
The little girl's eyes were still red, and the scarlet color at the corners of her eyes had not faded, but she spoke extremely seriously.
"As you said, I can take care of the Song family's affairs. I want to do it myself."
She once relied on her elder brother, her cousin, and Lu Zhinian, who she thought would work together to protect her for the rest of her life.
She relied on the Song family, but everyone abandoned her. Now she no longer wants to rely on anyone. She wants to do some things by herself. Even if the people in front of her protect her, she doesn't want to rely on anyone anymore.
Xiao Yan was quiet for a moment after hearing this, and the frosty color on his face faded: "It's up to you."
"If you are afraid, call me the governor."
…
Tang Ning stood up, supporting Xiao Yan's arm through her sleeves, and was half-supported by him out of the room. The few people who were still confronting Cang Lang outside looked up and saw the figure coming out of the door, and hurried forward.
Song Jinxiu walked the fastest. When he got closer, he first saw the tall figure next to Tang Ning, and then saw the wet water in Tang Ning's eyes. He immediately said urgently: "Xiao Yan, how dare you enter Tang Ning's boudoir, Tang Ning?" How are you? Did Xiao Yan bully you? Don't be afraid, brother will protect you."
He stepped forward to pull Tang Ning away, but Tang Ning stepped back and stepped out of the way. When his hand failed, Song Jinxiu was in a daze, "Tang Ning..."
"Mr. Song seems to really want me to be treated well?"
"Tang Ning!" Song Jinxiu was shocked. Seeing the coldness in Tang Ning's eyes that he had never seen before, he explained, "You know that's not what I meant. You are a girl who has not left the court. Xiao Yan, master and servant, are with you like this late at night. We are in the same room, and if you spread it out and let others know about it, it will ruin your reputation, I am just worried about you."
"Master Yutai, if you speak softer, her reputation may be clearer. What's more, I am a eunuch. Whose reputation will be harmed?"
Xiao Yan's words made Song Jinxiu freeze.
On the contrary, Tang Ning listened to him saying that she was a eunuch without any care. Although she was a eunuch, someone who deserved to be wanton exposed her own shortcomings.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and she turned a completely cold eye towards Song Jinxiu.
"Don't say that Canglang is outside the door. I am in the same room with the governor, but the doors and windows are open. Even if there are only two of us in the room, the governor is my brother, who dares to say anything? On the contrary, it is Song Langjun, Since you knew that the night was already dark, you brought your daughter into Prince Cheng's Mansion to disturb my tranquility. How come you were afraid that she would lose her reputation when you left her alone with Prince Xie?"
"You, my brother, didn't go to the Qian family today, but you asked Prince Xie to take her around to make friends with people. You weren't afraid of people talking at all. Why were you so harsh when it was my turn?"
Song Jinxiu was stung by her words: "This is different, A Yin is not an outsider..."
"The governor is also my brother!"
Tang Ning interrupted him, her dark eyes full of ridicule, "You said Prince Xie is not an outsider, but an insider? Did Song Shulan marry into Prince Cheng's palace, or Prince Xie already planned to marry her? ? The two of them offered three betrothal gifts and six gifts. Are they engaged or have they exchanged gifts?"
"Tang Ning!" Xie Yin was annoyed, "Shu Lan came to apologize to you, why are you so sharp?"
"Did Prince Xie forget that you called her a bitch in front of the Qian family today?"
"you!"
Xie Yin became angry and said, "That was also your fault. If you hadn't been shameless in public, how could I have been so angry for a moment? Besides, your legs are obviously fine. Why did you pretend to have broken your legs and be carried into Qian's house for people to see?" We were laughing, but you clearly meant to embarrass me."
"so what?"
Xie Yin was stunned and speechless. He thought Tang Ning was going to refute and defend, but she actually accepted it.
Tangning suddenly smiled when she saw his appearance: "Prince Xie, it was you who abandoned me in Qishan Mountain, it was you who made me frighten my horse and fall off the cliff, it was you who made me almost die in that dark forest."
"Look at my face."
When she suddenly came closer, all the wounds on her face that had been covered with medicine were exposed, looking ferocious and scary.
Xie Yin was so frightened that he backed away in panic. Her smile suddenly became even wider: "Why, you are so ugly, Crown Prince Xie?"
"You said I deliberately embarrassed you, but tell me what you were doing when I was crying for help? What were you doing when I was injured and dying?"
"Huh? My cousin?"
Xie Yin's face turned pale and swayed, and he backed away repeatedly.
Song Tangning raised his head and looked at Song Jinxiu, who also looked stunned: "Mr. Song, I also want to ask you, what are you doing here tonight? Do you want to see how miserable I am at the hands of you, or do you want me to see how miserable you are?" How much do you love your sister?"
Song Jinxiu explained: "I'm not, I'm just worried about you. I know you're injured and want to take you back..."
"What are you going back for? To hear you scold me for being ignorant again, or to hear you tell me how pitiable Song Shulan is?"
