The whole courtyard was filled with howling winds. When Song Jinxiu knelt down, he heard a heavy sound accompanied by a muffled groan. Tang Ning even wondered if his knees were shattered, but the tall man standing in front of him was just He pulled the edge of his sleeve to cover her face.
Tang Ning felt a vague warmth covering her eyes, and his jade-like voice sounded in her ears: "Your name is Song Shulan?"
Song Shulan's face turned pale.
"You said that yesterday's incident happened because of you, and you shouldn't have accidentally knocked over Mrs. Song's lantern. You also said that as long as you can ask for Tang Ning's forgiveness, you can do whatever you want. Then get out of here and leave from here. Starting from the gate of Prince Cheng's Mansion, we kneel and kowtow step by step until we reach Lingyun Temple, and ask for the everlasting lamp again for Mrs. Song."
"Mrs. Song is so considerate and wants to share my brother's worries, so I'm sure she won't refuse."
Song Shulan was stunned when she heard this.
He's crazy? !
Prince Cheng's Mansion is in the most prosperous place in the capital. It would take half a stick of incense to get from here to the city gate, let alone all the way to Lingyun Temple. If she really knelt down to Lingyun Temple step by step, let alone Embarrassing or not, whether she can still gain a foothold in Beijing in the future, don't even want her legs.
"Why, you don't want to? It seems that Mrs. Song is not so sincere."
Song Shulan turned pale and trembled under Xiao Yan's gaze.
"Brother..." She trembled in fear, and couldn't help but look at Xie Yin beside her, "Brother Ayin..."
Xie Yin was already angry, so he yelled angrily: "You are bullying others too much. Kneel down to Lingyun Temple like this, you are trying to kill Shu Lan!"
Song Jinxiu's legs hurt from being kicked, and the stinging pain in his knees reminded him again and again of the humiliation he had just suffered. After the "gift", no one called him, so he forced himself to stand up, not looking at Xiao Yan, and just remained silent. To Song Tangning: "You just watch him humiliate your brother and sister?"
Xiao Yan's eyes turned cold, and the edge of his sleeve was gently pulled down by the person behind him.
Tang Ning showed a small face from beside him: "Director Xiao is my brother, and my brother's meaning is what I mean. You are asking me to forgive you in every possible way. Yes, let Song Shulan kneel down and kowtow all the way. Lingyun Temple, I will consider forgiving her."
She seemed to have thought of something and smiled evilly at the two of them.
"I am inherently vicious and narrow-minded, and I am not as sensible and gentle as Song Shulan."
"Mr. Song feels sorry for your sister. Prince Xie pities her for her miserable background, gentleness and frailty. You can also kneel down on her behalf. If you are not enough, bring Lu Zhinian with you. Anyway, the three of you regard her as a treasure. I'm willing to kneel down for her, or is Song Langjun's so-called love just words?"
"Song Tangning..." Song Jinxiu couldn't believe she could say such words, "I am your brother!"
"you are not."
Long before he broke his promise and put Song Shulan in the same position as her, long before he could reprimand and scold her again and again for Song Shulan, and throw her in Qishan without caring about her life or death, he was no longer the one.
Facing Song Jinxiu's angry eyes, her voice was as cold as falling snow
"Song Jinxiu, you are not, my brother will not want to kill me."
Song Jinxiu stumbled palely as if struck by lightning.
Song Tangning's long eyelashes gently pulled Xiao Yan's sleeves: "Brother, I don't want to see them."
"Didn't you hear that?" Xiao Yan said indifferently, "Send them away."
"Song Tangning, you are crazy." Xie Yin hissed angrily, "Are you confused? Brother Jinxiu and I are your relatives. We are your closest relatives. You actually recognize an eunuch as your brother, and you are still like this How shameless are you to humiliate your eldest brother...ah..."
Cang Lang took the scabbard and threw it at Xie Yin's face, beating him until blood came from his mouth.
The phrase "eunuch" seemed to have touched something vital. Xiao Yan's expression suddenly turned cold, and he just said "Pull out his tongue." Three black figures suddenly jumped out of the originally empty courtyard, and one of them swiped a long sword in his hand. Placed in front of Xie Yin's face, it was only an inch away from taking his head.
Xie Yin screamed and fled back in panic, but the corner of his mouth was still cut open by a sword. Princess Cheng, who was originally furious, was also shocked.
"Supervisor!" Princess Cheng was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted.
She was angry that Xie Yin was confused, but she didn't want him to die.
Xiao Yan's eyes were cold and merciless. Seeing that the man in black was about to move again, someone suddenly rushed in from outside the hospital.
"Master Xiao, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
King Cheng strode in, spoke loudly and quickly walked to Xie Yin, raised his foot and kicked him in the leg.
"You are a bastard. You dare to offend the Governor. You dare to say anything. Your mouth will cause trouble sooner or later!"
After Xie Yin received a kick, King Cheng pushed him aside, barely able to block the sword in the hand of the man in black opposite him.
"It's just a joke among a few children. How can it be worth alerting Governor Xiao's black-armored guards?"
After he finished speaking, he glared at Xie Yin, "You bastard, you still haven't apologized to Governor Xiao!"
Xie Yin's mouth hurt terribly. Although he avoided the sword, blood still flowed from the scratched area.
He was both shocked and scared. He did not expect that Xiao Yan, an eunuch, would dare to take action in Prince Cheng's palace, and he did not expect that his father would apologize to Xiao Yan first.
He was extremely frightened and resentful in his heart, but facing the black-armored guard who was close at hand, and looking at the indifferent Xiao Yan not far away, he really wanted to pull out his tongue.
Xie Yin said in a suppressed low voice: "I made a mistake and said the wrong thing just now. Please forgive me, Governor Xiao."
"It's okay to lose your words, but it's important to lose your life. If Prince Xie can't learn how to speak next time, don't use this tongue."
Xie Yin's face turned red.
Prince Cheng also had anger flashing in his eyes, feeling that Xiao Yan was too arrogant, but this eunuch had so much power in the court, he could only endure it.
"Governor Xiao is coming to the mansion tonight, why don't you let someone tell me first so that I can host a banquet in honor of Governor Xiao."
King Cheng forcibly changed the topic, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
"I heard earlier that the governor fell in love with Tang Ning and recognized Tang Ning as his adopted sister. This is a huge happy event. It's still cold outside, so don't stand here anymore. Tang Ning, call the governor quickly. Move to the front hall with your brother and the others, and let’s talk to each other if you have anything to say..."
"What's there to say? Tang Ning doesn't want to see them!"
Princess Cheng recovered from the fright that Xie Yin was almost killed and became immediately angry.
"Jin Xiu is Tang Ning's brother after all. If there is a misunderstanding between children, just say a few words and let it go. If the quarrel goes too far, Tang Ning's face will be tarnished. Besides, Governor Xiao is still here."
After Prince Cheng pulled her and persuaded her softly, he turned to look at Xiao Yan.
"Director Xiao, we are all our own people. You should also advise Tang Ning to stop making trouble, so as not to hurt the harmony."
Xiao Yan raised his eyes coldly: "The governor's own people have long since died. Prince Cheng wants to accompany them?"
The smile on King Cheng's face froze.
Xiao Yan was a little tired of these people who were constantly playing tricks on them. He turned to Song Tangning and said, "This place is dirty and it's not easy to recover. Do you want to go with me?"
