Song Tangning looked up in confusion: "What?"
"I said, your brother may not know that he is wrong."
Xiao Yan's words made Tang Ning stunned. Seeing the little girl blinking in confusion, he said softly: "Song Jinxiu is not a child, nor is he as young as Xie Yin. He believes that a gentleman has always been strict with others, so how could he do this? He didn’t know that his behavior was wrong, he just refused to admit it.”
Song Tangning opened his mouth and wanted to ask why.
Xiao Yan had already spoken: "Because he can't admit his mistakes. Once he admits it, he will admit that he ignored family ties. Once he admits it, he will admit that he did not cultivate himself. A gentleman should be strict with himself. Nowadays, the children of aristocratic families pay more attention to self-cultivation. He has always prided himself on being a gentleman, but once he admits that he was wrong, it means that he has lost his moral character."
"Song Jinxiu entered the officialdom at a young age and has always been an outstanding member of the aristocratic family in the capital. He will not let himself be known as immoral, so the only one who is wrong is you."
"But Song Tangning, this has nothing to do with you."
The man's voice was like gravel and ice, low and emotionless, but Tang Ning could hear the comfort in his words.
Although he was a quiet and taciturn person who was tired of explaining things, he seemed to be afraid that she wouldn't understand, so he told her word for word that it was not her fault.
When Tang Ning's nose was congested, she couldn't help but mist appeared in her eyes. She hugged the cloak full of snow and bamboo fragrance that was wrapped around her, as if her wandering and restless heart had found a place to stay, and forced back her tears. .
"Brother, does the house you gave me look good?"
"good-looking."
Xiao Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he leaned on the screen with a casual expression: "The previous owner of that house was fond of pleasure and he knew how to enjoy it. The best scenery was everywhere in the house. I remember the front yard of the house. Many flowers and plants were planted, and a square of water was dug in the backyard to create a hot spring. If I hadn't really been unwilling to move, I would have moved in long ago."
Tang Ning sniffed: "Wouldn't that be an advantage for me?"
Xiao Yan connived: "It's not cheap. If you take the money, you can live in peace if you like."
Tang Ning tilted his head: "Brother, please lend me a few people to look after the home. If the Song family comes to visit, I can send them away."
"good."
"Thank you, brother."
Tang Ning hugged her cloak and grinned. Her eye circles and nose were still red, but her eyes were extremely bright.
Princess Cheng sat aside and saw with her own eyes that Xiao Yan was taking the trouble to coax Song Tangning. His expression was indifferent and he didn't say a word of concern, but every word he said was relieving Tangning's heart, silently soothing her depression, making her The little girl smiled.
She suddenly became more fond of the infamous Governor Xiao in front of her.
So what if you are a eunuch, and what if you are ruthless?
This Governor Xiao's heart is much cleaner than that of the Song family's eldest son. Although he is a little rude in his actions and a little bit poisonous in his mouth, he is sincere towards Tang Ning.
Tang Ning is lucky to have such a brother.
Xiao Yan's mansion is in Jiuyun Lane in the south of the city, far away from the west of the city where Prince Cheng's mansion is located. When the carriage swayed all the way to the front of Xiao's mansion, there were already people waiting eagerly in front of the house next to the Xiao family.
When he saw the carriage stop and Song Tangning was helped out of the carriage, the man rushed over to him crying.
"Girl!"
"Hua Wu?"
Tang Ning was shocked and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan when she was hugged by her personal maid.
Xiao Yan lifted up the long cloak that fell on the ground behind her: "You are seriously injured, so someone needs to take care of you. This maid got a few blows because of a conflict with the maid, and ended up sneaking away at night. When he came out, he seemed to be loyal, so I asked someone to bring him over."
Hua Wu was just fourteen years old, with chubby cheeks and a slight limp when walking.
When she came closer, she looked at Tang Ning who was covered in injuries with tears in her eyes: "I heard them say that you, my lady, frightened your horse and fell off the cliff. They also said that you almost couldn't come back. You scared me to death, wuwuwu, Why are you injured like this? Do you feel any pain..."
Seeing that Hua Wu was almost drowning in tears, Tang Ning vaguely remembered Hua Wu's skinny skin in the previous life, and held a small bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to coax her.
"Girl, please try it. This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is so delicious. My belly is so full."
She deliberately burped and carefully broke up the snacks and fed them to her, but her eyes, which were dark and big because she was too thin, were staring at the pastry she had swallowed for a moment, and she secretly licked her dry and flaky lips. .
"It smells good. I tasted it. It's so sweet..."
The little girl smiled with a pale face, "I have saved a few taels of silver. When you get better, I will secretly find an opportunity to rescue you."
"My slaves have found a way. The people in their front yard are keeping an eye on them, but there is a dog hole in the corner of the backyard. When Master and the others go out, this slave will quietly crawl through with you on his back. After we escape, The slave earns a lot of money and buys all kinds of cakes for the girl to eat."
Hua Wu, full of longing, softly coaxed her with a rotten face.
But later, she saw the bloody Hua Wu beaten to death in the yard just because she stole Song Shulan's bracelet.
She originally wanted to settle down and go back to the Song family to take Hua Wu out, but she didn't expect Xiao Yan to take him out first.
"Hua Wu..."
Tang Ning remembered the way she lay bloody in front of the door in her previous life, and her heart ached so much that she couldn't help but want to reach out and touch her face, but the injury on her hand made Hua Wu cry again.
"How come the girl's hands are like this? How can she write in the future? Wow!"
The little girl was sobbing loudly, sobbing and almost out of breath.
Tang Ning couldn't care less about her sadness and quickly coaxed her: "Don't cry, I'm fine. I just look a little embarrassed. I'll be fine after a while."
"Really, really?"
"Really, if you don't believe me, ask your aunt."
Hua Wu looked at Princess Cheng longingly, and Princess Cheng next to her was also amused by her crying face.
"What your girl said is true. Her injuries are not a problem. She can get better as long as she changes her dressing and rests well. But if you keep crying like this, she might not be able to stand. And doesn't your butt hurt?"
He was so alive and kicking just after being hit.
"Go in first." Xiao Yan said, "I have already sent people to tidy up the inside a bit. After you enter, you can move in in the main courtyard first. Uncle He is an old man in my house, and I will lend you my envoy for the time being. If you don’t know anything, just ask him, or send someone to look for me next door.”
"I've seen the girl." Uncle He stepped forward and saluted.
Tang Ning looked at Xiao Yan: "Brother, won't you go in?"
"No, no. It's late at night. You and Princess Cheng will settle down first. I'll come back tomorrow."
Xiao Yan was not a talkative person, so it was not easy to coax Tang Ning with a few words. After he told Uncle He to take care of Tang Ning, he nodded towards Princess Cheng, turned around and went directly to the house next door. .
After the people left, Uncle He, who looked at him with a kind face, smiled and stepped forward: "It's cold outside. Let the girl and the princess go in first. I'll have someone carry the things on the carriage in."
Tang Ning nodded: "I'm sorry to bother you, Uncle He."
